In the very short form of the story, I had orginally intended a legacy character (son of a former character of mine) to have an Immaculate Conception in the vein of one particular icon of a mainstream religion. The mother was a Favored Soul of the campaign's Light deity.
The story went that the mom was captured by a Vampire Lord [Note: IMC, Vampires are Undead, but they are specifcally a sub-culture of Demon] during her pregnancy, and is going to be held captive for the duration of the pregnancy. In the interim, the Vamp Lord is going to mess with the infant, infusing it with his own Dark powers and corrupting the child... somehow.
Several ideas crossed my mind as to how this would best be represented. Keep in mind that my DM isd exceptionally liberal and could give two squars abouot how "tough" my character will be; by contrast, I want a character that's interesting, but not uber-cheesed.
My options:
a) Choosing the Celestial or Vampire bloodline (from UA), and/or
b) Making an Aasimar or Tiefling, and/or
c) Making a Half-Celestial or Half-Fiend.
My concept is to have a character born from my Good-aligned priestess that is tainted somehow, and when he grows up, he will choose to use his dark powers to "serve and protect" the city that his mom helped create.
I have a 32-pt buy (my own choosing - sure, it's high-powered, but it's essentially a solo campaign), and have arranged thusly: S 14 D 14 C 12 I 12 W 14 Ch 14. I intend to multi-class with Ranger (using the Urban Ranger variant from UA) and Monk (alignment and multi-class restrictions cheerfully ignored) and go into the Watch Detective PrC from the 3.0 Masters of the Wild splatbook.
Personally, I think that a plain ol' human with the Vampire bloodline, or an Aasimar with the Vampire bloodline, would fit. There is an inherent cheese in having a Major bloodine AND a template, but... I just can't decide.
I'd like some answers from both sides of the screen. As a player, what would you do? As a DM, what would you tolerate or enjoy seeing?
