[QUOTE="Sepulchrave II, post: 3214058, member: 4303"] I thought that a thread dedicated to various characters might be nice. Matt, Jake et. al can go here in their umpteen incarnations. I figured it would be good to throw in a few other possible benchmark characters, as well. Epic characters take so damn long to detail. I'm going to start with some non-spellcasters; it was pointed out that such characters can afford to invest in templates and monstrous races far more than spellcasting types, who are constrained by CL considerations. I'm assuming the following: 1) Elite array 2) Level cubed x 100 wealth 3) Revised item costs, proportional surcharge. 4) Continued nonepic BAB progression, 4 iterative attacks max. 5) Core only There is a fair deal of min-maxing; I'm trying to test the limits of the system. Hopefully I can get some playtesting in this weekend. If you feel the urge to make any characters, please do - I know it's a long and tedious process, but I think we'll need a lot of them in order to get a perspective on how things progress. First is Irix, an Erinyes. Erinyes make a solid, versatile base.
