[Closed] The Standing Stone

[ByteRynn]

How do you feel about Geomancers from CD? I thought it might add a whole new level of wierd nature/arcane secrets mystacism to my Gypsey. I don't plan on ever taking any of the very obvious and super-freaky drifts, just the subtle ones that surprise people when faced with them.

I would be Halfling Spirit Shaman 6 and Sorcerer4/Geomancer2 (Probably with Flower wilting Touch and Cat's Tail)

 

[Question]

I think i will make a fighter/wizard then go into arcane archer next level.

The Stonechild race is from Races of Stone (in the 'other races of stone' section). It's a 2 hit-die EL +4 race, and the book provides a 6-level "monster class" which gives all the benefits evenly spaced out over 6 levels (but only giving HD at 2 levels). If the monster class as a second class is allowed, I'll go with a Stonechild 6/Fighter 5 + Stonelord 1 (from Complete Warrior). If not, I'll go with the Goliath version as a Goliath Fighter 5/Barbarian 5. Either way the concept of a massively durable stony tank is the same.

Geomancers are quite fun, if not overly abused.

Hmm...I realize it's not on the list of accepted sources, but I have to give it a go.

Is the Artificer class from Eberron okay?

Sorry, no Eberron classes.

 

[Shayuri]

No worries! Just getting it out of the way once and for all.

I shall post later today!

Appearance and Personality: Kolan is a large, heavily built craggy man, his skin a rough grey the color of granite. He wears a massive suit of heavy armor, which would crush most other men. Nevertheless, he somehow manages to move with a spring in his stride and gives the impression of constant energy. By nature, Kolan is fairly genial, slow to anger and always interested in a good adventure - especially if it gives the chance to explore some new and interesting dungeon buried under the earth.

Brief Background: Raised by his father - an adventurer of some reknown, Kolan always showed interest in exploring, especially underground. Kolan is always fascinated by exploring hidden caves and dungeons beneath the ground, and derives great joy from unearthing hidden treasures from the ground and learning new secrets from underground. His formidable skills as a warrior and his near-indestructability have meant that he rarely has to look far to find a group of others to adventure with.

Background: [sblock]Sylas was a very sickly child who was nearly killed with fever. His parents had almost given up on him when he started seeing and talking to someone named "grandfather crow". One night, late, Sylas wandered out into the wilderness, sneaking away from his family, led by some unseen force.

His time in the wilderness is a mystery, not least of all to him. He learned many strange and terrible things from grandfather crow, and when he finally found his people again, and returned to them, they were frightened by his new and strange power, but rejoiced that he had returned to them. HE had gained wisdom while he was away, and in his family's travels, he earned money as a fortune teller, and gained a reputation as a wise and knowledgeable sage. One day, as his clan was picking up to move once more, grandfather crow mentioned that it was time to go off alone again, that the time had come to learn new and exciting and very dark things. This time, as Sylas ventured forth, he found some companions with which to learn about the world. He started developing a very close tie to nature, being gifted by the spirits of nature with strange gifts...and in some cases having to pay terrible prices.[/sblock]

Appearance: [sblock]Sylas is small, even by halfling standards. He looks sickly, though he tries to hide most of his frailty beneath thick, dark robes and cloaks. If one looks very closely at him, they may notice a particularly unusual rustling of his robes, as if, perhaps, there is a tail beneath them.[/sblock]

Personality: [sblock]Sylas is a very serious and spooky individual. He is vengeful and prideful. He is very much more inclined to follow his instincts and his philosophies rather than follow his intellect. He is loyal to friends, and protective of the weak. He does not stand for anyone to cross him, however, and such annoyances invariably earn Sylas's wrath.[/sblock]

I may be off (I don't have Races of Stone), but a stonechild is at least ECL +4, so your character as written would be a 10th level character, not a 6th.
