[QUOTE="Creamsteak, post: 367557, member: 552"] Lichtenhart I'd like very much to play a half-celestial ancient gold Dragon, Creamsteak. Please. Reply: That is fine. I'm having trouble coming up with a blanket rule for templates myself. How about we focus just on the ability scores provided. Add them all up, +6 = +1 ECL, +12 = +2 ECL, +18 = +3 ECL, +24 = +4 ECL. Also, there's a limiter. For ECL +1 you can have no bonus greater than +2. For ECL +2 you can have no bonus greater than +4. For ECL +3 you can have no bonus greater than +6. So... if you were an absolute templeted paragon, with +10 to all attributes (+60 total), you would be ECL +10, same as divine rank 0. Seems pretty fair to me. ---------- Ashrem Bayle I'm looking at: Human Psion 20 / Metamind 10 / Crystal Master 6 I'm going to assume you are allowing Bruce Cordell's varients and If Thoughts Could Kill. Let me know what you need. Reply: Depends on your co-DM. If they have the book, then that's good enough. If they don't you will need to post the applicable rules in your post in the rogues gallery, when it's opened. Note: ITCK is fine. ---------- Janos Audron I'm thinking about wiz 16, Rank 1... Note: k. ---------- The Forsaken One Ah what the heck I'll just be a 36 HD dragon Note: k. ---------- Janos Audron Is there *any* race *at all* which has a +2 charisma bonus, without ECL? Reply: Or else a race with +4 charisma and some ECL? +2 Charisma, -2 somethign, and write up the race. If you have no other recourse, this is what I recommend. ---------- Dalamar Hmm... No word from creamy yet if I can use FCTF rules... I'll go ahead and make the char with them, he can be edited to take them away if I'm not allowed to use them. Reply: Yes, you can use them, but your co-dm will have to either have the book, or you will need to type up the rules that apply to your character for me. I think I'm getting the signal people want to play psionics are different, tell me if so. ---------- Cloudgatherer I "set" my Int raise to kick in at at level 26, giving 10 levels of beneficial skill points. Since I don't have an Int item (might not get one for Ftr/Rog) might not need it. If that's not acceptable, let me (us) know. Reply: What's the official way of dealing with it? I thought you gain skill points for every normal, racial, and bonus int modifier point for every character level, as if you always had that much INT, but items don't apply. ---------- Cloudgatherer I didn't know we were supposed to post here. DM, any word on that? My character is done except for background and possessions. Still working on it. Reply: cool. I wouldn't say don't post here, this is the construction thread, which I'll subdivide into three or so threads when the time comes. One will be for characters, one for storylines, plots, continents and such, and one for us to work on rules and stuff. ---------- Zack2216 I was wondering, for wildshape purposes, will you allow me to abuse the wildshape rules that say I change by type? I was hoping to be able to fly around as a paragon air elemental. Anyway, because I can expect that to not be allowed, what creatures will I be familiar with for the use of wildshape and shapechange? You would think I would be extremely affluint with all of the different types of monsters. I was thinking of being familiar with all creatures with CR 36 or less, considering I am epic and am pretty sure I have seen all of them. Just curious. Reply: If it's against the rules, I don't see why you should break them. If you feal it should be part of the campaign world as some divine feat, epic feat, normal feat, prestige class, or such, just tell me. [/QUOTE]
