DCC #8 Mysteries of the Drow (CLOSED)

[Voda Vosa]

Good!

 

[Walking Dad]

Before getting in all the trouble tat means making the character I'm thinking about: Would you allow a mummy cleric?

... Ok, you make weird characters, too

 

[s@squ@tch]

I'm curious to see a mummy based PC with an ECL of 7 or 8.

 

[Voda Vosa]

I'm curious too!

 

[Voda Vosa]

I was reading savage species, and if you want to rule it straight, I can't make such character. I need to get to mummy 13 before multiclassing. I'll come up to something later, I'm open to suggestion.

 

[HolyMan]

Can you add class levels to the mummy in the MM??? I thought that was possible I am working on some background/inter-story stuff to help add your character to the game. It's pretty easy so far I think I will have you be one of the Lich's henchmen who finally wants to get out from under his rule.

You can, but in so doing, the mummy character he would have would likely be stronger (of a higher ECL) than the others in the group. The savage progression VV is talking about basically spreads the mummy's abilities out and makes it into a playable class, gaining the actual racial abilities as it levels up. And it is about a 12 or 13 level class, thereby removing any Cleric levels he might get.

Unless you want to HR it, almight DM.

I was thinking: If the it has a level adjustment of +4, I could get a mummy 4/ cleric 3, using the LA as a ECL. In my opinion, restricting you to get the 12 levels of mummy just to have mummy rot at will doesn't make sense.
A mummy 4/cleric 3, while resilient, and with some traits would only be able to cast second level spells.

 

[Dragonwriter]

With that idea, you'd only have 3d8 HD, giving you 24 HP total, without any feats like Improved Toughness (a whopping 3 more). You would die (again) extremely quickly.

 

[Voda Vosa]

No, since I'll have the HD from the mummy, which are d12, and 4 of those at level 5 I think, if not more.
