[QUOTE="RUMBLETiGER, post: 6341263, member: 6674868"] I think it could be a fun character to play, as long as the DM and everyone else is cool with it. Incantrix exists to be brokenly overpowerful, lets not pretend there's a non-abusive use for the PrC. Perhaps consider playing the character as a support to the rest of the class? You're an incredible caster, make sure to buff the party & debuff enemies so you don't embarrass everyone else by soloing with your skills. I don't know your campaign world, but I'm assuming in most settings you won't be perceived as Paladin-like. The phrase "[COLOR=#000000]He would be lawful good if not for his methods." is a contradiction, perhaps you could clarify what you mean. One's methods/actions/choices is what shapes a character in these games. This sounds to me like "I'd be lawful except for the one small detail of not following social expectations, and I'd be good except for the fact that I'm actively engaged in evil things." [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] Another thing to consider- These forums exist for brainstorming and imagining a sweet character build, and we all think of what that level 20 epic hero will be capable of doing. In reality, most games start at low levels and take a long time to grow, and often they never arrive at the higher levels. You know you and your other players, realistically what levels with this character play at? If you die at level 2 with those low Fort saves, you'll never achieve level 20 awesomeness. So, what level and what world will this character start in? [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]You've got a powerful Undead character. Have fun with it, make it fun for everyone else. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
