Before you say 'ohmygod' bear in mind that the campaign is somewhat further advanced than the SH - there are, I guess, implicit spoilers in his stat block. Balancing the characters - something I try to do from time to time, despite the fact I don't think the concept holds any real credibility - has always been a guessing game for me. The spellcasters (burning xp and developing spells) are a particular problem in this regard, as are my attempts to avoid a glut of magic items, so I have to intuit it to a large extent.  Note that the PrC ideas developed for Ed were suspended in light of the 3.5 half-celestial template. I think that, with the saint template in the BOED, they are likely to be dropped altogether - Mark is still ruminating on that one.Also note the development of Lukarn  - it continues to be a levelled weapon. The sunblade power has evolved somewhat. More on this as the SH unfolds.More to follow.*Eadric of Deorham, the AhmaMale half-celestial human paladin 15 / divine disciple 5 / fighter 2; CR 25; Medium outsider (augmented humanoid, native); HD 15d10+90 plus 5d8+30 plus 2d10+12; hp 253; Init +2; Spd 20ft.
