Appearance

The First Primortal has spent innumerable days and nights on the field of battle wearing his Haori and full helm. It is said that he his eyes have no pupils, or that they are red, white, or solid black. Others say he has no face- that the helm is now a part of him. The helm itself is polished silver and forged to shape perfectly around Ikatsu's head but cover his eyes, nose, and mouth.

His Haori, taken from an vanquished opponent many centuries ago, is solid white, trimmed in thread-of-mithral patterns around the cuffs, collar, and hem. A spell repelled by its wards causes it to briefly take on a golden appearance.

Ikatsu is immensely tall, standing seven and one-half feet and weighing 230 pounds. His extreme leanness belies his ferocity in battle.

Backstory

Ikatsu is the final step of devolution of godhood before mortalhood. He is one of three Primortals (a male cleric and a female sorceror round out the bunch) created by the over-dieties during the systematic creation of all Beings. This process began with the greater deities and ended with the basest of living things. Along the way, immortal beings of the non-Prime Material planes were created to serve the gods (directly or indirectly) while the subsequent sentient mortals were created to be worshippers of the gods.

As a Primortal, he is the least of all celestials -the next closest thing to being mortal- but is nevertheless immensely respected among them. Solars venture to his battlefield to test their mettle against him. To date, he has never lost a duel.

He currently resides in Acheron where he directs the mindless armies in endless battle and hones his skill with the katana in a ceaseless cycle of ascending, achieving ascention, and reascending. If Ikatsu served any diety, it would be the god of war, but only indirectly through his constant battles.

Someone: At first glance, everything looks good. Can you send me a Word file so that I can take a closer (and possibly better formatted) look at it? :)

The post was directly copied and pasted from the word file where I have the character. Tell me what kind of format do you prefer and I´ll send it asap.

Oh, one thing...your age...you're immortal...so don't worry about that...well, when I say immortal, you CAN die, but you don't age.

OK, fixed that. I´m also changing a couple minor things, but the character remains essentially the same.
 

Someone: That may be the case, but I don't think the boards stick well with the original formatting. If that's all you got, then go ahead and send it...I'll be satisfied with that. :)

Velenne: Very nice! Could you do the same and send me a Word copy?

Mordane: Glory is available to Equitas' clerics as a regular domain. You can choose that without a prestige class giving you a third.

All: As we near our goal (much quicker than I could have expected, heh) I need something from each of you. Most of you have chosen a deity to perform services for, but not all of you have. If you could all give me a deity that you "work for" then I would be greatful. We're getting close to bell time.
 

I just want to make sure I'm not a total lunatic...

What would a +6 brilliant energy greatsword cost? It has a +10 effective bonus. Does this mean it costs 2,000,350 gp?

You've got it right, bub...but the only thing that makes it that much is the +6 enhancement...take it down to a +5 and save yourself about 1.8 mil. :)
 

yes because it has an +6 bonus if you let it +5 you only have to pay about 100k

mordane: that's why i chose that diety, cause i know the domains :)

I put together something a little less expensive, but still nice and impressive... :) I'll be ready to post in about an hour, I think.
 

Rino, I noticed a couple of things; ¿How do you get 14 level spells? I thought Improved spell capacity gives you only 1 slot of a single level higher than the maximum, not all the slots your spellcasting stat allows to have bonus on. And the ioun stones give an enhancement bonus to stats, so they don´t stack with periapts and such.
 

Well, if we're giving our notes...

Rino: the base attacks for a 24th level cleric are +17/+12/+7. The base saves are +14/+8/+14. I think you also shorted yourself 2 points in your base stats - I only count 26.

Should the paragon template be more than +15 ECL? +15 ECL means its ECL is the same as its CR, and usually CR is lower. It's a pretty good template, especially when you consider that all the bonuses to attacks, saves, AC, and skills are effectively increased by +7.5 because of the stat increases. Still, you do lose a lot, especially iterative attacks.
