[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 3374557, member: 4936"] lol...I keep digging myself in deeper. :) Are dragon PC's appropriate? I'm thinking they might actually be a bit underpowered since their ECL's won't allow much in the way of class levels...but I have to ask. Right now I have like...five concepts competing for supremecy in my head. One thing that would help to hear too is to what extent "optimizing" you expect/desire. Like, a dragon PC is pretty poor on an optimization scale, but it's pretty cool otherwise! A monk 1/sorceror6/PRC/PRC/PRC etc etc might be optimized and scarily so...but might be less entertaining. With one high ECL character already submitted, it was looking to me like this might be a game to try a less-than-perfectly-badass epic concept...but I don't wanna do that if the challenges will be as for Board-Optimized Mega Giants. :) Anyway, concepts so far: Monk/sorceror - Asian style concept of the daughter of an illicit mortal/divine tryst, featuring her now striving for a place among the immortals of the Jade Court. Ranger/Scout/Beastmaster - Feral or quasi-feral human riding and fighting alongside a monstrous dire wolf. Vaguely inspired by...(mumblemononokemumble)... But only kinda! :) Wizard/Elemental Savant/?? - Wizard transcended to air elemental; storm queen and conjuration specialist. Lots of weather spells and summons. Draconic sorceror (or dragon) - Either a sorceror seeking draconic apotheosis through mighty magicks, or a dragon eager to reconnect with its former Prime home. Warlock artificer - I'd love it if warforged were allowed as races. If not, no biggie. This warlock is the result of intense magical self-experimentation, and he compulsively builds everything from items to constructs, being fascinated by the confluence of magic energy and material objects. I realize these aren't backgrounds. Just showing you what I'm up against. :) I'll winnow these down and get some more details to ya toot sweet! [/QUOTE]
