[GO:V] A Game of Opposites: Villains OOC (Heroes Stay out!)

[Wippit Guud]

So, we can't take psionic classes?
That might change a lot of people's minds about what race to play.

Someone duggested evil outsiders, I'm all for that, but the ECLs are a bit steep.

 

[perivas]

hmm, you wanna play some of the slaves? I don't think that is possible, because you'll be severly limited in your movements. But if you don't mind roleplaying obediance againt the illithid, you'll be a special slave that has reaised to a better status within the community.

Well, my concept was an overcautious and somewhat paranoid goblin shaman, who along the way eliminated all potential challengers and took over his goblin tribe. However, when the tribe ran into the illithids, he estimated (due in part to his overcautious nature and in part to his ongoing campaign to eliminate all potential challengers...however remote...from the ranks of his tribe) that they would lose badly. Therefore, he pledged his allegiance to the illithids. But, being the goblins that they are...they have nearly no status within this community. Of course, I entirely understand if you want everyone to play illithids...as you may end up with everyone making a request to play something else and ending with too diverse a group, in which we probably should not be playing illithids. But for now, I'm all for illithids and merely suggest paying something else for myself, but if you want everyone as an illithid, I wholeheartedly support you and gladly join the ranks.

Also, does anyone know the ECL for Mindflayers? (although It'll probarly not be precise enough to use it)

I'm fairly sure that the ECL for mindflayers is plus eight (+8)! At ECL +8, it pretty much precludes playing spellcasters of any sort.

ECL +8? you sure, they are CR 8, and for example a minoyaur (CR 4) is allready ECL +8, but this varies per race.

I don't think getting access to psionics is that big deal if we're playing mind flayers, most of their abilities are at will and the odd power point and psionic feat from our class levels won't really make too much of a difference.

I guess playing evil outsiders will give us a bit more choice, but my vote is with the tentacled ones. Still, I don't really mind what we end up playing.

Edit: I guess I didn't make it that clear above. I can definatley live without psionics. With such a high ECL our caster levels will probably be too low to make it worth while.

 

[The Forsaken One]

Mindflayers are ECL 8 or 12... can't remember. Check MM and errata. +8 ECL is ok IMHO. Never had any probs with that.

 

[Timothy]

Evil outsiders can be done as well, I don't mind.

But I don't know anything off Psionics, so no Psionic classes.

 

[Hygric]

Greeetings oh mighty and infallible over-brain.

Illithid sounds good to me!

Racecalc works them out to be ecl 8, so we would have what, about 2 levels to play with?

Illithid / monk?

 

[The Forsaken One]

Omg illithid monk... the cliche...

If no Telepath is allowed, go sorcerer. That's the other preferred class.

 

[Janos Audron]

I'd prefer evil outsider

 

[The Forsaken One]

Now that's a surprise
