[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 1153751, member: 5100"] That would be my fervent desire. So far, I think this is a given. Any restrictions for switching will be built in by the player. I'm more interested in what the chances of involuntary switching are. This is a thought. We've talked about just using the Eldritch Knight, maybe bumping up the HD to d8. I'm a bit hesitant to shuffle the characters together to quite that extend, though. Absolutely, and without question on both accounts. The first is required by the concept. The second is 1) to keep the two at comparable power, and 2) to reduce paperwork. If I didn't this wouldn't even be a discussion. This player is the most experienced gamer in the group next to me (20 yr vs 15 yr). He's also the other DM in the group. The template and ECL are not to reign in an overzealous player. Rather, they are to balance a concept that is cool, but has some aspects that could easily outshine the the other characters, whether or not the player intended to do so. BTW, thanks for all the help, guys. Don't take anything I'm saying as shooting down ideas. I'm just trying to work through what I perceive as weaknesses in a method. [/QUOTE]
