There is no such game planned right now but I thought it might be a fun idea for the future.This would be more a roleplaying char, it doesnt necessarily need to be highly optimized BUT from what little experience I have so far it is one of D&Ds problems (at least it can be a problem) that if you build a char geared mainly towards a roleplaying idea you still have to also make sure it can be backed up with mechanics or the character will just make him/herself look ridiculous ingame...Thats what I'm having problems with since I lack the experience for coming up with good, more complex combinations.A char like this might be a kind of warrior, a spellcaster or something in between. probably a multiclass char. Someone who maybe serves an evil god/demon/devil or has abandoned serving deities alltogether. Maybe a fallen priest or something similar.Personally I like at will spells/abilities so a warlock might be a good idea to base on. What other classes have stuff like that?Classes and PRCs that came to mind so far are:Warlock (fits the theme, at will spells, versatile)Cleric (fanatic cleric of an evil deity? Preacher of apocalypse?)Binder (fits the theme, what more could I say?)Warmage (arcane nuking power)Acolyte of the Skin (see Binder)Hellfire Warlock (using the powers of hellfire, hell yea!)Necromancer types (undead, fear effects)Alienist (alien monsters outside the reach of the gods)also fear-based classes and probably alot of others I hardly know anything about (dread witch? nightmare weaver? ....), druids, sorcerers, wizards would also work. Fear effects would probably be a great addition.The Warlock/Binder/HellfireWarlock combo came to mind of course but I already have that for another char (hope I'll get to play him some more, he's still a straight Warlock so far, quite some fun but not yet at the point where the REAL fun starts). Also one with some more backstory stuff worked out. So far he's more like "wtf is happening to me? and why?" though, not evil per se.A standard chaotic evil char who just revels in death and destruction most probably wont work for long, same as a char who will simply betray everyone around him/herself so thats not the idea.Maybe an evil priest seeking new followers for his/her cause/god, A nihilistic apocalypse preacher, someone seeking power in any possible way, .....stuff like thatWhat kinda concepts have you come up with in this vein?What class combinations/builds would you suggest?Any other thoughts on this topic?</blockquote>
