[QUOTE="Runesong42, post: 2249124, member: 10578"] Personally, if I were an Aristocrat, I would have put that 17 on Charisma, but that's just how I roll. With an Int of 24, you'd be crazy NOT to become a wizard, or a psion of some type. If you are creating a bloodline, I would consider making a bloodline based on ultra-intelligent monsters. Illithids, Celestials, or anything psionic. If your DM permits, take a quick leaf through the Monster Manual and pick out some monsters with an uber-Int core, and plan accordingly. With your decent Str score, you're almost a shoe-in for a Fighter/Mage or Fighter/Psion type. Since you have the Unearthed Arcana, ask your DM if he would be into using gestalt characters. Then simply advance simultaneously as the above classes. Psychic Warrior/Psion combo would be scary as hell, too. As an aristocrat, you have to decide where you stand in your royal family. If you are in line for ruling, and you champion the common people, you might play a "fop" who really doesn't care about the aristocracy -- the type who'd ather hang out at the tavern wiht the common folk than walk around the palace in stuffy shirts all the time. You could be problematic to the local King/Lord, who is tired of seeing his son/heir waste his life on frivolous pursuits. Heck, if you go rogue, perhaps the Lord constantly tries to keep you confined in the castle, and you somehow always escape. If you're just another Joe Noble who happens to have Royal blood, you don't even have to focus on your Aristocracy. Maybe it's not important. Maybe your love for the common folk has you "left out" from all the big noble galas, festivals, and oter get-togethers. The Nobility calls upon you only when you are absolutely the last possible resort. Or, perhaps you champion the common people to improve your popularity, and once you make a push against the local Lord to take his place, the people will assist you. Perhaps you are even a Robin Hood type, trying constantly to stick it to the nobles from who you were born. As for prestige classes, I don't really have much experience or a wide knowledge of them outside of the core rules, but there ae some cool "base" classes in the 3.5 rules. Consider those. I still would throughly enbrace the Psion idea, though. Any way you slice it, you're a shoe-in for mental powers of some kind. [/QUOTE]
