League of Extraordinary (calling all players ;))

Karl - I am going to go with a Bloodsworn Shulassakar so I will take the class combo of Ranger/Paladin, since that is what most of the Bloodsworn are anyway.

Hi Karl, any thoughts on the special abilities on my character? I have some time to make any modifications you want this Wednesday.

Okay, I figured I would go with the changeling. Will get brief stats up today or tomorrow sometime.

Ranger/Rogue. Master explorer and Xen'drik ruin delver has come home after a long and brutal imprisonment, and probable level drain. Are there any detriments/costs to Gestalt? What are the rules/costs for reputation? What kind of options are there for the +3 ECL rule?

No costs for Gestalt, either they are allowed or not. On Reputation I will post something later, but the basics is that each character class gains a Reputation bonus like that found in D20 Modern. Two new feats are included called Low Profile and Renown. Gives you a bonus to CHA based skills in certain situations

I also know that UA has alternative rules for rangers. Honestly, I'd prefer a spear to two weapons, spells don't excite me, and an animal companion may be simply unfitting for my concept. Are the alt rules worth it? Opinions?

The Ranger variants in UA are Planar Ranger and the Urban Ranger which I don't think really go the way you want. I don't really like the non-Spellcasting Ranger found in Comp. Warrior, mostly because it gains supernatural abilities instead of magic? Seemed to kind of defeat the idea; so I change it a bit, if you want to look it over, here is is...

The ranger loses the ability to cast divine spells (and thenin the Animal Companion).
4th level - Fast Movement (ex). Land based speed is increased by 10ft. This benefit applies only when he is wearing no armor, light armor, or medium armor and not carrying a heavy load.
8th level - Trackless Step (su). (as 3rd level druid ability).
12th level - Bonus Feat
16th level - Bonus Feat
20th level - Bonus Feat

Basically giving a Feat for each level they would give a new Spell level, and again at 20th. We can talk about it and move stuff around.
As for Two-Weapon, well you get a choice of Two-Weapons or Ranged Weapons as you Combat Form but I don't mind if we 'created' another Combat Form so long as they follow the same rules and power level.

Also, any ideas for a good favored enemy from Xen'drik? The cannon is still a bit fuzzy on this subject, so I'm leaning towards elves at this point, also a probable captor from my past.

Giants and Drow are the two big bads from Xen'drik but there are others.

Since my artificer also has ranks in Craft(alchemy), how do I determine how much alchemical items cost for me if I wanted to purchase a bunch with my 500gp? As soon as you can tell me this, I'll have the character done sans history.

Hmm how about 70% the normal cost, as you can get these without any XP cost. With the Artisan feat, take your break off that price. Sound good? I will give you some additional XP bonus for stuff later...

Also, I took all three of the Artisan feats at level one instead of a dragonmark feat. I think even though he has no dragon mark, he was looked upon as an great person (read: asset) of the family because of his ability to make things quickly, efficently, and without much drain to himself. Any thoughts on that?
-P.C.

Sounds good but I thought you were kind going to a rebel as it were and did not have any House ties? It is up to you of course just want to figure it out

Hi Karl, any thoughts on the special abilities on my character? I have some time to make any modifications you want this Wednesday.

I have an am still thinking about it but like I said I want to wait to see everyone before I say YES/NO to this or that.

NOW what I am leaning towards (but not 100% yet) YES - Large size, Furry of Blows
MAYBE - Fast Movement

The rest still thinking about it, but just want to be right about this the first time

That's cool Karl, I just wanted to make certain it was noticed. Do you have any thoughts on the burden and other special rules I posted? I wanted to give him some flaws you could work into the game if you wanted something.

Karl, how are we determining beginning HP?
