Need Help on Epic character concept, please [merged]

Need Halp

So IM gonna be startin an epic level campaign soon and all characters start at level 20. So far we have a samurai,cleric, and bladesinger. Seeing as how none of those are strong spellcasters im going to take that roll. Here's my dilema. I like unorthodox classes. I dont want just a regular wizard or sorcerer. But i cant find a complete listing of classes and info on each class anywhere. Anybody have any recommendations on classes or know where i can find a list like that??? Preciate you.

A little elbow-grease, and wikipedia is your friend...

Good luck! I submit, however, that once you hit epic the support for the core wizard/sorceror is going to be a lot better than that for a hexblade 10/warlock 11 -- maybe consider a prestige class instead of an alternate base class?

 

[DuDe iTz FLeX]

Found That.

I Already Found The Wik Listings But I Know There's More Classes Than That. I Can Remember A Few That Arent Even On There And Ive Been Looking For Like 3 Hours Now. There's Gotta Be A Complete Listing Somewhere With Info On Each Class Somewhere. Oh And I Will Definately Be Going Prestige Instead Of Multi-classing. Thanks.

Do. Not. Start every word with a capitol letter, and we might be able to take you a tick more seriously. What exactly are you looking for? What do you remember that is not on that list?

 

[Lackhand]

Well, let's get honest here: how complete do you mean?
Dragon magazine?
3rd party?
variant level-features-which-I'm-too-tired-to-remember-the-real-name-of?

The problem is that nothing will be TRULY comprehensive -- after all, it doesn't have the core classes from my home rules or that someone posted here in the House Rules forum or what-have-you.

But if you just want the missing classes from Dragon Mag, this is a little behind, but still a pretty nifty resource.

is unwieldy, but more up-to-date -- and if you go through all the articles and search for the word "class" you get a nice trip down memory lane.

Bonus!

I like the people who are hard to hit. the last one we ran i was a psion caster with a prestige in elocater and no one could freakin touch me. it was awesome. but now my dm is saying the only exclusion he's making is psions so im screwed on that. i just like using classes and races that people dont normally use to spice things up.

 

[DuDe iTz FLeX]

oh and i remember one class called i think it was ghostface assassin or something like that i think. but now that i think about it that might have been a prestige class.

 

[Lackhand]

Hmm. Are you still looking for stuff? (if so, what? I think I missed exactly what you're asking for, if you were.)

If not, what are you planning on playing?

 

[DuDe iTz FLeX]

i kind of thought about being a shadowcaster but everything i read on that leads me to believe that they're kind of weak even in the higher levels.
