KB? Can I use a Prc from the Wotc splatbook for clerics (Name escapes me at the moment) I'm considering a Bard/Holy Liberator 1

Basic concept for him is he has been seeking to understand his "disconnectedness" with the world by delving into music and magic. He however has founs a calling he had not expected and has latched onto it as it's the closest thing to passion he has ever felt outside of music.

I'll send you more as he fleshes out.

I'm going to allow both the sacred exorcist and the holy liberator, but like the paladin, you should be aware that in my games detect evil works only on supernaturarly tinged evil - cleircs of evil dieties, outsiders, undead, etc. it cannot be used as a personality test.

That's fine with me. Agamemnon will start as full Bard (need a +5 BAB for HL) but will go Holy Liberator on 8th level. I'll have him done shortly. work is evil to me.

(gepko is trying the DM's patience... this is why I suggested just having you already together. :p )
:p yourself :D

Sorry about that, I'm just trying to make things a little more realistic (yea ! we're both PC, let go together !!). Besides, you introduced Orillian and Julian earlier, so we have to occupy our time somehow ;) .

More than fine since that is clear from the beginning.

I'll look over Defenders of the Faith tonight for a feat to switch with evolve. I replaced my concentration with planar knowledge and spellcraft. I now have most of the mechanical prereqs for sacred exorcist and plan to take it shortly.

Other than the feat I am ready to go and be woven into the story line.

is there still space?

officially yes, since 7 is the limit for the adventure and we only have 5 fully completed characters. Argent however seems very close, and there are two others with not fully articulated interest. If the three without approved character concepts can give me clear ideas of what you want to play by this evening, I could make myself feel wanted by choosing the one that best fits what we have so far. ;)

You must also complete a 100 word essay entitled "Why I think Kahuna Burger's play style as articulated on these boards is the best thing since sliced bread" and no, the title doesn't count in the words... :eek: :p

I will pass for now, but if you do open up one where the ape idea may work, I'll be the first one to get my concept to you..:)

Good luck all..

Book of Exalted deeds feat

Is the feat purify spell from Book of Exalted Deeds a valid option? It is a 1 level metamagic that gives spells the good descriptor and causes them to increase damage by one die category if hitting an evil outsider, but half damage against neutrals and no damage to good creatures. Prereq is good alignment.

Appearance:
Ag is 5’10” tall and 150 pounds. He has black hair kept in a braid down his back. His eyes are gun metal blue. His only major distinguishing feature is a strange tattoo on his left hand.

Biography:
Agamemnon Grant is the only son of General Titus Grant. His father is one of the generals of the army of the kingdom. As the son of a high-ranking general he was afforded many opportunities other would never have. Ag unfortunately has a problem he has no ability to focus himself in one thing. He has learned a great deal of things on a great deal of subjects but is a master of few.

His main focus in life has been on arcane studies and his father forced military knowledge down his throat. He has his father’s power of personality and his mother’s mystical bend. Growing up in a military school and military family has forged him into a good leader if not the most powerful warrior or mage.

He has the leadership feat. I envision him finding followers along the way as contacts in places we go. As for a cohort that’s entirely up to you. I’m fine without one but if there’s a need for a “class” we’re missing them there is an avenue to add it. Or if I meet a cool npc… you never know.

Actually purify spell won't be useful until I can cast 6th levl slot flamestrikes, so I think I'll wait to take that and consider a different feat.

question... i'm thinking maybe a druid with the two variants from Unearthed Arcana, plus VoP to make a true hunter of the evils that plague the land... adopted by some celestial animals and fey he was brought up in the woods, learned to summon the powers of nature (spellcasting), the power of the beast within him (rage, fast movements, wis to ac), became a hunter of the evils of the forest (favored enemy), track. Never learned to use armor, refused to use anything but the natural world around him (thus VoP) and has asked that any who wish to reward him work to help eradicate evil. Also thinking of making him blind, but don't know how to work that. It'd definately be an interesting twist. Maybe make an Exalted feat which granted him a the sight of the heavens similar to blindsense or blindsight.

Druidic Avenger variant
gives up animal companion
gives up spontaneous casting of summons
gets a -4 penalty to wild empathy checks
gains fast movement as barb
gains rage 1 at first plus once every 5 levels
gets tireless rage at 17th level
switches diplomacy for intimidate

Hunter variant
gives up wild shape (all)
gives up armor and shield prof.
bonus to ac (as monk)
fast movement (as monk)
favored enemy (as ranger)
swift tracker (as ranger)
track (as ranger)

The concept is definitly interesting, but I think that might be a few too many tweaks at once even for me... I'll read over the varients today, but I'm thinking that allowing a free multiclass with monk might be a more balanced solution than having both varients. or take only the hunter varient and multiclass with barbarian... I will dwell on this.

The end result also sounds a fair amount like a Wild Child class I've been toying with for an ongoing project, but I have delusions of publication and am a little wary of throwing it right out there. Basicly its a class for those Raised By Wolves and involves a modified version of fast movement, no weapons and access to animal special abilities as feats (pounce, rake, etc). If you and the others would put up awith a little playtesting, I could elaborate that for you.

but anyway, lots of plans for today, but I will read up on those varients.

I made a Feral-type class which focused more on combat and was designed around a character who becomes more of a magical beast/animal type over time. They're hunters and such.

Only difference is they aren't spellcasters.

This is an old link to the class. It hasn't been updated, so I'll update it in a minute.

Interesting, it did end up very similar to the wild child in the classes of abilities included, though I made pouncing, sprinting and I think some others part of the wild run ability - I think pounce is too powerful an ability to choose it as a feat whenever... I'd make some abilities pre reqs for others or just decide the order they are gained in based on power, but the flavor is definitly the same. I think the power level overall is a little too much with full fighter bab, many of the same goodies as the monk, major damage and bonus feats, but thats another topic...

Anyway, I looked in UA and I don't think I could allow both varients to be applied at once, though either would be fine and I think could be combined with multiclassing to get what you want.

*nods* i'll try to think something up for a character then... i personally despise multiclassing to make a character concept work imperfectly... oh well... time for a different idea

the class actually has been playtested a bit and it doesn't turn out too powerful in a standard party. they're more combat oriented than a monk so they got the fighter BAB but they're still limited to using natural weapons for basically any of their abilities. and pounce although might be nice, is only available during a charge which means a penalty to ac and only with natural weapons. The class turned out to be able to hit hard in the first round if they got the jump on something, but otherwise had a hard time doing a stand-up fight since their HD is lower, their natural weapons at the start are only a d6, and a lot of their benefits are quite dissimilar to a monks. there is no potential instant-death attack, no stunning fist stuff, most of what is similar is basically because otherwise they'd be handicapped (damage reduction penetration stuff). nevermind too much chatter...

i'll see if i can figure something else out
