Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mr. Kaze" data-source="post: 2223722" data-attributes="member: 8848">As a player, I hate people who build characters like this for one leading reason:Used to play in a game where one characters incessant mantra was "Just X more levels and I'll be sooooo cooool" every single time he was utterly useless in the current situation.  Which was always.  I lost ~15% of my XP to that leechy b@$t@rd and never saw him do anything uniquely worthwile.  (Druid/Monk mix for shapeshifting, cept that we already had another full Druid in the party, no full fighters, and most of the game we were too low-level for him to shapeshift at all.)Similarly, DM'd a guy building for "True Necromancer (v3.0)" that routinely missed out on all but the last round of combat because he was too busy casting buffing spells on himself while the Ogre, Half-Dragon, and wildly multiclassed fighter/thief/etc were laying waste to the battlefield.  They really started resenting losing 25% of their XP to a guy that was barely even there.So regardless of whether the build is legal or not (looks like it isn't due to evasion, not to mention RP issues with Ur-Priests), I wouldn't want to play play with it as a player at level 3 so I'd have to advise a DM against letting it tax the other players in the game.  It's not going to be "sooooo cooool" -- it's going to be sooooo annoying.</blockquote>
