Recruiting for a High Level Planescape Campaign (dead, see the last post, sorry)

[A Crazy Fool]

Monk's belt only provides a +1 bonus to AC. I managed to check.

Hmmm...

Perhaps I should respec and go for a fighty type.

Or...crikey, do we have a Face? A smooth operator?

 

[A Crazy Fool]

kinem's 'loth dosen't have a very high charisma. A face would help, as would annother more stabbitty type. Your choice.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

I could possibly double as the face (for a certain value). I won't the most presentable type, but I'll have very high charisma (for Mind Blasting) and telepaths get a good host of brain-controlling powers.

Also, CF, got a ruling on the Ulitharid?

 

[A Crazy Fool]

I have a mild preference towards the regular ilthilid because I playtested it, but you can choose. Being an ultratharid is like being a greater feind. There are lots of nonmechanical benifits and drawbacks too. Ultratharid would have 2 levels, an ilthilid would have 8.
(expect githyanki and githzerai assasination atempts either way.)

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

I could do the Illithid, I just figured as long as I had a chance to be wacky with CR I'd try out being a crazy mind flayer prophet-type, it felt like it fit high-level evil. I can do that with a normal mind flayer too if you want.

 

[A Crazy Fool]

I really don't care which, but you'll have to find a convincing reason why an ultratharid would abandon the ilthilid power structure and work with thrall-races (actually, the same applies for a normal mind-flayer too, but to a lesser degree)

I'm OK with the monk's belt ruling, but I'm used to the Wis bonus being included as it falls under a monk's AC bonus. But I admit it can be overpowered.

I swapped out the belt and a couple of other items for a mithral buckler +5 (0% ASF) and a ring of protection +1, and made a few other minor changes and corrections.

Harin is not optimized as a high level 'face' but could still do a decent job of social interaction (diplomacy +17, bluff +21, sense motive +21).

 

[Shayuri]

Mew. Between a wizard, a telepathic psion, and Kinem's face, probably no need for a Beguiler.

I'll see what I can do as far as a warrioriffic sort goes.

 

[kinem]

A beguiler could be useful ...

Personally I don't think you should choose based on trying to balance the party. Play what interests you most. If we all end up the same thing and get in trouble because of it, so be it!
