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

[A Crazy Fool]

Geez, people keep underposting me. This is scary

WarShrike:

Oops, forgot about the HD. You have 6 character levels (In adition to the 8 HD) in whatever you want and you are treated as a 16th level character. The d8s are handle just like levels in a PC class (you get max HP for your first abberation HD)


Shayuri:

I have Complete Arcane, Adventurer, and Warrior as well as Races of Stone and Races of the Wild.

ethandrew:
6 class levels to start (this may change once I see the build). But remember, a slaad is a chaotic exemplar, I may disallow because it is too chaotic to function in a party.

 

[ethandrew]

It would just most likely be Blue Slaad + 5 Levels of Master of Unseen Hand + 1 level of Fighter.

That would put him at 14 HD, which leads me to a question: as per a blue slaad's advancement on page 229 in the MM, this would make him Huge instead of Large. Which would you like him at?

 

[Shayuri]

Arr, not bad...okay let's see...

I'm thinking a Pixie or Nymph warlock...or possibly sorceror...

Nymph would be cool, but the druid levels are kind of superfluous.

Hmm! Do you have or allow Eberron? A warforged artificer could be a lot of fun. Perhaps as a creature from Mechanus...

Or if you have Book of 9 Swords, a swordsage...

ethandrew:
There would be no size advancement. The main problem is the extremely chaotic nature (he won't work with a party for long and won't handle social situations very well.

Shayuri:

Pixie and nymph both work (Nymph would probably work better though. We need a party healer and people person. I also find constant greater invisibility to be a real nuisance, but if you want to play a pixie, you can).

I don't have any Ebberon books, but I'd allow a warforged character if you posted what abilities you'd have. I don't have book of 9 swords either. (I'm just a poor high school student. I can't afford very much in the way of gaming books)

 

[Shayuri]

Arr, no worries. Just brainstorming.

How many class levels would a pixie or Nymph have, by the way?

Pixies have 1 racial hit dice, which basically means they take on the HD of their class, just like PC races, and are CR 4 (5 if they have the Irresistible Dance power). They're listed as ECL +4. By the book they'd get 12 class levels for ECL 16.

Nymphs have 6 racial hit dice, are CR 7, and ECL +7. By the book they'd get 9 class levels for ECL 16.

The basic idea I'm toying with is a 'corrupted' fey...a fey from a place tainted with fiendish influence. Thus, kind of pale and gothy looking, gloomy and depressed with flashes of meanness... Perhaps it's a goal of the character to clean the 'taint,' or to embrace it fully, becoming a fiend... I'll have to toy with that idea...

 

[ethandrew]

Which is why I'll have him based out of Sigil for quite some time, tempering his chaotic nature. I'm leaning toward making him TN with latent chaotic tendencies, since any overt chaos would alert him to the lady, which is not what anyone wants when they're in Sigil.

I would imagine the more he's around other blue slaads, the more chaotic he becomes. But when around adventuring, adventurers, and in sigil, he's smart enough to know what's right and wrong.

ethaqndrew:
OK

Shayuri:
Pixies just use a +4 LA. Nymphs would have 7 class levels (in adition to thier racial HD) to bump them up to CR 14 and effective character level 16. That said, the nymph is a bit weaker than a 7th level druid (the basis of my estimate) especialy when her blinding beuty ability won't affect as many people, so it is possible that I may allow annother class level

 

[Shayuri]

Oh!

lol...don't hate me. I know I'm pestering you. I can't help it.

I just had an idea for a renegade familiar...a pseudodragon that was a familiar to a powerful mage, and either broke free or was released when the mage died. The ex-familiar has some of the master's power, and goes on to learn more magic on its own, thus becoming a powerful mage in its own right.

If it's actually a 'rogue' familiar, its goal might be to liberate itself from a cruel master! If the master is dead, then it could be after revenge!

Edit - response to your post above - Hmm...so I could have 14 druid caster levels...and the class features of a 7th level druid, plus the racial spiffs of a Nymph... I could do some healing with that, yes... Druids and Charisma don't synergize much, but I could spare it some points and some Diplomacy skill. Or maybe go Scout levels or something, and just stick with the natural druid levels...

Shayuri:

I was thinking of playing a rouge familiar once. Go ahead. You can have a pseudodragon (W/O any possible granted abilities) at 15th level. If you want stuff like SR then you can reduce the number of class levels. (Does the familiar have a familiar? )

 

[Shayuri]

You know what would be hilarious? For the pdragon to have a human familiar.

What are your feelings about the Leadership feat?

Here's a link to the online SRD's statblock for a psuedodragon too. You can decide how many class levels they'd get.
