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

[Shayuri]

I shall leave the finer points of alignment up to the philosophers.

I still am not following you on the pearls.

Each pearl, when activated (as a standard action), recovers a spell slot that had previously been expended. They don't provide bonus spell slots. Having 2 1st level pearls of power just means you can recover 2 1st level slots, after you use them. So, for example, if I cast Faerie Fire, then need it, I can use a Pearl and recover it. Then I need a Produce Flame, but I cast them already...I can recover one of those.

Useful for repeat-casting lower level heals and spells like remove disease and so on.

More specifically (adding to what you've said, not contrasting), it recovers the specific spell used in that slot. You don't get to change the spell alotted. Pearls of Power aren't nearly as good as extra spell slots.

Ah. Never mind. I'm mixing up items then. I suppouse I should post stuff like that when I have the DMG with me.

Going back to what Shayuri said earlier, are we allowed items from the Magic Item Compendium?

WarShrike

Edit: Oh, and if we have the feats, can we make our own items?

 

[A Crazy Fool]

I don't have the magic item compendium. If you post what they do up here, then the answer is probably yes. You can make your own items, just make sure you post how much GP and XP you've spent in it's own section. (everyone starts at 128,000 XP, which is halfway up to 17th)

Nac Mac Feegle:

Because I need to make tweaks, and see the full dragon statblock to do that, playing a shadow dragon is out. Also, the red dragon pact is called off because Valkith is dead and Tur'nath is blown into to very small peices according to PW Planescape cannon (which is what I use unless I say otherwise). We also have one dragon in the party. I don't want two. Githyanki isn't out though.

there are few things that make playing (essentialy) a githyanki knight a problem:
1. Githyanki knights (a dragon rider would qualify as a knight) are fanatical and would have huge problems working with non-gythyanki.
2. Valkith is only very recently dead, so it would be very dificult to justify how someone who is loyal to Valkith and such a high level has not been consumed by her.
3. The Red dragon Pact was voided on Valkith's death

Alright, I'll figure out a different general design - I think I'll keep exploring using psionics, but I might shift over to Psion or Wilder and go for a caster-type. I'm going to comb the books for interesting psionic monsters, if I don't find any I might fall back on a more standard race.

 

[Scurry]

Shapechange at will, but only into other humanoids.

Oh, okay. Silly panicking me.

I don't have a problem with that, most of the infliltration capacity comes from detect thoughts and Chameleon levels (the better to mimic your friends, my dear.) So I think I'll go with Doppleganger for now, if no one has objections. I'll start statting it up at 4HD, 10 class levels?

On the intelligent magic item: Something along the lines of an ancient, powerful thing that got thrashed back in the day, bound into a weapon/suit of armor, and wants to re-ascend. (Feel free to tell me to shaddup and play the damn doppleganger, but I figured I'd pursue this too since when else am I gonna get to play an item?)

Nac Mac Feegle:

I would personaly sugest not playing a wilder (Have you ever tried? I have. I gave up and rolled a new character after two sessions.). It is one of the weakest and least useful classes in D&D. Kinda like playing a 1 person game as a bard but bad in a diferent way. For your sake, if you want to use a psionic character use a psion or post something from complete psionic up here.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Ah, if I can cherrypick a bit from Complete Psionic I'm sure I can make this work. I might just make a Phrenic Elan or something.

 

[A Crazy Fool]

Just tell me what you're taking. Once again, the answer is probably yes, but I like to know what to expect.
