Aliyas is one of those characters who keeps hunting for a game to be in. Beastmaster is in Complete Adventurer, and it's basically "the animal companion PrC." It gives effective druid levels (for animal companion purposes only) equal to PrC level +3, some minor spiffs like Speak With Animal as a spell-like a few times per day (at full progression) and sub-companions...which are basically multiple animal companions, but each one progressively weaker than the last. I would probably only take a few levels of Beastmaster though, since I'm not terribly interested in having a menagerie of animals to take care of. I mainly need it so that my mount is combat-worthy at higher levels. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />2) If you want my random thoughts to help you narrow it down, this one seems a bit too Eberron-ish (I seem to remember that there are tribes just like this in Eberron).  I don't really have tribes like this that I included, but the Northlands are vast, so I could work in something (and as long as you aren't attached to having whole tribes of dragon-blooded barbarians, a single barbarian who descended from a draconic liaison could absolutely definitely work)-- Ironically, this concept has its roots in Forgotten Realms...the barbies in Eberron have draconic totems, but not allies. However, I see your point, and since I desperately need to narrow options, I'll let Kuma cool his heels this time out.3) Psions suffer from the same issues I mentioned to Keia.  However, if you're willing to be hideously emotionally and physically scarred <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" />...I could work with you on a background that would allow a Seer.  Oh, and it involves the Far Realms, hence the '<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" />'-- Ooo...that sounds nifty. On the other hand, I'm not sure it stacks up with Aliyas or Meepo on the Funometer. It'd be better in a more horror-oriented game, perhaps... Another concept to simmer for now. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />4) The Changeling warlock could also work well.  Sounds like your character would probably be a loner, but there's information organisations and cabals that he/she could join too if you liked <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />-- Self-serving, but not as much a loner as the description makes it sound. The real trick is that she's a 'user' and that could cause some party friction. Plus, the constant duplicity could wind up being a hindrance to RP, as I think on the matter more. She'd work better in a high-level game, where there's more to protect, and more to protect it from.5) Kobolds are indeed cute--if you pick this one and you find something cool for kobolds in Races of the Dragon come Jaunary, I'll probably allow it...Meepo!</blockquote>-- I shall flag this as the main challenger to Aliyas then, because of the concepts listed, these two are by far my favorites. I shall let them duke it out in my head, watch the characters that others settle on, and pick the one that seems the best fit.Thanks for the feedback![/QUOTE]
