[Recruitment] ECL 9 (Demunched)FR Underdogs Campaign

Any space left

Is there any space left?

I have 4 ideas - 1. A psion/crystal crafter (from WotC's web site). Probably a Gensai.
2. An elven cleric of Corellan - primarily an archer type
3. An elven fleet-runner of Elhonna - that PrC just seems kinda nifty....
4. A duelist/thief-taker type character - this would require the use of Quintessential fighter, probably. Focused on hunting down and catching thieves and criminals.

If there is space, would any one of those fit in better with the campaign?

Reapersaurus: I am considering what do do about the Contender.

Dalamar: Sorry, but being hideous comes with the territory when you are an oozemaster. Kinda like when you are a half-dragon, 1/4 orc, 1/4 human fighter, but moreso.

Fefnir: Nice Backstory!

 

[Fenrir]

As for me, I have been playing for seven years, almost exclusively as a DM. I know the Realms like the back of my hand, and am well versed in countless gaming systems. My current group, Fenrir's Pack, is an online troupe that spreads throughout the whole country, from Detroit to Kentucky to Seattle and Texas. We have been together for a year and a half, and our primary campaign, Shadows of the Past, is set in the Forgotten Realms. My style, if you've ever read Robin's Laws to Good Gamemastering, is closest to "The Storyteller." I like to tell a good, communal story and my first priority as a participant in a game is to contribute to that story in the best way I can. Still, I like the occasional combat, and I believe that any good story needs some action to move things along.

My email address is lieutenantfifo@hotmail.com. Any other questions, let me know.

Well, either Akharos is hideous... or he's beautiful in such a unique way, none can begin to understand it.

What does that have to do with force of personality?
Besides, if it's a direct change to penalty to checks, then I'm punished double when considered to the previous (in checks).

Well, I'll then try to cook up a shifter. Maybe later today, we'll see.

Reaper- sorry, I didn't mean to condemn you.

To me, the Contender seems like a powerful prestige class because of the Strength powers combined with the spellasting.

Thanks.

For a comparison, currently there are already 2 characters that can (almost) out-Strength Ubaar:
garyh's half-celestial AND the 'weak' wizard that can Polymorph himself.
And Ubaar's whole schtick is being the strongest he possibly can be (because doesn't everyone know that strength is the most important thing in the world? The stronger you are, the closer to God you are )

So I don't know how far I'd go in assuming that the Contender's abilities make him overpowering from even solely a Strength perspective.

It actually is kind of disappointing that simply one spell (polymorph) and 3 levels worth of Template (half-celestial) can keep up with Ubaar, a PC who's sole original purpose was to try and see how UBER of STR I could get in 3E.

So I try to get into mechanics that help the roleplaying (the Thunderbeast domain angle), and add at least one combat element - that of a wrestler (like his diety).

Not only are oozes hideous, but they are pliable and virtually not self-aware (Cha 1, Wis 1, Int --). A character who seeks to move closer and closer to becoming a pile of goo is going to have bad charisma no matter how you define it.

 

[Dalamar]

When you put it that way, I can understand it. I don't think I've ever looked the stats for any ooze, so I didn't know that.

ROFL!
Good line.

BTW: what's the motivation for a PC to become "like unto a pile of goo"?
In other words, what's the motivation of a PC that takes the oozemaster prestige class?

DM_Matt, if there are too many players for your liking, I will leave so some others can play too...
