[QUOTE="PrecociousApprentice, post: 4552522, member: 61449"] Those are both great sources for inspiration. Your concepts look great. I hadn't realized that I hadn't given explicit enough chargen info. 1st level, use a standard point buy of 22, and follow method 2 for ability scores, as well as all the the usual PHB chargen rules. For equipment, use the standard starting gold for a character, 100 gold and you start with normal cloths. Any race in the PHB, MM, of FRPG, reskinned to be human. Any class from the PHB or FRPG. I only have to core three books, but other WotC books are fine as well for material, I will just have to be brought up to speed on the rules for anything that I don't have. We will go strictly by the books for crunch, and fluff is totally up for grabs. I think that reskinning is really cool. Any concept that you can overlay on top of the rules is great. Want a cleric that wields a sword, but don't want to spend a feat to become proficient? Describe a mace as a sword, but use only rules that pertain to a mace. Want a wizard that uses timestop right out of the gait? Reskin the Sleep sell as a time vortex that slows/stops enemies. Want a wizard that summons an elemental? Try flaming sphere with a different description. You can do this on the fly or get a set of premade ideas. Swashbuckler? Rogue or ranger. Get creative, use the rulebooks for crunch, but let the fluff be anything that fits. Here is an example I posted for another thread for inspiration. You don't need to rewrite the PHB to reskin though. Name the powers as normally in the OC thread, describe them any way that works in the IC thread.
