Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil. ( CLOSED. )

Lol, hero4hire, don't feel bad, I've not heard of Neurotic's race/class combos before either. And for what it's worth, Mystra's Runic Blade, whatever it is, probably goes against TwistedMindInc's "Any non-setting WotC" criteria too.

But Neurotic, you don't like your original Deepwarden or Dwarven Defender idea anymore? Those are cool classes, and they fit right in with the GM's rules. As long as you pick a valid race that is.

From what I can tell it is a home-made class posted on the net.

at 6 skill points per level, full base attack and all of it's weird abilities it seemed kinda broken. :\

Hi, can I get in? Sorry I'm late.
Devorch Templedon, Human Binder

Devorch was orphaned at a young age. He wandered the world as a homeless waif until a kind elderly man to pity on him and took him in.

As it turned out, the old man had been a binder in his day, and he wanted to pass his arts down to his adpted son. Devorch learned quickly, and when his benefactor died, Devorch left to wander the world.

He soon learned the world was not kind to binders. At first, he naively revealed his identity, but after clerics of Pelor roused the town into a mob to excise him, he learned better. Many churches have branded him and his ilk anathema. He wants to fight the evil to clear his name, so he can live in peace...for an adventurer, that is.

EDIT: The old man originally fought the at the temple. I'm not changing the background because Devorch doesn't know this. The precursor's name was John Crysallis. He, too, thought he could lift the stigma on binders...but he was wrong.

I think the deadline for submissins is wednesday the 15th.

Submissions are supposed to have some sort of tie to the original adventurers who fell the temple.(It helps to read the submission guidelindes especially the lines in Bold ) So you might want the Binder who adopted him to be an ex-adventurer who was in the party or somesuch.

Maybe because I haven't played online a lot, but it seems like everyone is always trying to outdo each other with some radically different race/class combo. What happened to old-school D&D? Is it just dead now? Is a half-elf rogue a bad choice because it's been done before? Isn't it all about role-playing and not playing a role?

hehe.. just wonder what you will say, and I mean no offense by my statement, but I honestly don't know what a "binder" is, or some of these other classes/races you guys are spouting off. Perhaps all the more reason my role playing will be more believable and interesting to the DM and group.

My curiosity is sparked.

Yeah I felt a little out there when I picked "Human Cleric" as my concept

Nothing wrong with playing an unusual class or race, but such things should be fairly rare.

Once they become the norm they become less special.

I like playing an odd character every now and then! and Honestly I have been meaning to put the odd classes to a test one day.

Could a Totemist, Binder, Beguiler and Warblade do as well in a published module as a Cleric, Mage, Rogue and Fighter?

I wonder....

 

[Borson]

hehe, you obviously know what I mean... LOL

BTW, what are Totemist, Binder, Beguiler and Warblade anyway? It isn't listed in my manuals.

They are all from various WOTC books

Totemist is from Magic of Incarnum they channel Magical Beast Totems into thier chakras to weird stuff

Binder is from Tome of Magic they Bind spirits to do weird stuff

Beguiler is from Players Handbook II they are roguish spellcasters who use sneaky spells

Warblade is from Tome of Battle they are warriors who get Martial Manevers in combat

In the end I want to try either

a halfling druid 2/totemist 2
or
sword sage/x

I will figure it out by then

Dwarf

No, I really don't have anything against playing ordinary dwarf with same classes But this one is one I actually had played for whooping one session and I would bother our GM more for some things that my GM allowed It all binds to the story and after several test fights and non-combat encounters we felt it well balanced until such time I break the set limitations

Problem is this: ordinary dwarf would have much less incentive to be so much alone, even less to know some of the minerals and materials involved and less then that ties to elemental plane. So, first, much of the history should be rewritten and I'm doing this from work. I get about 15 min before and as much afterwork to do private stuff with coffee break here and there. Second, knowing stuff that elemental dwarf born and raised in elemental plane would strain the story and finally, psychology of regular dwarves tends toward greed, gold and gems being valued. As oposed to Ebon who is mineral genasi.

"Mineral Genasi grow up on a plane where the entire collected treasury of the Merkhant sect pales in comparison to the riches littering the ground within a mile's radius from their childhood kip. As such they really don't understand the notion of hoarding wealth, "...
