I started thinking about The Green Knight from the old Arthurian tale with Sir Gawain. In this thread, I’d like to brainstorm a 3.5Ed warrior PC that does him a bit of homage.
For those unfamiliar, besides being green, the knight’s most memorable quality is that he survives a beheading challenge issued to Sir Gawain. Sir Gawain must then journey to the Green Knight’s castle to uphold his side of the challenge by submitting to a possible beheading himself.
My issues:
1) I recall that the rules have a Learnean template which would allow the character to survive beheading. But it’s a subset of the multiheaded template. That prereq introduces several elements not found in the inspirational character and more LAs than I’d want. So is there a Regenerative template or similar way to give a PC that power?
2) I’m trying to find what options exist for making the character green, not only in color, but also in the original’s implied connection to nature. IOW, how can I make this character “plantlike”? I know there’s Drift from the Geomancer PrCl, but that requires a spell casting background, and this is more of a warrior character. There’s also a plant template of some kind, and a plantlike race from Eberron. Are there other options?
Naming Fey characters
Sometime last year, I designed a 3.5Ed PC who was centered around taking those Fey Heitage feats plus a few other wildcards. I figured out most of the mechanical details, but- strangely for me- I’m having trouble settling on a good NAME. Everything I’ve come up with is too much of an inside...
