[QUOTE="Sephera, post: 3264504, member: 43922"] I'm currently playing a Sorceress, Level 7. In the course of the excellent home brew adventure Thunderfoot is running (is my nose brown?), my character has taken an unexpected turn. She is now part of a society of information gatherers. Torin, being the ever helpful husband that he is, always provides suggestions on where I should take my character. I was trying to get his help without giving away my character's information (since his character is not currently aware of my character's new developments). However, he keeps going back to things (classes, skills, feats, etc.) I had mentioned I was interested in and overloading me with information. I finally flat out told him that I thought working towards Spymaster would fit my character perfectly. His response was bringing out most of our D&D 3.5 books and showing me at least 8 different class suggestions. So, I'm going to try to avoid asking for his help in this character development. So here I am. Please be nice and don't overwhelm me. I'm still a newbie. This is my first campaign and my first character. So, my thoughts are to pick up levels of Rogue in preparation for becoming a Spymaster. (Of course, Complete Scoundrel could change everything here.) I'm trying to decide whether to advance one more level as Sorceress or go ahead and pick up Rogue. I was also thinking about using some of the classes Torin had pointed out as Cover Identities, but I'm not sure I understand that process much either. For example, I like the character image of a corsair, so he's been steering me towards Swashbuckler. I just don't feel Sephera would do that full time. It might be fun to pretend sometimes, but not be that all the time. This is part of why I think Spymaster would be a good fit. I did look at the Master of Masks Prestige Class as previewed on the WotC website and it looks like it could work well, too. There are too many possibilities! How do I figure out which is the right one? Yes, Thunderfoot, I know, you encourage the creation of my own Prestige Class and I can pull the things I like from several different sources as long as I keep it all balanced. I just have NO clue how to do that. :confused: -Sephera [/QUOTE]
