The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

I think that is an homage to Professor Xavier.

No, just an example taken to the silliest extreme.

Worthless class
Worthless race
Add a coughing disease (like every sickly old wizard)
Add a wheelchair (I've known characters that wanted to be parapalegic. Usually in point based games, but sometimes just to make trouble for everyone else.)

Hmm ... I take it bards as a class and elves as a race are out for you then frogman?

I wouldn't restrict your pc to a personality "type", though. Let it develop!

Isn't it spelled emphysema, btw?

Well, funnily enough, the reason I like the "stableboy" type is because it's flexible. I like being the guy that starts out not knowing his destination and discovers it along the way. Tough for party dynamics though.

Yes, yes. Emphysema. Puns are my strength, lung diseases are yours

Hmm ... I take it bards as a class and elves as a race are out for you then frogman?

Not in the least. I love them both. Well, bards at least. More I love the IDEA behind bards, and I may indeed play one here. But in a more combat focused game, you quickly learn that bards can't do much of anything. Kind of sad really.

Mycanid, how do you feel about the Martial Rogue and Racial Paragons? I'd love to be able to play one.

For the moment, neither of these are in the two books I mentioned as the basis of the pc's, so I won't include them in possibilities.

In general, outside of the specific context, I have thought that racial paragons were kind of neat. As for a martial rogue, why not just play a fighter/rogue or a barbarian/rogue? Or an aggressive rogue? Or a sneaky barbarian?

I personally like for the personality and play style to define the pc more than his class or prestige class, if you get my meaning....

Thing is I'd really like to play a rogue, but I don't like the Sneak Attack feature.

BTW Fru and hafrog ... I just tried to IM you both via your AIM accounts.

Simple. Then do not use it.

Hmm, I got nothing. :\
