The Seven Realms Await! (full)

[Rayex]

Neat!
So, as for the history etc, in what terms should I think, seeing as this is quite different from the "regular" stuffs regarding planes etc.

Alright, Celestials, as well as the "Other Team" generally show up in the Mortal Realm in one of three ways.

1) Summoned by spell.
2) Dispatched by a deity for some deific reason
3) Bound to guard some bastion of good or evil from the time when the gods walked and warred in the Mortal Realm. (A REALLY long time ago.) This last bunch is where most of the aasimars and tieflings come from.

Obvious questions are:
1) Was mom or dad the Celestial?
2) Was the child born in the Mortal Realm, or one of the Higher? (Realm of Glory, Realm of Spirits, Realm of Elemental Fury)
3) If born in the Higher Realms, what drew the child to the Mortal Realm?

Ok, this is what I've got in mind:
Oxana was born on one of the Higher planes (Realm of Glory perhaps?), lived with her mother, a priestess of <Insert Deity> (What deity is apropriate?) until she (the mother) was sent on a mission/quest to the Mortal Realm on behalf of her deity. When she did not return, Oxana was sent to retrieve her mother from the Mortal Realm. She found her mother but at the same time fell in love with the Mortal Realm. She never really felt at home where she was born, but that feeling is starting to come in this realm. Also thought of who her father is are staring to appear, and she might want to try and find out who he is. Not now, but perhaps sometime later.

Interesting indeed. Most celestials don't bother with actual priesthood, since they tend to pretty much exude healing and peace naturally. But that's not to say that Oxana's mother couldn't of.

I'd have to additionally ask what was keeping Oxana's mother in the Mortal Realm, that was resolved by by Oxana.

So far as the deity in question is concerned, possibly Aeos or Mahana, or possibly Delos, or Corinale, thumbnailed below.

Corinale, Lady of Beauty, the Singer, The Bringer of Joy
Divine Rank 12 (Intermediate Goddess)
Worshippers: Bards, Artists, Gnomes, Craftsmen
Align: Chaotic Good (NG/CG/CN)
Symbol: Dancing Woman, Lyre
Domains: Charm, Creation, Artifice
Favored Weapon: Rapier
Dogma: Create Beauty, spread Joy, inspire those who need a touch of grace within their lives.

Actually, priestess was the wrong word for me to use. Her mother was more of an agent for Corinale, a high ranking one as that.
A little "twist" to the story, if you'd like: She met her mother shortly after arriving on the Mortal Realm, but her mother was transformed. She was no longer the happy and good-spirited woman she used to be, that woman was gone. Instead Oxana met an angry and bitter woman. The light in her eyes was gone, and her naturally positive nature was subdued. However, she did not want to tell Oxana what had transpired while she was on the Mortal Realm. As a result, together with the fact that she fell in love with the Realm, Oxana set out to find out what had happened to her mother.

Sounds very interesting! It should be fun to see what transpired there. I'd guess a mix of emotional pain and some kind of pretty serious magic to suppress a celestial's very nature.

I really look forward to seeing what you come up with.

For all the players, if you want to discuss hidden aspects of the character, or anything else you don't want bruited about to the whole group, my email addy is berenaram@juno.com

Acid Crash:

I have two feats for you:
1: Vow of Poverty
2: Touch of Golden Ice

If you have these, you will be the uber-monk.

My book is unavailable where I'm at, so could you describe what those two feats do.

 

[Scotley]

Looks good so far. Though I think a 9 wisdom would still have the -1 mod. Since he hadn't achieved wis 10 and 0 yet.

I'll juggle that about a bit with Cha. I hope to have a more detailed build ready late this evening.

Okay, Touch of Golden Ice is the equivalent of dousing yourself in contact poison. It requires con 13+, but every unarmed strike affects the touch with the ravage "Golden Ice." I think it's something like a poison that's fort save dc 15 2d6 str/2d6 str.

Vow of povery requires the feat sacred vow, which gives you a +2 to diplomacy.

You can't have anything more than your clothes and a simple weapon (not a problem for a monk), but in return you become fricken insane. I don't have my book with me right now, so I can't list the abilities perfectly (maybe by tomorrow), but you start with +4 armor bonus, +1 armor every three levels, +1 to all natural weapons attack and damage per 4 levels, stat bonuses, everything.
