[QUOTE="Ziggy, post: 1595367, member: 148"] Some comments: Mechanics: ---------- 1. Impossibly good stats. This is a 82 point character, far beyond any normal character. And it's impossible to have 19 STR and 20 INT at level 10, you only get a total of 2 advances from your base 18's. 2. Aasimar's don't get the extra human feat. 3. Adding "Scribe scroll" and "Brew Potion" to the cleric as house rule makes an already very strong class even stronger. But YMMV. 4. You should have (6+4)*4+(6+4)*4+(2+4)*5 = 110 skills points if she started as a ranger, or (2+4)*4 + (2+4)*4 + (6+4)*5 = 98 if she started as a cleric. You got 120 skill point, maybe you added the human (only) skill points here as well ? 5. You need to specify Craft, e.g. Craft Alchemy or Weaponsmithing 6. You forgot some skill synergies. Handle animal gives you +2 on Ride, Knowledge dungeoneering/geography/nature/planes gives you +2 on Survival in some situations. Knowledge religion gives you +2 on turn checks. Finally Survival gives you a +5 on Knowledge Nature. 7. You got far too many languages, you only get Common + Homeland (Unther) + 4 for INT = 6. You've got 11 langauges. 8. Your animal companion is far more powerful than normal. A ranger is limited to these animal companions: badger, camel, dire rat, dog, riding dog, eagler, haek, horse, owl, pony, snaek or wolf. This functions as the animal companion of a druid, but you only count half you Ranger levels (in your case 2). Thus you are limited to the basic animals (another level of Ranger could give it more HD or another animal). Thus no 10 HD lynx, which BTW is tougher than a dire lion which only have 8 HD). 9. Similar arguments for your horse and mule. A light warhorse (with 60ft speed) only have 3 HD, the same with your mule. Your warhorse is tougher than a paladin's warhorse, it only has 8 HD at 10th level. 10. Your chainmail is impossibly light. A "normal" elven chain is 20 lbs, and even a mithral shirt is 10 lbs. 11. Your longbow must be a +1 Holy bow, you cannot add Holy without a basic +1 enhacement. 12. You have equipment for: Armor: 13.000 (+for abnormal weight), Longbow: 18.000, Scimitars: 32.000 + 50.000, Various: 42.000 (+ some special items). That is 155.000 GP.

She got far better stats, better companions and more equipment. If she is to be used in a campaign she would totally overshadow any character made by the normal rules. History: ------- You've got a solid core here, but I lack an explanation of her Aasimar heritance. I would also like to see more why she is wandering, and how and when she became a ranger. .Ziggy [/QUOTE]
