[QUOTE="MoonSong, post: 6930526, member: 6689464"] Ok, going back I see I said "awesomely inhuman" instead of "cool monster", everything else was clarifying? Well I said not an actual build, this description is a character that is the sum of all characters I want to play that aren't minstrels, rogues or healbots. If this character is playable I get to play all others I want to play even if I don't play this one in particular. Well, those are fine if you want them, but I don't play them or am interested on playing them. Half-orc is about my limit, and only once with a huge charisma and playing against type. Deep down I have the visceral feeling of them being monsters and I don't play them. But it is, I just describe the poster child, the most over the top of the bunch, instead of always describing the same twelve or so character archetypes I want to play. Even if I don't get to play that one it opens the door to all others. I said I wasn't so interested on repeating the combo, but individual spells -grease, unseen servant, tenser's, control rope', Tasha's - are staples, things I'm used to have in hand. All the interesting effects locked away. Ok, my fault. Sorry -though somebody else in the thread brought it out-. "Refluff the wizard" has been a constant way other posters have swiftly tried to dismiss what I want/need. So it's been drilled into my mind. Well, this specific combo reflects all individual needs I have out of the system. Save this cheerleader, save the world. Make this exact PC playable, and I get all of the other PCs I want to play playable, even if I never play this particular combo -but again if it is playable I might do so in the right campaign-. The core all of them share: Familiar -something I need-, strictly/mostly non-combat magic, access to the good utility spells so I can play around with them, and no books or other external stuff as a source of power.
