[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 3159023, member: 1656"] I tried running a split-personality character once, in an evil intrigue game. He had levels in Bard, Rogue, and Cleric, from memory, and I was aiming for the Chameleon PrC. Basically, a change in personality would be a switch of the Chameleon focus, and I think it was going to supercede the normal mechanic - instead of changing a certain number of times per day consciously, he would change whenever the personality changed. Unfortunately, being an evil game, the other PCs thought he was trying to trick them for some reason, and cut his throat. So much for that idea! Anyway - the point is that I wasn't keeping multiple sets of levels running; he only had one set of levels, but when his priest personality wasn't dominant, he couldn't use his cleric spells... when his priest personality [i]was[/i] dominant, he didn't realise he had any ranks in Perform and wouldn't use any Bardic Music abilities, etc... except for one other personality who 'knew about' all the others, and could use any of his class abilities from any of them. It meant that most of the time he'd be below average in power for a PC of his ECL... Chameleon would have helped, but it was definitely more a 'concept' PC that a 'power' PC! -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
