[QUOTE="Creamsteak, post: 1595713, member: 552"] I want to be able to play in a game where I can play an epic character, but not a dnd epic character. I want to be able to play the Monkey from The Journey West, or Herculese against the Gods. The Epic rules and deities and demigods really never satisfied these architypes for me. Seriously, although deities and demigods and the epic rules COULD make a character like the Monkey God, it would undoubtedly be weighted down in too many magic items and extranious bits... I also want to play something abnormally versitile in the dnd sense, like a 6th level gestalt or something. I have so many ideas that basically have to be 18th level plus (and I don't enjoy much past 12th-15th level) to be played, but could be Gestalts at 7th and 8th levels and be satisfactory. One is the (using complete warrior) swordsman that can both reflect spells (occult slayer) with his sword, and channel his own magical energy into his weapon, and can wear full plate without losing his casting (two other PrCs). I want my sword to explode in 20 feet when I charge it with fireball, and I want chain lightning bolts flying from my arrows with arcane archer... and all these other rediculously over-magiced video-gamy characters that I think could be so fun for combat... And I want to fight in coliseums against pit monsters and gladiators! Though, actually, I'm thinking of a really cool region to add to LEW containing an underground coliseum ruled by duergar that could make for a great bit of fun in that general direction. And... And... And I want to play in a mecha game... but I don't have the old battletech rules and don't like the d20 ones... And... um... I want to keep LEW going. And I want the Psionicle to continue. And I want another long-term game that lets me play someone as detailed as my old Lezard character that never got going... The list goes on and on. [/QUOTE]
