Wildwood Red in Tooth and Claw [OOC]

[Voadam]

Voidrazor,

Let's try out the power armor adept with what you have and consider it a +1 LA.

+4 str, +5 armor, 4 dr seems about right for a +1 LA consideration.

Its a tricky balance call.

Whether you go mechanoid or warforged we'll have the power armor integrated so you never need to take it off as the normal armor does. It seems to work as a unified armored power bot concept.

 

[Pyrex]

The more I look at what you're trying to do the more I have to nudge you towards Warforged again.

By taking the Adamantine Body (or, I suppose, Mithral Body) feat at 1st level you're a good part of the way there; with a great armor bonus and many of the immunities of the Construct type without any LA hit.

Pyrex and Dog45, both of your characters should be listed as alignment neutral. One of the house rules is that all characters are neutral unless something specifically grants them an alignment such as outsiders, paladins, some clerics, etc. Classes do not have alignment restrictions so no worries about losing barbarian rage.

Feel free to play them as wild and chaotic or as good as you want but these are characterizations and not game mechanics for normal characters in this game.

Kularian, as a tiefling I'd allow a feat to have the fiendish blood become more prominent and give you an evil descriptor, if you wanted.

 

[dog45]

Okay, not a problem. I'll fix it.

 

[Voadam]

Kularian, I have Aasimar and Tiefling and would allow a lot from there, but most of their feats are too harsh IMO with the ability damage restrictions and I'd modify them to make them more useable.

 

[Pyrex]

Must've missed that one. I'll straighten it out.

Yep, I'm definitely going with Warforged. Although the way I interpret Adamantine and Mithral Body the don't stack all that well with the powersuit abilities of Armor Adept. I'm sure I can find some other feat I like

Voadam - Is it OK to make the character large for and additional +1 LA? Either way I'll try to get NR4ZN done ASAP

Na, Victor's not evil in the least. Chaotic maybe, but definitely not evil. While his obliteration of demon-kind might drive him toward that route (doubtful) that's way off in the future, anyways.

For some reason, I'm not understanding what you mean. Ability damage restriction? *confusion* Are there outsider feats that you're talking of that I'm not aware of?

1 I was thinking of the custom feat as representing his blood as supernatural [Evil] and not as representing special training or anything to do with his personal morality. Just putting it out as an option I always thought should be available to planetouched and fiendish/celestial types.

2 Aasimar and Tiefling is a sourcebook by Green Ronin providing a number of feats for those with planar bloodlines. My memory of them is that they had an intro weak base heritage feat and then follow up ones with neat powers but crippled by activation requirements that cause the planetouched ability damage when they are used. The feats were flavorful but the drawbacks seemed to outweigh any benefits they gave and I'd modify them on a case by case basis.

My first reaction was to stick with normal warforged, but the concept of a big anime robot appeals to me so OK if we keep the medium suit stats instead of the DNW larger one.

However, I've decided I want to turn the DR into x/adamantine to simulate D&D constructs better. I don't really expect it to affect much mechanically as this is a low level, low metal campaign.

So use the warforged basic stats, make him size large, use 32 point buy for LA+2 and use the armor stats above with DR changed to construct adamantine type.

Sound good?
