Greetings, all. My group's about to try something new, specifically Eberron (we're more FR/homebrew), and I was wandering around the Eberron books looking for interesting and I came across the daelkyr half-blood. I really like the concept, but mechanically it's reminding me of the CW samurai. So I came here for help.
* The premise: a daelkyr half-blood that is on a holy war against other aberrations, and who is really good at killing them.
* What I would like: to use symbionts in pursuit of the above
* The problem: symbionts... well... suck.
* What I want from you: EITHER help making symbionts actually effective (including pointing me to 3rd party resources) OR help creating an aberration-themed aberration-killer who's effective
* Party: total of five PC's, starting at level 5, no one's come up with classes yet, so any role is open
* Books: if WotC printed it, I own it
Now, to prove I've done my homework:
Obviously, Impure Prince is right up this character's alley. Unfortunately, it runs into the problem with symbionts being useless. And if I can't get effective symbionts, it's not all that attractive. Likewise, another obvious choices, Keeper of the Cerulean Sign, is out because I'm an aberration through race. I'll tweak things if I really have to, but I'd prefer to stay RAW-legal.
Another option would be warlock with the feat aberration banemagic. I play a lot of warlocks, though (after all, I wrote the handbook, and yes, I'll get it ported over here), and would prefer to play something else this time.
So with that, I turn it over to your collected wisdom. Anyone have any ideas?
