Deadman - i was watching cartoons this morning..
« on: January 17, 2009, 06:51:52 PM »
DC comics, Deadman.

making a CO version.. not that im really qualified to do so..


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
from a wiki entry.

Powers and Abilities

Being a ghost, Deadman is granted intangibility, invisibility, and flight. He also can possess any sentient being.

while alive he was a circus performer, specificlly the trapeze.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


the being a ghost part sucks.. will have to buy off some LA. and scale it back as much as possible..

i see 5 items to address.

intangible
invisible
flight
possesion
circus flavor

of these ghost takes care of 3 easily.

flavor to taste... a lvl of expert or any dex class pretty much covers that.. giving it a whole lvl is probably abit much..

that leaves Possesion/ possesion of things that cant normally be posseed, bypassing protections, not getting rebuked/turned/destroyed. and mitigating the LA/CR

how do we pimp it? the real trick here is that Deadman is a good guy. so his possesion gig needs to not be a problem.

Bovd has an variant rule for fiends w/ Possesion as an ability...

so, is there an established best method for possesing or the like? (not to be confused with domination, the two creatures should merge)

i looked at the keeps index, i dont see anything in there to help...

Might be worth looking into due to the lower LA :)

what really struck me with that is pixie.. the Cha bonus to AC.

And a lot of added LA :P

If you want Charisma to AC though, there's a base class in Dragon Compendium, Battle Dancer IIRC (should fit the circus theme, maybe with some reflavoring), that grants it at level 1.
Otherwise a Chaos Monk (Thaltors are chaotic after all) dip with a single feat should do it as well.

Why is possession a problem? Use the ghost's Malevolence ability.
