I'll allow Fractional BAB and Saves, because you should not be penalized for essentially building a custom class structure. You don't go around saying you're a Monk And an Ardent And an Elocater (If you even call yourself any of those things). You are the sum of all of your parts, not just the parts themselves. :)

I forgot to mention this before: No Multiclass penalties, because they are dumb. Paladins and Monks can multiclass freely (They effectively get the Knight Training or Monastic Training feat free). Monks are still lawful, though Eberron is full of morally-grey alignments. Paladins follow the same alignment restrictions as Monks- Their strict training and discipline requires them to uphold some form of code, but they are not necessarily beholden to Good. A LG Paladin can Smite Evil, a LE Paladin can Smite Good, and a LN Paladin can Smite Good or Evil, with one chosen at character creation as a Neutral cleric chooses to turn or rebuke undead.

I'm going to disallow most Tome stuff. While it's perfectly acceptable to play a fiendish adventurer in Eberron, those materials cross-reference quite a lot of other Tome-specific things. If you can make a good enough case for it I may allow it, but I'd like some background material for the character build first.

If I dip into Crusader for a few maneuvers and a couple of stances, can I use retraining to keep them "current" with my increasing initiator level? (So replace lower level ones with higher level ones as they become available)

I've been looking over the ToB a bit, and I see why everyone thinks it is the bees knees now (yes... I'm horribly behind...  :bigeye ). I think a couple of levels of crusader could add tremendously to the build I posted above, and I could easily fit it in. Hell, I might ditch the monk and maybe elocater crap entirely and just go Ardent/Crusader.

Edit: Probably something like this:

Crusader 4/Ardent 2
Feats: Practiced Manifester (Ardent), Psicrystal Affinity, EK: Share Pain, Stone Power, (Linked Power and Combat Reflexes if flaws allowed)
Powers: Vigor, Dimension Hop, Damp Power, Share Pain
Maneuvers and Stances: Thicket of Blades definitely. The others would depend on how I'm allowed to retrain to get higher level maneuvers as I level.


Alternatively:
Duskblade 3/Crusader 3 heading into Suel Arcanamach/Abjurant Champion

Would I be able to combine Channel Spell and crusader strikes?

Couple of questions about cheese:

1) Elder Evil Devotion?
2) Retraining of Elder Evil Devotion and/or Magical Location bonus feats?
3) Reflavoring of Elder Evil Devotion to other alignments/concepts?

Build sketch

Hailing from the frigid wastelands to the north (I don't know much about eberron, but there are always frigid northern wastelands in a fantasy setting), Libre Sulm emerged as the leader of his country after an unfortunate glacier incident which destroyed the city-state.  Together with his wife, Rubi Melles, he's setting out to find a new homeland for his people.

Libre:
Lesser Mechanitrix Factotum 6 with leadership

Rubi:
Cohort: lesser aasimar(? some planetouched without a cha penalty - magic-blooded mechantrix?) Spellthief 4

Pretty obviously playing for the battle couple trope, combined with the awesome spellthief/factotum synergy after level 5.  Followers are the off screen remnants of his country.

6th sounds good, though I'm a bit of a masochist and like the 1st level stuff. Heh.

Are flaws in? If so, I'd take noncombatant (-2 melee), and frail (-1 HP/Die)

I'm looking to play something like a warlock/wildmage (with practiced spellcaster offsetting the 3 CL penalty)/hellfire warlock (using shape soulmeld: strongheat vest to reduce ability damage taken by 1, unless you Rule that this == immunity to Con damage) mobile blaster with the obtain familiar feat (does share spells include SLA's or Invocations?), and I'm hoping for special dispensation in a few things:

  • I'd like to be able to replace one of my least invocations with the Wild Mage's reckless dweomer ability at Wild Mage 3, similar to how the sorcerer or wizard can lose any prepared spell or slot to use it.
  • I'd like to use the Humanoid Shape Dragonfire Adept lesser invocation at 6th, which grants the Change Shape special ability to any humanoid (I can only find small or medium humanoids) allowing me to turn into a small creature, say a whisper gnome or kobold, for the size bonuses. If you allow winged elves, I can fly at 50' (average) as an avariel. I can also get a swim speed with locathah, aquatic whatzit, and merfolk (but not water breathing without the Racial Emulation Feat, which grants subtypes, of which reptilian, dragonblood, and aquatic are all that I can find)
  • I'd like to get the morphic familiar Wizard ACF from RoE in place of my 3rd level feat (If I could trade it for, say, DR 1/ Cold Iron, that would be nice). This is for use with the Improved Familiar feat from the DMG/SRD (which I'll have to take at 12th). If share spells is in, how would this interact with the Humanoid Shape invocation? Might it absorb this ability?

HAHA, and a hellfire warlock! Weeeeell with friends like these, might not have such a terrible time being a freakin vampire.  :p

Alrighty, reading up on Eberron to come up with a badass vampire then! And thank you for pointing out the skills thing Venn; I'm gpoing to attach something to each side. Like the full BaB class gets barbarian skills, skill class gets bard skills, spellcasting bloodline gets sorcerer skills.... maybe? Or should they ALL get one set of skills, y'think?

Trying to decide whether to go skill vamp or melee vamp... looks like we have a ranged guy (warlock, yes?) with a bit of spellcasting, two dex-ish support, a druid/wizard, a defensive elocater, and a tank crusader. Will there be much need for a party face, Venn? I can go any of the three paths, leaning towards the non-spellcasting, but if Bowen's a fleshraker druid, maybe we'd need some sort of God?

Off to make food and watch Vampire Hunter D. The second one, of course...

If you're playing a vampire, read this thread starting from here.
I have to say that this is a really awesome idea. I wish I'd came up with it, and playing something your DM wishes he were playing is the best kind of optimization there is. Or so I've heard.  :lol

Omg, I love you so much right now! Cloaker beast ftw! Now, lemme see how I can get one...

Btw, where's the batswarm template? The freaking cloaker is amazing. Ability to cause fear-like conditions in an area around them? Minor shadow control as concealment/mirror image/shadow image? What vampire is ever without!  :D

Btw, where's the batswarm template?
Swarm-shifter template, applies to undead. Possibly Libris Mortis - it's in the Crystal Keep template list anyway.

Tome has an LA +0 vampire template that retains its Con score, and a paragon class for more standard vampire abilities.

For added awesomeness, combine with Bone Rider, which you can qualify for at 4th level - it's Tier 3, so it should be okay ("immune to harmful effects of touching or being in presence of mount" means you don't have to worry about swarm damage, and the lv4 abilities are awesome). At the level we're starting at you can get a cloaker with the Tome ghoul template (also LA +0) if you take Leadership, but not swarm-shifter.

If both of you take levels in paragon classes you can mesmerise people with your gaze while your cloak lashes out with a paralyzing venom before devouring them whole. :D


As for my other character idea...

Livewood warforged with a dryad inside is like the coolest idea ever.

Loooooks like the tome vamp is a probable no, unless Venn thinks it's be a nicer balance than the vamp monster class I noted. Which I would be totally fine with, seeing as I'm thinking a sorc, and the bloodpool's metamagic booster looks friggin amazing, if I can stay full of blood.

So, knowing my lv 6 feat is gonna be leadership, and I'm playing a vampire, I'm definitely going to go with a big charisma guy, party face and spellcaster. I was thinking of going sorcerer and eventually PrCing out from the Vampire class. Plus my cloak beast. If only there was a way to enhance a living breastplate! Hmmm, think think...

So, aside from the Tome of Necromancy stuff, how do you view racial requirements, like the Shadowcraft mage? I could make a nice but not broken mage for the party's control aspect, and that class sure has vamp potential, though there are plenty others if it's a no.

Whoa! Easy fellas. I do want you guys to play the kinds of characters you want to, but let's not go overboard here. I'm still new to DMing, so if I allow every bit of cheese in I'm going to have to work double-time to balance things out.

6th sounds good, though I'm a bit of a masochist and like the 1st level stuff. Heh.

Are flaws in? If so, I'd take noncombatant (-2 melee), and frail (-1 HP/Die)

I'm looking to play something like a warlock/wildmage (with practiced spellcaster offsetting the 3 CL penalty)/hellfire warlock (using shape soulmeld: strongheat vest to reduce ability damage taken by 1, unless you Rule that this == immunity to Con damage) mobile blaster with the obtain familiar feat (does share spells include SLA's or Invocations?), and I'm hoping for special dispensation in a few things:

  • I'd like to be able to replace one of my least invocations with the Wild Mage's reckless dweomer ability at Wild Mage 3, similar to how the sorcerer or wizard can lose any prepared spell or slot to use it.
  • I'd like to use the Humanoid Shape Dragonfire Adept lesser invocation at 6th, which grants the Change Shape special ability to any humanoid (I can only find small or medium humanoids) allowing me to turn into a small creature, say a whisper gnome or kobold, for the size bonuses. If you allow winged elves, I can fly at 50' (average) as an avariel. I can also get a swim speed with locathah, aquatic whatzit, and merfolk (but not water breathing without the Racial Emulation Feat, which grants subtypes, of which reptilian, dragonblood, and aquatic are all that I can find)
  • I'd like to get the morphic familiar Wizard ACF from RoE in place of my 3rd level feat (If I could trade it for, say, DR 1/ Cold Iron, that would be nice). This is for use with the Improved Familiar feat from the DMG/SRD (which I'll have to take at 12th). If share spells is in, how would this interact with the Humanoid Shape invocation? Might it absorb this ability?

I'll allow one flaw per character, and one trait if desired. I'm hoping to see these roleplayed as opposed to just free feats and bonuses.

As for warlock/wildmage, do note that the way Warlock is currently set up, adding to CL past 20 nets you an extra d6 every two levels, so that CL 22 will be 10d6, CL 24 is 11d6, and so on.

Strongheart vest is not immunity, but is detected by the forces behind the Hellfire as a cheat. Binding Naberius, however, is not.

Reckless Dweomer is Wild Mage level 9, not level 3. You may, however, swap out one of your least invocations, though you must wait 1d4 rounds between uses of the ability.

One of the issues with Humanoid Shape is that it allows the player to ignore Fell Flight/Draconic flight. I'll allow it since an equal-level Wizard could have gained much the same benefit from Alter Self, 3 levels earlier. If you manage to get your hands on some hefty planar lore, you might find out about Avariels, though they're rare even in Faerun. You can morph into a Raptoran but can only fly as well as one with your HD. You could try morphing into a Wings Aspect Dragonborn, but you may face the wrath of Bahamut for making a mockery of his Children. If you still take Fell Flight on top of Humanoid Shape, treat it as increasing the form's normal flight speed by 30 feet, and increasing maneuverability to Good, unless it is already Good or Perfect.

You can qualify for Morphic Familiar as a Changeling Warlock by sacrificing one point of DR. You need to take the Obtain Familiar feat (unless gaining levels in Wizard or Sorcerer), which you can do at level 3 anyway (using your base Warlock level to determine special abilities). However, it can only shift into the form of a normal wizard familiar, and will not allow it to shift into forms from the Improved Familiar feat. This still gives it tremendous versatility, especially if you're trying to hide a Winter Wolf. :P
Due to its inherently chaotic bodily composition, however, you can not share Humanoid Shape with your morphic familiar.

I had a dm who ruled that nautral spell would let arcane casters cats spells while polymorphed asnlong as they could speak.  Cloaker soon becamenmy favorite form.
Natural Spell remains for Druids/Wildshape Rangers.

@Prime: On the earlier concept, I have nothing against Mindspy, and could allow a template class similar to Flay's vampire class to transition a changeling into a Doppelganger (though a level of cabinet trickster does the job), or alternatively, I could create a Least or Lesser invocation that duplicates Detect Thoughts.

And sorry, no dryads or FoP this time. Maybe Dvati, but it depends on what else you would be doing with it.

@Flay: I'll take a closer look at the Tome vampire in a little bit and get back to you on it.

I'll address other issues in a little while. :)

What, and demons wouldn't prefer getting souls to getting life force?

 :P  :p


So, um, party alignment?


Hmm... I almost wonder if I shouldn't switch factotum and spellthief between cohort and main character.  Steal SLA is so awesome in a party of SLA users.

No rush, just considering it as an alternative in case my Lord Mytos' lv 6 sorc casting and his stats were a little higher powered than the campaign called for.

And, um, being a vamp, I'm evil. But being tht I'd like to be useful to the party, I'm lawful. I'm a noble, and my lord/king/whatever sends me as an agent of his will, perhaps. I'm assuming full hp at first level, and rolling after?

If I go with an Ardent/Crusader, would a psionic adaptation of the Jade Phoenix Mage be ok? I guess a psionic Ruby Knight Vindicator would work also, if we let expending psionic focus replace turn undead.

And would the Advanced Psionic Tattoo rules be ok? I mainly want a reusable tattoo of Share Pain. A "psionic" Eternal Wand (Eternal Dorje) would work too, if you'd prefer it.

Yeah, I was aware that they made it dumb instead of "+1d6 every odd caster level" as it should have been (My OCD says I have to ask for it to be at every odd CL. Sorry). So, if I take practiced spellcaster as a wild mage, I'd get +1d6 to caster levels, right?

Oops, you're right. The 1d4 rounds is sensible. It was student of chaos that I'd get at 3rd.

Well, since I'd have to have many ranks in knowledge (the planes), and I'm looking to take another DFA invocation to get better knowledges, I think I might know about avariels...hopefully ;)

Sensible, but what's this about a winter wolf?

@Prime: the Cabinet trickster gives you nasty things you can do to critters whose minds you're reading; daze, confuse, disrupt spell (No save!), and stun. Plus nets you DT at will by 5th, and the Change Shape ability. I really love that class's stuff. Paired with Mindspy (Instant detect thoughts) you're nasty against anything not well protected vs. mind affecting.

I always looking for more games, but I may be overextended as is if things actually get going in some of them.  If I did play, I'd want to fill a role in the group, like healer or something.
Deep in the tomb of indelible gloom, an angel waits to die.
High on the peak, where only fools seek, a dragon tried to get high.
To which one we go, well f*ck if I know, the point is to question why.

Hey, since mechantrixes are human-decended, do they qualify for able learner?

Oh, and do they qualify for dragonmarks?



You see, steal spell like abilities works well with spammable dragonmarks.  That is, if somebody picks up the mark of healing, I can use lesser restoration an unlimited amount of times per day, so our hellfire warlock doesn't need to dip binder.
