Hello my brilliant friends! I am in need of your expert opinions and input
So I have been inspired recently to create a Flesh Golem.
In my pondering I started thinking back to some of the other RPG's I used to play.. Rifts/WhiteWolf etc etc. Some of my favorite characters were somewhat crazy. Now thinking of DnD I havent really seen insanity used in a good way yet imo. Pretty much the only thing that happens in DnD when you go insane is you attack your party
The concept:
A Flesh Golem, that has multiple personalitys. To be specific, the personalitys of the corpse's that he was made from. So what I have atm is 3 personality types. Each one differs greatly from the other, good/neutral/evil.
I plan on having each personality being brought on by some sort of trigger. Maybe a word or phrase, being damaged, hit by a spell etc. etc.
Personalitys:
1. hero type - very helpful and trustworthy.
2. coward - sneaky, liar, manipulative.
3. blood thirsty - battle hungry, instigator, loud mouth
I would like to accomplish a cohesive character. Although I want eatch personality different, and plan to play them in a variety of ways, I need to create something formidable.
Im thinking Chameleon so that I can mimic different classes. However Im very open to a different build completely that kicks ass... I was thinking a FoP build, but it wouldnt really sync with the multi-personality thing I think.
Also kicking around a telflammar shadowlord idea.
Keeping in mind that his CHR starts at 3, and has a -6 int, -2 dex, +2 str. But I like the RP value here so Im looking past his crappy stats.
My builds thus far is:
1. FleshGolem 3/ incarnate construct -2 = ECL:1 + Warlock 4/Binder 1/Ur-Priest 2/Chameleon 2/Eldritch Disciple 8/Hellfire Warlock 2
2. FleshGolem 3/ incarnate construct -2 = ECL:1 + Warlock9/Mindbender1/Fiend of Possession6/ xx 3
3. FleshGolem 3/ incarnate construct -2 = ECL:1 + Swordsage 7/Telflammar Shadowlord 4/Swordsage +1/ xx 7
Basically I am REALLY open to any build ideas that you all think would work for my fleshgolem.
Key things:
No psionics. Must be somewhat versatile because I will be playing in 3 diff styles. The more bad ass the better
