The DM reserves the right to smite me if I pick something rediculous and go walking around the world as it. (Aka lets say an archon or an incubus ect) I know from experience this DM has many NPC's that are always on the look out for "interesting" creatures or people to... acquire? Heheh XP
A few key things I was working towards.....
1. I want to "try" and strike a balance between 5/10 optimized and 10/10 optimized as far as race/templates go. That way it is less likely for my DM to smack me later.
2. I definately want to have some type of Outsider type for polymorph/alter self shinanigans.
3. I like versitility and immunites more than raw power.
4. Following the theme of versitility, my class will probobly be Factotum 8/Chameleon 10/ X 2 (Note DM houseruled Able Learner is available to any race.)
Right now I haven't found a base race that I like yet, but I have found 3 templates I am discussing with my DM.
The Darkshadow Phantom!
Dark template from Tome of Magic (+1 LA)
Shadow template from Lords of Madness (+2 LA) Not sure if this is a remake of the Dark template though.
Phantom template from MM5. (LA 0) LA 0 for incorperability at will?
