Yeah, let's chip in for those scrolls.

So each of us will pay 175+532.5=707.5gp

On the next level I will grab Reincarnation. But that spell is very inferior to revenance.

I'm not sure about the scrolls, I've pretty much spent all my coin and there's really nothing I can give up.

Here is my character so far, I need to choose animal companion, (MM2 is core right?) So I think I'll grab that fleshraker.

Was venomfire fine? I also need to memorize spells.

MM3. And to the combo of Fleshraker+Venomfire....

Danger Will Robinson! Danger!

:D

Nymph's Kiss is Exalted, right? Does that mean I shouldn't be Lawful Evil, like a typical little kobold bastard? :P
There's a reason he learns to doomspeak the level after my last pally level.  :D Full build thus far is Bard 4 / Pally (of freedom) 4 (with Devoted Performer, so I get both the awesomeness), then into seeker of the song. After that, I was planning on finding a nice gish with good BAB to finish off my levels (I think I decided I didn't care for the last 2 levels of Seeker.... can't remember...).

Plot-wise, originally, Flay's supposed to be of devilish past origins, but due to some messed up circumstances his life leads him to become a revolutionary. For those who care
[spoiler]In the original plot, the whole party were people banded together in an army-of-the-people type of thing, with flay being a support melee/rogue. He liked fire, and was all for the good fight. One part of the campaign occurred wherein I decided Flay somewhat snapped, and gained less of an opinion on people in general. He became cynical, frighteningly focused on his objectives as opposed to a "moral code", and renounced the thought of good for goods sake (Became CN with an eerie tilt on the good/evil axis). Whereas once he would have locked up a villainous character, afterwards (should said villain have been let live), he probably would have had no problem allowing someone to torture the villain (and later, doing it himself) if it meant people could get saved faster. His magic became darker and more based on curses and destroying opponents than bolstering allies, and though he retained his sense of duty and righteousness, he lost all sense of what lines were not to be crossed to make sure the weak were protected.[/spoiler]

So depending on how fast we level, and how much plot happens (or what your character worms into his head), shouldn't be a problem.

I'm rethinking the Seeker of the Song part, only because... I like bardic music, and need more of it... but damn does that skill focus suck to have. Anyone know of a better bardic music boosting gish class/melee class?

But it's not the tool's fault if you use it for something else and you fail utterly, such as trying to eat cereal with a butterknife, pounding nails with a screwdriver, blogging to voice your political opinions, and brushing your teeth with a hammer.

Dude, I hate how screwey all the paladin ACFs are. Ruby Rose Knight has a wicked replacement for me, but then so does Mystic Fire Knight, and both are thematically appropriate. I'ma spell-breaking, charisma munching, fire-loving, mean mother-fuck servant of god-knows-who.

Yep, hunting through handbooks for a proper set-up, will be done tonight easily.

Please tell me he's a diviner/communications expert. "Who has word from the guild."

For Flay, I'd suggest a couple of levels of Crusader or Warblade, and the Song of the White Raven feat. There's also that paladin prestige class that lets you keep your paladin abilities even if you "fall", but I forget the name... Shadowbane Inquisitor maybe?

Working on a backstory, but haven't had time to type it up yet. He'll basically be the "oracle" for his warren, which has been destroyed. (Edit: Now that I think about it, there's no reason it has to have been destroyed... Maybe he's handed over the reigns to an apprentice, while he's on "sabbatical".) He's a genius, and loves complicated traps, and the insane places the guild sends him are appealing to him, even if most of the (other?) guild members aren't.

Some day he plans to build the most elaborate and deadly "lair" the world has ever known and move his kobold warren there, and maybe pass onto Undeath himself so he can continue to look after them.

A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.

Look at the Heretic of the Faith feat. It saves you 10 levels of Greyguard.

Interesting backstory idea, Phaedrus.

Don't worry, I'll make the dungeons after the first one suitably odd and deadly.

Elemental Plane of Flesh, anyone? (Or a variant thereof.)
[spoiler]Fighter: "I can kill a guy in one turn."
Cleric: "I can kill a guy in half a turn."
Wizard: "I can kill a guy before my turn."
Bard: "I can get three idiots to kill guys for me."

On a strange note, would anyone be put out if we had a post about people or events we can spare a thought for, or if its within their creed, a prayer for? Just a random thought, but ... hells I wouldn't have known about either Archangels daughter or Saeomons niece if I didn't happen to be on these threads.
Sounds fine to me.
probably over on "Off-topic".
might want to put a little disclaimer in the first post.

This is the Min/Max board. We should be able to figure out a way to optimize the POWER OF PRAYER(TM) that doesn't involve "Pazuzu, Pazuzu, Pazuzu".
[/spoiler]

My final project for my film independent study course. It could do with a watching and critiquing

Oh yeah, Flay should check out Hellbred for a race. It sounds like it fits thematically.

So it looks like Human Cat Burglar 6 for me, as none of the Kitteh PrC's interest me for now.

But it's still more moral than using Flesh to Stone to help rebuild stone walls.  :devil

Read my mind; I'm sick of playing humans, but I've got a dwarf and a halfling going so far. Plus, y'know, this is kinda an important charrie.

Going with (shock) the soul version, despite the con penalty. I'll have a sheet in an hour or so if I'm not distracted by Black Books and LoZ: OoT.

Apparently you get a cookie for that.

Nice find.
+1. And a cookie to anyone involved with finding, and/or passing it on. Chocolate chip...
(I told them about the feat)

He's done, except for Items, and I'll help pitch in for scrolls and the like.

Introducing Ark, the Metal Man Menagerie
[spoiler]http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=237568[/spoiler]

Backstory:
[spoiler]
Towards the end of the last Great War, a group of evil halfling hartificers began experimenting with combinations of magic, technology, and nature in their bunker deep in the jungle.  Their intentions were to create an army of robotic monsters, completely under their control, and would turn the tide of battles to come in their favor. Ark was their first success.  Able to channel the powers of the beasts that surrounded the lab, Ark represented the meld of magic, nature, and technology the artificers sought.  
Though brutish, Ark was created with some intelligence and a streak of independence.  Realizing that his creators would never allow him freedom, he decided to escape.  And so, in a night filled with fire and the roar of magical beasts, Ark blew that taco stand.  
Now Ark's free (or so he thinks) and he wants to do some adventuring (because thats what every redblooded warforged does, right?)[/spoiler]

Same question as Stormcrow? also do you allow magic of incarnum?
Am I the only one who's mind was broken when they realized the implication of the existence of the aberration bloodline.
