Nothing wrong with a Neutral/Evil Solar far as I`m concerned. You`ll all start out with no memories of anything happening prior to the beginning of the campaign, so any angelic moral code/ethics would go out the window with everything else... And you wont lose your powers to some god`s whims, you`re empowered by your own inner strength (Dont remember what the fluff says about this, but that`s how I`m handling it).
Daedroth:
I love the part about being a blacksmith in a Iron Golem body. Will be interesting to see how you play that out with the amnesia. Frankenstein`s Monster had a nice twist to it... It discovered an affinity for certain tasks as it went along, like playing the flute.

Swim: +5
Yeeeah, right. I would love to see 1ton of solid steel going for a morning swim. On the upside, you dont need to breath, so you can just walk, I guess... Unless its bottomless, ofcourse.
Siper:
Are you sure you did the math correctly on your stats? I keep getting 30p.
Handwave it. Planescape did it.
And I have new candidates!
Tsochar is still on the table.
Daelkyr: MuahahahahaHAHAHAAHAHAHA! The Surgeon from hell. I can spawn Alex Mercer for the hell of it. Point of fact, that's probably the character motivation right there: Why the hell not?
Awakened Basilisk: BFC! I shoot lazor beamsz out of my eyes, people suffer dex damage and collapse! What's not to love? Walking debuff machine. Obviously, since you people have eyes, I'll take carefull gaze to avoid mezzing you.
Gray Shiver Fear the Bug Lich! FEAR HIS FUZZY BODY! Basically a Sorc. But it's a spider living in the skull of a lich!
Also this:QuoteIn addition, if it ever meets the ones who destroyed the lich to which its skull belonged, it must seek their doom! Long convoluted overcomplicated plans spanning years or more are optional to achieve this.
Basilisk seems like a one-trick pony... Looking at stuff has to get boring in the long run.
Of those, I`d say Daelkyr, tsochar, or Grey Shiver in order of awesomeness.

Sorry for the long response time, real life...
Those are all cool.
And no need for backstories, I`m working on a more intricate campaign idea... Hint: No need for backstories, you`ll all start out with complete amnesia. So how`s everyone`s char sheets coming along?

EDIT: More questions!
How do you feel about homebrewed martial disciplines?
How do you feel about flaws from Dragon Mag?
Bard ACF is cool.
As for homebrew and Dragon Mag, I`d have to take it on a case by case basis. Can you link me to the martial discipline you`re interested in, and post the flaws?

A Fair warning though: Tsochar are hungry for power. They also steal the spells of anyone they bodysnatch. That last one could be a doozy. Granted, I can't bypass FoM. Osle generally lets grapples bypass it at 8HD or something similar, not sure why that isn't here... Ah well, I can just SoD and molest infest the paralyzed/Blinded/Stunned/Entangled guy.
FoM = Freedom of Movement? SoD?
I`m not too worried about you stealing spells, you only get what I choose to give you anyway. Also:
Quote
Tsochar cannot regain spells or spell slots it expends from the dead character’s spellcasting ability.
As for getting access to sodomy patients, you could always play a Sorc specializing in disabling.

Siper: I`m a big fan of the Firre, personally. A fiery, heavenly bard. Awesome.
Wrex: I say Tsochar. Makes for a totally different playing style, with all the disposable meatshields walking around. I know it states Arcane/Divine, but if you wanna play a Totemist, I`d let you stack that with your racial progression instead.
Any suggestions for why such a rag-tag band would be travelling together? I`m not too rigid on your alignment matching the standard for your race, might make everyone`s life easier if you agree on going good or evil, both for story purposes, and RP. Just a suggestion, though.

Char creation rules are here, if I forgot anything, ask. Sorry about the delay, real life got in the way.
Starting ECL 1, I said 3 earlier because of how hard it is to create fun monsters on lvl 1. Osle`s stuff solves that, so you`ll start out... Weak.
32point buy and 2 flaws, since stat placement and feats are fun, and the only way to personalize your build on early levels...
Siper: That setup is fine. If anyone else wants to use his method instead of Myth-Weavers, feel free. Assuming that`s okay with him, ofcourse.

[D&D 3.5] Dungeoncrawling Misfits / Rules and stuff
« on: June 05, 2012, 11:01:54 PM »
I`ll try and keep an up to date collection of houserules and stuff here. If anything is missing or unclear, ask.
Char creation rules:
Starting level 1. 150gp starting gold, 32point buy, 2 flaws, 1 trait, max HP first level, average after that (So for d8, you get 4.5hp, rounded down). If anyone has their eyes on a template, ask in the OOC thread or via PM. Most likely it will be OK, and we`ll work it into your racial progression on ECL 2. Inherited templates must be on your sheet before we start the game, acquired templates you can gain in-game if the opportunity arises. Buyoff rules apply.

Board is up!
For now, we`ll use this as a planning thread. Figure out your party roles, feedback on the char creation rules, etc. Also, if everyone could figure out what they actually want to play (some of you threw out 2-3 different monsters, and others havent hinted at what they want to play yet), and post here for feedback, excellent.
We`ll be off in no time!
Bags of Tricks should be mandatory for any self-respecting skill-monkey.
New rules, Osle`s stuff removes the need for funky houseruling. I`ll get them up later today. For now, you can safely ignore the first post in the old thread. No free LA, but if you have something you desperately want, I`m sure we can work out some way for you to get it on 2nd ECL. We could always play it out like you already were a templated version of your base species, and develop those abilities in the same way as you do your racial stuff. UA buyoff rules would still apply, but dont bring out any stupid stuff, there wont be any "feral, mineral warrior iron golems" in this game.
I`m really not all that experienced DM`ing, I`m usually the min\maxer
giving the DM high blood pressure (Might we why I`m such a sceptic)... For now, I`ll have to say no, but by the time Wrex gets his casting, I might have reconsidered, if there`s not already too many bumps in the road. So I guess that`s a maybe, but dont plan on it.
If I missed a question in the old thread, repost here please.

Does the free LA still apply if we use monster classes? I was going to go Tsochar 3 and grab a template on top of that, if it still applies

QuoteI`d rather not have any Tier 1 classes involved... Pretty hard to challenge on higher levels. Sorc is fine, but I`m not that familiar with Psionics. So Sorc, or something else with casting. Beguiler, Dread Necro, Bard, Warmage etc. Beguiler would supplement the innate deceitfulness of your race quite well, I think.
At that low level the Tiers are somewhat reversed, (Tier 1 are pretty weak at that level), and at the speed of a forum game I think that we won't play at high levels on Tier 1 can break the game.

Also, the racial class allows me to effortlessly multiclass into sorc or wizard, as it lets me count Tsochar levels as arcane spellcasting levels for most purposes (Spells gained, CL, and so forth). Would you be willing to let me apply it to psionics instead? Psionics seem much more in keeping with what a Tsochar would do, much in the same way that mindflayers get Sorc levels but are really suposed to have Psion levels.

You don't really need disable devide when simply smashing the mechanism or ripping a door off it's hinges, poison trap and all, works perfectly fine.
If you guys are up for the challenge, I`m game. Would make for some interesting situations, I`m sure... I guess Daedroth`s Sherman (Tank) can go first, and hope for the best.

Oslecamo's Improved Monster Classes / Re: Tsochar
« on: June 04, 2012, 02:17:43 AM »
If it multiclasses for an arcane/divine class it can count Tsochar levels as levels of that class for purposes of CL and for the purposes of learning new spells and getting new spell slots. So for example, a Tsochar 3 who took 1 level of sorcerer could choose to have CL 4, get 3 2nd level spell slots, 1 1st level spell slot, 1 2nd level spell known and 1 0th level spell known. It wouldn't get the spell knowns and spell slots of a sorcerer 3 however. It would get the familiar ability, but succubus levels wouldn't count for it.
This part might need revision...

5 players, so I guess I`m stuck going through with this. 
I`ll ask for a board to be set up, but there`s a few kinks we`ll need to work out before we can start. Mainly, traps and why such a oddball band of creatures are working together. We might have to do some houseruling for traps (I`m thinking someone might get Disable Device on their list), and you guys can work out for yourself your background as a party. Doesnt have to make perfect sense or be greatly expanded upon, this will be a pretty relaxed campaign. Outcasts? Greedy and turned to adventuring? Arcane experiments?
I`ll get char-creation rules and stuff up when we get a board.

Oslecamo's Improved Monster Classes / Re: Half Illithid
« on: May 31, 2012, 12:35:07 PM »
The extract ability of this half-breed seems more powerful than that of its full-fledged counterpart. Shouldn't they both require an extra grapple-check for the extraction?
Quote
Extract (Ex): A mind flayer of 7th level or higher that begins its turn with all four tentacles attached and makes a successful grapple check automatically extracts the opponent’s brain, instantly killing that creature (unless it has multiple brains or can function without its brain).
Quote
Extract: When a third level Half-illithid mantains its hold with all four tentacles for 1 full round, it automatically extracts the creature's brain at the beggining of its next turn, Instantly killing that creature.

I didnt know about Osle`s work, I`ll have to look into that...
And yes, monsters with ECL <= 4 (including LA +1), although stuff like the awesome Ambush Drake, which has a racial progression, is fine too.
EDIT: I`ve looked over the OIMC stuff, and it looks pretty good. They actually solve the only dilemma I had when I decided to DM, start at lvl1, or play with fun races. Or, I dont see how we`d solve the trapfinding aspect of dungeoneering... Not many skillmonkeys there at a low lvl, unless someone wants to get creative.

I`m looking to get back into D&D, and seeing as I`m currently stuck in a smalltown in Australia that barely has a name (And very poor internet), PbP seems the way to go.
I`m considering running a one-off dungeoncrawl from the Dungeon Crawl Classics series, with monsters as the PC`s, just for some variety. Why a bunch of sprites, goblinoids, and other misfits would choose to band up together and go dungeoneering, is a worry for another day... Consider this a chance to try out that Nixie Dread Necro you always had floating around in the back of your head, or an antromorphic bahleen-whale barbarian.
This will just be a one-shot for now, but if it turns out to be good fun, I`m not opposed to keeping the adventure going.
Char creation rules: Tier 3 classes, any races\templates\what have you (As long as its not something stupidly broken), and if its something that isnt supposed to be a PC class, but looks like serious fun, ask. Cohort races, LA -, awakened animals... I realize this likely wont turn out very balanced, but as long as all the players are off a roughly equal power level, happy days.
Starting ECL will be 3, but everyone gets 1LA for free, and if we keep going, LA buyoff rules apply. Also, HD can be switched for LA, but this will cost you all BAB, saves, feats etc gained from the removed HD (But you keep all your racial abilities). Example: An Antro Baleen whale normally has 3HD, but under my houserules it can turn 1HD into 1LA (Which is a freebee), and start out with 2HD Monstrous Humanoid, and 1lvl Barbarian. The reason for the free LA, is to encourage people to choose more interesting races without worrying about missing class levels, and if we decide to keep going, it makes it alot easier to buy off your remaining LA.
If this sounds like your cup of tea, please post interest, plus a rough outline of what you`d like to play. No lengthy backgrounds or tedious builds for now, just a race, class, and imagined party role. Dont worry overly much about alignment. Devils, angels, or something between, if you can squeeze it into ECL3 (Or it has a racial progression), you`re good to go.
