Current sheet, still quite WIP.

That's the wrong link, Osle. Now I'm just all the more intrigued by the mystery! :D

Ups, my bad. Fixed the link, here is is again. Hopefully I'll be able to finish it between today and tomorrow.

Also The Nameless sounds damn good to me! :D

I'll have to read over the Fallen. Not sure how well Yuan-ti would fit with the fallen, they are monstrous humanoids(rather than Outsiders-Demons & Devils). Might go the suggested route in the Yuan-Ti class post and eventually take cleric. Progression would most likely be Yuan Ti 7(levels 1 through 7)/Cleric 13(From Level 8 on up). Though with the spellcasting penalities for not worshiping The Dark God, it might not be a good idea. (I know he can follow an ideal, but I perfer to have my clerics worship deities.) And also the Yuan-Ti would probably be Chaotic Evil(Smart). But it's seeming as though Yuan-Ti might not be a good fit for this campaign, but still open to the idea. How would a Yuan-ti cleric work in this world.

And if not yuan-ti I still have plenty of ideas.

Human Cleric of The Dark God

Sun Elf Generalist, Liscenced Magi,

Sniper of some type(Wood Elf, older human(grizzled military vet) ).

Dread Necromancer.

Maybe even the cliched gnome that just loves fire.

But if we could make a Yuan-Ti Abomination Cleric work, I think that'd be fairly cool.

QFE for SirP.

And The Nameless sounds good to me!  :D

Oh you guys.   :p

So, what do we have in our party so far?  Give me vague descriptions at least so I have more of an idea of where to go with my Spellshaper (And so ShadowViper can help narrow his list down).

Because he is the only god, the Dark God's worshiper alignment restrictions are more relaxed (I'll edit this into his writeup).  So CE is fine in that respect.  However, I tend not to like CE PCs just because they don't usually play well on a team, at the very least because they tend to piss off the non-CE team members.  NE is much more team-friendly.

Jack, I just noticed (while splitting threads) your question about a Warlock's EB and Quicken SLA.  I've just checked out Tome of Magic and for some reason there's no Quicken Su feat... I'll put into the houserules that EB still counts as an SLA for feat purposes.

Osle, where's Skaven posted?

EDIT: Hey Jack! Ask, and ye shall receive.  It may need some tweaks, but there's your starting point.

I guess what I'm really trying to figure out is, how well would a Yuan-ti fit into the setting? How many Yuan-Ti are there already? Is he like the only one in the city? Or would he be part of a secret organization of other Yuan-Ti? If he were to follow another deity, which one would it be?(most settings seem to have different Yuan-Ti deities). I'm just getting the feeling that a full-blown Yuan-Ti might not be the best idea for this campaign.

Oh and can everyone summarize their party roles please?

My character is  a complex  mix of controller and skill monkey. Doll Judgement allows me to spread puppets around the battlefield to hinder enemies while Plain History gives me some area debuff attacks and counters to further help my allies.

I can also buff the party skill checks and damage rolls against oponents with knowledge checks and still have leftover skill points to be the party face.

I can also beat up people with books relatively decently if the going gets tough.

My current build is pretty melee-intensive, and would be able to dish out a lot of damage via a large amount of natural attacks and avoid a lot of attacks from opponents. However, other than a few low level illusion/enchantment SLAs, it doesn't actually do a whole lot else. So basically I'm scrapping that build and currently looking at other options. I suppose it would help if I knew what areas the group is specifically lacking in.

My build mostly just beats the hell out of things with little/no subtlety to it. There is also the breath weapon which is fun as Sonic damage is really good for blowing walls and doors up.

oslecamo, I assume that there would be a lot of overlap between you and a [ur=http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=984.msg6173#msg6173l]Savant[/url]?

Then I can cross that off the options list.  :)

Alright, I've got myself narrowed down to Anchorite, Dragonheart Adept, Elemental Adept, or Spellshape Champion.
