Decision made.

I am an Ætherforge 10 // Sniper 10.

I'm a Wis based mercenary/assassin bow specialist.

Should be interesting. I'll start statting up when I'm not stuck with just my phone.

ketaro has completed their character.  :smirk
(Except for maneuvers)

He's full of explosions and booze.

Linky to your haracter Sheet then? :p

Hmmm. Can I refluff Valkyrie somewhat so it's more like Hellsing's "army of devoured souls" rather than "battle maiden of the gods"?
Sure! :D

If this is still open, I still have my Artificer//Factotum character that scales up or down power-wise to fit. Level 10 is early enough that the truly silly things aren't online yet anyway.

There's still place for you and another person assuming parties of five, which gives some redundancy.

I'll shoot you an overview of potentially problematic stuff. You've probably seen my handbook on it though, you know what I'm about :-P
Replied, and I'll take the chance to point out to everybody that item familiar is auto banned, just too cheesy for my tastes.

Hmmm. I think my vampire's attitude to Bonnie is sort of grumpy acceptance: it's nice not to hide, but having to pay attention to normal laws is inconvenient because almost all humans are far too squishy.

Particularly when if you don't take your time with a meal, your default CON drain is 11-14. Or, you know, instantly lethal to most people. And at times have needed help to eat, or not break things simply by using them a little. :lmao

Question, for Diabolic Wave, does: "99%-75%- Can’t deal non-lethal damage." block this feature from Vampire Lord:

Quote
Portrait of Ruin-When the Vampire Lord uses Blood Drain, it inflicts an extra 2 points of Con drain and gains one extra Blood Charge. In alternative, it may choose to inflict just one Con drain to properly enjoy the meal. If the Vampire Lord has 8 HD or more even creatures normally immune to ability drain are affected, but they only take half com drain. If they don't have a Con score, they take Cha drain instead.

Related, due to how Vampire Lord and Evolved Undead interact:

Quote from: Curse of Darkness
Curse of Darkness-When the Vampire Lord uses Energy Drain, it now inflicts 3 negative levels instead of 2 plus it gains an extra Blood Charge.If the Vampire Lord has 8 HD or more even creatures normally immune to energy drain  receive one negative level, altough you don't gain Blood Charges from them.

Quote from: Fallen Drain
Whenever you deal ability score damage, drain, or inflict negative levels, you inflict an extra amount equal to half your Cha mod (or just one extra in the case of negative levels), and the DCs of such abilities increases by 1.

If applying a negative level to something normally immune, is that one level (as per Curse of Darkness) or 2 (apply Fallen Drain after)?

So between Valkyrie Soul Overlord and Vampire Lord requirements I would have like a shitton of servants.

How to fluff them with minimal fuss... Hmmm...

...I got it. I'm going to be a school principal.

I think the thing with vampire lord spawn is you assume they aren't sticking around right now. :p

See http://minmaxforum.com/index.php?topic=1281.0 ?  Several anthro races get that, Khepri from Dragon Mag 352, Lesser Zenythri, or Jermlaine.

Only popped in because I saw it on the bottom of the front page.

Racial classes don't help me.   :p


I appreciate the thought Jack, I have that thread bookmarked. Out of those only Kephri doesn't already have an Os homebrew version and I'm not sure if I want to deal with a Con penalty with an average point buy.

It's not that big a deal if you're squishy. It won't be the end of the world to have no 18s base :P
I didn't even have any base stat from point buy higher than 15. All I made sure to do was not have anything under 10.

I'll heal you, babe  :flutter

Edit: Maneuvers done. ketaro is 100% ready to party  :cheers

You can still inflict only 1 Con drain even if at 99%-75%.

2

Wild Hunt. :p

Joking aside, it's a bit funny you're looking for something less "crazy high OP" then want base races with two ability score bonus when the standard is just one bonus and penalty. Neither the sniper nor the aetherforge are any slouches so even without racial bonus your character should be more than capable for this campaign.

Edit: Maneuvers done. ketaro is 100% ready to party  :cheers

Ahem, about that did you check for your power level? Even before taking in account your maneuvers you have enough AC that all the fire giant and trolls need natural 20s to hit you, enough saves that you're only failing on a natural 1 against the Mind Flayer's mind blast, immune to the Bebilith's poison, fast healing against the Vrock's spores. Maybe a couple blue dragons could wear you down with hit-and-run lighting breaths (one alone doubtful), maybe an evil cleric or two with their piles of skeletons with great tactics could succeed, the shadows are the only challenge that seems to present a clear advantage against you since you lack immunity to ability drain and that's assuming they can get a full surround otherwise you can kite them with your breath. Plus you're packing both Freedom of Movement and immunity to mind-affecting so none of the enemies can hope to just grab and pin you down. And again not taking in account maneuvers yet. -_-'

Like in the new coming Fire Emblem? Eu gosto. :D

However do note that Vampire Lord only requires that you created 666 vampires, not that you have 666 simultaneous vampire servants, which is anyway impossible inside the vampire spawn control limits at 10th level (you could have a max ECL 8 that means just eight lv 2 vampires). It is assumed the Vampire Lord either released previous vampires and now they're doing their thing or they were destroyed somehow.

So Vampire Valkyrie High could still work, but most of the 666 vampires spawned by you would no longer be bound to obey and could skip your orders if they felt like it. Just like proper real students!

I don't consider wanting an 18 and a 16 after racial modifiers to be super high op.  :p
