That's much better.

Apropos of nothing: Are we looking to expand our team beyond 4 members?

Someone did just post a Dementist in the Willing Recruits thread...

That's what prompted my post. I'd be in favor of recruiting that person but I thought I'd better get it oked by the rest of the party first.

A twisty summoner.  Great class, and can be very team friendly with Warp Ally.

Excuse me for intruding for a moment... but their ability to warp/buff their allies can be immensely team-friendly. DonQuixote is/was playing one in another game SirP is DMing, and I observed the class to be quite powerful. It's basically a crazy summoner who can mix and match abilities from monsters within his summons (like a dragon with tentacles and a troll's regeneration), and even grant them to his allies as a kind of temporary "psuedo-graft".

The name is a little misleading until you actually read the class. Like Phaedrus and sirpercival said, it's basically a funky take on a summoner.

Given that we have Abberation connections I think a Dementist would fit right in. The specific character could also fit in pretty well with minor tweaks at most.

Hi all! Thanks for the invite.  :)

Ok first of all here is the character. He is not finished since I am awaiting SirPercival to tell me with what creatures I am permitted to start with.

http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=385487

I am not much for optimization so if you have any suggestions feel free to tell me.

He is mainly focused on his summonings, getting enough Dementia points to splurge and wild shaping to the creature forms he has available. He is not much for party buffing yet, but in 4 levels he will be able to give you the extraordinary and supernatural abilities of the creature he has as well as the half-farspawn template.

I will post a small background later so you can tell me if it conflicts with the theme you are going for for this team.

Hi sam!  So I talked to DonQ -- what you get is the full complement, assuming you take 10 on every imprinting check.

Eee ok. How ridiculus can I get?   :D :

I mean I have an imprinting check of   1d20+6(level)+8(Charisma) which means with take 10 I have 24

Sooo with 1 minute of searching I present(Creature/Imprinting check needed)

1) Will o Wisp / 20 -> Natural invisibility, Immunity to magic
2) 12-headed Cryohydra / 21 -> 12 attacks, Fast Healing 22
3) Black Pudding / 15 -> Split

So does your aswer hold? Am I allowed to wild shape to a Half-Farspawn 12-headed Cryohydra with Immunity to magic?  :plotting

I don't mind taking care of search. It's always nice to find glittering trinkets and rice cakes among the bodies of the fallen.

OK! it would be strange having a bunch of  my character  clones running around  :D :D

Ok guys I am searching for interesting monsters but there are a lot to choose from.
So if you know any good ones with good to have Ex abilities or attacks let me know.

The only restrictions are: corporeal, HD+Charisma Mod <= 14.

Ok what I have so far with a quick pass (Creature/What I can get from it). I have 6 slots availiable and leave 1 free just in case we find something interesting.

1) Will o Wisp -> Fly 50ft (perfect), Natural invisibility, Immubity to magic
2) 12-headed Cryohydra / 21 -> 12 attacks, Fast Healing 22, Breat Weapon
3) Very young  Shadow dragon -> Natural Armor, Immunity to Energy Drain
4) Warboun impaler -> Good combat form
5) Gelatinous Cube -> Paralysis with every natural attack
6) Urophion -> Str damage with natural attacks

Any other particular ability you believe it would be nice to have around?
Also monsters I summon keep their abilities, so do you know any creatures that would be useful to have around even if I can't warp their abilities (like a Couatle which cast spells like a 9th lvl sorcerer)?


Edit: Also SirPercival. Do you believe Swarms should be availiable for imprinting? They are treated as single creature but are not so I am not sure if I can imprint them. What do you think?
