The Epic Game: Character Construction (Phase I)

[Macbrea]

Ah, you ask... Were do bad faeries go!

They go to me!

If a faerie is viewed by his people as a bad faerie they go to the worst place they could possibly go!

What do I do with them?

<<Cackles>>

I make monks, scribes, lawyers and judges!

I have an ordered system with rules! More rules then they could ever live by.

And my rules aren't evil, you could be perfectly good as long as your following the letter of the rules.


Long ago, Xavier swore an oath to the Eldarin people that he would protect them. And he has lived upto the letter of the law. Their own chaotic nature gets them killed more times then not. It is upto him to take those bad apples in the bunch and reform them.

With Improved Spell Capacity you get one extra spell slot, of up to 1 level higher than your highest spell level.

The Divine Spellcaster Divine Salient ability gives you spell slots up to your relevant ability modifier.

Also you can't have a base of 22 as a human, the max is 18.

Zack - I think my cohort with aim towards Guardian Paramount or just straight Fighter. I haven't decided. I'm trying to figure out a good back story.

K - Thanks for the help. I fixed the stats. How DO I get higher level spell slots then (a feat each time?)? Is there an ability like the one you mentioned for arcane casters?

Thanks

John

The above mentioned Divien Salient Ability works for arcane casters too. Just means you need to be a diety of Divine rank 1 or more and spend one of your DSA's on the ability.

Hmm, ECL 50 as it works means that the only things worth playing are Paragons, Pseudonaturals, Druids and Bashing People- type and Gods if you boost Charismal to a truly sick level. Is there anything that can be done about this ?

 

[Dalamar]

For a Hack'n'Slash game, they might be the only viable choices. But for RPing my monk is probobly as good as any of the others. And at epic levels, I don't think most of the game is going to be bashing.

Agreed, and with regards to not having a lot of hack n slash in an epic game, well, there will be some, and what's the use of a character if whenever battle occurs you have to lie down and die?

CS/Kal, take a quick look at these templates for Dukes of Hell, Archdevils (note you need Duke of Hell template as well for this), and Lords of the Nine (note you need the Archdevil, and thus Duke of Hell template as well for this) posted by Serge in the House Rules section-tell me if you think they would be acceptable in the epic game and about at what ECL.
