Nah, i'm going with a 1/4 elven 3/4 human (he's human for metagame purposes, it's just part of his backgrond) weretiger. Granted, the -2 means I can't cast 8th level spells, but it's worth it.

On another note, I had to blow every single on of my gold pisces on scrolls and spellbooks but...........

I CAN CAST EVERY WIZARD SPELL UP TO 7TH LEVEL!!

Basically, although you can get some pretty nifty psionic abilities such as fatelink and mind seed that are fun.

Updated character. Swapped out three levels of Fighter for three of Human Paragon(From Unearthed Arcana), dropping my BAB and Saving Throws a little, to gain a nice bonus to one ability score. Added Gear.

Have Ungodly Constitution score now. Whee!

I don't have 3.5, and arn't getting it simply because i'm not shelling out another $90 for minor improvements.

DM: Since there are only minor differences between the two systems, can I just use mine for charachter creation?

Yes.
And by the way, 3.5 doesn't just include minor improvements. The bard, barbarian, and ranger classes have been massively re-worked to be more balanced, as well as some pretty large spell changes.

Yeah, Call Lightning for example, can now be used anywhere but underwater, so...you can I suppose literally have your own storm in a teacup.....

I'm not sure what class I'm going to go with....wizard is what I tend to prefer....but we seem to have a glut of them....

*Cough cleric cough*. :)
Everyone always wants to be a wizard. Why not a rogue instead, or a barbarian, or a monk, or a bard even, instead of just a bunch of fireball-hurling robe wearing logicians? 8)
Oh, and btw, I'm gonna make up some NPC's that you guys can select to play as if you so desire. *nudge nudge*.
And Keevan? See your custom title? Guess whta I'm thinking of. :wink:

Who said anything about fireballs, robes and logic....I find other types of wizard much more entertaining.... ;)

I'd say go Cleric. We need some solid divine spells, and while I can heal, it's not going to be very good healing.

I honestly don't know what to do with this PC once he starts gaining levels, though. Can I draw up an Epic Progression of Spellfire Channeler for him to try and augment it into full Silver Fire or something? Low on ideas..

Ok, but since i'm a wizard those class changes shouldn't be a problem.

Spellfire? Bah!

Pu-leeze. I'm not that kind of wizard.

I'm more the "Polymorph other innocent pesents" when your bored kind of wizard.

Example: "So what if I turned that commoner into an adult gold dragon? Most people would give their left arm to be like that!"

Or I could just take over the world.........hmmmmmmm........i DO have leadership.

-----------------------------------

Oh great DM, can I start with some were-tiger followers from my leadership feat?

Oh lord. He's Chaotic Stupid.

I hope everyone realizes we're fucked if we hit a Dead Magic Zone. I may have to make a new PC and drop teh Spellfire Boy just to make sure we can handle such..

Did you? I didn't see.

The SRD is NOT the rule books and isn't an accetable subsitute in any event.

As I'm into sorcerer, the question pops up: Where to add bonus spells? On Spells Known, Spells per day, or both? I don't know what the house rules are :)

Hello all, I'm interested in joining, but I don't know that much about the FR. Would that be a big problem?

Alright, going with a human rogue/fighter finesse fighter sort of fellow....so those of you worried about such things, we'd still be lacking a healer.
