Hello fellow playgrounders.
Firstly-
I was recently playing a 3.5 campaign, and the DM strongly alluded to the idea that the next part of his adventure would be more deadly than the rest (which is quite perilous itself). To that end, I made a backup character.
Julianos McMammom: 97 year old human factotum3/archivist5. He uses a lucerne hamer, breastplate, heavy steel shield, and a heavy crossbow with a gnome sight. Basically he buffs himself and has obscene skills. I didn't take the able learner feat because we houserule that class skills remein class skills for your favored/first class. Very low wealth, hence the fact that I have no magic arms or armor. Also, in lieu of of a free magic weapon that everyone gets, I was allowed to have spellcasting advancement for the three factotum levels I have, so I actually cast at 8th level.
Does anyone think this is a neat idea besides me? The other players don't have a clue who the seemingly senile old man i that started folowing them, but the fact that he made a DC 25 jump check with a -2 str mod makes their jaws drop. Basically, we all ave to find this artifact set for whatever reason (or god, state, peronal gain, or weaseling out of the death penalty) but Julieanos works for a secret society of socialelites (similar to the Illuminati or something, but not evil). He just pretends to be crazy or rediculous. Its actually funny that my highest skill is forgery! Basically he is come out of retirement and does nothing but talk about "back in my day!" and "in 1st ed. we didn't have WBL or fancy shmancy rogues!"
Does anyone have any ideas on hat I can do with this guy? are there many good metamagic feats besides extend or reach spell?
Any good spell or feat suggestions?
sorry for the long length, but finally, does anyone have any general/specific advice for playing this guy?
