My DM has now approved the ability to become a monster in a character now that he is not a primary character ( see page 145 of Savage Species )

The Character I am going to change is the character in my Sig. I was wondering what should I change him into so that he keeps his LG alignment. All Books are allowed with telling me what the book is. No Dragon Magizines.

I believe he uses the wish spell exactly like the book will. I will take Half breeds and templates as long as you can show me where they are.

Note: Money and Experience is not a issue, if you look at my character you can see I can kill even the strongest red or black dragon with ease and then take there treasure.

You kill the strongest red depending on the epic feats the DM gave it. If he gave it epic spell casting, you're a little boned, and certain fly/breath combos would give you problems in the open. But yes, you can easily toe to toe melee a red great wyrm who didn't take the same epic feats as you.

On that note, I recommend "assending" I find a great wyrm gold dragon is a good "go to" for a paladin in golden looking armour, and doing so would cover some of your non-melee on ground deficits. If you mean monster as in, he's fallen to darkness, Just paint the armour black, add spikes to everything and fall to darkness.

He is not a evil paladin, if that was what you meant, he is the same guy and personaly I would perfer to have a monster that has a humanoid look to it. I was thinking a celestrail of some kind.

More or less what I am looking for is a way to completely power up my paladin while still keeping him LG and while turning him into something badass but still human looking....

Any Ideas and I am open still..... if no one can come up with anything better then a dragon then I will pick that....

Gold dragons have an alternate form ability that lets them take the form of any medium or smaller animal or humanoid 3/day for as long as they wish. Becoming a gold dragon would let you remain human-looking until and unless you had reason to be otherwise.

Dragons are not immortal...... I am looking for a way to become Immortal too and as far as I know all outsiders are immortal..... Dragons can live a very very long time ( 2.5k+ ) but that is not long enough...

There is a prestige class in the Draconomicon called, I believe, the Dragon Ascendant. Basically its a 13 level prestige class for true dragons that not only makes you immortal, it makes you a god. Turning into a gold dragon and then becoming a Dragon Ascendant could be a good way to become immortal.

Very true but my problem is that it is nearly impossible for me to get more levels......... so that being said I don't really have the time to gain 13 more levels.....

Look at the Guardinals in the MM1. They're definitely humanoid. I've always liked the Avorals, but the Leonals are pretty cool too.

Ask to become an angel of some kind; it would be plenty appropriate for such an epic paladin I think. Ask if he can ascend to become an astral deva, or an archon of some kind.

Edit: Sort've ninja'd.

Just chalk it up as a class/race retraining.

True.... I am just wondering what kind would be the best..... I was looking at the Solar Deva and it was good but I was wondering would that be the best opion...

Time Dragons are immortal as I recall, though I think they're only in Dragon Mag., and I don't know which issue.

Solars are extremely powerful, hence the epic challenge rating; at the level your character's at, I'd say he's long overdue for godhood really, so if not demigod or quasi-deity status, I'd say becoming a solar would be pretty appropriate.

Well he is a quasi-deity, but the thing is his Deity is in a war that I think he is going to lose..... so I am currently looking for a back up plan for immortality because when my god pulls his divine rank to power something, or he just gets bored of his paladin then I want a back up plan.......

Solar Deva is the best opion, but I want to know if there is anything more badass then a Solar Deva in the war against evil... and remeber I will take any and all books.....

Well There is the Throne Archron from the book of Exalted Deeds........ is that better then a Solar Deva....
