Good evening!
I have a DM who, throwing caution to the wind, gave us an off-the-wall character generation, which consisted of 5 levels, free +7 LA, and mut be evil. All stats are base 10, and we can move around up to 10 points however we want.
My character (still on the drawing board, but looking beastly) is a... *deep breath*
Mechanically
Ravenous fleshvigor netherhound greater phantom incarnate construct ice beast half-Minotaur Unseelie
water Orc evolved swarmshifter undead legionary fire-souled nimble hunting deathknight. I'm probably going to make him into a either a bard for Dragonfire Inspiration abuse, or a monk because really, poor class choice can't hurt me right now.
Thematically
The character is a mix of the first boss from castlevania games (the Minotaur knight), and an inexorable force of entropy. Clad in thick plates of blackened iron and rattling chains, it marches like a tank, being a mobile platform for darkness and evil. Sieging cities, razing villages, and generally tilling over the entire campaign world. Risen from therefor waters of an abandoned arcane ruin, forgotten by even it's aboleth masters, and bound by magic and oaths to serve as the vehicle of a mad sorcerer. Unknown to the sorcerer, this... Thing is Pestilence incarnate, bringing the world to ruin, under the unknowing eyes of a mortal who believes he can control the fate of the world.
I was looking at spells, trying to figure out what would be both fun and thematic (yes, there is a theme there, trust me :smallwink:). I'm going to grab magic jar as a 5th level spell. But I can't decide what to do for 6th level, as I only get one.
I've looked at Revive Undead (somewhat useless to me if I die), Planar binding (http://www.electricsamurai.com/forums/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif), and create undead. Actually, create undead is useless since all I get are ghouls... Better to summon shadows or wights with Summon Undead.
Animate dead at 2nd is a good go, too. Reading the template, it doesn't matter what class the SLAs come from, so long as they are of the Conjuration, Evocation or Necromancy schools. I believe; I reread the page several times, but maybe I was hasty...
Oh look, create undead is 5th level for Death Masters! Haha.
Anyway, any help or guidance at all is appreciated. I've always found the playground to be a grand resource. You are all so clever. Cleverer than me at 03:00, at any rate. :smallbiggrin:

Anyway. What spells would the Playground suggest? I did a search but found nothing.
