One of my Pathfinder games ended and one of the players wanted to get back to 3.5, as a DM. The group as a whole decided we should try stuff we never tried before ("No Warlocks for you, Thiago!" they said in unison).
Since I recently feel in love with the Shinomen Greensnake Nagas (from Oriental Adventures) and I had never even seen the Nightstalker class from Races of Ansalon, I decided to give it a shot. I thought for a second that mixing stuff from two settings (Rokugan and Dragonlance) would be cheesy, but the DM told me he'll just consider greensnakes a kind of "half naga", to fit it in his world (homwbrew setting, don't know much about it). I'm cool with it.
The problem is, well, that I know next to nothing about the Nightstalker. The DM lent me his Races of Ansalon and from a first look, the Nighstalker oozes cool. My power comes from being bold enough to tap on the powers of the dead?! Cool! I get bonus on Knowledge, initiative and other stuff when people have died in their spot because the dead are telling me secrets? Double cool! I get rebuke undead and a ghost as my companion?! Triple cool! I'm just a bit underwhelmed by it not getting sneak attack.
We are starting at 5th level, so with my LA that makes me a Nightstalker 4. I plan on dropping out at levels 6, 8 or 11 because I'm pretty sure multiple ghost companions would ruin the game. I have no idea what I'll take for feats (aside from Mindsight at level 1) and the only equipment I'm sure to get is a wand of venomfire.
Any suggestion would help greatly :smallbiggrin:
