There's a chance I may be joining a 'Realms game this Monday. They had one session already (I wasn't able to make it because of a family vacation, but the DM may let me come in late). The only problem is, I have no idea what to do for a character.
The party consists of:
Dragonborn (Heart) Dungeoncrasher Fighter
Aasimar Healbot Cleric
Feytouched Scout (who I've been told dropped a 17 into Charisma)
Edit: Tiefling Bard (using Pathfinder's Rakshasa tiefling ancestry while fluffed as being descended from a demon or devil)
So, it appears to be mid-to-low optimization game, and they mentioned the DM is gonna be using a lot of pre-published adventures.
I'm fairly certain the game uses UA spell points rather than spell slots.
From previous games with the DM I've been in, I know the following is banned:
Factotum (for being "overpowered")
Chameleon (for the same reason as the Factotum)
Warblade, Swordsage, and Crusader (see above)
Prestige classes and feats in the Tome of Battle are still on the table. Maybe.
He'd prefer no Truenamer on account of how totally borked it is.
Personally, I'd prefer to stay away from prepared casters because of all the bookwork.
As far as race goes, I think nothing too extravagant or you run the risk of being lynched or something (but for some reason Drow is still on the table?)
LA is not bought off, but rather for every 3 or 4 levels (I forget which) you just gain another level until you're equal to the no-LA characters.
Starting at level 5, I think. Any advice?
EDIT: No evil characters.
