FacePalming Character Creations

[silverwolfer]

So am hosting a small game among so folks online, that is sort of think of chess against each other, in the sort of...team of super heros versus team of super heros, although very clearly in a d&d aspect.

I am still making up backround information and maps, and they are asking help in creating stats and characters for the team they want to build, I would like to throw this up on the board and see if any are willing to help create creations for them. The creations are between Level 5 and level 7 , and nearly all books are allowed besides Dragon, and none that can be evil.




Great Captains
1 This guy is pretty and uses a Jovar
2 This guy is on a horse
3 This guy acts like a Vampire but nobody is quite sure why
4 This guy is a Frenzied Bersker
5 This guy is the one holding #4's leash
6 This guy is the who set all those monkeys on fire that one time (arcane)
7 This guy is the one who gave him the alcohol becuase his god told him to (divine)
8 This guy is misunderstood and likes to stab people with arrows
9 This guy is quiet and spends all his time Tracking
10 This guy is secretly in love with #9 so spends a lot of time Tracking, too



Thank you for all and any help you can give.

What level optimization?

Should we explain what the characters we build can do?

I mean, "This guy is pretty and uses a Jovar"
Can be a Bard wielding +1 weapon aptitude Jovar with Snowflake Wardance (weapon aptitude allows snowflake to affect it is idea: Cha to hit).
Maybe a Cleric 1/Bard 5?
Divine Might adds Cha to damage.
Slippers of Battlendancing adds Cha (but that is too expensive for now)
You might want Extra Music/turning at low levels if you do this though.

This means your Jovar fighting abilies are powered by your pretty guyness.

Just a thought.

[silverwolfer]

from 1 being chicken infested commoner to 10 being Incantrix, I would say around level 7 or 8.


If you want to explain please feel free to , all methods and details given are fully appreciated as is just posting a very basic build.

[Kuulvheysoon]

For #2, he should really start using old Spice.

In all seriousness, 5 could be anybody with some sort of calm emotions effect, be it a class ability, spell or feat.
6 is a good candidate for warmage, assuming generally low-op.

1. The bard Jovar wielder idea is better than anything I can come up with.

2. A paladin based direcharger, maybe? Or any direcharger, I suppose.

3. Half vampire (Libris Mortis) rogue 5?

4. a Frenzied Beserker, yes?

5. Either a cleric, an enchanter, or a telepath? (the enchanter can also imobilize an FB with grease, assuming he doesn't ban conjuration.)

6. Warmage, wu jen (maybe has a taboo against being around live animals or something, so had to dispose of them?), or wizard (probably evoker, but not nessicarily.)

7. Umm... cleric of Dionysus, maybe?

8. Stab people... with arrows? That's a horrible choice of stabbing weapon! Regardless, maybe an avenging executioner?

9. A ranger is the obvious choice, but a druid could easily do this too, or a scout.

10. Could be anything, but it sounds like either a scout or rogue to me.

[TuggyNE]

from 1 being chicken infested commoner to 10 being Incantrix, I would say around level 7 or 8.

That's not the best scale, given how absurdly useful Chicken-Infested can be in some builds. :smalltongue: (Under certain circumstances, it's as good as any two normal feats, and it gives a free feat on top of that!)

[zlefin]

if you're looking for ways to flesh out those rough ideas a bit; preferably in a silly/facepaling way, i've got a few ideas.

2. kinda hackneyed but: an anthropomorphic horse (savage species) druid riding a horse (mount) with animal companion horse that summons horses.
Though I suppose paladin or ranger might be ok too.
The horse force.

3. minor vampire bloodline would explain it; without being too obvious; not very funny though. if you want comedy invoke the twilight sparkly vampires somehow; maybe with aasimar?

8. use something like Saika from durarara
Saika is a powerful cursed sword that can possess its wielder. Saika loves people and wants to express that love; and for a sword physical intimacy is stabbing people (though it doens't kill them so far as i've read)


alignment-wise; i'd say at least half the people are gonna be chaotic neutral suitably enough.

8. Stab people... with arrows? That's a horrible choice of stabbing weapon! Regardless, maybe an avenging executioner?

There's a weapon , the Siangkam (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siangham) which is little more than an arrow with a grip. It's an oriental theme so this could be a swordsage build.

I should try that some time, hahaha. (almost made me die laughing)

Good suggestion (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)

my player wishes to thank you very much Doc

[Nullmancer]

And to think, he busted that out in...what...a day? It takes me at least a week to decide which role in the group i want to take. I'm surprised his brain doesn't explode from all of the knowledge. O.o
