I've recently begun running a customized Neutral Good Half-Celestial Gnome Cleric. For a more detailed description, see below.
Now, my DM is a nice guy who basically ruled "anything goes from a 3.5e splatbook" unless he specifically blacklists it, but I'm wondering what kinds of evil things, tailored to the character, you would to to mess with this character if (or when, considering I'll be using Divine Heightened spells for a Shadowcraft Mage) she gets out of hand.
Why am I asking? For kicks, really. I'm looking for ways to use the character's personality, unusual race, class, etc to come back to bite her, entirely for kicks.
I'm currently laughing at the idea of Planar Binding cast in, say, the Astral Plane, as well as Unholy Storm (Planar Handbook spell), but I'm wondering just how creative people more experienced than myself can get. So get on your Evil DM caps, everybody, I'd love to see what you can do. Bonus points for pure core.
The description is purely to help mess with the character, so I put maybe a little too much detail in it. Still, if you have a question, I'll answer it.
Only added Celestial traits: Always Good race, Native Outsider type (grants Darkvision 60ft & Martial Weapons Proficiency), Disease Immunity, Fly 2x Base Movement, +1 LA. As an aside, I'm curious what others would put the LA at.
6str, 9dex, 14int (yes I know, my cleric isn't an idiot but I am for putting 14 in a dump, it's for RP reasons), 15con, 17cha, 20wis
Not doing carry capacity unless it becomes highly questionable, so a possible scenario would be
"You're flying with six strength, a tower shield, and full plate?"
"They're Small Mithral."
"Oh, okay then."
Just started the game. At the moment, L1 Cleric +1 LA, party levels together so won't gain a level the first time the party levels up.
Worships Garl, Trickery/Good domains until I "Substitute Domain" the Good for Illusion (either houseruled in or swapping to Baravar, w/e) when I hit L3 Shadowcraft Mage (spell prereqs met by non-core spells).
Took a Merciful flaw: DC15+1/2ECL Will when taking a living enemy to "Dying" (neg 1 through neg 9). +2 to save for each remaining enemy, +4 on powerful enemies, +8 if doing so would be nigh-suicidal. Failure means I have to attempt to stabilize the victim(s) I failed on using the Heal skill until they die or I succeed. Cures would also work, but spells per day are considered valuable while Heal is free, so I don't have to use them, even if it's a more reliable method. DM ruled that while I'm doing this, the party can't kill the ones I'm trying to save. Affects roleplay that the character actually must be merciful in most situations.
Personality: Very much a prankster, doing what she can to liven things up for the fun of it. She's the type to use magic to start a bar fight for the lulz, then cooperate with the police when they try to arrest her for it, but still drives them mad with a Prestidigitationed superball she bounces off the cell walls, with a daily Ghost Sound at max volume to make it all the more annoying.
*boing boing boing boing boing boing boing*
"Stop doing that!"
"Is it illegal?"
"No, but-"
"Then shut up, I'm having fun."
