I'm currently a player at a Call of Cthulhu D&D campaign, where my character is a changeling chosen by Nyarlathotep (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyarlathotep) (an Elder God from Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mytos series) to open the temple so the Crawling Chaos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyarlathotep) can walk through the Material Plane. We all players got the mission of unlocking the temples of our respective Elder God, however, our gods also told us to work in a team (even if they do not get along).
The starting party was conformed by:
Beguiler (Chosen by Nyarlathotep (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyarlathotep)) [ME]
Druid Avenger (Chosen by Cthulhu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulhu))
Evoker of Fire (Chosen by The Blackness from the Stars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulhu_Mythos_deities#The_Blackness_from_the_Star s))
Favored Soul of Bane (Chosen by Tharizdun (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tharizdun))
Kensai*(Chosen by Yog-Sothoth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yog-Sothoth))
*The fighter variant in DM#310.
Using the Taint variant that come in Unearthed Arcana and is expanded at Heroes of Horror, our DM has made a really mess of our characters (in a good way, of course; he's awesome~~). First of all, my character has suffered a lot of changes due to my actions (in the name of Nyarlathotep). S/he has obtained Nyarlathotep's eyes [(-) (l) like that], also got a mark on his/her forehead that granted Polymorph 1/week. Later on she obtained a big mouth from the start of her stomach to the end of her chest (vertical way), which opens and tentacles come out of it to search for things to swallow to the plane where Nyarlathotep lies; this feature granted Baleful Polymorph 1/month. At some point, my character's type changed to Outsider (Native), which granted DR10/Magic. Later on, when I swallowed a cleric of Nikopol, I got an open mouth and sharpened teeth which allows me to bite attack, and claws on each hand as well. Last time we played, I got poison on my claws, which deals 1d6 Con damage on hit. I can hide almost all of those features with Minor Shapechange, except for the mouth on my torso, so being social hasn't changed a lot.
During our adventures, I gave up my levels of beguiler for levels of factotum, so I'm currently a Rogue 2 / Factotum 3 / Chameleon 2, with the first level of changeling rogue.
Other curiosity about my character comes with the Aptitude Focus, Chameleon's class feature. When I get into a focus, our DM rolls a d10 and assigns an alignment according to the dice roll.
1. GL - 2. GN - 3. GC - 4. NL - 5. NN - 6. NC - 7. EL - 8. EN - 9. EC - 10. reroll dice.
Every alignment carry a different personality and race. Using the Minor Shapechange and the polymorph SLAs, my DM has given me 5 personalitys so far.
Neutral Good: Female, Drow, Cleric of Selune.
Chaotic Good: Female, Young Gold Dragon (15HDs).
True Neutral: Genderless, Changeling at Primal Form (all aberrant features open).
Lawful Evil: Female, Gray Elf.
Chaotic Evil: Genderless, original form of my character.
I'm still in the curiosity of knowing the rest of the races n' personalities of the rest of the alignments, when I became a dragon, I was like O_O. Of course, my character ignores this fact, and the change ends when the Aptitude Focus ends.
What do you think my character could do to get more aberrant, and give favors to the crawling chaos. My char wields a Talenta Sharash, and the first time she offered a creature as a sacrifice was a gnoll (after a war between gnolls and catfolks). I took him to an appart place and casted Silent Image arround me to make an image of a big rock arround me, then I casted Arcane Mark on the body (I had a scroll that I asked the wizard to do). Lastly, I started deforming the corpse with the scythe, with strong ''cup-de-graces,'' deforming it. Nyarlathotep took me to a ''Commune''-like status where he spoke to me (that gave me a taint) and asked for the temple stuff.
Meh, the other players have only suffered minimal changes, such as getting scale-like skin, a tentacle instead of an arm (providing reach), a ruby instead of an eye, and else.
So, what does playground's folks think? Was this too much?
