a continuation:

so for once i get to play and not manage a game of insane players. if you've seen other posts i play with people that come up with insane things to text the limits of fun and my patience. but we all have fun and i appreciate creative non OP players

SO! i never get to play and i don't want to use all the years of knowledge to make something OP. and i am not going to mess with casting cause that leads to trouble.

here are my 2 idea. the first one i don't need help with, the second i do. the more "votes" for either build will win and ill roll with that. i have about a week...
we start at 1 and go to whenever. so dont plan on lining up a build to 20.....just the start of one.

Idea 1: Warforged Fighter with Shocking fist (when i Feat into it) just simple and fun.

Idea 2:....i want to try an Awakened Living Spell (i have the back story all lined up).... NOW in the interests of FUN, i need a level 1 spell to have this based off of....any ideas? i want to stay away from Evocation.....something thematic and fun.

Note: is this even legal or an idea with legs (no pun intended)? i dont know all the RAW/RAI for making an awakened living spell work.

thoughts?

An awakened 1st-level living spell? How about Grease? You are basically a puddle of grease, except you are made of pure arcane energy. Alternatively, try Wall of Smoke. Or try to talk your DM into allowing Scholar's Touch.

Entangle. Be a sentient plant without any of the flaws of being an awakened plant.

Sleep, and fluff liking to hug people. Cue Jigglypuff syndrome.

Unseen Servant: be a butler

Charm Person.

CLW: The ultimate bandaid

Hideous Laughter: The Joker, 2.0

Reduce Person: Talk to your GM about letting it stack. Grapple someone, and reduce them to nothing.

I am not sure, but would a Living Painless Death override the 'needs to be willing' part? If so...

Excuse me, I'm off cackling manically in the corner.

Some ideas:

Alarm - Imagine a car alarm always on. You can lead to some nasty tactics

Identify - Pretty handsome utility spell

Magic Aura - Have fun changing magical auras

Ventriloquism - The i'm-here-but-not spell

Erase - Erase all the knowledge, notes and accounting books just because you can

WAITWAITWAIT!

Make one of those hybrid Living spells (I think the example one was fireball/glitterdust?) out of Scholar's Touch/Erase. DEVOUR THE KNOWLEDGE.

How about throwing it at your players? They are only CR 1, after all... With sentry ooze and the elite array, you can make them CR 4 monsters with the only thing standing between you and instadeath a DC 18 reflex save. That means your 16 DEX rogue chances of not dying are still only 50%.
