A little background:
I've been playing in a campaign as a monk (originally a requirement) and was allowed to be a pixie at the start (note: playing a pixie was meant for humorous purposes and also because it's cute). Anyway, the premise was my character was vying for the ability to guard a special tree, but to do so I had to fight a bunch of battles and become a God. Along the way, as I won battles, the God who hosted the battle would give me gifts to make me more powerful.
The first game and the first gift I received was a special medallion (soul bound) which afforded me the ability to make my strength equal to my wisdom if I meditated for an hour a day. I have done so faithfully since we began this campaign, over 6 months ago. All my purchases have been with the understanding that my strength = my wisdom, so with a bunch of work, my character is now level 8 (ECL 12) and had a strength of 34 (house rules + bunch of other things).
She was, of course, uber powerful. Until last night. The medallion broke last night, leaving my character with excellent armor, excellent saves... and abysmal ability to do any damage. However at the beginning of the year, the DM allowed us to choose if we wanted to re-roll our characters (but keep our items), so now is my chance to do this if I wish. The difficulty being, of course, my items (which thankfully some are useful for more than one thing).
(apologies if I get the names wrong, I am tired and a bit upset)
- Periapt of Wisdom +6
- Cloak of Resistances +5
- Bracers of Armor +5
- Rod of Negation
- Moon Ivy Armor (and no other armor besides this) with a bonus of explosive spores
- A small pixie Quarterstaff of lameness that I never use (1d4)
- Monk Belt
I may have more things, but I can't recall them at the moment.
My question to the forum is the following - considering my gear and the fact I am a pixie, what class(es) should I choose if I were to remake my character? It would be lovely if folks could consider both spellcasting and melee classes as I'm in a bit of a daze at the moment and have to rebuild my character. The planning I had for my character (for 3 or more months in the future) is now completely gone, so if you could suggest even something beyond just my current level status that would be totally awesome.
Some notes:
* I should be, at the end of the new XP, Level 9 (ECL 13)
* By story, my character has no alignment. Absolutely none. While this is a "good" campaign, it is not a requirement that I am necessarily a good class. Up to this point, I was a monk that learned to steal things from the rogue in the party (ie. not lawful). That was not held against me due to the story (but made for some really funny role-playing).
* My character has the possibility of turning randomly into a demon, giving massive bonus stats (for damage) but also making my character incredibly stupid (and very dangerous if I do not have control). Tonight, in my last turn as a demon with the medallion, I managed to do 121 damage in one round with a flurry - 4 attacks - against a Beholder. Now that's mostly gone due to the medallion destruction.
* The storyline is such that many things can change in regards to my character - she can be an entirely different class at this point. But what class? Heck, she could even be a paladin... and not required to be good or lawful.
