Mary Poppins

[Lioness]

It came up in game the other day, that Mary Poppins has a bag of holding, teleportation, fly, and very possibly an umbrella of feather fall.

Anything else amusing you can think of for her?

[paddyfool]

Hm. Limited repertoire of magical tricks that she doesn't think much of; lots of smarts; lots of social skills; sings.

Mary Poppins has to be either a Factotum or a Bard. Probably the former, because the latter doesn't get Fly and Teleport without prestige classes.

[Duke of URL]

She could also be a Warlock focused on social skills.

[paddyfool]

I like that - Dark Poppins. Can't exactly see her as the type to sell her soul, though.

[Duke of URL]

She's Fey, not Fiendish.

Scary Mary

[Comet]

When I first saw that movie, I instantly thought that Mary is some kind of wizard-fixer that travels through unknown worlds solving different problems with her neat tricks and her extensive network of supernatural and mundane contacts.
So yeah, you're right on the money with this, Lioness.

[Lioness]

And she's probably got some sort of Mage hand, or greater Mage Hand, if such a thing exists.

If only I could clean up a room as fast as her

Prestidigitation is a mere cantrip... and Unseen Servant is a 1st level spell.

Honestly? Probably high-end sorcerer or maybe Bard/Sublime Chord.

She's got Plane Shift, for crying out loud...

[paddyfool]

Whatever the class, all three mental stats should be pretty high. Also, I'd like to add the Polymorph line of spells to the stuff she's seen using (in the Uncle Arthur scene).

I do remember that she flies only with the umbrella, so it may be a magic item. Don't remember about the teleport, though.

[Zeta Kai]

I'd have to check their spell list, but I think of her as a Beguiler. She certainly seems... enchanting...

Unless she teleports to a random sky point and then uses it as an Umbrella of Feather Fall.

Or perhaps it's just a prop, and she has a ring of feather fall instead.

[Telonius]

The umbrella is an intelligent magical item, too. It talks to her in the last scene.

[Keshay]

I'm thinking the Umbrella was an item familiar, wherein Mary had placed the flight abilities.

Whatever she is, she'd be a pretty powerful magic user by D&D standards.

[Ichneumon]

How do we know she is human? She might be a fey... could explain how she get all those powers.

QFT. She's the freakin' Spirit of the East Wind, after all. You don't get much more Fey than that (or Elemental, but I just don't see her as an Air Elemental. Fey fits much better.)

Well duh, she is "practically perfect in every way."

[CarpeGuitarrem]

SNAP! The job's a game!

Who, unfortunately, forgot to put any ranks in Perform (Cockney Accent).

Thank goodness for that: the U.S. audience would have required subtitles if the real thing had been used.

Lioness, this thread should really be part of your siggy. :P

I should, this is really interesting to read.

And I'm watching Mary Poppins again sometime, to just sit there and stat her out.
Not for a week though :(

Just because she has the Fay type does not mean that she does not also have a lot of Bard and Sublime Chord levels...

[Signmaker]

She's a conjurer/illusionist/transmuter, duh.

[Fiendish_Dire_Moose]

Mary Poppins is an epic level Warlock with levels in Hellfire Warlock and a 6 level run in Bard. You think she's some nanny who's practically perfect in every way, but in reality she's a devil worshipping, baby sacrificing, nightmare that even Freddy was afraid of.
BEWARE! Here there be chimney sweeps!

[DragonBaneDM]

BEWARE! Here there be chimney sweeps!

Confound it now I wanna stat out her chimney sweep minions!!!!

[Kobold-Bard]

Willing to blow away a dozen other applicant nannys just to ensure she got the job.

Chaotic Evil Air Elemental Warlock seems to fit pretty well.

[Thurbane]

I'm going to agree with Warlock, possibly with the Enlightened Spirit PrC. Maybe with some freaky template(s).

...or a Gestalt Warlock/Enlightened Spirit//Binder.

[Telonius]

For the regular sweep followers, it's pretty clear that they have Ranks in Perform (song), Perform (dance), and Profession (Chimney Sweep), Climb, and Balance. I'd really hesitate to call these guys Experts, but either that or they're Commoners with INT 14.

Other things Mary's able to cast:
Crushing Despair (to Uncle Albert)
either Overland Flight or Animate Objects (carousel scene)
Speak with Animals (penguins) - unless those are Awakened or Anthropomorphic.
