D20 hit and run character
So I'm building a character for a game that combines a bunch of systems. And the concept I'm working with is one who can quickly move about the battlefield to assist with flanking and get in some spring attacks and such.
What I need from the hive mind is a race from any d20 system that has a fast movement speed. Preferably medium sized and 40+. Would like a dex and con bonus but the con is negotiable. I've got the feats and classes worked out already.Gm: "Describe your characters personality."

Re: D20 hit and run character
Nezumi, from Oriental Adventures, have base speed 40, +2 CON, -2 CHA, and no LA (they also get some other bonuses that may or may not be relevant to your build). They're 3.0, hope that's not an issue.

Re: D20 hit and run character
Those are all great suggestions. However as I stated I need a race not feets not class abilities four traits. I need a race to play.

Re: D20 hit and run character
Necropolitan Anthro-Octopus is technically LA +0 and has 0 HD, with a super fast jet ability, but it tends to have DMs throwing books at your head.
You should look up the world record movespeed build for reference. It's around 30% the speed of light without infinite loops.

Re: D20 hit and run character
Anthro-Octopus has 2 HD naturally. With necropolitan you can cut it to 1 and replace with a class HD. Though it's really sketchy because you can't usually pay for the rite at ECL 2...
And I think the ritual itself can kill you? I don't remember exactly. At least I know there's an octopus variant that can barely fit through, but it's probably the LA+1 version.

Re: D20 hit and run character
I... I don't think becoming necropolitan can make you lose racial HD... like, ever.

Re: D20 hit and run character
Yeah, if it worked the other way you could play any race and just get enough Raise Deads ready to become 1HD...

Re: D20 hit and run character
Necropolitan makes you lose a level. However, I feel like in this case, racial HD is not the same as levels. After all, you can have 0 XP and still have all your racial HD.

Re: D20 hit and run character
An "effective" level or hit die is not the same thing as losing an actual hit die. That sentence is specifically for purposes where a creature's HD would matter when determining the results of an effect, such as with Blasphemy.
A "hit die" is also not the same thing as a racial hit die. Energy drain explicitly states at the end of the description that "A character with negative levels at least equal to her current level, or drained below 1st level, is instantly slain." So if you are a 1st-level character, an energy drain effect would kill if you fail your save to remove it regardless of how many racial hit dice you possess. I can't imagine the Necropolitan ritual works any differently.Resident Mad Scientist...

Re: D20 hit and run character
Racial hit dice are added to class levels and level adjustment to determine "effective character level".
These have very specific uses, such as determining how much experience the character needs to advance another class level, or how much equipment they should be eligible to purchase.Resident Mad Scientist...
