Evilbob Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 So our current D&D campaign is starting to wind down. By starting to I mean we're 9th level, and will prolly hit 13th at the end. The DM is starting to work on his next campaign, and has decided to take it 1st-20th. Something our group has never quite managed to do. Apparently he has figured out how to keep us challanged the whole time, and keep the feel of the campaign. So I have a couple of months to figure out a concept. What do I want to play for 20 whole levels??? Right now I'm playing a Cleric (half-elf) in one game and a Fighter (halfling) in the other D&D game I'm in. I like all of the base classes, so I could really play just about anything. In this DM's worlds monks are usually the only restricted class (because he doesn't like the feel). Then after I come up with a concept I need to find me a mini. Oh my, where will I ever go for that... I've only ever done prestige classes once or twice, so I think I'd like to come up with a concept that incorperates a prestige class. Any Ideas?

Voladilk Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 There are of course all the fun, new, non-prestige classes in the Complete books and the other new books they brought out. You could perhaps find one in there that suits your style quite easily. Also a lot of the prestige classes are a lot of fun to play with. What kind of things do you like to do with a character? Good/evil Law/Chaos? That might help us help you out as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladystorm Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Then after I come up with a concept I need to find me a mini. IMO, you are doing it backwards, find your mini first, then come up with a character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well...I am looking through Casket Works right now for Ideas. --So far the fire sorceress and the battle troll are speaking to me. I usually play chaotic neutral or good types. I'm thinking trying to brake out of that for this one. edit: Barros and Tempest....Just need a mini for low levels and unmounted....hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Snack Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 For a whole 20 levels, Cleric, Druid, and Rogue have a pretty smooth progression. Clerics have some good PrC and Rogues have a couple of nice ones (depending on what direction you want your character to go). Not sure about Druids, they get some nice abilities I wouldn't want to lose out on. If you want to 'break out' and try something different, how about a Paladin/Rogue? Sure, there's some multiclassing issues with the Paladin, but that makes a good story about falling off the path (with a Paladin-esque PrC for when you find the path again)...

Evilbob Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 i like the paladin rogue idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Snack Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 For a mini, how about 14299: Saramonde, or maybe 3149: Justine Winterhart (but the flaming sword probably doesn't work well for lower levels). Although you don't have to limit yourself to light armor, which opens up even more options... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until a magic sword is found, I'm sure a lvl 1 character could dip a sword in flaming oil, wouldn't you agree? -Krztoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubbdog Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I dont know what class to suggest, I was just going to comment and say that the Battle Troll is huge. You would have a hard time fitting in doorways with that thing and would cut out a lot of your fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Snack Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 D&D has rules for "squeezing". It basically costs you twice the movement to get through an area that would be 'too small' for you. Until a magic sword is found, I'm sure a lvl 1 character could dip a sword in flaming oil, wouldn't you agree? True, but that would use up a lot of oil if you wanted to keep it lit all the time... ; ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuaslater Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 @Evilbob--I always start with the miniature, then create a character. I know, some people hate that, others do the same. Regarding 20 levels--what a drag, I lose interest simply because there's another cool mini out there. So, what I suggest is you play some sort of Doppleganger, able to assume different shapes, etc., to basically imitate something over twenty levels of what I would call drudgery. Just think, you see another cool model, paint it up, and your character assumes that form. 'Lot easier than suiciding your character every few weeks like I always try to do.

Ranger Man Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 The scatterbrained young mage to the senile old wizard progression works for me. rm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Would your DM allow a Dwarven Druid? I know it's "unusual" for a dwarf to be a tree-hugger, but somehow I suspect you thrive on being unusual. OR.. half-orc bard? Elven thief?
