I have recently gotten my hands on Races of Destiny, and there-within, the Chameleon Prestige class, and as the campaign is to start at Lvl 9 (the level of the party at TPK), I figured I'd try my hand at it. (Rogue5/Chameleon4) So, my basic character concept (Race && Class approved by DM) is a Chameleon (RoD) Changeling (ECS) with Multiple Personality Disorder. The personality changes every day, and so does the ability focus. Each personality remembers the events that happened under the previous personality's... 'watch', only slightly modified as if it where the personality who did it. So, if the day before, while in his (or her) Mage personality, instead of remembering finishing off the ogre with a scorching ray, he would remember it as himself finishing off the ogre with a mighty swing of his longsword. Each personality would have a different appearance, as per the Changeling racial ability. The group is starting off as already having adventured with each other for a while and are used to this quirk, so it should cause few conflicts... Unless, of course, the lady the town guard went to bed with last night turns out to be a dude the following morning... heheheh, but that isn't too directly concerned with the party ;) The basic personality types would be essentially the core classes represented by the Aptitude focus: Rogue, Wizard, Cleric, and Fighter. Just for the sheer fun of it, I'm thinking of having two of the personalities be female (Most probably the Rogue and Wizard). What I would like some help with from you guys is some refinement and suggestions for the personalities of each of the different aspects of this character: Rogue: CG. Crafty and usually opts to join into a fight if it is to her advantage. Highly sarcastic with a dark sense of humor, but a fun person to go drinking with. Wizard: True Neutral. Absent Minded Professor comes to mind. Very intelligent, and rarely to speak, but when she does, it usually is of high importance and it generally to one's advantage to heed her advice. Sagely and Introverted at the same time. Cleric: LG. Outspoken advocate of his religion, a loud, proud man. Hasty to jump to decisions, and sometimes a little too trusting. A little naive, but won't hesitate to help an unfortunate person in need. Fighter: LE. A Deceptively happy man with dark motives. The least often personality to surface, but the oldest (The original personality. Went mad for a reason I have yet to work out... Ignore the starting 5 levels in Rogue ;) ) Any suggestions or comments are welcome. Keep in mind, this is just the rough sketch of what the character will end up as. Thanks! :)

Do you think that crazy divination teacher, Sybill Trelawney is enough absent-minded to be this character? ;) OTOH, the rogue could be a sexy and flirtarious woman, who believes herself to be a princess and everything should belong to her. She could be in love with the Naive Male Cleric, whom she briefly saw the reflect of in the mirror one night, but would be desperate that she can't learn more about him... About the Fighter, perhaps does he remember beginning his carrier as a thief or scout, hence a few rogue levels... Or perhaps was he your character when he was young, and this cold deceptive teenager began to phantasm about a pretty and crafty rogue, up to becoming this pretty and crafty rogue. I suggest you to use an Handy Haversack, with sections reserved for each personality. This way, the fighter wouldn't be surprised to find an Holy Symbol of Pelor, a Wand of Magic Missile and a black cloak beside his greatsword...
