10-12-04, 02:36 PM No hurry on this request, however would love to hear any background story for this character in progress. More detailed = much better.

Crystal is the daughter of a Halruaan mage and a half-celestial clariec of Mystra. She lived most of her childhood in Halruaa, being exposed to the wonders and makings of magic since her birth.

Crystal always loved kids...and often visited orphanages to entertain the kids with minor cantrips during her schooling at the Church of Mystra.

Crystal is very intelligent and good-hearted, however she tends to have the attitude and outlook of a young child (giggles a lot, very curious in nature, tells little lies, etc.)
In more serious situations, like combat, she carries herself as a serious minded person who fears very little.

10-15-04, 01:07 PM What is a "Dweomerkeeper"? Is it a prestige class or a concept. Either way, could you explain? It sounds interesting.

Dweomerkeepers are the specialized cleric-mages, clerics, and mages devoted to a deity of magic.
More info is in the Complete Divine web enhancement on the WOTC website, or for a quick description...there is enough detail on the Cheater of Mystra thread under Character Optimization.

It seems like they would stay put at a given temple, thus requiring a strong home-base. What I'd be doing now would be devising a daily routine. This would then provide a good reference point for any adventuring. As the adventuring would disrupt the routine, the reaction to this could be used for some rather good role-playing.

Was looking for something more like a background story.
Guess I wasnt clear on my request (that is my bad), am looking to get a good background history on this character.

I havent thought of things like past loves (if any), rivals (if any), illegitimate or lost siblings (if any), etc.

Looking for ideas on any of these personalities in her life.

If you want someone to just write a background for you, you might be in for a long wait. Try to provide some more seeds and such; all we know now is that your character likes kids and has a burning desire to cast Limited Wish four times per day as a supernatural ability at no experience cost.

Check out the various guides to making a character, see what you can come up with, and post what you've got.

This one's pretty good: http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=176982

This thread's got some ideas: http://boards.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=326012

Personally, I try to come up with one key aspect of the character, work that into a core, then add other aspects that fit but might not be directly related. Another thing I sometimes do is start with an image or mannerism, then try to explain it, then expand from there. In your case, the love of kids might be a start. Why does she like them? Try to explain that; a good explaination of why she is that way will say a lot about her.

It's arguably the single most powerful PrC in 3.5. The classic build by Funny Slaughter, known as the Cheater of Mystra, can basically attain godhood at 13th level. You can find the original posting here:

Note that this build does not yet account for the Complete Divine errata on Divine Metamagic (which just changes the feat structure a bit), nor has it yet incorporated the more abusable bits of the newer books.
