Hey all I am creating a back-up character for our Dragonlance campaign and I created a 1rogue/9 warlock and the concept is an information gather by both stealth and Intimidating. The only is I can not find the right race for him. All core books plus Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance (of course) are allow but Eberron is not. I am looking for a race intimidating, spooky and creepy all at once. Any suggestions?

Thanks

If you can fudge I think Dragon Magic(Possibly something else, I am not too sure), there is a evocation that allows you to wield Elbritch Blast as a Glaive.

If you do that and use Evocations such as Walk in Shadows that don't require a save, Tiefling would work despite the CHA hit. Give it scaly oozing skin and you'll be creepy enough. They're sorta the obvious choice for creepy evil class, through you do take a hit in what evocations you can use.

Otherwise, an evil spellscale, if you can swing Races of the Dragon. Scaly skin, kinda weird looking. Put on some creepy outfit(Nothing says creepy quite like human/orc/elf skin. Or unicorn skin, if you can find one), handle some knives, tada. Spellscales are not creepy if you know what they are like, but who will? I suggest one that is VERY interested in knowing what makes people tick, and takes time to dissect and study things.

If neither work, just make a human look intimidating. Ritual scarring and tattoos might work. So what if they don't do anything? It might be a part of his culture or religion or even cult. (Not familar with Dragonlance, honestly. An evil dragon or religious leader might decide to do it to brand their minions is the best option I can think of)

If you have spare feats, grafts from any evil, undead, devilish/demonic or dragon book should work.

Dude, thank you... You reminded me about grafts... I completely forgot about them.
