Keebler 04-12-05, 12:34 AM	I had an idea the other day for a character, and I thought that it might be post-worthy. BAB and save were calculated by adding fractions, abilities are elite array, hit points are rolled. Lee Harvey, The Grassy Gnoll Medium Humanoid (gnoll) HD: 5d8+3d4+3d6 (79 hp) Init: Speed:30 AC: 20 (+1 dex, +3 deflection, +1 natural, +5 leather) BAB:+8/+3 Attack: +11 melee (1d8+1d6 cold+4) Full attack:+11/+6 melee (1d8+1d6 cold+4) Space/Reach:5/5 Special attacks:- Special Qualities: Darkvision 60, animal companion, nature sense, wild empathy, woodland stride, trackless step, Drift 1 (2), Drift 2, Ley lines +1, Spell Versatility 2, summon familiar Saves: Fort +9 Ref +4 Will +10 Abilities: Str 14 Dex 13 Con 14 Wis 19 Int 12 Cha 6 Skills: Listen +9 Spot +9 Handle Animal +12 Knowledge (nature) +15 Knowledge (arcana) +7 Spellcraft +12 Survival +8 Feats: Scribe Scroll, Skill Focus (handle animal), Magical Aptitude, Combat Casting, Improved Toughness Alignment: Neutral Languages: Common, Druidic, Gnoll Spells: Druid-5/4/4/3 Prepared: 0- Flare (2), Cure Minor Wounds, Detect Magic, Guidance 1- Cure Light Wounds, Entangle, Obscuring Mist, Produce Flame 2- Bull's Strength, Barkskin, Summon Swarm, Warp Wood 3- Cure Moderate Wounds, Call Lightning, Sleet Storm Wizard-4/3/1 In Spellbook: 0- all 1- Shield, Mage Armor, Enlarge Person, Magic Missle, Burning Hands, Color Spray 2- Melf's Acid Arrow, Scorching Ray Prepared: 0- Acid Splash, Ray of Frost, Touch of Fatigue, Resistance 1- Shield, Enlarge Person, Color Spray 2- Scorching Ray Possessions: 2295 gp, +1 frost Longspear, +3 leather armor, 2 Potions of Cure Serious Wounds, 4 Potions of Cure Moderate Wounds, 1 Potion of Invisibility, 1 Potion of Fly, Ring of Protection +3, Ring of the Ram (46 charges), Wand of Magic Missile (5th level, 48 charges), Periapt of Wisdom +2, Bag of Tricks (tan), Heward's Handy Haversack Yappers, dog animal companion 23 hp AC: 17 (+1 size, +3 Dex, +3 natural) Init: +3 Speed: 40 Attack: Bite +5 melee (1d4+2) Abilities: Str 14 Dex 17 Con 16 Int 2 Wis 12 Cha 6 SA- SQ Low-light vision, scent, link, share spells, evasion, tricks (Attack, Defend, Track, Guard, Seek, Down, Fetch), SV Fort +6 Ref +6 Will +2 Skills: Jump +10 Listen +7 Spot +7 Feats: Alertness, Track, Weapon Finesse CR: 12 Things from non-core books: Drift 1: Lee has 2 stage 1 geomancer drift, giving him green, bushy eyebrows and a short mess of vines for hair. Drift 2: Lee has 1 stage 2 drift, making him sprout leaves and photosynthesize, allowing him to subsist on water and 1 hour/day of sunlight instead of food. Ley Lines +1: Lee has an effective caster level of one higher when in plains. Spell versatility 2: All of Lee's spells of up to second level choose the best possible parameters between arcane and divine casting. For example, Lee's wizard spells don't suffer arcane spell failure and use his high wisdom modifier for his save DCs (like his divine spells). Improved Toughness Prereq: Fort base save +2 Benefit: You gain +1 hit points every level. Lee Harvey was one of the shining stars of his tribe. He was more intelligent than most, and was the only tribe member that knew how to work with animals. He always loved his animal friends, and cringed whenever he was forced to eat them by his tribemates. He soon grew tired of the constant hunt for animals to kill, and left his tribe for better things. He was soon found half dead by a kindly wizard who saw that he wasn't quite as bloodthirsty as most gnolls, so he was taken in. Lee soon found that he had quite an aptitude for the arcane arts, but after 5 years of service to the wizard, Lee made a fond farewell and went looking for a pursuit where he would be closer to his beloved animals. In his wanderings, he found a wounded dog, whom Lee nursed back to health and named Yappers. A druid noticed this kind act and approached Lee about joining the Druidic order. Lee excitedly joined, and soon began to notice some peculiar synergies between arcane and druidic magic. He then began down his path towards Geomancy. As he became more and more in tune with the earth, he began taking on a more plantlike appearance. He now protects a strech of plain that he has made his home. He has a small hollow that he has turned into his den, where he keeps his gold and any extra equipment that he seels to passing traders. He has gained quite a reputation in the area, and people who know of him will allow him to speak before attacking. A few miscreants and misled do-gooders still come to provoke the anger of this now-powerful druid. Anyone that passes near with intents on hunting or otherwise harming his beloved animals must face the wrath of the Grassy Gnoll. Combat: Lee always tries to warn people before attacking them, but if they don't heed his warning, then within 5 minutes he will come back with several spells cast on him, ready for combat. His main suite of buffs is Shield, Barkskin, Bull's Strength, Enlarge Person and Guidance. Once battle is joined, he tries to flank an opponent with Yappers. If one opponent goes down and more remain, Lee uses Yappers to distract any spellcasters and begins unloading with his attack spells, starting with call lightning and moving down the spell levels until at least one other opponent is down. If more remain, he uses his ring of the ram to attack one, and continues with more attack spells, including his wand of magic missiles. If he seems to be faring poorly, he commands yappers to run, casting his most powerful remaining healling spell on the dog, then using his potions of invisibility and fly to run away and regroup.
