09-11-05, 06:48 PM I recently had a great idea for a charactor:

K'rullionus Manginos III (goes by Krull The Smash). Basicly he is a half orc wizard who is pretending to be a mindless half orc smasher. He's going to have with him a "Magic rock" which seems to cast spells at random, when it really is just a rock with magic aura cast on it and he casts the spells. I need some help picking his stats, skills and feats in order to trick the party into thinking he is, infact, just an idiot. And yes, i will not let them see the real charactor sheet.

So any takers to this challange?

Edit: oops! Forgot: Playing 3.5 edition, WotC books only. Thanks again.

If you can use Unearthed Arcana's Battlesorcerer, try The Battlesorcerer Gish Guide (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=205534).

Fun idea.
