I need this to work for RP reasons as I want to be sort of a Gandalf (who was a demigod outsider)type sent by higher powers to keep the prime in balance. This throws out Fernia though its options may be the most powerful. I also do not see the plane with eternal wars as appealing either ( first forgive that I forget the plane names I am at work) Basically I came down to two planes. A) The one that allows Angels (all) There is a nice 14HD for wich is the level I will be when I get the ability to become an outsider. And then there is the uber for in the distance Solar for all tha broken wish and permanancy goodness. B) The forest plane the one with all animals all vermin all elemental except fire and several nice guardinal forms. THis allows virtually any animal form to get celesial added to it and a few nice (though not quite angel good) outsider forms Opinions? Oh and my characters race is a "lesser assimar" (assimar with ecl +0 but not of the outsider type) pick on it all you like but my dm allowed it

However, Lamannia makes almost as much sense, if you link your character to the Chaotic Good djinn of the realm. Yes, Lamannia as the primal natural plane doesn't make quite as much sense as an interventionist good power, but there's already a link between protecting the Prime and druidic nature powers with the Gatekeeper Druids (which makes even more sense if you think of Lamannia as the plane opposed to Xoriat).

Yeah I view one as more direct as the angel forms (athough there is no delay...you can become outsiders at lvl 9 in the class...so I already qualify for one of the 3 forms aka 14th level 9th shepard) the plane of Lamannia might be more Radagast (one of the 5 wizards Gandalf Sauruman Radagast and the two blue wizards) I think I can make both work plotwise...I think its the forms that I am more wondering on.... Syrania has only 3 forms...but boy are those forms good the only comparable lamannia form is the leonal (guardinal) its nice to shoot a fireball every round and they fight hella good

However syrana it is due to a few factors. Campain is Sharn based. We have already deposed two radiant idols. I had already been working with celestials in the game so this class will mesh beutifully. will also be taking Keith bakers advice that there could be other sects. Mine will be a subsect of the gatekeepers, one that does not believe all outsiders must be defeated, but rather the darker ones. THat to fight the evil outsiders it only makes sense to ellicit the help of good outsiders.
