03-27-04, 11:59 PM My UA book is STILL lost in the mail, although Amazon assures me it's "on the way." I didn't mind at first because we were still running an older campaign. However, I now have the oppertunity to run a new campaign, and have known about it for a month. I really wanted to play as a human paragon, but the campaign starts tomorrow (every sunday afternoon) and I need help. What does the class offer? I wouldn't ask if it wasn't OGL. Thank you for your input. Sorry about the big lame excuse though.

03-28-04, 04:54 PM Thank you very very much. However, I was under the impression they got two caster levels also... oh well. So much for that build huh? Otherwise very nice. Very very nice. Thank you again.

03-28-04, 05:14 PM They do get caster level increases which, I believe (book is actually in the car) are at levels 2 and 3 of the class (the drow being the only paragon that gets a caster level increase at 1st paragon level).

I think the class has some nice possibilities. I have actually paired it with the Half-Elf (which can take levels in both classes but only gets one caster leve increase at 2nd level).

Both classes have unnamed ability boosts of +2. So, unlike the other races which specify where the increase must go, the human and half-elf are ideal if you are going to make a character which is charisma based (I wanted the charisma as part of an ocular adept build). Another nice trait of the half-elf is a +2 bonus to all charisma-based skills (quite nice, depending on the social interactions of some campaigns).

03-29-04, 12:21 AM Thank you both very very much. I was able to take Battle Sorcerer at level one(we started at level 3) and two levels of Human Paragon for my character. It turned out to be a very good night of gaming. Not 100% sure on what level gets what benefit, but we just add-libbed. The DM is very liberal with stuff like this, so it all worked out okay. She just said I had to take the next level as Human Paragon and it would all work out. :)

03-29-04, 12:47 AM machiel pretty much put the three special abilities in order at the end of his post.

the rest is stuff you get every other level.

oh, and the last 2 levels are the ones with spellcaster progression.
