Hey!

A friend of mine is DMing a campaign and wishes for me to join.

I'm a late joiner, 'bout one session behind I believe, and need a character idea!

He's giving 34 point-buy [a bit odd in my opinion], and my class level must be 1. He said I could have any LA, but did not mention Monster Class Levels, so I'm going to try and avoid them.

So people, any ideas..?

Wow, 34 points... is he starting you from -8 and using a scaled point system (something like:

8 -2
9 -1
10 0
11 1
12 2
13 3
14 4
15 5
16 6
17 8
18 10
)

As for the LA/CL bit, that seems a bit odd, almost as if he doesn't understand what an LA is.

What else is in the party?

Yeah, your DM seems a bit confused. A level one human is in no way equivalent with a level one minotaur. The point buy is also pretty generous.

Tell us a bit about the campaign world and what races & classes the other players are and we can give better feedback, as TMX said.

Actually, the PB is as follows;

8 - 0
9 - 1
10 - 2
11 - 3
12 - 4
13 - 5
14 - 6
15 - 8
16 - 10
17 - 13
18 - 16

I also forgot to mention what the party already consists of.

There's a Dread Necro, a Half-Fey Ranger, an Elan Telepath, and a Dromite Egoist.

The setting that I'd be joining in is the DM's own world he created, but it's post war now [the area I'd be travelling in]

He gives options for any race pretty much.

The being level 1 with any LA is just to give me some freedom I suppose, I being a more experienced player. Like I don't want to take it over board, keep it small, yet interesting, lol.

An interesting concept [I think it'd work], would be an Aasimar Monk polymorphed into a dog.

Makes for an interesting scene when a dog whoops the enemy into next thursday =P
