04-19-05, 10:23 PM Hi...My name is Maryk....and in my next game I am going to play a intelligent construct (probably a shield guardian) I am going to be owned by a party member, but I'm going to be able to think for myself, I 'm trying to think of how I'd make those changes to make it more characterlike though. I'm wondering about levelling up classes, and general play...how will it work for alignment? would I be too much of a distraction? would it be unfair? and if so what would the level adjustment be? What should some of the changes be? Thanks

Warforged are nice, as are Maug from Fiend Folio. A construct character... potentially cool, potentially a PITA.

The best part of this?

You can add a ton of cool stuff to yourself at creation.

Give yourself a swim and fly speed, and an arm that's a reloading crossbow, four legs, blah blah blah...
