#1 rypta Jul 29, 2009 20:20:26	So I saw this picture earlier today and decided immediately that I had to build a character around it. Right now I'm thinking either half-fey or feytouched elf. While I prefer half-fey mechanically, the wings don't work for me in this situation. Any templates or races I'm missing that might work here? As far as builds go, they're clearly warriors of some sort, so I was thinking some kind of martial or gish build using a glaive or a spear. Any ideas? A nature-themed gish?

Good call on the revenant blade. I'm surprised that PrC didn't cross my mind since I've been wanting to play one for a while now. Hood. I already play one in another campaign.:P I'm hoping to change things up a little bit.

#7 SylvanPrincess Jul 29, 2009 23:45:09	well these guys are called Nath's Elite. for some reason, MtG decided elves were going to have horns and hooves in this set. appearance-wise, id say satyr. also, for classes (and i dont know all the crazy prcs that yall know) id say scout/fighter
#8 darksamuari Jul 29, 2009 23:59:23	If you don't feel like going the elf route there's always the Killoren from Races of the Wild. But I also reccomend a swfit hunter build.
#9 dr_rocktopus Jul 30, 2009 0:04:03	They've always screamed half-fey binders with Magic in the blood to me. They do terrible things in the name of strange ideals, neh? They follow forgotten rites? They wear masks, have horns, I mean, perfect fit from my corner.
#10 SylvanPrincess Jul 30, 2009 0:38:05	where is half-fey located?
#11 emy Jul 30, 2009 1:44:55	where is half-fey located? Fiend Folio, I believe.

Thank you, I sure hope so! well these guys are called Nath's Elite. for some reason, MtG decided elves were going to have horns and hooves in this set. appearance-wise, id say satyr. also, for classes (and i dont know all the crazy prcs that yall know) id say scout/fighter If you don't feel like going the elf route there's always the Killoren from Races of the Wild. But I also reccomend a swfit hunter build. These ideas occurred to me also, but the more I look at the picture, the more I want to incorporate the use of magic into the build, and moreso than just abilities granted by a template. I'll have to check out the Killoren. They've always screamed half-fey binders with Magic in the blood to me. They do terrible things in the name of strange ideals, neh? They follow forgotten rites? They wear masks, have horns, I mean, perfect fit from my corner. I definitely like magic in the blood, though I have zero experience using the binder class. I like the sound of the concept though. What would a build look like? Also, wizards has template levels here for half-fey. Conceivably, that could get me some of the half-fey racial spells without needing to receive wings...
#13 dr_rocktopus Jul 30, 2009 15:10:08	I'm not sure, let me crack some books, perhaps. What ECL?
#14 rypta Jul 30, 2009 15:12:49	Any WoTC material is good to go. Dragon magazine stuff is DM's discretion. We'd be starting around level 6, going all the way up to 20.
#15 pyro_azer Jul 30, 2009 16:08:32	Fist of the forest seems like a good thematic fit.
#16 dr_rocktopus Jul 30, 2009 18:16:53	Wizard 1/ Binder 1/ Anima mage xxxx as per the standard early entry hack would be a lot of fun. T_G plays a similar build in one of my campaigns, and it's an incredibly cool character.

T_G plays a similar build in one of my campaigns, and it's an incredibly cool character. And what would the standard early entry hack be? As I said, zero binder experience. I also found the Vigilant Sentinel in Magic of Eberron that seems like a rather flavorful class to combine with Revenant Blade. Dimension leap screams Telflammar Shadowlord with it being being usable once per minute.
#18 hijaxx Jul 31, 2009 14:01:40	entry hack: improved binding, sanctum spell. now wasn't that easy? EDIT: damn i need to try this. one of my friends have game upcoming...
#19 rypta Jul 31, 2009 19:43:23	Is there a way to get into anima mage at level 3 without flaws?
#20 ikildkenny Aug 01, 2009 4:11:08	sure: lvl 1, Binder: improved binding, dummy feat lvl 2, sorcerer/wizard: retrain dummy feat for precaucious apprentice lvl 3, animamage (entry via sorc): take versityle spellcaster and retrain precaucious apprentice for heigten spell
