#1 zoraker Dec 24, 2009 11:28:25	alright this character for my party is a head ake for me to create tho i think it could be done and i need some help with it. to explain i have made a commander that will keep my party in line. he is multiclassed into every class(having all the muticlass feats as if they were all one class) and has access to every power out their. note this does not include the monk, or assassin or anything els with out a multiclass feat. the stats for this character is str:18 con:18 dex:16 int:18 wis:18 cha:16 the character is at lv 8 the party has one striker, controller, defender and leader so if any one is up for the challange the character has two kukri for melee weapons that do lighting damage challange: come up with a set of powers for this character for me. the powers may be from any class and the character must be up to his level. note: if you take this challange get ready to peal you eyes out because i think it is iether inpossible or extremly hard. plus do think of some sort of role that will help my party

#3 The-Magic-Sword Dec 24, 2009 12:20:09	i'm going to go ahead and hope this is jsut a mental exercise and not a serious character.
#4 zoraker Dec 24, 2009 12:30:35	well as i said up above this is a real character im putting in my game lol actually that would also be a good idea to keep to twin strike stratigy lol but the challange is still open for those that are crazy enough for it

#6 zoraker Dec 24, 2009 18:07:52	yep im the dm and this is a personal character for me to run as a npc so far it looks like people are shocked at this character lol
#7 jetshield Dec 24, 2009 18:21:46	It's a little extreme. My concern is mostly for the "keep my party in line" part.
#8 zoraker Dec 24, 2009 18:32:24	nah its not the chop the head off the party extreme lol its more like so they dont burn down a nother city or attack another ally. the first advanture they went on they burnt the city down

Have you considered simply sending the armies and/or high level adventurers of the neihboring cities after the PCs, to ensure that no more genocide occurs? Also, lols in the middle of a sentence doesn't make your posts endearing, just annoying.

Easy. Therefore, he's not much of a leash if they don't want him to be. Second, if he's higher than the party, you can bet your bottom dollar they're going to buck at the idea of having such a leash. If you want the PCs to be under control, tell the players what kind of campaign it's supposed to be (I assume you want heroic, do-gooder types). Failing that, impose believable penalties on them as a direct consequence of their actions, rather than giving them a babysitter NPC. Having an NPC that you think of as "your character", who travels with the party, and who get special treatment because he's "yours", is going to end in tears, one way or another.
#11 zoraker Dec 25, 2009 8:47:51	well actualy i probly should tell you. this campainge is based off the dragon nashoins. and the war between the metalic dragons and the cromatic dragons and i need an npc to lead this squad. at one point at the end of this quest they are on now(based off the keep to the shadow fell) im gunna make them choose the side they want to serve and if they pertray the side they are on now(metalic dragon side) im gunna put this guy up againts them with alot of dragon militry backing him up. the character is 3 levels higher then the party always and has great gear because he is the squad leader and he is not the only one with specail treatment. the pcs have their shear of specail treatment anyway.
#12 jetshield Dec 25, 2009 9:34:41	If you're going to insist on this, you're going to have to be very careful how you handle it. There's a huge potential for creating anger/resentment among your players. Make sure you don't turn them into self-sustaining dice-rolling machines. Remember, the spotlight should be aimed at the PCs 90% of the time. NPCs can have dramatic moments, yes, but not when it'll take away from the PCs. Unless your group is far different than any I've ever played with, having an NPC (or DMCP) giving orders constantly is going to cause problems. If you push 'em too far, they'll walk.
#13 zoraker Dec 25, 2009 9:38:34	no no no you miss under stand this character is their to be a squad leader(not relly to tell the party what to do tho to help them stay alive tho if they choose to be evil then i will put the npc of mine up againts them as an enemy.
#14 Qube Dec 25, 2009 14:54:37	You're making an NPC ... why do you limit yourself to player mechanics, and don't use monster mechanics?
#15 pluisjen Dec 28, 2009 5:06:04	You want this guy to be able to anything, why are you using mechanics at all? He's a plot device, plain and simple.
