Re: I am bored and like building characters 3.5
if there is any creature with a natural attack that uses swords then yes. I believe there is....
Keeper is one. Keeper has the ability mimic which allows them to grow any weapon they have ever witnessed out of their body and attack with them, it specifically counts as natural weapons and manufactured weapons (akin to monk unarmed strike) so thus would be growable via Warshaper. Interesting.
Also just letting people know, its going to take me a little while to get back to this again; a new competition has reared its head and begs me to put my skills to use in the competition. Once I'm done (probably soon) I'll get back to your regularly scheduled builds. Most likely starting off with another of the picture builds!

Lets break this down bit by bit! Incarnate 4, increases your soulmeld’s essentia capacity by 1. This means we can eventually put 5 essentia into the Therapeutic Mantle. Which means +10 healing every time it ticks. It also gives us ⅘ essentia that we need to fill the mantle. We also get some maneuverability from our bound soulmeld. Crusader 1 gives us Crusader Strike and Martial Spirit. So by level 5 we have our basis. Whenever we hit something we heal ourself for 2+2+2*essentia, this sets us up for the end game to heal ourself for 84 points of damage if we hit with all our strikes + haste. Fighter, we needed feats, we needed BAB. Enough said. And now Soldier of Light! Lovely prestige class. You get turn undead, you get smiting (more on that later) and you get the fun Energon Companions. They sit back and heal you for 1d8 (they need a ranged touch to hit you) or 1d6 (they just touch you) each round. They can boost that to 3d8+5 or 1d6 + 2d8+5 5 times per day. That means when they both snipe you from 120 ft away with their rays they heal you for a total of 2d8+24 each round (averages out to 33 healing/round) We also got ourself fast healing 1, buecase we don’t heal enough. Now we grab levels in ordained champion. 2 of them. For Smite. Smite is a fun ability that lets us turn our Turn attempts into Smite attacks using our turning level for bonuses to damage. 3+cha mod smites/day, grab a nightstick and you got yourself 7+cha mod smites/day. We aren’t dumping Cha (of course we need all our stats so…. We’re screwed in that department). These smites let us deal additional damage to any creature, and let us trigger Awesome Smite. Which gives us free trip attempts on those that we smite! YAY! Contemplative is there to give you whatever domain you want to stick onto this. And our final level of crusader gets us the better strike that heals someone (forgot what its called, doesn’t matter to much since its a standard action to activate.
So you have two kusuri Gamas, which are 1H spiked chains (keeps the reach and striking adjacent, and the bonus to trip or disarm). Allowing you to strike with your offhand weapon for more healing. You have Improved Trip and Knockdown to increase how much people are knocked down. You have awesome smite to allow you to trigger knockdown more often, and get more attacks (because you smite them, then get to trigger awesome smite’s knockdown and knockdown) and then get to hit them again.

Re: I am bored and like building characters 3.5
Yay for splitting up the last 5 levels, that isn’t at all confusing. First 15 levels: Your a sorcerer with 1 spell level down. However you traded it to allow you to use a dragonbreath attack. Cool I guess. Oh wait what are we going to do to that. Using Arcane Preparation and Earth Spell you can heighten a spell from 0 to say 3rd. When doing this you boost your CL by 3, but it is counted as a 4th level spell. Meaning if you burn an acid splash heightened to 3rd level you deal 12d6 damage with your breath attack. Not as cool as a fireball, but still flexible. Doing the same thing and heightening an acid splash to 9th level pushes it up to a 10th level spell and lets you cast it at caster level 27. Sacrificing it allows you to deal 30d6 with a breath attack. That is a scary breath attack. Honestly I would have changed your last 5 levels from one of the alchemist classes to a full casting progression class and grabbed metabreath feats. And yes this scales into epic! Each epic feat you take you get the feat that gives you an extra spell slot at your highest spell slot level +1. Earth Spell allows you to boost your caster level into the stratosphere (example: Disintegrate Heightened to a 9th level slot deals 42d6 damage on a failed save, or can be dropped for a 30d6 aoe breath attack, with a metabreath like maximize it does 180 damage to anyone in your breath’s area or an average of 147 with disintegrate). You are a sorcerer with 9th level spells with a slight emphasis on Charm spells (you can take that if you choose to, or change your draconic heritage).Spoiler: stub

On to the alchemist classes! Alchemist Savant is an eberron class through and through. It may not be usable depending on your DM, however the same is not true for Master Alchemist. Alchemist Savant gives you the ability to bottle your single target spells and use them as thrown weapons, and you can combine them with poisons or alchemical concoctions if you are so inclined. Master Alchemist allows you to create the buff potions of higher level spells which is more traditional alchemy.

Re: I am bored and like building characters 3.5
There's a feat in Dragon Magazine #351 which might be useful on this build:
Spoiler: Dragonmarked Sorcerer
You possess greater magical versatility than most of those who share your dragonmark.
Prerequisite: Member of appropriate dragonmarked race and house, does not possess an existing dragonmark, sorcerer level 1st.
Benefit: Add all sorcerer spells from your dragonmarked house's least, lesser, and greater dragonmarks to your list of known spells, even if you are too low of level to cast them yet (you cannot cast these spells until you are of the appropriate level to do so). You also gain a physical dragonmark, although this does not provide you with spell-like abilities. Initially, this resembles the least dragonmark of your house. When you gain the ability to cast a spell replicating the power of a lesser or greater dragonmark, your mark changes to the appropriate shape and size.
Special: Once you take this feat, you may not take Aberrant Dragonmark, Greater Dragonmark, Least Dragonmark, Lesser Dragonmark, nor may you take this feat if you already have one of these.
Also, you can get Draconic Heritage as a bonus feat as a level 1 Sorcerer using the Dragonblood Sorcerer racial sub level (from Races of the Dragon), I think that racial sub level + Silverbrow Human (Dragon Magic) might save you a Flaw.I want you to PEACH me as hard as you can.

Re: I am bored and like building characters 3.5
Well the breath weapon upcasting is really nice.
Also the feats have some potentially great synergy with Shadowcraft Mage, assuming you abandon your humanity in favor of gnomish glory (and abandon alchemy in favor of illusions). That fails the request since it's got no particular alchemy, but it's a nice & somewhat novel combo for a Sorcerer.I want you to PEACH me as hard as you can.

Re: I am bored and like building characters 3.5
If you're still taking requests, I'd like a dirty cleric. Human, Sacred outlaw feat, Cleric/Rogue multiclass, convinces people he's a humble and pious cleric and scams them. Wealth and Trickery domain. PrCs that fit the theme are acceptable.

Re: I am bored and like building characters 3.5
Dunno if youre still taking requests, certainly no rush, have an inkling to play an earth genasi lesser planetouched duergar fighter/cleric/battlesmith/divine agent/elemental warrior. Or something along these lines, greathammer/throwing hammers, medium armor was basics of what im thinking. Going for a thematic build personally, but would like to see what someone with better optimization and greater knowledge than i would do. Again, no rush, thanks in advance if you get to it.
Edit: cleric of grumbar, domains of earth and metal, then pick up time domain as divine agent was what I was thinking.Last edited by DwarvenWarCorgi; 2018-07-08 at 04:27 PM.

Re: I am bored and like building characters 3.5
I have a fairly simple one if you're still doing requests.
I need a cultist of Zuggtmoy as a bad guy for my E6 game, CR around 3 or 4. I'd like him to have some sort of gimmick to make him a bit more memorable but inspiration hasn't struck. He'll be accompanied by a Yellow Musk Creeper and maybe a few plant "zombies".

Re: I am bored and like building characters 3.5
I've got one for you, with plenty of details:
Ninja Spy 4 (from OA p43). No more levels in this PrC, no less.
It must be a jumplomancer ninja who jumps instead of flying (perhaps using some kind of spider climb ability to stick to walls). Tumble will likely also be important to be able to jump+tumble through occupied enemy spaces without provoking. Tiger Claw and Shadow Hand maneuvers might be in order based on these requirements, but that's up to you.
If you're looking for a theme: brutal, Ninja Assassin (the movie) style.
No real optimization limitations, just don't make a character that's not within theme. Dark Chaos feat shuffle the exotic weapon proficiency feats if you want or make a pact insidious with the devil. The world is yours.
The challenge? Try to stuff in as many "ninja" themed skills and abilities (for intelligence, espionage, etc.) as you can while remaining optimized for combat. I'm thinking Hide and Move Silently at a bare minimum (just because of how powerful the Rules Compendium made it), but I don't really care where you go from there. You don't even have to make sneak attack the primary source of damage (it could be a spiked chain tripper if you want).
I'm partial to psionics and martial initiators for something like this, but you don't have to do either of them. Give it your own flavor if you want or think of something better.
Some ideas:
- Control Light power to make sure there is always some kind of shadow to use Hide in Plain Sight with.
- Maybe a "shadow buddy" that can help flank.
- If you go the sneak attack route, have a way to get around immunities.Last edited by Sleven; 2018-07-10 at 11:57 PM.

Re: I am bored and like building characters 3.5
What do we have here???? 13 claw attacks? 2 slams? 1 bite? 7 Unarmed Strikes? 28 negative levels in 1 round? Alright, but it has no monk levels, it can’t possibly have good unarmed damage… wait whats this? Naked it has a 2d10 punch?!? But no honestly. Every unarmed strike you do can add claw damage or slam damage as well. Meaning 2d10+1d4+str mod. This does not keep you from doing claw attacks or slam attacks as well. So we have 4 iteratives on your unarmed strike. Brawler Barbarian grants TWF specifically for unarmed strike so it should allow us a fifth strike, and Circle Kick pushes up over to 6 Unarmed Strikes. Each of these adding either claw or slam damage as well. Totemist grants us 4 additional claws. Finally since you can make an unarmed strike with any part of your body (most likely your feet) means that your hands are free, to use either 2 claws or 2 slams. I suggest claws as due to Claws of the Beast your claw attacks always use full str mod. Meaning your attack sequence is: +13/+13/+13/+8/+3/+11/+11/+11/+11/+11/+11/+11 and if any of the first 6 hits you get a final +13. Damage is 2d10+1d4+str/2d10+1d4+str/2d10+1d4+str/2d10+1d4+str/2d10+1d4+str/2d10+1d4+str/1d4+str/1d4+str/1d4+str/1d4+str/1d4+str/1d4+str/+1d6+½ str/2d10+1d4+str. Finally every single one of those attacks do 2 negative levels, grant you 5 temporary hit points, and 1 soul point which can be used for a variety of things. With barbarian you get pounce, however sometimes, you think its cheesy, or not the combat style you wish. So if you would prefer you can go Bear Totem Barbarian to get Improved Grab instead! And you are a savage grappler. You are also a swordsage with second level maneuvers in Tiger Claw. You have skill points enough to be a skill monkey, however without the relevant skills your most likely going to focus on tracking, and awareness, however you have a good selection of skills. Finally you are a savage. I believe this embodies the Neutral Evil Totemist very well.Spoiler: stub

Re: I am bored and like building characters 3.5
If you're still taking requests, I'd like to ask for a couple of things actually.
Firstly, something that would be a good counter to a broken as hell Tome of Battle Warrior/Psionic/Doohikey that can use his Concentration for combat and basically smack stuff down without breaking a sweat. :p
Also, some sort of non-Drow spider based character (likely a Druid I guess, though I miss the class kits from 2nd Ed). :p
Something that's all about spider pet, spider spells (like making lots of them crawl all over the place, explode from people, etc).
My wife's horribly arachnophobic. And I'm an ass. :p

Re: I am bored and like building characters 3.5
If you still having fun with these, I had a char idea i was interested in seeing put to paper (pixel?) by some one with more skill then me, its technically a replacement char if my current game char dies,
Pixie sorcerer, as a spell-warp sniper, I'm thinking a lot of explosions like the type that could be used to assault the keep of the Big bad as well as fight a single target, maybe some utility, but offense would be the main focus of this blaster,
Any extra classes are free for you to choose, Silly things are always appreciated because if your not having fun, then whats the point :D
lets say an alt setting my GM was thinking of, the world ended sorta, villages, some city's remain, lots of dumb undead roam about,
Any 3.5 books are cool other then homebrew,
GM has a house rule that for every 2 flaws we get one extra feat.
And SR is pretty much 0 unless a class ability,spell or feat gives it to a person/monster
and if any one is wondering, this came from the idea came from my current char as well as the fact that a pixie as a siege gunner amused me to no end, little pixies in combat helmets kinda made me giggle yes,Last edited by caddmus; 2018-07-29 at 02:10 PM.

Oops. Aggressive predictive text messed me up. Make that spell completion items. Scribe martial script needs to be on the build... I've been messing with this for days and keep on getting option paralysis.
Scribe martial script has a prereq of crusader or swordsage 1st level.

Re: I am bored and like building characters 3.5
Honestly? I just like the concept of the sorc, and though a lot of my char's tend to be at least more or less usable they tend to lean heavy on concept more then anything, I like wizards, but the idea of just inherent power just strikes me, as well I always viewed the difference between wizard and sorcerer like the difference between an engineer and an artist, have them both build a statue, and even if it looks the same, the reasons for every detail will be unique to there world view, youj know, one learns magic, the other feels magic type of thing,

Re: I am bored and like building characters 3.5
Thurbane, I give up. My idea was to use a combination of landforged walker, a non druid base, and Verdant Lord. I wanted to get you the plant type, but I couldn't do it. I couldn't get you the plant type without messing everything else' appearance up. I've tried ~20 builds. My wife got tired of me trying and told me to just give it a break. That's why it has been a while since I've posted. I love the challenge, but in this one I have lost the idea.

Re: I am bored and like building characters 3.5
When I saw this it got me thinking along the lines of some sort of wooden Effigy Creature (CA 151) subjected to Awaken Construct (SC 21) maybe with levels of Warshaper or something like that. While I know Thurbane mentioned a plant race, it looked more carved to me than natural.
I even considered the novelty of a wooden Effigy Creature (Warforged) at one point.“No matter how subtle the wizard, a knife between the shoulder blades will seriously cramp his style.” ― Steven Brust
