Meh, I don't really have any good ones. I'll just play as some other race.

Okay, I'm going to play as a halfling. Any chance I could pay the 2960 GP that would be required to have reduce person and then permanency cast on me?

[MasterofFates]

Also, going to go ahead and try a reroll.

Going with this set.

[Dire Reverend]

Can I take Practiced Fighter? All it does is increase your BAB by 4 ONLY for meeting prerequisites, up to your HD. It does not raise your actual BAB.

[Eisen_Hammer]

If your paying for permanency go ahead. But if your paying for lvl 1 reduce person that is really easy to dispel.

Sure, you have to have fighter 1. I see no problem with practiced fighter.

I suppose I'll increase the CL on both of those to, say, 15th. That increases the net total to only 3400, and makes it a lot harder to dispel- thanks for the tip.

Too late! The feat already requires Fighter 1! Also it increases your fighter level too, but I'm not interested in that.

Edit: I dont think you gave an opinion about my spell Binding Pact. If everyone agrees before game start, could we have this spell affecting us all already? Edit x2: Derp. Just saw it.

[Eisen_Hammer]

I know like I said you have to be fighter 1.

My Sorcerer has Reduce Person on his spell list and Extend Spell feat. If you want to save a few grand, I wouldn't mind just casting it on you at the start of each day.

EDIT: Here's what my spell list is looking like-- just so we don't get redundant. Still working some things out, of course.
Level 1 - Charm Person, Magic Missile, Silent Image, Reduce Person, Expeditious Retreat [Knowstones: Protection from Good, Chill Touch, Grease]
Level 2 - Scorching Ray, Invisibility, Ghoul Touch, Protection from Arrows [Knowstones: Resist Energy, Spectral hand]
Level 3 - Haste, Hold Person, Vampiric Touch
Level 4 - Enervation, Shadow Conjuration

[Illithilich]

Baldred Feyblood, the Unseelie Knight. I'm pretty sure I didn't miss anything, but tell me if I did. I'll get some background up somethime tomorrow, right now I need to sleep.

[Dire Reverend]

Rosalyn, the Joystealer. I think all I have left to do is backstory, skills and equipment.

[Anecronwashere]

Posting Interest as a Lawful Evil (Borderline Lawful Neutral) Warblade.

The backstory is a former LG guard, pledged to destroy any and all Bandits (people who set up camps and rob on highways) and those who fund/supply them after he lost his entire team during a raid on their camp.

Traveling through the countryside looking to hunt and destroy them to avenge his teammates and his mentor's death. Even to the point of taking up his mentor's name relegating his own first name to surname status.

And, the road paved with good intentions and all that means he becomes a bitter young man, the only people surpassing his devotion being that of a Paladin to his deity and cause.

Background

Spoiler

At dawn the 14th day of Spring in the forest of Darkroot 12 years ago, my villagers knew nothing of their fate. We moved out into the fields, for it was planting season and there was precious little time before Summer came-- the plants must be firmly rooted to grow and produce the harvest we relied on so much.
I was not always Ialgo of Darkroot. Once, what seems an eternity ago, I was just Ialgo. The second son of Grack, I was never destined for something great, it seemed. But Fate saw that on that fateful day the Demon-Bear Arrkupalack's rampage would come upon us. We scattered from the fields, and one by one we were hunted down and eaten, until my father rallied the last of us by his home. The elders had told stories of his heroism in The Great War but as I grew such stories seemed distant and mythic. As he drew down from above our doorway The Spear of Grack, I believed that we were saved.
He led the men against the Demon-Bear, and one by one it struck them all down, and even my father was destroyed.
In my fury, it seems I took up the Spear of Grack and plunged it deep into the hide of the hideous Demon-Bear, and its dark blood spilled out onto me as it slashed at me. I gritted my teeth and pressed the spear in further, until in agony Arrkupalack spread its might wings, knocking me and my father's spear clear, and flew off into the sky.
Of the 120 villagers, only 70 remained alive.
Where the creature's blood struck earth, the crops were seared away and for 3 days and 3 nights the ground boiled and smelt of sulfur. My own arm, torn open by its mighty fangs, sizzled with the smell of rotting flesh for a week as the village healers tried desperately to clean the creature's blood from my own. I was hailed as Ialgo Arrkupalack-Ip, he who defeated Arrkupalack... and yet as I healed, I found myself stronger than ever before. I felt the dark power of Arrkupalack flowing through my veins, the dark influence of his magic giving me new thoughts and abilities.
The madness of power is insidious. Does evil know he is evil? I cannot say. It was harsh as new fire was burned into my blood, onto my hands. Headaches, at first, then clarity, then headaches and madness, then clarity again. They feared me. I feared myself. I had to save them.
In terror, I fled my home, vowing to destroy the source of this darkness within me. Since then, I have never returned to Darkroot. I need more power. I grow stronger with each year, gaining more and more of this borrowed strength. I need more power. I need it because I must find and slay Arrkupalack. I need more power. Arrkupalack is strong, and I must become strong ilke him. I need more power.I don't want this for me; I want to use this magic to banish itself. I need more power.

Ialgo has the following enemies:
Arrkupalack the Demon-Bear
Ialgo's brother Jan who left the village with the mission to cleanse his spirit of evil-- Ialgo is unaware of Jan's mission.
Silstoruss, a Red Dragon who Ialgo stole from.
Ialgo has the following allies:
Portize, an Imp who has a grudge against Arrkupalack who has bonded to him as a Familiar
Gheerdk, a Horned Devil who uses Ialgo as a pawn in his overarching villainous plans (Portize is his confederate)
Princess Mouna, who he incidentally rescued from the clutches of the Red Dragon Silstoruss while searching for a scroll about Arrkupalack. Her father is also grateful.

Personality:
Ialgo has days of Clarity, when he is conservative with his use of magic and soberly studies how to find and defeat Arrkupalack and free himself from the curse that imbued him with this evil magic. In Clarity, Ialgo is sober and does not delight in slaughter. He is willing to do anything, good or evil, to defeat the Demon-Bear.
He also has days of Madness, when he is aggressive and flamboyant with his use of his demonic sorcereries, and cares only for strength and the thrill of developing his talent. How he feels varies, and it is in Madness that he is most useful to his Demon puppeteers, for Portize whispers lies and manipulations into his ear and guides him to do the bidding of his masters.
Ialgo the Clear is aware that Ialgo the Mad sometimes is in command (and vice-versa)-- these are states of mind for him, not different sets of memories. Think of it as comparable to feeling angry and feeling calm. There's no identity crisis here. He just has times when his goals are subdued by the thrill of wielding demonic power within him.

wanted to ask for this class, the Demonologist. It's a Encyclopedia Arcane PrC that you can take as a 2nd level wizard. It's not to terribly broken, since all of the crazy demon summoning stuff I can do with the class features is actually up to you (you get to choose what names I find and can control, after all).

I would also ask if we could use the rituals for other creatures, such as the angels/devas/ect. (nothing is more evil than making an angel destroy a church, after all).

Link to book for casual glancing, and I'm happy to answer any questions you would have about it.

I'm almost finished.

Pelak Kilosi reporting for duty.
His equipment is standard guardsmen uniform, if used and enchanted more than normal.

He will object harshly to the needless killings of Bodyguards, Patrols or Guards. He doesn't so much care about innocents, but he hates seeing a dead body in uniform.

What about seeing an undead and/or emotionless body in uniform?

[Anecronwashere]

It's the act of dying.
An undead reanimated and given a Guard uniform is fine, a Guard killed for the sole purpose of getting another anonymous Undead is not. Thats what the Civilians are for

Hey! They're not anonymous! Rosalyn goes out of her way to name all of her children.

[Anecronwashere]

The name isn't the same as the original Guard's. So you killed a Guard.
Which is 1 of the 2 capital offenses in his very-twisted view
Though he would likely forgive you the first couple of times (if only because he knows he is killing more people with the party)

[Eisen_Hammer]

Good morning everyone. So as for the Demonologist I would say that is okay.

[blazinghand]

I suspect in their own ways, Pelak and Ialgo will get along quite well. Both have compromised a lot about themselves in pursuit of their missions. Ialgo loses sight of his end goal at times, but in his moments of clarity he will probably relate with Pelak's quest. Ialgo seeks absolution instead of revenge, but when you're wantonly slaughtering innocents these distinctions seem abstract.

Thinking of going with a necropolitan crusader...Tome of Battle doesn't specify the healing maneuvers from Devoted Spirit being positive energy, so I'd like to double check before I get it all on paper if they would be able to heal an undead party member. (kekeke)

Oh, I see Baldred also has a Ring of sustenance. I guess if we're travelling and need to make camp, there will always be someone awake. I'm not sure if Ialgo's -5 Spot and -5 Listen really count as "awake" though, since for example Pelak's listen check *while asleep* will be nearly as good at -7.
