Ok. Character submitted. Human Hexblade 5/Lasher 3. Don't count on him for arcane support though, he only has two spells known and two casts per day.

Specializes in the whip-dagger. Can sneak attack, cannot trap find or lock pick.

*evaporates*

Should have said 34 point buy, max hp per level.

What the heck is a hexblade/lasher?

I have the 3.5 players handbook - that isn't in it, is it?

if it isn't a rogue or mage type, is it a fighter type? But with a sneak attacky twist?

Hexblade is a base class from one of the Complete series... adventurer or warrior, I forget which at the moment. Its a weak fighter that trades in bonus feats for light spell progression. REally light. But can cast with off hand while wearing light armor, and has a neat class ability.

Lasher is a prestige class from Sword and Fist. It's a class specializing in whips and whip-daggers, and gains class abilities necessary to make those weapons really usable. It gains a low sneak attack, and mainly just buffs the whip.

*evaporates*

And here I was thinking I might stick to boring old players handbook classes.

Just stay away from Erotic Fantasy.

And please don't make me learn incarnum

That book was... enlightening. Also, ew.

Standard classes are nice.

BUT A STANDARD CLASS DOESN'T LET ME SNEAK ATTACK FROM FIFTEEN FEET AWAY WHILE PRETENDING TO BE INDIANA JONES.

Clearly, one of these is superior to the other.

Tann,

Here's an idea for a two-weapon fighting, woodland elf warrior.

Enjoy,

You crazy Ayrn, 4 concepts and a rough mock for someone else? I love it.

Chess and Shield have tentative sheets in, gonna review when less hungover but look good. So we've got a Whip Fighter and Druid so far. Looking forward to the rest of them!

Ayrn that character looks sweet! Love those class combos

Character looks good from what little I know about 3.5 but still a major question is do we have a healer in the party? Hate to have a great character die because no healer. But if we do have one or a way to keep us healed as needed then yeah I'll play the above

I have tried to run a human sorcerer that is focused on flame magic before and had the games fizzle, so I want to give Sirion another shot. So that is what I am working on, pretty basic stuff from the Players Handbook, but a character I like. Work in progress.

The more basic the less I have to remember! All classes are welcome, and given how often in he past my PCs committed loosely justified pyromania, I suspect you're in the right spot.

Any suggestions on where to look for wizard/sorcerer spells besides just the PH? Those are kinda bland and I'm looking at someone who is kinda flame oriented.
