My HP rolls, three Rogue levels and three Warblade.

Here is my character sheet, still very much a work in progress.

Remuthra, how much would would a pet crow cost? Somebody of us need to sport a bird.
Also, as a Tiefling, is it okay if I get a bit excessive with her appearance, as long as I do not expect any mechanical bonuses from it? Like, for example, having clawlike fingers (but not enough to damage anyone). Though I was contemplating just having elongated nails instead (that start up by the middle knuckle). Arguably that would be more disturbing.

...It may have become apparent by now that I'm planning a bit of a bird theme for this here pirate.

I plan on taking a bird as an animal companion. I am a ranger.
And I have an albatross named Rime.  Maybe we should name our ships the Coop and Flock. 

OK, I think I've finally settled on a weight and height in default (mer) form. 

:/ I get a bad feeling that I'm less optimized than I thought I would be in this...Thirty-two shuriken. Every round. 320 shuriken per minute...And then he repeats it next turn.
It vaguely terrifies me that a massively-optimized shuriken-tosser is considered less optimized, now.

And good luck getting that many shurikens with all those enchantments as well :P

EDIT: Culise, it uses monk. OF course it isn't going to be too powerful even with that level of optimisation.

My character isn't the monk. The monk is at 20th level. I'm at sixth. I'm the Dragonborn Raptoran Scout who can fly faster than a horse runs. Which isn't saying much, granted.

See, that's the other part it takes advantage of, Taricus. Shuriken are treated as ammo for the purposes of making masterwork versions of them and getting special versions of them. Magic would fall under this. Meaning 50 of them cost the same as a normal weapon with said enhancements. You aren't even buying 50. So you pay 64% of the cost that anyone else would with their bow or gauntlet or whathaveyou.

EDIT: Also, though I don't know if anyone else is getting it either, but my character sheet's not with the rest. :( http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=694286

@Rolepgeek:
Honestly, you seem fine. You do two ranged attacks every round for 3d6 damage and you can fly. That's perfectly respectable.
@Culise:
It's a level 20 build, so obviously it's going to look impressive from the perspective of someone making a 6th level character. Level 20 'play' is a bad joke as far as balance goes.
@Taricus:
There are characters that would be improved by monk levels. For example, my character would gain a 4th attack, +2 to all saves and a spare feat by taking a one level dip in Monk.

True, but that just happens to be a dip, rather than a full commitment to it, so that probably changes some things.

You know, I've also considered setting up a level twenty or so game just for kicks.

Shuriken-Mini-Gun-Man would be happy to participate.

He should carry around an on/offable field of anti-magic. And probably banishing and/or dimensional anchor. All of his shuriken throwing abilities are extraordinary, after all, and he still has a pretty significant damage bonus with each. D1E WI24RD DI3!!1!

Just out of curiosity, what would be our challenge for a level 20 game? Fighting gods? :P

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

Fighting Gods is not a challenge at level 20.

Nope, too weak. You'd have to fight builds I find in the Munchkin sections of the wiki.

Your first enemy is a Hulking Hurler who can throw planets at you.

As he's thrown it, it counts as an (improvised) ranged weapon.  Monk 20, Deflect Arrows or Snatch Arrows feats. ^_^

An enemy tosses planets at you and you catch them. You proceed to start playing handball with the universe.

Yes.

Well, I guess the gods need some entertainment from time to time :P

Also, could we potentially set up settlements as well?
