I think I get it now. It refers to how easy it is for a skilled player to make them into a power house. In which case the one I'm planning on is on the lower end.

[Nerjin]

Protip: Type "Tier List 3.5" into google. It helps a lot.

Izalith the Dragon Shaman Archer lady… Person.

Stats rolled as you requested… They’re not the best… But I’m kinda liking it. Challenge accepted!

I haven't typed up any personality stuff but that's how they'll function in combat... Probably. Depends on how gold is determined.

I'll still be going for the glory hound who wants to be immortalized throughout history but is still a good person overall.

No. Power is part of it, but versatility is far more valuable; Tier 4 classes can still be built to kill just about anything in the game in one charge.

Before I go to bed I'll post what I have.

[sjm9876]

Stats rolled, posting here for reference when I get home:
STR 10, DEX 15, CON 10, INT 15, WIS 15, CHA 14

160 starting gold

[tryrar]

Huh, I might join in, let me just see what I roll first:

STR 16, DEX 14, CON 17, INT 12, WIS 11, CHA 6

Lol, typical melee char stats, down to the cha dump stat! I have an idea already for a mute knightly type, and even a custom knight class I'm using in Shonus's campaign(created by Lucus Cassius of this very forum). I'll post the link in a sec...

Here it is:True Knight.

Edit: Speaking of mute, would a custom flaw of exactly that(ie, Janik cannot physically speak, and no healing has been able to help) be allowed?

[tryrar]

Janik. Stats and equipment done, will get to flavor bits later

[sjm9876]

hmm.... would a gnome ranger be able to use a wolf animal companion as a mount? Purely for the awesome/fittingness factor rather than minmaxing.

[GiglameshDespair]

Because I forgot to mention it, one flaw and one trait is allowed.

Starting gold: Roll for it or take average. Do you feel lucky.... punk?

Can I make a character who is good if they're class is evil?

I've been wanting to try it for a while now...

What class?

And effectively, yes, the tier system is because some classes are simply much more powerful in utility than others.

Actually, I'm more in the mood for a sorcerer. Meet Robin Toma, the currently soulless blaster.

Some of the things I can see suggests the magic-blooded template is a relic from 3.0, and it seems very powerful as well for a measly -2 wis.

That might rather limit your RP with the other characters. Hmmm... I'm going to say no to the flaw. I'll have a look at the class in a minute and get back to you.

Only if the mount is a size class larger than you, I'm afraid.

What roll scale?

For each stat, roll 4d6, drop the lowest. You can swap two and reroll one. (I think that's how it's done, isn't it?)

[sjm9876]

Good thing Gnomes are small and wolves medium then

[kj1225]

Dread Necromancer.

[GiglameshDespair]

Dread Necromancer.

Go for it. Necromancy, though it normally is used by evil, is not, by itself, too evil. Most of the evil comes with enslaving souls and the like. Bare in mind, a lot of people won't like necromancy. It might be a little difficult to convince people of your good intentions when you're surrounded by a horde of ravenous undead. I'd also prefer you didn't focus on making a huge horde, since that's an exponential amount of effort for me to process things.

Good thing Gnomes are small and wolves medium then

Then it's your lucky day. Wolves don't need an exotic saddle, since they're practically the same as riding dogs.

[kj1225]

Yeah, I wasn't planning on making a huge horde either. My guy has a code of honor to uphold you know.

Also, a small thing from the book I noticed and disagree with, Osiris would be all for raising the dead if they would be doing what they did in life. That's literally what all Egyptians were preparing for with their death rituals.

[Flying Dice]

Res, maybe, if there's spots. Sheet in a bit.

There are a number of ways it is done. If you mean the default method from the player handbook, you roll 4d6-drop-one six times then assign each one to an ability score as you like. You get to reroll the whole thing "if you scores are too low" ("Your scores are considered too low if the sum of your modifiers (before adjustments because of race) is 0 or lower, or if your highest score is 13 or lower.").

Dread Necromancer.

Technically, Dread Necromancer isn't an Evil class, just non-Good; the book itself says most Adventurer Dread Necromancers are Neutral.

Then it's your lucky day. Wolves don't need an exotic saddle, since they're practically the same as riding dogs.

Except mechanically, where they're generally worse.

Unless I am vastly misremembering things, the Egyptians were planning to have an afterlife, not be Undead; considering they thought the state of the body impacted the state of the ex-tenant in the afterlife, I would imagine they would see turning corpses into murderous parodies of themselves powered by energy anethema to all life as utterly abominable.
