Any suggestions for a character class to use on an extremely powerful magician figure in D&D 3.5?

Wizard

Oh, wait, you know what? Never mind. I have the perfect idea.

?

[Tawa]

No, I just remembered a specific prestige class. Goes perfectly with the character I had in mind.

[TheBiggerFish]

Oh, cool.

I'm working on some fumble charts for skills, I'd appreciate some feedback on my first attempt:

Spoiler: 1d6 Handle Animal Fumble Chart (click to show/hide)

• Animal bites you, or otherwise attacks you for 1d4 turns.
• Animal falls asleep.
• Animal ignores you and wanders off. If bound, it escapes its bonds, within reason. It returns in 1d6 days. Searching for the animal does not speed up this process. On an odd roll, it returns pregnant, or with a pregnant mate, or the appropriate version for animals that do not give birth to live young.
• Animal completes the task in a detrimental fashion determined by the GM.
• You accidentally hurt the animal, damaging your relationship with it, and all of your checks to handle it are made at a system appropriate penalty until you improve your relationship with it.
• It shits all over you. You smell bad for 1d10 hours, or until you take a thorough bath. Charisma skill checks and Reaction rolls are made at the same penalty in 5. However, Handle Animal checks with the original animal are made with a bonus.

Eh...
I'd make that diplomacy rolls, not all CHA-based rolls.
Then again...I'm kind of the one playing a sorcerer in that campaign.

I'll change it to skill checks, then. Thanks for calling that out!

I don't like fumble tables. I also don't like results of "nothing you can do can speed up the process." Both seem needlessly antagonistic.

I see where you're coming from. If I made a critical table, would that help balance it out? And what do you think of the following change?

Animal ignores you and wanders off. If bound, it escapes its bonds, within reason. It returns in 1d6 days. If searched for, the animal turns up in 1d4 hours. Otherwise, on an odd roll, it returns pregnant, or with a pregnant mate, or the appropriate version for animals that do not give birth to live young.

Fumble tables are pretty damn hilarious, in my opinion.

Also, this thread! I've been meaning to post here for a while.
Went to a tabletop RPG meetup a while back, after not having played for at least a year or two.
Was pretty good, I was a bit nervous of course but I and a few other newcomers to the group played a bit of some casual homebrewed dungeon crawler. Certainly looking forward to joining an actual campaign within the group, they have multiple games going on at a time.

It was just good to be gaming again, mainly.

Yeah we've started pushing through company-made adventure paths...
Which actually makes me a little bit sad. All of our homebrew is on hold for the next many-years.
