Yes, I have ride. At the moment though, I'm hoping for wings of flying, which isn't a mount.

Note that there are two types of Figurine.

#1: The figurine turns into the creature. If the animal de-summons, it turns back into the figurine.

#2: The figurine summons the creature and remains. You pocket it and move on. If the animal de-summons it just disappears.

#2 is dramatically more worthwhile. I give you the Hot Lava Trap example.

Your animal is wandering along and falls in Hot Lava. It dies due to damage. If you have #1, it turns into a figurine which is now in the lava and which immediately melts. You are out One Magic Item.
If it's #2 the animal desummons and you can't summon it again for a week. Boo Hoo.

That said, there aren't really guidelines AFAIK for how much more #2 is supposed to cost.

I've discovered a potentially brilliant way to run the Giantlands. This should be fun.

[Akigagak]

Oh?

And godsdamnit, Galali's soul is being twisted around and around, putting him in endless pain.

((I have no idea what class I want to come back as.))

EDIT: Damn you, 2:20am, damn you.

[Neruz]

Yeah, the open game world just got opener.

[RAM]

Well, you could be a true necromancer for all your necromancy needs.
Or a thri-kreen soulknife for mystical stabbing...
Or a frenzied berserker because the party was just to stable before...
I had a barbarian 1 / cleric x with the strength and luck domains and the shock trooper feat once, that was mildly entertaining...

[Akigagak]

waitwaitwait.

Cleric exploitation aside, could I have a giant as Galali's new form, Neruz?

[Neruz]

Dread Necro is better than True Necro, True Necro sucks balls.

Dread Necros get to control rediculously gigantic hordes of Undead. I can also dig up some alternate Necro rules to allow you to upgrade your Undeads, based on the Homunculus rules for the Artificer.

--EDIT--

Unlikely Akig, the Giantkind Regeneration is obscene; i'm alright with CJ having Bull as his Cohort because i'm technically the one running Bull (which is also why he's a bit more powerful than your standard Cohort.) But giving it to a player would be silly as it would require me to come up with rediculous justifications just so i could hurt you.

[Akigagak]

Huh, I can't find anything that sounds like this 'dread necromancer' class in the srd, just a necromancer variant for wizard.

And I guessed that would be your answer.

[Neruz]

Dread Necro isn't from the SRD, it's from, uh, Heroes of Horror iirc.

[Akigagak]

HoH appears to be 3rd edition... but if you don't mind, can I look at those alternate rules?

[Neruz]

Go for it; most of the 3rd edition rules are perfectly usable in 3.5 anyway, and i'm not overly worried about balance, since it's impossible to balance 3.5 there's no point in trying.

[Heron TSG]

If I die, would a Minotaur Fighter be okay?

[Neruz]

Just about, remember that Minotaur will cost you 6 levels of Monstrous Humanoid though, so with the current starting level of 7 you'd only be a first level fighter.

[Akigagak]

I can't seem to track down those special rules, or are they homebrewed by you?
