    For my next game I think I will make my main char a Psion (I'll just give him all the Mind Flayer abilities)

    I'd also like to have a Half Dragon :p

    Shadowkeeper is great for doing stuff like this :)

    Does anyone else have other cool char ideas?

    Oh, dude! You know what would be, like, a really cool idea? A drow ranger! And, he, like, would totally dual-wield scimitars. Oh, and he has to have, like, a panther companion. That would soo rox0rz!.

    ;)

    Without SK, it kind of limits unusual characters. No gnomish Paladins, no half-orc wizards. Pity. I have no idea if you can do that with SK or not.

    Here's some ideas:

    1. A Half-Beholder.
    2. A Chameleon (Shapeshifter, with loads of shifting options).
    3. A Goblin (too see how difficult it is to be weak and stupid at the same time).
    4. A Half-Golem (kind of like Frankenstein).

    Here's a couple, just off the top o' me noggin':

    A wereshark - use a Sahuagin avatar

    Here's a cool one: Ghandi! Use the peasant avatar, the one used for the bum in the skinner quest.

    For a monk, you could use the hooded library monks.

    Ellisime has a unique avatar as well.

    Don't know if these are any good or not...

    How about a half-drow/half-doppleganger? He/she could shapshift into other beings, but for only a limited amount of time.

    [​IMG] Half dwarf/half elf = gnome! :D :p :D

    A Nymph might be cool to play. Mage with TONNES of domination/charm/confusion/etc. spells to throw. Fun :grin:

    Anyone has idea how to make a mind flayer character with Shadowkeeper? That would be fun. Lots of psionics and tentacle attack (brains, brains...) :evil:

    Nymph sounds also good. Especially when you find a good portrait :love:

    [​IMG] Wait! I got it!

    A half-drow/half-orc!

    It would look just like the orcs in the Lord of the Rings books! Sauron would be pleased! :evil:

    Seriously, an half-medusa could make the game play interesting, or an succubus/incubus.
