    ..with out using things like Shadow Keeper and other mods.

    Say that the game didn't have all the restrictions like Kensai's unable to wear armour, or be chaotic. What would your dream character be like.

    Mine would probably be a Half Elf CG Kensai wearing Grandmasters Armour, with the Gargoyle boots. Weilding Waters Edge and either Twinkle or Spectral Brand.

    Actually if we're able to throw realism completely out of the window, I'd like to play an eight-armed Dark Elf (maybe some kind of Drider) wielding Carsomyr, Crom Faeyr, Flail of Ages +5, Ravager +6, Celestial Fury, Blackrazor, Mace of Disruption +2 and Unholy Reaver.

    Why so many Dark Elves? I'll take something ridiculous like a Solar or other celestial, myself. Good rules! I'd dual weild carsomyr +6 and the Axe of Unyeilding, and I'd have stuff like wing buffets, breath weapons, innnate timestop, and so on.

    In all seriousness, a dream character is not necessarily the most powerful character; it's the most intersting to play, drawbacks and all. Kensai are interesting to play, because the classes weaknesses combine with its strengths to create an interesting gaming experience.

    Dream character? What do you think you PC is, some kind of God? :)

    Okay, I want to roleplay a God:

    25000 HPs, -42 THACO, -56 AC; wearing God Plate (full plate +15) and wielding the Smiter of Worlds (+22 greatsword that inflicts 6d6 acid, fire, cold, lightning and magic damage on a successful hit); 10 attacks a round due to permanent Greater Whirlwind Attack; permanent Absolute Immunity; Stoneskin as an innate ability that can be used as many times a day as I want it; and a couple hundred high level abilities for it things get tricky.

    I'd play a gnomish turnip seller. He'd have god like charisma, intelligence and wisdom. Permanant invisiblity during combat, such good pick pocketing he could steal your underwaer whilst you're wearing it, and would never have to fight as he could talk his way across the Abyss and Baator, without stopping for beath.
    In seriousness, I'd be a wizard slayer, dual wielding Crom Fayer, and runehammer. Also I'd be able to wear all the things wizard slayers can't.

    I'd like to play a blade type single class character that has all the thieving abilities abilities of a true-class thief, can poison weapon, can backstab up to x10, can cast level 9 spells while wearing leather armour, uses the thief avatar (hoodies rule!), is permanently improved hasted, and can hide in shadows even within sight of enemies.

    i'd have a lot of fun playing this character.

    A half-carrot bus driver, dual weilding a bamboo shoot and a stick of vanilla.

    Or, if mods can be used (I have custom items I made myself installed.) then I would want...

    Elven Kensai/Assassin/Mage

    Dual Weilding 'Sundaku +5' Katana (100% poison res, 20 pnts of poison damage over 10 secs, +2 Backstab, Regenerate 1 hp per sec) and 'Sweeper +3' katana (+1 Attack per round, +5 lighting damage, casts improved haste twice per day)
    Wearing Black Dragon Scale (custom item again and a bit overpowered - 100% Acid res, 0 AC, May cast spells)
    Other items include Boots of Speed, 2 Rings of Preservation +2 (Item Upgrade mod), Belt of Inertial Barrier, Amulet of Ilmater (Item Upgrade mod), Cloak of Prot +2, Taza's Magnificant Magic Store bracers that give +2 Intellegence boost and some kind of Ioun Stone.

    Or a Human Wizard Slayer/ Cleric of Talos/ Conjurer
    Weilding Celestial Kiss (Two Handed Sword, 2d6 damage, uses the quarterstaff prof due to its balancing: rubbish reason, I know, Celestial Kiss X2 per day - same as Power Word: Kll - Only usable by clerics)
    Wearing Breakfire Plate (100% Fire Res, -4 AC, May cast Sunfire and Flame Arrow 5 times per day)

    And all the misc items listed in the prev one.

    [​IMG] malovae: why bother wearing dragon scales when you could actually be a dragon(not the crappy familiar, puesedo dragon((he really sucks!)), you could wander along scarring everyone then stepping on all the little annoying kids who want a free ride on your back(where do they think they are? amn?).

    failing that you could be a hippie, wandering around either converting people or if they disagree, go underground or hide in a tree(it works these days!)
    :D :D ;)

    Halfling Sorcerer/Assassin who can cast spells while wearing leather armor, is permanently improved hasted and has non-detection as an innate ability that can be used a reasonable amount of times per day.

    Not too cheesy :D but GREAT fun to play!
