As said on the WOTC forums at one point or another somewhere in time, "All the PrC's that WOTC makes can all be compiled into 1 book: Complete Crap." And, well, I would like to play a paladin, but frankly, the core class sucks. I'd probably end up taking Grey Guard from CS, its not that bad and allows my paladin more strechyness with his code. Either Pladin or Knight for me. Or Dragoon on the PEACH Orchard (The one whose main attack style is giant leaps.)

I'd take knight if our gracious DM would allow us to switch the knight's code with the paladin's.

Yeah. I want the flavor of the Knight (tankish, taunty) except in a more merc form. (not lawful)

The thing is, again, everything you want to do can be done (and done well) with WoTC material. You want an alignment restriction free knight/paladin style character? Use the Crusader(which make better tanks than knights and have way cooler special abilities than a pally). I'm running a FF Dragoon style character right now in a campaign who is a warblade/fighter. Also there are the alignment variant paladins (paladin of freedom,tyranny, and slaughter).

I'm a big advocate of using official material when it can do what you want.

Also yes, it would be best to wait til we get everyone that's going to play in here before we start pumping out characters.

I'd be using things like that, except i don't have the books for them.

MittenNinja, could you perhaps post some information here of wherever it is we're going to play, so we can at least test the water?

All the variant palladins are available on the SRD I believe. As far as other material you could try finding some of it online. That is if you're okay with the legality (or lack thereof) of it.

The info is really going to depend on what city we play in. Assuming Talos will be the city of choice, it will be a more oriental/mayan kind of feel to it with exotic fighting styles. It's in a jungle area and most play would be inspired from many wuxia style films.

If we end up going with a different city however it could be nothing like that.

Well that doesn't sound as fun.

Could you write up a sentence or two on our options, so we're not guessing simply based on the name and location?

I don't have some of the cities completely fleshed out yet, so I can't get too detailed on some of them. BUT, here's what I can get fairly detailed with right at this moment.

Also, The DNDOG site has been down for a few days now, and I'm not sure how things will go over when (or if) it does come back up. So Lea Monde may vary well be an option.

Lea Monde: A military city with strong faith and honor. Nearly half of the current population consists of the dwarven refugees of Ironridge Keep, a dwarven city that was overrun during the Abyssal Wars. The winters here are cold and frigid, while the summers are hot and humid.

Xian: A city founded and run by dragons and those of draconic ancestry. Strong ties to alchemy, sorcery, and the arcane are present. Lady Elsa has just taken the throne (and is the first non true dragon to hold that position in the cities history) and is beginning to push the city in new directions.

Kallum's Bluff: A sprawling city run by a council of merchant lords, knightly orders, and the many other organizations that have sway within the city limits. It's basically this world's version of waterdeep.

There's a few to tickle your fancy. I'll get some more for the other cities soon (hopefully by the end of the night or sometime tommorrow.

Yea, Xian is (in my opinion) one of the coolest pillar cities I've fleshed out thus far.

*busts out the draconomicon and races of the dragon*

This will be FUN. I don't suppose you'd let me play as a full dragon, then, would you?

You guys will pretty much have free reign on any WoTC material. Just run your idea by me first.
