[D&D-3.5e] Wonderland: A Ravenloft Tale

[Seekr34]

Ok, thanks!

Having a heck of a time thinking of another class that wold fit him, both fighting and culture. May go with 1st level ranger, but not sure yet

[Ermine]

Aspect of Nature Druid is an option. Elemental Earth is an option for aspect, after all.

Or if you don't want spells, Champion of the Wild Ranger. It'd give you more combat feats (from a list, but still).

Edit: Unrelated, but does anyone mind that my character is going to set people up in romances? She follows a fertility goddess, but has taken a vow of celibacy.

Something to think about

Hey, just play your character the way she is.

[Seekr34]

DM, not sure if you allow homebrew, but if you do, I was thinking of this class with the fighter at 7th level. Of course, it would be fighter 7th and Survivor 1st

Some people don't like it when people ship their characters with other ones. Just wanna make sure no one is icked out by it. I'll still do it, just not with their characters.

[Seekr34]

thanks, not sure how that happened.

[Seekr34]

I keep trying to correct it, but the ) keep missing.

Welcome back and glad you are doing well! I've got a weird idea that came to mind reading your opening post.

Eik Race: Treant (savage species class progression) Classes: Treant (SavSpec progression) 7//Lion totem Barbarian 2/Pugilist Fighter 2/Fist of the Forest 2/Frostrager 1 Personality: Eik is stoic and reserved by the standards of humanoids but in the view of treants the young oakborn is considered dangerously rash and erratic. The towering oak speaks slowly with a voice rarely louder than a dry winter wind gently pushing along the last forlorn leaf of autumn. Each movement he makes is deliberate and his steady strength brings comfort to those on his side in times of peace. In battle Eik becomes everything his people claim. Eik rushes into combat with unfettered glee and a speed that seems impossible from a treant. Leaping upon his foes and leaving only food for his kin in his wake. Looks: Eik is a young oakborn treant perpetually caught in Autumn, his crimson leaves forming a fiery crown from the canopy above his head. His bark has red undertones and his sap has a coppery taste to it from the terroir he gained sentience in.   Background: "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!! OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!! OFF WITH THEIR... OFF WITH... OFF... OFF... OFF... OFF..." Eik stood as a silent observer to the death of thousands. He grew strong from soil soaked in blood long before he woke and he would have simply remained a tree were it not for the return of the Queen to Wonderland and the return of those vile words in this dread place. When the Queen of Heart's returned to her throne the heads really started to roll and one of those heads happened to belong to a druid from a far off land he called Faerun. The druid cursed the Queen with his final breath and the Dark Forces of Ravenloft were all too eager to help his curse come true... RP Sample: A lone crow screeched in the baughs of the sole oak tree a dozen feet from the chopping block. Reddrik Springsinger had fallen into Ravenloft while hunting with his companion but he knew there was nothing the black bird could do for him now but watch his end. This Queen could not be reasoned with and she kept screaming about him conspiring against her despite having never heard of her or her kingdom of Wonderland. The headsman finished sharpening an ax that's final foot of haft before the head was dyed red from victims before him. "Hear my words and tremble fiend of hearts. You shall reap what you sow." The druids words were filled with hate and every syllable dripped with magic. "OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!" The ax fell. A crow cried out in rage. A head came to rest on the root of a lone oak tree. A power beyond time and space laughed so loud even a mad queen went pale. Knots of oak opened for the first time revealing patches of light sensitive corewood that looked down in dawning horror at the sight it had been unknowingly witness to countless times before. Roots tore from the ground as a trunk split into two mighty legs. Thick limbs flowed around his body till the tree took on a roughly humanoid form, all extra limbs and branches making a canopy above the newly awoken treant. The leaves hung heavy and looked slick with blood despite none of the vital fluid touching it. Eik. The name came to it, no not it but he he realized just as quickly, along with a feeling that felt like the fire that had once burned some of his new growth branches from a bonfire of corpses the Queen of Heart's had lit that covered him inside and out. Eik tooke a step forward, his legs understanding his will even if he did not yet begin to. His mouth, a seam in the bark at the middle of his chest, opened to reveal corewood molded to crude aproximations of the shape of a humanoid mouth and tongue. A power born at that moment at that time roared in thoughtless fury. A head came to rest under the roots of a solitary oak treant. A crow cried out in revenge. The ax fell. "OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!" The words produced by latent magic burned with rage. "You shall reap what you sow. I will rip your heart out one day as your kingdom trembles." Eik fled from the Queen's garden knowing without knowing how that to fight the woman now could only end in his defeat. His legs propelled him far faster than such a heavy thing should move but it made his escape a certainty. Thin men with designs Eik did not understand filled the hallway before him but he just kept moving and they scattered before him like leaves before a storm. The next few minutes passed by in a blur as dozens of axes chipped his bark and even more lives were snuffed out beneath his roots as he fled in terror from the Queen of Heart. When Eik finally found his way out of the winding maze that was the palace he ran into the nearby forest and just kept running till the sun fell and the moon hung high in the sky above him. He heard no sound of pursuit though he hadn't heard any to start with. Eik took stock of the forest around him and himself. The Queen of Heart's sat on her throne with a mix of shock and fear fighting in her heart. She wasn't afraid of the tree, she had killed far greater threats than a stump with a grudge, it was the laughter that scared her. Rage began to build in her as she began to find her voice. "OFF... OFF... OFF... OFF... OFF WITH... OFF WITH IT'S... OFF WITH IT'S HEAD!!! OFF WITH IT'S HEAD!!!"

Hey MundayKnight, did you see the PM for the Kara-Tur game? DM is back.

[Ermine]

Is that pronounced like Ike or Ache?

[MundayKnight]

I have at that, just waiting for the first post back.

Ermine: according to Google it's pronounced like ache (ayk) also according to Google it's the translation for tree in old norse.

@Hael: how long has Wonderland been in Ravenloft? Think I am done if it has only been back for a short bit but can add some interim activities if it's been months or years. Putting the backstory and the rp sample in a spoilrtbutton to make it not take up so much space. Tried to roughly vertically mirror the writing around the midline of the characters name and hope it isn't too clunky.

Edit: got feats, items, and future level layout for eik done.

[Ermine]

I think I'll drop this one. Hopefully the GM comes back to answer your questions and start the game.

[Maghnuis]

Interesting.
If we have a DM I have someone to drop in.

Going 2 prestige classes at the same time is strictly prohibited, going dual progression prestige class isn't strictly prohibited, but it can complicate balance so it's discouraged.

I don't know if I'll throw my hat into this campaign, because of some personal issues I'm going through right now, but it looks interesting.

The DM hasn't been on in 2 weeks, so this may be stillborn.
