So, I'm off, but for reinstalling my aunt's operating system. I am going to do it today, no matter what. Still, I've spent the morning going over the races, classes, prestige classes, and weapons I want to pick for my character. Ironically, I find myself leaning toward a divine character anyway. :) Well, either that or a psionic character. It could be quite fun, either way.
There are a couple of LA +0 races in the
Expanded Psionics Handbook, notably the Xeph or Elan. (How cool would it be playing an Aberration that looks human?) Ironically still, of all of those character classes, I've whittled it down to the core 11, three of the four psionic classes, and two -- count 'em, TWO -- classes from the Complete Series (Favored Soul and Scout, and I doubt Favored Soul is gonna last).
There are a slew of prestige classes that I am looking at. I'm surprised at the level of quality that
Complete Adventurer provides. I picked out 14 prestige classes that looked interesting to me. I've eliminated four, and added two others. At any rate, I'm whittling my choices down, and will soon have something I like. :)
Now, I have to get ready and leave to go to Oakland, TN, so I can reinstall that OS for my aunt.
EDIT: Ironically, I picked out the books I felt I needed the most to make the character I really want, since I'm going to be away from my books today. The books I chose? I took the PHB, DMG, XPH, and all four of the Complete Series. In other words, the very books I was originally told I could use. All that checking and worrying....for nothing. Hahahahahahahaha!!!!
