You've got to wonder what kind of demented publisher would make a book that attacks their customers if they don't open it properly.

The same one that made an invisible book, presumably.

Though I hear Harry went on to become, like, the leader of the police or something after doing battle with the most powerful dark wizard of all time and gaining worldwide fame, so that's insane in my book already.

Aurors, IIRC. They're more like navy SEALS, except domestic.
Wizard paramilitary forces, for taking out exceptionally dangerous wizards. Not named-Death-Eater-level, mind, but still.
...Okay, yeah it's a step down, but there's not enough Dark Lords for Harry to keep fighting them and he has to put food on the table somehow...and magic isn't directly an option there.

some players' "I can fuck over and backstab the party all I want and blame the character" take on it

I think I understand why no one else likes kender now.

Neat idea. Not a lot I can add except figuring out how time paradoxes and such will work out. For instance, killing one's parents (on accident or purpose), preventing yourself from getting the book, etc.

Tank? Oh no no no. Chameleon doesn't increase HP, and I have small to average hit dice, a modest Constitution, and an extra -2 penalty to HP per level thanks to a flaw and a trait I took.

...I may want to reconsider that Flaw.

I suppose I won't be needing Heian or Ildi much.

Huh? Please explain.

I am a changeling chameleon.
Changelings can change their form to appear as basically any other race.
Chameleons can change their abilities to mimic basically any other class.
My character has several different personae which he adopts when appropriate. Two of them are Ildi Ungart the dwarven fighter and Jak Bearclaw the human barbarian, who I meant to refer to when I instead referred to Heian Sianodel the elven wizard.

((It was also a tale bizarre enough to be a true part of the gospel.

And lo did Gronok wander into the Temple of the Enemy
And here he did get lost
And thus did the enemy guards find him
But thus did he evade them by clinging to a door
And then did he lock himself in a prison by accident
And spoke he to his fellow prisoners 'Let us escape this place'
But failed he to pick the lock
And so one blessed with great strength pried the door open
And so did the unfaithful follow the strong rather than Divine Gronok
All save one, who traveled with him
As he set a great sheen of oil alight, accidentally burning two prisoners alive
Then did he bullshit the high priest
As the guards stabbed all the prisoners
And he sort of walked out with his one faithful convert

Amen.))

Sigging this.

Real!Sigs aren't big enough.

Become mad scientist with a German accent. Create superweapons for my former subordinates.

Hey, I'm already a German-accented mad scientist!
Aid action without exploding anything. Well, anything important to us.

So? There can be more than one. Fine I'll change it to Russian.

That was more of a "We should work together!" "Hey!" Sorry for the confusion.
