Trying to make my character atm, is the Half-Fey template acceptable? That, the Amphibious template, and if possible an LA0 version of Shadow.
Deep ocean fey, yeaaah.

Half-Fey Template is acceptable with the following modifications:
-If you gain a fly speed, the LA is increased to 3. Flying is really great in an exploration campaign.
-Charm Person is 3/day, not at will.

Amphibious is allowed.

Shadow: If you want to play a "shadow fey" or something along those lines, trade out SLAs as follows:
1-2 HD: Faerie Fire for Cause Fear & Charm Person for Obscuring Mist.
3-4 HD: Detect Law for Endure Elements
5-6 HD: Protection From Law for Disguise Self
7+ HD: No change from here on out.


@Mainiac: You get the full 1d10 HD. Furthermore, since it's your first HD, it's maximized.
@Dragons: There is at least one dragon in the jungle. I'm not telling you where.

Here is my character I'll finish off the rest of the personality and stuff tomorrow

If you want a low-quality avatar I did my interpretation of your character. You didn't say hair colour so I had to guess. Hopefully it's not too bad.

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

I don't really care about the Charm Person change since it's likely going to be almost never used anyway, but can I use a +3LA if we're starting at level 3?

Shadow: If you want to play a "shadow fey" or something along those lines, trade out SLAs as follows:
1-2 HD: Faerie Fire for Cause Fear & Charm Person for Obscuring Mist.
3-4 HD: Detect Law for Endure Elements

I was actually going for more of an ocean fey/shadow human (or something close to human, anyway) crossbreed. I figure of all the places that might have stable portals to the Plane of Shadow, the deep, dark oceans would be high up on the list. I guess I can just take Shadow Heritage or something, but that's a) a rather bad feat and b) I have more important thematical feats in mind... I wonder if there's a bloodline for shadow online...
Edit: There is not =S

So here's Kobold Bard/Marshal: http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=688305

Combat involves screaming at the top of his lungs in what he thinks is song.  It somehow enrages allies so much their weapons hit with fire.  Also, his allies strive to shrug off physical wounds.

anyways, noticed I forgot my 3rd level feat, so added ability focus to my breath weapon to bring its DC up to 16 (not bad for a 3rd level char :p ). I'm pretty sure I'm done now, unless I can think of something else to buy with my remaining 350g....

Could we have Maru ride on Kalnaf's shoulders as he rides on Steffan's shoulders as he rides on Orgarr's back?  That way we really stack the bardic buffs and Maru can reach items on the top shelf.

Plus we can go for the quadruple threat leap attack.  Orgarr jumps, then Steffan jumps then Kalnaf jumps then Maru jumps, letting Maru make touch attacks at targets like 60 feat away.

Orgarr approve of plan. My people build tower like this. We call totem pole.

.....are we suddenly playing Disgaea PBP or something? :P

Edit: Also, thanks for reminding me about travel rations, and I also thought to grab mapmaking tools as well as pull a couple of points into craft (mapmaking) so I can get the mapping bonuses. though, I'm still left with 300g; this comes from not having to ever worry at all about weapons or armor) due to having an at-will fire breath, and being non-proficient in armor anyways.

Any sort of human pyramids (or giant-human-cat-smaller cat pyramids) will involve balance checks. Lots of balance checks. And possibly piranhas if you do them in the wrong spot.
