The Painted Cage OOC

Anyone have any ideas what sort of major wondrous items would be fitting as hammer and chisel for a ghost sculptor? I'd like them to create pretty much anything, so something based on conjuration and/or illusionary effects seem fitting...

why not a ghostly chisel? with the enchantment similar to ghost touch, but as its not a weapon the effect is slightly different but the looks the same?

Sounds cool! Which book is that one from? 

O, No, not him again, lol , hehe... aaaanyway....

I'm sticking to my original concept Azure, and ill keep all the adjustments to lvl as is..

Just thought I'd bring peoples attention to the Eberron Campaign setting book. not only does it contain the Artificer class but it also has some great item creation type feats for all sorts of classes.

 Oh, and the war-forged.

and mine, brain wise, thats what i was exactly thinking...

Fascinating idea for a game, certainly off the beaten path.  I am intrigued.  Do you have room for another, and how long may I take before you would like a final concept?

i know what it entails, we have a similar thing in the Netherlands, but its called St. Maarten..

Actually it has nothing to do with Halloween, just superficially looks the same, in that kids walk around singing songs for candy with lampions, nor with easter, lol, my mistake, its a heathen ritual of some sort originally, but as so often, the church managed to subvert the original meaning..

Unfortunately its in my lang., could not find it in english yet.

choose the Feest version, (feast)

 Yup, that's one of the reasons I want to make 'heal' a class skill. Otherwise I couldn't take the class until way later and I'd have a lot of useless and out-of-character mechanical skill. This way works better and (I hope) still keeps in the character of the class.

I'll get to building tomorrow. How do you feel about me adapting some 2e Dark Sun life-shaped objects into 3e? I'll try to keep the changes to be mostly fluff.

All right, here are my two pitches so far. Both are elemental in nature. When one deals with the Great Wheel on a daily basis, one can often develop a fondness for the other parts of the Multiverse. I prefer more active performance like dancing, acrobatics and so on, so I am trying to figure out how to incorporate that into my two ideas below, before I settle on one.

Idea 1: A sort of glassblower, except he creates elemental sculptures. Instead of glass, he blows fire or water to create exotic, delicate forms that can be displayed just like blown glass.

Idea 2: A musician who plays "elemental strings" by plucking the flow of elements around him. Each element has a different sound and tone, and when he pulls the string, it manifests as a visible "string" of elemental power (so, a "string" of fire or water). The musician has developed this to create not only a musical performance but a fascinating visual performance of light and elemental energy.

does it have to be a Ghaele? jees, broaden yr thoughts, try something similar but not to powerfull

or use the level based version out of Savage Species, then u can be a lvl 7 Ghaele with no probs

 Does the character have to be a Ghaele or could you get away with a tweaked Half-Celestial elf? Azure seems to be ammenable to modified stuff so long as it's in character.

 Speaking of races I was considering playing a Grig for a while there. I suppose I still could but his grafts would be very, very small. I was also tossing around the idea of an awakened spider crafting items from its webs or a Thri Kreen which had been experimenting with it's dasl production.

Oho, Athas.  Would an Athasian Prime be acceptable?  If I maintain the elemental bent of my concept, Athas, with its elemental priests, might be a good point of origin.

 Failing that, I will likely make my character a genasi of some kind, depending on the concept I go for.  The musician-acrobat is more immediately visually appealing, but an elemental sculptor of a sort would create more long-lasting works of art.

 Skill points willing, I may be able to do both, depending on class.

Perhaps he has a set of rings that let him form the strings he plays, strings which fly from his fingertips during performances like puppet strings attached to his rings.  And the same strings allow him to create the "blown glass" art.

I've got a great idea for a character.  He's a druid who specializes in finding and training Xong-Yongs to produce music.  He uses a whole slew of Handle Animal techniques to very carefully produce deep, thunderous performances as his pets fly about him.  His largest and best trained is capable of such deep and powerful notes that the audience can feel the vibrations through every inch of their bodies.

It's just a quick little idea, don't have any of my books on me to flesh it out at the moment, but I will soon.

A choir of Athasian mul!

Now, now, that wasn't very nice!

 I'll have to polish my forehead ridges again.

 And ponder character concepts.  Perhaps I am being terribly self-conscious but I feel as though my ideas are considerably inferior and uninteresting compared to others presented here.  It is difficult to force the concepts when they do not simply flow from my mind.

Haha, well thank you, though I am not looking for reassurance so much as brainstorming.  I -am- self-conscious when surrounded by ideas I feel are quite ingenious, so I seek out ideas from others.

Well, primarily I am trying to come up with ideas to improve upon the character concept(s) I already posed.

I'm considering the idea of a sort of chef-bard... a combination of Iron Chef and Swedish Chef plus musical accompaniment.  Hmm...
