You don't have to use the WoTC games. Especially the eyes are weird. This is supposedly my gnome, Edelay:

Spoiler: Show


Oh and while we are talking about creating books, the book suggests that you should take both ranged powers if you are a cunning bard and both melee powers if you are a valourus bard. Isn't it better to take one of each no matter what kind of bard you are?

Well, I'll throw together a build in a bit and see how things go. Maybe we'll all come together on something good. (Actually he's going to be evil; or at best unaligned...but still, you get the point)

I suppose mix/matching powers is a plausible idea- but it really depends on your style of play.

What would you suggest for that? Maybe that Infiltrator PP or something?


Either the infiltrator, or the cat burglar there is some overlap between the two, but I think the master infiltrator might suit your character the best. there is bonus to stealth, as well there is a power that gives you invisibility until your next turn once per encounter.

You may be right about that...should I wait and MC later or do it @ 1st level though?

I was thinking either Advantage of Cunning or Jack of All Trades for my 1st level feat, unless there's better options...

Also, on a side note- would MC Shaman be awkward? He could play of his "trickery/Mad Hatter" vibe by pulling his spirit rabbit out of his hat

Actually, that would be cool...

RP wise I'd generally like to take multicalss feats at first level. Also consider wether you want to be able to use sneak attack and thievery right away, or if there's something you'd reather have at the begining of the game, you also get a feat at second level, so you don't have to wait very long for your second feat.

I like the rabbit out of hat idea, but generally I think that primal classes aren't a good match for bards or rogues, what I'd consider very urbane classes. reading the discription for the Shaman, I think you might be able to pull this off though. What's your idea for how your character aquires the spiritual ties necessary for shaminism. personally I don't like the shaman, but I like your concept, and I'd be interested to see how you would Roleplay such an unusual combination.

Hmmm....well, we've got some options:

A.) Rogue MC for sneak attack/thievery

B.) Shaman MC for spirit-rabbit

C.) Advantage of cunning for a nifty slide-trick

D.) Jack of All Trades for some skill bonuses


I'm really considering option B for the simple fact that it's just a fun idea...what would be a good ability score allotment for a Gnome Cunning Bard MC Shaman?

Bard's are able to take more than one multiclass feat, in a few levels you could have it all! 0_o

Really? I wasn't aware of this...


As far as how he gained the spiritual ties, do you know the Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland? How he led her into the Hole? The "Rabbit" spirit in the sense of my character will have been the spirit that bound itself to him to lead him from captivity, I'm using the Fomorian Captivity background tweaked a bit to say that he was sold into slavery with a traveling circus as a magic act and the rabbit was part of the act...does that sound too lame?
