I don't hate Kender, never did! I'd rather have kender in a game than a lot of other races. Outside of a Dragonlance game, they seem a little out of place, though. Kender are very easy to grief with, so a lot of people are turned off to them on that account.

So let me get this straight:

Mad:
US: Angry
UK: Insane

Pissed:
US: Angry
UK: Drunk

So Americans seem to have anger management issues. A Mad Pissed American should be avoided, But a Mad Pissed Brit Might be fun to watch for a while.

I'm an American with a degree in English, so this kind of discussion fascinates me.

What about an Ultimate Smurf?

Too overpowered.

They aren't overpowered if you don't let them smurf all their smurf points in one encounter. A decent GM (Garga-Mel) paces encounters so that Smurfions and smurfy warriors can't do that.

I want an Artificer type guy. Very steampunk style that uses technology to produce magical effects. You can kind of create this with a skin, but I picture this guy with a haversack full of random gears and gauges constantly crafting tools in the field in a Macguyver sort of way.

Party: "How the heck are we going to know when 5 minutes is up?"
Me: Hold on a second... /digs around in bag for parts. /craft check to make 1-time use stopwatch

I'd like to see this, but i dont think it ought to be the base class that appears in ultimate combat.

It might be an idea for "Ultimate Skillmonkey", or whatever it gets called, if such a thing ever comes to be.

Alas, I can't add too much to the discussion, but I'm here to show solidarity!

That's fresh! An alignment argument that wasn't begun as a Paladin thread!

Why do you need a sudden level boost? I'd recommend a side quest with adversaries that don't give them quite so much trouble, then loop back to the main story when they've gained those levels. I don't know exactly what the PCs are encountering (suspicion isn't knowledge), but either drop a Young template on them or skim a level or two if you don't want to ,or can't detour.

I'm in the Chaotic Neutral camp myself. What he does is sometimes creepy, but if he didn't actually seek these creatures out to harvest the skin, then it's just a gruesome trophy. I once played a barbarian who had the habit of eating the heart of a worthy vanquished foe, to gain his strength. Was this a disgusting habit? The elven spellthief sure thought so, but I still have a hard time calling it evil.

On the tangent, advocating genocide of any sentient race, especially one that hasn't done anything wrong (really!) is evil. I may be a sock puppet, but I am not the sock puppet of any other Kender booster here.
