If your name is Jessica Bickis, Mike Motyka, Andrew Coffman, Kurt Ro, or Aaron Billheimer, please get out of this thread now, so you don't ruin a plot point of our game for yourself. Anyone else, look on, and please help:
So, one of the PCs in my game has been abducted by a doppelganger who's now impersonating her character. He's a doppelganger hexblade 1/ur-priest 5. We use 3.5 material with Pathfinder rules, obviously. Now, the character he's impersonating is a goliath binder 6. The actual race is a little home-brew and updated to fit better with Pathfinder conventions, but it's based on goliath. The player is in on this and is using a fake character sheet that upon first glance will appear to be her actual character's sheet, but upon closer scrutiny doesn't really add up because it uses math from the doppelganger's stats, etc. She's intentionally slipping up every now and then, so that eventually the other players will catch her and have to fight the doppelganger.
The problem? Well, vestiges give weird powers, and the cleric spell list is nice and flexible, but it's still hard coming up with ability suites that mimic the granted powers of vestiges. So, what I'm asking, as a thought experiment for all you creative converters, is can you come up with spell packages using the cleric/ur-priest spell list (for an ur-priest 5) that mimic any of the vestiges available to a binder 8 (she's only a binder 6, but has the feat that lets her be two levels ahead for binding purposes). Obviously, nothing's going to be an exact match, but any help with this would be fantastic. I've done a few, but I'm not all that pleased with my work, and it's really hard to do too many of these. She's already played a few games with my work, and I don't want her to have to keep faking this for too many more games, but I'd like the facade to be as realistic as possible in the meantime, and we're playing again tonight!
Thanks, guys!
