Skeletor, the build.

Well, for some unexplained reason, he has always been blue, even before losing his face. This is a bit odd, as he King Randor's brother, and King Randor looks plain human.

True, but you did say he wants to build a character "much like" Skeletor so some fudging is more than acceptable from a pure build perspective, less so if he wants the same back story and just basically wants to "play Skeletor".

Is human the best route?

Tiefling would give you a way to write of the appearance of the character without resorting to any outside influences (and give you some nice side benefits).

Human gives you the extra Feat, which is always nice, but requires more exposition and possible GM Fiat to explain his appearance.

IMHO both are viable options and it would come down to which way you and you brother want to go with the character build.

I think I will take a look at the ARG as well.

There is a "Half-Undead" option in the ARG as part of the Race Builder chapter in case you're thinking of creating your own race. :)

Not sure if fitting, but I will check it out.

Wait is this stuff playtest or pre release pdf? Cuz Books-a-Million told me the official release date wasn't until july 1st. Half undead sounds super cool by the way and if its a fraction as cool as it sounds I'm definitely going to be investigating the option.

I got my Subscriber .pdf about a week ago, although I know others have had theirs for 2 weeks or more and US Subscribers would have had their Dead Tree copies for at least a week, if not longer.

Sounds like a Staff Magus Tiefling with his Staff of Havok to me.

[blackbloodtroll]

I am thinking Daemon-Spawn, or Kyton-Spawn Tiefling. The -2 to wisdom seems fitting.

Great, now I can't get the image of Skeletor singing "I Kissed a Girl" out of my head.

I kissed a girl and I liked it. Hope Evil Lynn don't mind it.

Skeletor is a great personal hero of mine. Also, if you guys are old enough to get the references, check out "Unemployed Skeletor" on YouTube. It's very, very funny.

He seems to leaning more towards this Skeletor.

I love that line "Oh, and He-Man, I lied!"

I have that on my phone as my message tone.
