Hello all. I'm looking to build a party of Halloween themed characters for a short game I'm running this weekend. Witch is a given, as is the voodoo Oracle theme, but what other class/race combos would be fun? For example, is their a way to build a jack o' lantern type character? Plant-based creature? Is their a way to make this an alchemist who throws pumpkin bombs? What about bat themed or something else iconic to this Holiday?
any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Depends on the level. If higher than 4th you could have a druid wildshaping into a bat.
For a jack o' lantern I could see a goblin wearing a pumpkin as a helmet.
Any intimidate based pc would be fitting. And I like the alchemist idea. Should not be a problem to have one use small hollow pumpkins instead of flasks for his bombs. It's just a simple refluff.
I could see a drow caster with the spider summoner feat. Or a wizard with a bat or spider (refluffed scorpion if it doesn't exist) as familiar. Or with a staff looking like a broom as bonded weapon.
Even if I normally don't like them a summoner. A synth summoner could even be another option to build a jack o' lantern.
Synth summoner as the headless horsemen or any other monster.
Dampir who plays up the vampire thing.
Broom I flying.
Dr. Jeckyll/Mr.Hide Ragechemist
Normal Alchemist has lots of creepy Mutagens(Undead Anatomy)
Vivisectionist
Antipladin(especially a Knight of the Sepulcher)
Tor Johnson lookalike Fighter
Awesome ideas so far guys, thanks.
One idea I had was to make a bonkers scythe-using fighter who fancied himself an incarnation of a death god or Death itself. Dresses up in black robes and maybe even white make up to make himself look like a grim reaper of some kind.
