The premise is simple. Your home is being invaded, and at the head of the army is Garkul the Devourer. There are rumours and legends of him-some call him a spirit, floating on the wind and guiding orcs in spirit. Others claim him to be a giant of an orc-15' tall if he's an inch, and with weapons to match. Still more have him as a master of the elements, able to weave together fire, earth, air and water in ways unheard of by normal mages.
But regardless, you are here to defend your home. You will stand and fight against him, to your last breath if need be. Cut off the head, and the body will die. You can only hope that's true in this case...
Character creation is as follows: Four Players total 27 Point Buy Level 20 Characters Unlimited (or practically unlimited) GP Any three magic items of your choice, excepting Sentient Items and Artifacts Max one Simulacrum per person (so if the party has one Wizard or Bard with the spell, they can make Simulacrums of the whole party, but not more than one per person) And probably some other details I'm forgetting
The game will be pretty much just one long fight against Garkul, a homebrew CR 33 (I know that's above the cap) orc. I would like some fun roleplay in addition to just mindless hack and slash, though I'm hoping for much more tactical play than mindlessness. :P

Does the +3 Greataxe count as a magic item? or can I add another property to it?
He is a reluctant fighter, prefers to cook and protect than to harm. but it looks like this one last time he must pick up the axe sitting in the corner of his bakery, and go to war.
Cheers.
Edit: Added the base points score to the dropbox link before race, class and level bonuses added. Took 2x Feats and 3x AS Improvements over 5x AS upgrades.

I plan on having the Psionic weapon discipline, and he has an almost guaranteed hit (with a +15 to hit (STR+Prof), and the Soul knife feature that treats AC as 10), only missing on a natural 1.
If this build is too cheesy for you, I don't mind sitting this out. I just wanted to build this cheese-monster, I don't need to see it in play.
Add duel wielder feat as well so you can have a psionic knife in one hand and something else in the other.. part of my drow psionic build, complete nutcase
Question . if i wanted to use a scythe and i can not find any item in the hand books for it , would it be possible to take the stats from another weapon to use it ?

A Glaive or Halberd would suit the task of being refluffed as a scythe

Alrighty, My Preferred is now in the dropbox link.

Who's interested?
Hmm. Seems interesting.
2 questions. 1: Multiclassing allowed?
2: What books are allowed to get the classes and races?

Ok, just asking one thing.
Artificers create 5 magic items via levelup, does that bypass the cap?

Link to the artificer in question?
And I'm inclined to say yes, but be aware, the attunement cap is in place, and you get three for essentially free, so Artificer might not be your best bet.
Hmm.

Artificers have a robot companion (CR 2) and at 10, 15 and 20 get to attune to another item.

Yeah, that Artificer is fine. So you'll have five Artificer items, following the usual limitations, and then three bonus items, of your choice.
What Timezone are you in? I'm interested, but down in Aus so schedule may conflict.
And what do you mean by 27 point buy?
Looking at either a Rogue/Sorcerer Forest Gnome or a Goliath Barbarian with Gourmand and loves to cook over fight.

Play By Post, so timezone shouldn't matter. I'm in central US, so whatever timezone that is.
I mean 27 point buy for stats, as per normal in the PHB.
Ahh ok, so starting stats, without level increases etc.
Alright, I'll put together the two characters, I have them built for level 5 right now, so will increase and get them across. preferred format?
More than likely go with the Gnome, but it's nice to have a backup :)

Mythweavers is a good site for character sheets, but anything I can easily read is fine.
Alright, here's the JSON for the Goliath Barbarian. (Hug-Fe)

The soul knife appears in, and takes up, both your hands, so that doesn't really work. Another Drow Soul knife? Ra'sakar (in my sig) is one too.

Hah.. I done goofed.. Kept reading it as Soul Knife, when in fact it is Soul Knives. So is your damage then PER KNIFE, or as a total for both?
Just thinking that with two, the assumption is you attack with both, and a single knife (at base) is 1d8. Thoughts?
