Do you have a source on that? I've never heard of that.
Also, Omega, do you have a campaign name I can use in the stat rolling? The website organizes rolls by both user and campaign, so if we all roll with the same campaign name, we can all see each others' rolls

Edit: Wow radiant does look fun. LA 3 with a lot of goodies.
The aura has the potential to hurt the party, but still!

Pretty much out of principal I avoid anything even closely related to Psions. I fucking hate those with a passion. ehh. Ill look into something else maybe. See what I can do.

To argue in favor of Phrenic:
With Phrenic, you don't gain the ability to use the crazy power-point system psions use. Just use the powers as spells, hell, have your believe they're spells -- he's a wizard! The powers he can use because of phrenic are just some spontaneous magic he can use because of his natural aptitude.
The power resistance helps avoid psionic attacks (which is nice since everyone hates psions)
At levels 1-2 you have:
--precognition defensive +1 to AC and +1 to Saves. So, this is basically the cantrip resistance
--1/day, you have force screen is literally shield
Once you hit level 3, you also get:
--3/day a +2 to will saves as an immediate action
--1/day Mind Thrust -- the magic missile of psionics.
Level 5:
--1/day daze an enemy
--1/day Body Adjustment. You get to heal yourself! As a Wizard! Magic!

There's no reason to run away from something just because it says psionics. You don't even have to mess with power points or psionic focus or any of that crap.

an la +2 alternative might be half-nymph, Dex +2, Int +2, Wis +2, Cha +4 and a fear aura. It's in a dragon magazine.

no problem. its just I never build characters off optimization. If I did half of ym characters wouldn't exist. I build to make intentional challenges to myself. I find out of combat more amusing than in combat for D&D and I build my characters according to those tastes.

fair enough
though are you going to at least use of your LA? I can think of a few templates that don't change your character outwardly that fit well with being a wizard of thay. Phrenic creatures are otherwise normal creatures whose minds are more powerful than those of their fellows. +2 LA; +2 Int, +2 Wis, +4 Cha; some nifty psionic things (power resistance, psi-like abilties as you level up (which you can always pass off as a natural magic aptitude)

Spellwarped creatures represent creatures changed by magic (khaos god, perhaps?).
LA +3, 2 Natural Armor, Spell Resistance, spell absorption (if a spell doesn't hit you because you resisted it, you get a neat bonus!), +2 Str +2 Dex +4 Con +4 Int

there you go you got a wizard of thay with +2 STR +2 DEX +4 CON +6 INT +2 WIS +4 CHA, Power/Spell Resistance that increases with HD, Natural Armor, Spell Absorption, and neat psi-like power progression for LA 5

neither explicitly changes outward appearance as a human, and gives you some neat boons. Again, I just want to help, because I feel like Omega's going to be throwing some pretty strong stuff at us. I understand wanting to focus more on out of combat stuff (hey, I'm a bard! that's my focus too), but I don't want your Red Wizard to die before he gets to even become a Red Wizard.

Omega, what Campaign name should we use for rolls so they're sorted nicely on the rolling website?

Keep in mind there are variants of pretty much ever CS for every table top RPG. Ive made 3e, 3.5 and 4e characters on sheets that look nothing like in layout, but have the same basic content, i.e a skill chart, attribute chart, equipment, spells. As long as you have all the sections you need. It is a functioning character sheet. I don't know if I can link you directly to one of my sheets but Ill try.http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=771198

I was under the impression we were starting at level one, but with LA 5 for free. as far as I know you can't just take a level instead of using the LA. Slap on some templates? ( "there are no more "normal" humans, elves, dwarves or really any race or species").

Also, sorry to be critical of your character plan it's my nature to run the maths and build the most optimal character for my idea. I was just trying to help. :)

D&D 3.5 Chaos God's Domain

Yikes. You don't even get the circle magic though! You lose a school of magic and gain a measly +1 vs spells of your specialization.. D:
Be sure to slam on that LA 5 worth of templates, at least. I have a feeling that this campaign is going to be made to grind up even the best characters.

D&D 3.5 Chaos God's Domain

The prestige class? you'd have to go something like wizard 5/red wizard, no?

Hiders Glitch

Looks like the problem stems from apostrophes.
Don't use apostrophes as quotation marks. Simple enough. Similarly, avoid them in general in hider titles. Looks like nothing after an apostrophe appears in a hider title.
