  • Blood bag Imp (Fiend Folio 98): Uses healpacks and blood bridge to heal allies.

  • Devil Bounty Hunter with Hellhound pet: Erinye with Improved Animal Companion and Cleric Levels.

  • Blighter Druid (Complete Divine variant, p. 23). Undead Druid. Retains undead traits in shapeshifted form. Corpse crafter let you summon undeads. Shadow Mastiff could be taken as pet (improved animal companion).

  • Vampire Gnoll (!). Two new vampire variants are coming out soon.

  • Illithid Shaper (Metacreativity): Focuses on creating constructs and is able to craft a crystal and brain golem. Both are a bit stronger then the iron golem and recieve fast healing II.

  • Treant Ranger: Get a friend playing a dryad (nymph) bound to you. Treants can wield weapons.

  • Hellfire Imp: The innate regen helps hellfire warlocks quite well.

  • Cursed Balor(Pit Fiend): Be a Balor that has been cursed to be human and now has to learn the other side of the coin. Take Half-Outsider as race and lawful to be a pitfiend and chaotic to be a balor when reaching level 23.

  • Zombie Nr 353 (Dustmen): When awaked he suddenly remembers that he has been a paladin in the past and now seeks the "True Death".

  • Packmaster of Yeenoghu: Play a worg ranger with improved animal feat and take worg as companion.

  • Blade: Take the new vampire template but only up to level 5. Hunt undead players.
    Beholder Golemmaster: A beholder suddenly discovers that his "disintegrate beam" doesnt dissolve the victim's skeletons anymore - only the flesh. Bored he starts to play games with them. Take corpse crafter and build the bone golem.

  • Death Tyrant or Alhoon: Play a wizard/cerebromancer and take pale master levels.
    Zombie Monk: o.o

Athas (Dark Sun Campaign Setting) also has some very interesting ideas for alternative ways to RP your class. You could easily adapt your RP to be some homebrew world if you want.

  • Elemental/Paraelemental Clerics: Draw power from elemental/paraelemental sources and frequently come into conflict with one another. Worship an elemental god & constantly praise whatever element that god represents.
  • Defilers: Wizards who draw their power quickly, killing plant life around them, and significantly sterilizing the soil those plants were in, rendering it impossible to grow new plants there for centuries. Pick a lot of necromancy & evocation spells.

I'm sorry but no... please don't. Unless you're keen on playing a character who everyone thinks is batshit insane.
Case and point: Play a human that is under delusion he is a cursed balor. Less of a headache and much more believable.

(We don't really need any more instances of characters demanding respect for being "x" race.
There's a reason Balor and Pit Fiend aren't playable beyond their CR.)

Except that you aren't playing a Balor. You are playing a half outsider.

Playing a human under the delusion that he is a Balor is, in effect, the exact same outcome as playing a balor who is cursed to *be* a human.

That post sounds like a very knee-jerk reaction to the word "Balor" :P

Curses can be broken tho... there's a difference.
"From the realms below we ride,
And in terror they run and hide,
From the shadows of old we rise,
Awakened, from the dark!

Over the ancient ruins we fly,
Where the old kings go to die,
And the new kingdoms rising high,
Awakened, from the dark, dark slumber!"

Heh. Blighter druid. Been trying, but most undead suffer terribly at early levels, and even moreso if they're druids.

I'd love it if we had some kind of tinker or black powder themed prestige class.

Just roleplay as if you're using bombs (alchemy) and firing a low-quality black powder gun (a la late 1500s AD). Don't need a prestige class for any of this stuff; just need to use your imagination and RP in theme. Mander's tinker idea is easily achievable as gnome rogue. You could even add Gatecrasher levels and pretend that Gatecrasher abilities are the use of technology.

Edit: That said, if a cohesive prestige class option (that makes sense in the Planescape setting) is submitted along these lines, I doubt that the staff would say no. Just my opinion, of course.

Problem is, all the guns in the game so far are just crossbows with fire elemental bolts. It'd be cool to add a few sound effects, maybe rework how these things work. It'd be a big project, but I think it'd be pretty fun to make, since there's item, class, combat mechanics and crafting elements going in.
