[QUOTE="Aelf, post: 4047090, member: 32274"] Good day to all! I'm trying to stat out a new NPC for my campaign. His purpose is to be somewhat competitive with the PCs - not a minion or an ally, but worthy of respect. The NPC has an odd background ... a human (born on the Material Plane) but reared in Mephistopheles' realm. He has a pseudo-established personality of a gregarious carouser. I am trying to put together an interesting build for him to display some of the Bo9S stuff. I don't intend for the NPC to beat or 'show up' the PCs, just to be an interesting new face. I'm leaning toward making him a Crusader/Bard or Warblade/Bard. I'm not set on either. I do need an NPC that won't take a huge amount of DM effort to run. (I know Crusaders require a lot of management, but I think I can plan things out) The build should be group-friendly. Here's what I'm looking for help with: Build ideas ... progression and feats especially. The NPC will initially be low-level, but will progress at least to level 12. (The PCs are presently levels 6 and 7.) Good maneuver choices/combinations. I've never had a player run a Bo9S character before, but I've done some test cases and have used a Crusader 5 NPC before. The build should be effective and plausable. If there are decent feats that scream 'take me' from his Hellish background, please direct me! Many thanks for the effort. Best regards. Aelf [/QUOTE]
