[QUOTE="Epametheus, post: 483956, member: 719"] How much butt-kicking does he need to be capable of? A Bard with high Int and Cha, with Perform, Bluff, Sense Motive, Diplomacy, Craft (Literature) (is that even viable?), Innuendo, and #$%^&, bards don't get enough skill points to actually be proper bards. If you have the skill points and go bard, taking spellcraft so that you can research unique spells for screwing with peoples' heads could be interesting. Perhaps a high dex score as well, as he should probably be graceful and what-not. Race: Elf or human... Human gives you more skill points, which you may well need, but elves are, well, elves and are a bit more mystical/artsy. If you want access to illusion/charm magic (and you might), go bard; if you want to be some sort of gosu skill master, go rogue. Rogues also have much better combat ability, though hopefully your character won't need to able to inflict massive quantities of damage just to be relevant to the campaign. Alignment for Lord Byron? Chaotic Neutral with good tendencies? He was a bit out there, if I remember right. Heh. Don't look to me for a name. The name is that last thing to appear on the character sheet of any PC or NPC that I make. And hopefully, that should get the ball rolling. [/QUOTE]
