[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 1423437, member: 8439"] Some character responses... Nameless - Sadly, based on the standard lycanthrope rules, I'm not comfortable with a were-dire-bat. Something about a potential 32 freaking dex at 7th level before any buffing just frightens me :eek: , and the flat 2 or 3 ecl plus racial levels doesn't seem to me to adress the difference in utility of animals with the same hit dice total. I would consider a were bat of the standard size, who would lose combat utility during shapechange but still gain serious scouting/spying advantages. (we would have to work out a hybrid form - size, hands vs wings, etc) I like bats myself and played an awakened one with druid levels briefly. ;) hafrogman - seems pretty straightforward, though I must admit I was thrown by your chain mail pajamas... :p ferretguy - well rounded, ought to work. Just so you know though since you are doign a partial paladin, I generally do not allow the use of detect evil as a personality test in my games - that is, the ability/spell detects supernatural or magical evil, not the evil intentions of mortal puppy kickers. Looking forward to hearing from others. Meanwhile a little more of the flavor of the campaign start: For as long as you can remember, two things have set you appart from others; one physical and one mental. The physical is easy enough to pin down - a strange tattoo inscribed on your left palm. The design is abstract, a collection of dots of different colors, one of which has light lines connecting it to all of the others. It has resisted wear, scrubbing, scarring and even the occasional burn and rather than stretching or fading with growth has remained consistent and vibrant. When you first thought that some of the dots had changed position you dismissed it as bad memory or stretching of the skin, but as the years passed it became more and more obvious that the dots were moving relative to each other, and that the 'main' dot moved position when you began journeying a significant distance.
