[QUOTE="RealAlHazred, post: 6748572, member: 25818"] [b]Originally posted by lord_gore:[/b] I feel I have to improve my bluff skills. Yes, you're right. But remember that Sul Khatesh is the Keeper of Secrets and his form just reflect those mysteries so, as far as we know, she could very well look like a normal rakshasa if unveiled from those shadows. And that would require a truly epic hero! I too was planning to use a spider overlord, something like Miska the Wolf-Spider from "The Rod of Seven Parts" (AD&D): a three-headed, four-armed huge spider. Talk about nightmares... Anyway, using an already fleshed out 4e Demon Lord will surely save your time: as you noted yourself, just a few tweaks and she's ready to battle your adventurers. I then didn't go too far off the mark, even if deceived by those prakhutus' portraits, when I said that I felt Rajahs to be unique. They ARE unique forces, stemming out from the blood of creation itself. I'll just stick to the unwritten rule of the distinctive tiger part of the Rajahs (head, fur, eyes, paws, tail, etc.) being the only common thing they share, along with the power. That's exactly what I hoped you could provide me with. Many thanks for being so helpful! To be honest, when I first saw her name I thought: "What? A Dhakaani name for a rakshasa rajah?". Anyway, I don't think she's at an unusual level of power if compared to the other Na-Vakhtis: the average sits at a truly fiendish CR of about 65: 20 HD, 40 class levels and a generous +5 for all the uber-powered traits. The lowest-ranking rajah who ironically is also mistaken for a deity, Katashka the Gatekeeper, has a CR of 55 and Dral Khatuur is only 75... I'm sorry but I fail to see the madness in there. Even the last word says quite the contrary. But I can see your point, being the Truth domain a sissy one: mass true seeing at 9th-level? Otherwise than that, I really don't see insanity in her description, rather unbearable knowledge for the commoner so I'd go with Knowledge as an alternative option. Maybe even a Knowledge and Truth could work. I totally agree on your reasoning about the overlapping domain and I will try to fix those domains, especially on the definition (that list was a draft, and I was figuring out how to work with domains). Only thing I can add is that I didn't modify the already given domains (save for Tul Oreshka): those are the ones given in the Eternal Evil article but the forum didn't keep the formatting (should be fixed now). Should I consider it as a review and put it in the table? ^_^ List's updated, as usual. Enjoy! [/QUOTE]
