[QUOTE="Rackhir, post: 2827356, member: 149"] Well since my description of Rackhir Mk.IV didn't make it back in, here it is. Rackhir is the fourth version of the eponymous character of my user name. Of course he's modeled loosely on the character of the same name from the Elric Saga. The first two were waaaayyyy back in high school in D&D 1E, used the Archer NPC class from one of the Dragon issues and were among the luckiest characters I've ever had. Especially Mk.II who always seemed to get a crit or make his save in these knock down drag out fights that usually ended with him and maybe one other character (of a party of like 8) left standing. Both essentially came to a bad end at the hand of the other party members, a fate Mk.IV seems likely to be the first to avoid. Mk.III was in Wizadru's Campaign and was a Fighter/Barb/Modified OoBI. He was a dark and bitter character, having had his wife betray him and sacrifice their children to Iuz. I was starting to suffer badly from depression at that time and he reflected that. Mk.IV the current incarnation despite often being described in grim terms (Did we mention that Burne is not a reliable narator) is far more laid back and easy going. He also differs in that he has generally horrible luck and I've been banging my head on the table more than one night due to hiddeously bad rolls. He's often described as a Ronin, though technically he doesn't qualify since in a fit of perversity one night I decided that he would come out of a peasant background and Ronin are masterless Samurai.
