[QUOTE="LyleDraconis, post: 5094164, member: 87631"] The true title of this story is simply [I]Shape-Shifter[/I], I just didn't expect that to catch your attention. [CENTER][B][SIZE="3"]FOREWORD[/SIZE][/B][/CENTER] This story is based on a spin-off campaign involving a 5th level half-rakshasa, half-elf Duskblade, Arcadias (my DM balanced it out, really!). He was foolishly killed off by a Nightmare Beast, as you will see in the preface of the story (arrogant bastard). He was reincarnated in some crazy, reality exploding event my DM set off shortly after, resulting in a new character, Thomas, inside a new reality/world. Thomas very closely resembles Arcadias, and is really just a better version (arguably) of my incredibly arrogant, shape-shifting a-hole. Where as Arcadias was a 5th level, half-blah, blah, blah Duskblade, with long red hair and an affinity to most things female and sentient, Thomas is a 5th level half-incubus, half-elf Hexblade (now 8th level, but not in this point of the story) with long red hair and an affinity to pretty, female, sentient things. He even has all of Arcadias' old gear, minus a dark wood shield. There are a few more similarities, but it gets into character sheet details, and I don't want to type it all. Anyway, the setting of Arcadias' is a world which takes a few traits from Ebberon, but is otherwise original. The most notable trait is the reversal of dominance in the drow society. Men are the superior gender, and the women are the lesser beings. This would be part of the explanation to Arcadias' harem of female drow shown in the preface, but the rest is simply explained by his parties involvement in an inter-house skirmish between two enemy drow families. Arcadias' party was with the attacking house, which won in the end. The reward was to take whomever desired as prisoners, as long as the older men were left for interrogation, torture, etc., etc. Naturally, Arcadias took as many females as his leader, Nonan, would allow (I believe the number was still pretty close to ten). That explains that. Now, the Nightmare Beast takes a bunch of explaining which would only create another huge wall of text, so let's save it for after the preface, eh? (Only if you want to know, that is). Preface in next post! [/QUOTE]
