Jumping on the bandwagon: FTW! Now, then... Back in '77 when the movie was an unknown summer flick my cousin beautifully corrupted Artoo's name to "Artee Toodee". Sounds like a gnome to me. A total sleight-of-hand prankster, with perhaps a level or two of Beguiler. . . ? Actually, that...

Bummer. Well, I got away with it once. Peace.

Several possibilities came to mind, some I've used in games of yore... Revelation via concerned NPC is a classic, the old "You've killed him! Oh, now we're all doomed. What do I mean, you ask? Surely all know that Ozzig The Enforcer works for Lord Kragz! Oh, we are doomed. Doomed!" -or-...

Yeah, definitely Rogue levels. Even Sneak Attack fits, Artoo was always blindsiding someone or zapping a battledroid. :) Factotum just seems to be a nice representation of all those little doors that cover R2 units and reveal endless probes and "just the right tool" for any job. Plus...

Intimidate to demoralize opponent doesn't specify whose opponent. I used it as a 1st. level dwarf (with 4 ranks and no Cha bonus) against a goblin (1 hit die+9 wisdom equals a +0 modifier) who was about to attack another party member. My companion was thankful for the goblin's shaken...

Doesn't Eberron have a Small-sized Warforged? That was my first thought as far as race. I'd give him high Int and Wis, certainly, but I think his Cha should be in the penalty range to reflect both his head-strong nature and his unintelligible speech :) . Class-wise, yeah, you can't beat a...

Totally cool. When I showed the CPYE to one of my players before posting, he spun his hands in opposing spirals and called upon the Eye of Agamotto. :lol: Actually, to me a third eye screams: "Poke me first!", and I always figured the SWFHAJ was what gave Tolkien's Elves their noble brows...

They're like two sets of Hit Points, usually paired with "DR/(something)"-type armor, such as ballistic and bruising, for example. Wound/Vitality Points make for a dangerous, gritty feeling in a game. This suits some settings well. Film noir-style, espionage, old west, the list goes on. (On a...

*SNAP!* That was the sound that came from my outlet the moment my system went dark. The problem was in the wall and my surge suppressor worked as advertised, but still...exciting couple of minutes! In the down-time I statted up my Ghariali (BTW, how do you pronounce that? Hard or soft 'G'?)...

Yeah. Tonight I'm going to stat up the Swordsage. I can see him dual-wielding Talwar and Katar. I'm using the name "Dwalla Nayeffi" for now. What do you think?

Dirt-Covered Fedora (DCF)- Perfect for the outdoors-y, athletic mage. Adventurous tomb-robbing types, necromancers need not apply. And another: Perfectly-Wrapped Turban (PWT)- Usually secured with a huge ruby brooch, exactly centered. The only acceptable color is blinding white, a white that...

Yeah, it looks like a standard action would be required every round. Think of it as properly "brandishing" the item "We are strong in Pelor's Light!". If you don't spend a standard action doing something with it, it's just idly held between the fingers, powerless. Any vampire worth her fangs...

Rougerouge and Doghead make good points. And the idea of mercenary anti-heroes is appealing (worked for the A-Team...). Starting from a deliberate "stance of Neutrality" would allow the players to explore exactly how evil they really wanna be. Then, evil-smart or evil-curious :cool: , they...

Very cool, Lord Slaw. I like the concise yet evocative descriptions especially. I'd play one. Whattaya think of a Swordsage? Seriously. Given the gharial's origins and druid Favored Class I envision my Ghariali wielding a scimitar, head wrapped against the cold in layers of silk. Again...

I've noticed that the conical hats (with and without brims) come in varying degrees of what I can only call "sharpness". I'm sure there's a better term, but my brain hurts. The Classic Conical of the spoiled Court-Wizard is often sharp enough to count as a martial weapon. Hey! There's a...

I went "A'Wiki-ing" to look for pictures and the like and found the gharial (A.K.A. "Indian gharial" or "gavial"). Cool. So. Some random thoughts based on your post and the Wiki stuff: As they are described as "the most nimble and quick" in the world while in the water, I'd raise their swim...

Man, now I can't stop... First I came up with: Primitive Feathered Headdress (PFH)- Admittedly a fashion choice usually associated with the more spontaneous casters, your basic (really basic) dancers and charmers, your screamers and droolers. Common accessories include rattles and a bone in...

Actually I'd encourage lots of negotiating with opponents. The nobility attracts competent advisers and useless hangers-on in about equal numbers. Great fun could be had by playing patrons off against each other through their lackeys. Double- and triple-crosses should be the expected terms of...

A more modern piece often donned by those appreciating subtlety: The Floppy Flat-Topped Hat (FFTH) -More inconspicuous than a towering be-dazzled cone or gems that assault passersby, for those wizards who want to pass un-noticed. Often paired with a long coat, scarf, and optional sonic...
