[TheAntiSummit]

Two strong ones to close! Nice going Remathilis! This is a great thread and has provided me with something like 25 new ideas for characters.

 

[Elder-Basilisk]

32: The Spy (Action hero variant)
Examples: James Bond, Arnold Swartzeneager's character in True Lies

Major Skills: Bluff, Diplomacy, Disable Device, Listen, Search, Spot, Sense Motive, Tumble
Minor Skills: Escape Artist, Gather Information, Hide, Move Silently
Feats: Improved Initiative, Iron Will, Weapon Focus/Finesse, Luck of Heroes, Persuasive, Quickdraw

This variety of spy rarely disguises himself--he just dresses appropriately and bluffs his way into places. If he needs forged documents or gadgets, someone else makes them. But when it comes to lying, seduction, blowing things up, or disarming nuclear bombs with seconds left on the timer, he has no equal.

 

[Technik4]

33-The Surgeon-
Knowing exactly where to hit his enemies, this doctor is no quack.
Skills: Diplomacy, Forgery, Heal (cc), Knowledge (Local), Listen, Profession (Doctor/Herbalist), Search, Sense Motive, Spot.
Minor Skills: Decipher Script, Gather Information, Perform (Oratory), Bluff
Feats: Skill Focus (Heal), Run, Quick Draw
Stats: Int, Wis, and Cha

Before you ask, Forgery is opposed by Forgery, so this doctor could spot Fake Prescriptions and Recipes

[Privateer]

34. The Freedom Fighter

This rogue fights against his oppressors and often leads a cadre of like-minded rebellers. They fight furiously after emerging from their stealthy positions or clever disguises. Ex: Robin Hood

[Krieg]

Magician - Not born to magic, can't learn magic, so he fakes it, and uses magic items to cover up his lack of magic

SPECIAL: Redhead if in Ravenloft

This mirrors an idea for a prestige class I've been mulling over for my campaign almost exactly (anyone remember Maasha from the M.Y.T.H. books?).

I humbly offer said prestige class's name:


Montebank

 

[Shadowdancer]

For anyone who has seen and enjoyed Pulp Fiction: Maybe number 20 should be renamed "The Wolf"

No, it was done first (and possibly better) in "La Femme Nikita," and the character, Victor, was called The Cleaner.

Interestingly enough, when "La Femme Nikita" was remade by Hollywood as "Point of No Return" (also before "Pulp Fiction"), the actor who played Victor The Cleaner was the same one who played The Wolf in "Pulp Fiction" -- Harvey Keitel.
