So here's my idea so far:His name is the Cursed Rogue, and i focused almost solely on those two words.So he's a rogue- a thief. Lets say that long ago he was the greatest thief in the world- almost godlike in his power. He could clean out whole fortresses of guards, with narry a one knowing he was thier until the instant of thier death, and some not even then. He could steal the clothes off of you, and make you thank him for his "service".He had power, lots of power. And it was fine, until he was granted unlimited power. He was given a wish.Naturally, he wanted to live forever. So he wished to "never age, never tire, and never change."Now knowing the universe (read: the DM), he was granted these things- but only these things.So his wish became his curse, as he stoped aging, stoped sleeping, and suddenly could no longer change who he was.It works out like this: His life force remains the same- just as strong as when he made that wish. Only when his natural time came, rather than being fueled by positive energy- alive, he was fueled by negative energy- undead.He does not tire- he no longer suffers from the effects of lack of sleep, food, breathing, etc- as a standard undead.Does not change himself- this is where things get interesting. What is at the heart of this is he can no longer gain or spend XP: he cannot level up, cast spells with XP costs, etc. His skill set never increases, nor do his feats, nothing. He can still gain factual knowledge, as this does not change the character of who he is, only what he knows.He also cannot change his ways- against his will, he has become a creature of habit. So from fight to fight, his tactics remain absolutly the same.Finally, he cannot really change his physical form- he regenerates heavily, and ability damage cannot slay him, etc.Here's the catch- he does not appear undead. his flesh is warm to the touch, etc, it is just that he is fueled by negative energy, rather than positive energy.</blockquote>
