At any one time, only one of the four could exist in the world, with the other three trapped as timeless spirits in the "living" one's mind. The living one could, at will, exchange his place with one of the others.There was: a barbarian analogue, a thief, a bard, and a sage. Now, because of the nature of magic in the series, none of them had real magic, but that wouldn't be the case in D&D. The character was very flavorful, and this PrC is an excellent mechanic for replicating that sort of character in D20. It also reminds me a bit of a Power Class I wrote for Mongoose 2ish years ago, which was published earlier this year. The Mercenary does similar things, but in regards to combat only - the Chameleon is a more far-reaching version of the same concept. I kinda like it. Patrick Y.</blockquote>
