If you plan to play that adventure, or its sequels "Quoth the Raven" and "Hell's Heart," don't read this. On the other hand, if you have played or DMed that adventure, your opinion is especially appreciated.Victor Saint-Demain                    Level 10 Elite SoldierMedium natural humanoid             XPInitiative +11                            Senses Perception +13HP 198; Bloodied 99, (see unmatched skill)AC 28; Fort 20, Ref 23, Will 25Speed 6---------------------<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/bm.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":bmelee:" title="Basic Melee    :bmelee:" data-shortname=":bmelee:" /> Sword Cane (standard; at-will) * Weapon+13 vs. AC; 2d6+4, and the target is marked until the end of Victor's next turn.<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/m.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":melee:" title="Melee    :melee:" data-shortname=":melee:" /> Punishing Cut (standard; at-will) * WeaponVictor makes two sword cane attacks.

He fights with a sword disguised in a walking cane and has an arrogant, swashbuckling style. Does this fit with a duelist-detective? Is it appropriate for his level and role? If you've read the adventure, does it look like Victor?</blockquote>
