I hadn't really meant to use the actual attribute. Also, I'm fine with the ability damage based on how much damage I do. Now, how exactly would it work? Would I have to roll 1d8 per rank of the special attack to determine how much ability damage is done, or is it based solely on how much the special attack does? Also, would stuff like muscelpowered or sneak attack dice effect this at all if the latter is the case?Background-Originally from ancient japan, the daughter of a ruling feudal lord, she was abducted by an invading force of monsters and demons, taken back to the invading forces home, the Netherworld.Fire everywhere. The screams of the dieing echoing from all directions. A small girl, huddled with her mother in her home, listens on, confused by what is happening "Mother, what is happening?" the girl says, wimpering. "Shhhh. It will all be alright." The thudding of footsteps are heard, right outside the door. Grunts, and yells of pain are heard as battle clashes right outside the door, where guards were posted. The door opens abruptly, a bloodied man crawling towards the girl and her mom, mouthing a warning, but no sound escapes. He passes out, and a well armored humanoid and his entourage of fiendish knights walk over the now dead gaurdian. "Ah, so here you are. Maybe your husband will surrender if we take a couple hostages." With a grim smile, and the slight twitch of his hand, his knights take the girl and her mother hostage. Some time later, the invading horde had discovered that the ruling Feudal lord, Hyuuga Neji, had commited suicide soon after he found his wife and daughter missing. With his cousin now moved in to take his throne, and what was left of his army now in a blood frenzy, assuming that he was slaughtered by the enemy, Hyuuga Sonyuske was able to drive the invading demonic horde back to the Netherworld throught the portals that they came. Raised in the Netherworld, she served under the overlord there, where she trained in the use of a dire two-handed axe, developing an ultimate and devastating technique for assassinating even the most powerful of generals that would oppose the overlord."What should we do with her? Her mother commited suicide, and almost took her child with her when she learned that the gates to her world were now closed." The Lord, in reply, "Well, I could always use another loyal vassal. When she is old enough to walk, she will be trained, just as all my other conscrips, and join my army. But, I want her to be special. The human spirit is great, and for us to bless it would make her formidable indeed." And so, she was trained the moment she could walk, and marked with great runes of power to show her privaleged status among her new kin. While she would not be treated like a daughter to the overlord, she would be treated with equally, whether it was forced or not. Years more passed, and her abilities grew. While she was not physically as powerful as her fellows, she was able, and could desimate in one on one combat. Thus, she began and completed her training to become a suitable assassin. Eventually, her human heritage resurfaced, and she sought out her original home on the material plane. Description:Dressed in a black silk haori and hakama with decorative black satin serpentine dragons that coil all around it (think hot female samurai dressed all in black), she was named Genryu, or the Shadow Dragon, for her control over shadows and her axe, the blade of which is held by the great open maw of a fiendish looking dragon.</blockquote>
