[QUOTE="Hand of Vecna, post: 185511, member: 755"] [b]BOZ[/b] -- as I said, Kancheisis was first shown in [i]Monster Mythology[/i], which is where I got the base info. Using that book, [i]Deities & Demigods[/i], and the new [i]Ravenloft Campaign Setting[/i] book (for Patriarch Vampire powers), I set to work, and crafted this. As for his Half-Elf status -- Kancheisis is said to have been born of the collective blood of the Seldarine (the Elven Pantheon), mingled with that of a Human creator god. Blood itself, from such sources, was intended as a creative force to maintain the life of worlds. But in some dreadful and magical accident, a bloodsucking, ravening thing thing was born. Blood took on its own life, took corporeal, fleshy form. And the darkness of Kancheisis came into the planes and fled to Gehenna... I'd like to do Mellifleur the Lich-Lord, but (according to [i]Monster Mythology[/i]) he's only a Lesser God, so he'd be fairly identical to Vecna (a Lesser God, according to [i]Deities & Demigods[/i])... [b]Knight Otu[/b] -- I was thinking of giving him more levels, but for now I decided on just sticking with what [i]Monster Mythology[/i] gave (though I tweaked even that -- according to that book, The Rake has the spellcasting abilities of an 18th-level Wizard, but The Beast only has the spellcasting abilities of a 10th-level Wizard...) [b]kkoie[/b] -- I'd thought of that, initially decided against it, but now that I think of it again, it makes sense... I also need to figure out a name for his [i]+5 Chaotic Keen Unholy Wounding Rapier[/i]... [/QUOTE]
