[QUOTE="Pagan priest, post: 1231427, member: 7650"] What level is Dr. Fu Manchu? [b](Warning: Some of this information may contain spoilers if you have not yet read the appropriate novels!)[/b] While I have not yet had the opportunity to read all of the novels about the insidious doctor, I have read several. Since I am planning to run a D20M pulp game in and around China, I feel it only right and proper to include such an influential figure in my game. The question is, what have I missed? I am hoping that some folks on this board have also read about Fu Manchu. I wish to restrict this discussion to the Doctor as he appears prior to World War II, I have only read one novel set in the cold war era and the game is to take place long before that time frame. Please don't worry about putting things in rules terms, I can handle that later. If you [i]do[/i] have rules specific information, I would be happy to see that as well, but if it is not from either D20M core book or Urbane Arcana, please state the source. From the beginning, we have seen the Dr. as having a great deal of knowledge about medicine and pharmacology, he is able to compound drugs that are nothing short of miraculous. Drugs to play mind games, hypnotics, narcotics, potions of youth, soporifics, and others I am forgetting. He has skill in the planned breeding of plants, animals and fungi. He speaks every human language without an accent. His talents as a surgeon are unmatched. He commands the loyalty of hundreds, if not thousands of people from the Far East to Europe. So, what am I missing, what can you add? Anything about Dr. Fu Manchu, his [i]dacoits, lascars[/i] and [i]thuggees[/i]? (N.B. My dictionary did not give any indication that any of these terms are derogatory, if they are, please let me know. I dislike giving offense [i]accidentally[/i].) Thank you for your time and effort.
