[QUOTE="RedSwan78, post: 2138939, member: 5951"] hehe :) I did mention that Grim is a "recycled" character, yes? I used to play a version of Grim in a real life campaign with friends when I lived in California. Things where different about him (feats, weapon choice, etc) but the basic concept was still the same. Remember in the background I wrote about the Mimic?
