[QUOTE="Droid101, post: 1958894, member: 942"] A fabulous question. A Curst is an undead template in the "Monsters of Faerun" book. Basically, in Forgotten Realms literature, these "Cursts" could be created through powerful wizardry. Essentially, a Curst can never die. It regenerates all damage (albiet, pretty slowly) no matter what the source. It says that only divine intervention, or the one who created the Curst can ever truly kill it. And the one who created Bloodthorne is long dead. Pretty interesting little template. Here it is in its entirety: [B]Hit Dice:[/B] Change all hit dice to d12 as undead. [B]AC:[/B] +3 Natural Armor [B]Spell Resistance: [/B] 12 + Character Level Undead Traits as normal, except that he can be healed via normal healing magic. Negative energy heals him as well. [B]Regeneration:[/B] Regenerate 1 hp per level per hour. So 10th level curst would regen 10 hp per hour. Regenerates all lost limbs. If head is cut off, body disintegrates and a new one grows out of the head. [I]Cold and Fire Immunity Turning Immunity No Constitution Score (As undead) No sense of smell[/I] Urostifter is a three level prestige class from the "Complete Swashbuckler" or whatever it's called. Older book by a thrid party company. Forgot the exact name of the book. But the class gets the ability to use two longswords as if one of them was light (so only -2 to each attack), and it focuses on insults, which lets them use a bluff check to make their opponent flat footed for the round as a Move action, instead of a standard action. It gets some sneak attack damage in there as well. The Ancestral Avenger requires you to be elf or half-elf, +5 base attack, Wilderness Lore 3 ranks, Alertness, Iron Will, and Tracking feats. It gets a fighter attack progression, good Fort and Will saves, d8 hit points, and 2 skill points per level. It was from January 2001 Dragon Magazine. By level 10, he'll have the following abilities: [B]Underground Tracking [/B] - He can track underground with no penalty for poor visibilty, and treats hard surfaces as firm surfaces for purposes of the DC for tracking. [B]Drow/Spider/Demon Bane[/B] - He gains a +3 to hit and +3d6 damage when attacking drow/spiders/demons. [B]Poison Resistance[/B] - +10 bonus to save against drow sleep poison or any spider poison. [B]Overcome Spell Resistance [/B] - +2 bonus to overcome drow spell resistance. [B]Webwalking[/B] - Can move through webs as though he has a [I]freedom of movement[/I] spell cast on him. [B]Drowic Change[/B] - Can change into a drow, as if he used [I]alter self [/I] spell. [B]Spell Resistance[/B] - Spell resistance equal to character level plus 10, like a drow. Hope this was informative. Any other questions are welcome! [/QUOTE]
