[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 127095, member: 63"] Oh, how about this one? One of the NPCs the characters in my last game ran into was a prophet who saw her visions of the future each time she died. Yes, died. About 3000 years earlier, she had come into an odd contact with an artifact that caused her soul to reincarnate whenever she died. Her body would develop the same, as if she were literally born again, and she would begin regaining her memories whenever she reached puberty, so by the time she was an adult, she would recall everything that had happened in all her past lives. Needless to say, over the course of 3000 years, she did a lot, usually trying to stop hideous visions she foresaw that dealt with the artifact that gave her the eternal life. I think by the time the PCs met her, they were already 14th level, and the best I could do to describe her was 20th level. Some epic levels might have come in handy. Let's see. Just off the top of my head, let me stat her: [b]Quillathe Nailo:[/b] [i]Fighter 5[/i]: Originally a warrior, focusing in an exotic dueling style. [i]Lasher 10/Duelist 10[/i]: She eventually mastered this style after a few lifetimes, wieilding rapier and whip-dagger. [i]Assassin 4[/i]: Working briefly as an assassin (I let them be good, if they have good intentions) for an order devoted to freeing her people from oppression. [i]15 more levels of Fighter[/i]: Hey, why not? She had the time to spare. [i]Cleric 9[/i]: A passing interest in religion, hoping that learning magic might give her a way out of the cycle. It didn't, though she still keeps up her faith. [i]Divine Oracle 10[/i]: Can see into the future. So, a Fighter 20/Lasher 10/Duelist 10/Assassin 4/Cleric 9/Divine Oracle 10. What's that? Level 63? That sounds about right. She's seen it all, especially as far as combat goes, so it's really hard to outfight her. [/QUOTE]
