Message: <blockquote data-quote="Man in the Funny Hat" data-source="post: 2459294" data-attributes="member: 32740">1E monk named Bannor "Face Dancer" Addidas.  He just wasn't that good.  Never had great attacks compared to all the girdle/gauntlet/dwarven thrower fighters (at one time there were four such!) and Holy Avenger wielding Paladins (virtually always two, sometimes three).  He died a lot.  He died until he couldn't die anymore (even with an amulet of Life Protection) but I always had fun.  I just wish I'd have been able to get him to 17th level to use that 'ol Quivering Palm.  One of his most enjoyable moments was having earned the ire of one of the aforementioned dwarves.  Bannor scrambled up a cliff to a ledge out of range of the dwarven thrower and started shooting with a rather fun item called a Scarlet Angel Express - a 10-shot crossbow that fires all its bolts in a single round.  What with magical bolts and the .5pt/level damage bonus for monks he nearly killed the dwarf who had to flee the field. A close second would be a 2E fighter with the swashbuckler kit named Dycron.  Dycron didn't die, but he certainly did wind up unconcious a LOT.  And he wasn't exactly a walking wall of damage, but he had STYLE!  He would use his boots of Striding/Springing to leap behind the front ranks of the enemy and then repeatedly have to be rescued.  Had hand-shaped scars on his neck where Bane had choked him, but also had a rapier named Banes Bane that had actually done damage to him.  Had a deep-seated and justified paranoia of statuary and whose greatest desire was to become fabulously wealthy (and largely succeeded).</blockquote>
