[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 4909024, member: 20323"] Hey, I've got a request if you're still taking them. I need a 14th level elite crown prince as the main bad guy for our campaign. Technically it's an NPC, but I was planning on designing him as a monster with some unique powers...I was leaning to skirmisher/controller (leader), and want him to have a way to escape should the battle go poorly. I also wanted to include a way to shake off stun effects more readily since I don't want him out of the fight for long. I see him fighting underhanded, like having a dagger hidden up his sleeve even when disarmed, grabbing PC's old wounds while fighting (with appropriate monologue of course ;), and possibly performing coup de grace on a PC who has really angered him. [sblock=Prince's Background]The ambitious elder son of King Arath, Prince Eydanus has been poised to claim the throne upon his father’s death, taking the time-honored post as viceroy. However, when it is revealed his father didn’t choose him, the Prince attempts to conceal this knowledge and take the throne anyhow. He believes the kingdom has grown too fat and happy, ignorant of the dangers posed by imperial loyalists, revolutionaries, and others attempting to topple the government. While the Prince has no admiration for his father’s reign, he does believe in the maintaining Galeay’s independence no matter what the cost. However, the Prince is disliked by the people, whom he considers “lowly rabble” always complaining and on the verge of revolt. He is an elitist in the fullest terrible sense of the word. Despite being a sniveling bastard, the Prince commands enormous political power and is quite the demagogue. His illness has tempered his arrogance – his schemes, while pretentious, are always thorough.
