[QUOTE="Nazhkandrias, post: 3783669, member: 50521"] OK, now I definitely know what I want to go with. Rainplume, the Final Mirage NE Kenku Rogue 5/Assassin 9 (Your typical assassin. Crazy amounts of stealth, ruthlessness, instant kills, poison, and ruthlessness.) Rainplume grew up with his mother and father, who did not accept his race's murderous ways. They named him Rainplume in the hopes that he would grow up as a good man and wash away the prejudices associated with him and his family. However, after accidentally killing someone, he found that he had a taste for the sensation. From that day onward, he slowly slipped into psychosis from the addiction to that feeling. Eventually he forsook his parents and trained himself in the killing arts, later becoming a lone assassin, occasionally killing for gold, occasionally killing when the opportunity rose. He wanders among the dunes, ever moving onward, his reputation as the last thing you'll ever see in the desert (the Final Mirage) always trailing him. I know that he's evil, but keep in mind that his addiction to killing is his strongest emotion. He is likely to follow around a group of warriors, for two reasons - one, where PCs go, death and battles usually follow, and two, people are less likely to think he is an evil psychopath if he is traveling around with good or neutral characters. He won't stab them in their sleep, because then, the opportunity for massive amounts of blood and gold goes away (future prospects). The other issue that people MIGHT have is that he has a reputation, even though it isn't a particularly big one (only rumors, since not many get away from him alive) - that's where Disguise checks come in. He's not a particularly distinctive individual to begin with, and if he doesn't want his identity to be known, then it won't be. Plus, I doubt he'll be parading into the city gates with the rest of the PC's - he'll probably find his own side entrance. I won't be using any crazy feats for him (mostly Two-Weapon Fighting related ones), and he'll fulfill the typical rogue role of stealth, sabotage, and sneaky killing (but NOT social interaction). Does this work, or is there something that should be changed? Oh, by the way, if this guy does get accepted, would you mind me trading a few weapon proficiencies for more desert nomad appropriate ones (rapier -> scimitar, short sword -> kukri)? [/QUOTE]
