[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 361782, member: 151"] [B][/b] Well, for a start, it's no mere great sword...it's a unique weapon. It may not seem as mighty as the DragonSlayer, but that's like pointing out that the Sherman tank is not as effective as the Tiger. To the poor sodding infantryman, it doesn't make much difference. I'd prolly rule it a modified Keen blunt greatsword that requires an STR 16+ and an exotic weapon proficiency, has an improved Sunder ability and maybe something else. [b][/b] I'd rate it a +3 unique weapon, prolly requiring a 20+ STR to wield, as well as an exotic weapon proficiency and Improved Exotic Weapon proficiency or something....it's just not a weapon meant to be wielded by normal humans. Some of it's bonuses? Large Crit range, I'd guess, coupled with Gats already considerable talents. [b][/b] I'd make a strong case for it...or not soon after. Mind you, I'd also say he got level drained during the BSOM event, so go figure. [b][/b] Your guess is as good as mine, but if pressed to the wall, I'd say Demons with Epic character levels, or quasi-dieties as per the D&DG, with a Divine Level of 0 or 1. They're not insanely powerful, but they far beyond mortals, that's for sure. [b][/b] Definitely Fighter, with maybe a couple levels of barbarian. Sure, he gets mad, but I don't really classify it as Raging...especially as he does it less and less as the series goes on. I would give him a pre-Epic Prestige Class, though...possibly Knight of the Hawk, or some such. [b][/b] Caska is a pure fighter, and Griffith probably is, with a level of Aristocrat or two towards the end. Judeau is a Ranger/Rogue combination (the KNIVES!) and Corkus is probably a rogue/fighter...or just a jerk. I might give the officers a level or two in a custom prestige class, as per previous answer. [b][/b] There's an implication that it was always there, just hidden until something forced them out into the open. It's obvious that since the BSOM event, monsters have been appearing in large numbers.

[color=darkred][size=3]SCARY.[/size][/color][size=3][/size] Oh, you meant in d20 terms? I think he's an Epic Level Paladin, with a few levels in a custom prestige class 'Behelit-Eater'. :D He may be LG, but he's also Lawful Scary. Yikes. [/QUOTE]
