[QUOTE="El Jeraldo, post: 3117003, member: 41036"] Monk/Fighter prestige based off Rock Lee (Naruto) I’m looking to try and make a prestige class modeled after Rock Lee from an anime called Naruto. For those of you who haven’t seen the anime, Rock Lee is basically a monk in DnD terms that is 100% hand to hand fighting. He has the ability to unlock the “8 life gates” (or something like that I cant remember what exactly they are called). To prepare to unlock the gates he must perform the “secondary lotus” a crazy grappling move; to actually unlock the first gate he must perform an even crazier grappling move called the “primary lotus”, then form there he can push his power higher to try and unlock the rest of the gates. The idea is that every time you unlock the next gate it increases his hitting power, damage, and speed, but with each gate he unlocks it puts more strain on his body so that when he is done fighting and returns to normal he is in a lot of pain and extremely exhausted. The damage he does to himself by unlocking higher gates continues to increase until if he were to unlock the 8th gate he would die at the end of its duration because the power derived form it would tear his body apart. That ability is what I am trying to emulate with a prestige class, but seeing as how I as of currently have only been playing DnD for about 1.5 years I’m not positive I have to ability to make this with out it being balanced; I think I would make it ridiculously overpowered and I would like to avoid that. So basically I’m asking if anyone has done previous work in this direction or knows of a good place to start. If the EN World community could come together and help me put this together piece by piece, I would be eternally grateful.
