[QUOTE="Daniel Runge, post: 6275028, member: 6775372"] Thank you kindly for the warm welcome. What you say is true, it might seem like it's sligthly too peppered. But for arguments sake, let's say I was using one of the official races, afterall, the only thing I really want from the Sen'garak race is the climb speed, poison use, and Snag Net proficiency, and it is what I designed my character concept around - Climbing, posion, and nets (webs). I added Acrobatics because I like jumping spiders. Take the Vanara. They get the climb speed, bonuses to Dex and Wis, as well as bonuses to 2 of my most used skills - Acrobatics and Stealth. These are pretty much the bonuses my character would want if I went with something a bit more min-maxy. I lose out on all the small details from the Sen'garak, the things that made me want to play one in the first place, and design a concept around it, but it makes it easier to pull off a jumping spider that's simply not poisonous. Race-wise I cannot see any issues. However, I can see why there could be problems with the prestige class. So I'll set up a different scenario, where I will not move towards the martial artist (lets assume it's not avaible for my character for whatever reason). I now have a Vanara / Sen'garak progressing as a multiclassed Rogue/monk. My initial question still stands: How could I turn him into a character fitting the concept? Jumping, climbing, combat maneuvering, trap and poison using (if sen'garak) spider like character? what feats would you recommend, what could turn up, what progression through feats, or even which feat chains would you recommend. I'm still looking myself, and came across the trait: Accelerated Drinker. An assassin, I would imagine, would embrace the idea of a contingency potion to help escapes, in the case of something going wrong, even more so after an episode like the one my character had with his mother. Would this lead to perhaps a Drunken Master archetyped Monk instead? So on and so forth. All I really need is ideas to work on from. This should be simpler to work with, if you are still interested in helping out :) Pinqh [/QUOTE]
