[QUOTE="Krail Stromquism, post: 1074432, member: 2400"] Doesn't just making them higher level to start with point at a flaw in the game? Sure, I could make a tough hero and keep the character idea flowing (super boy scout, wall of freedom) up until the level where he actually takes the Soldier class. The soldier/gangster is a tougher nut to crack. Jaques Dupree is Originally from France in the Basque region, he was abandoned at a monastery high in the mts and raised a monk (cloistered) as a young boy he ran away to fight for independence but returned to the monastery and lived there most of his adult life...until a troop of highly trained Nazi Assassins assaulted the monastery looking for an artifact known as Odins Eye! they killed many brothers and stole the artifact. Jaques knew he could no longer stay. With just the priest clothes on his back and a meat cleaver tucked inside his jacket Jaques went as far away as he could from his old life. Chicago. After a quick trip to Norway and witnessing insane Nazi Scientist experiments he decided he'd had enough. So with the help of his new boss, the Green Hornet, he would fake his own death! In a huge explosion Jaques was dead and the Ruby Rooster was BORN!!! yeah I know thats crazy...just crazy enough to work! So while Jaques is dead as far as the party knows hes going to be running around the world kidnapping people and all sorts of fun. The basic concept for Jaques Dupree is this: He goes out as a young man does things he has been raised to know are wrong and comes to hide behind that upbringing and tries to do the right thing...But when the monster is attacked he sees there no running from the evil in the world let alone yourself. So he goes off to confront it and ultimately looses. So he embraces it. In the future levels of Jaques Dupree I had planned a few more levels of Gangster and then Mystic levels from there on out. Oh and taking the Secret Identity feat for the Ruby Rooster!!! which I converted a Mini for, pics over at [url]http://www.paratime.ca/d20/pulp/index.html[/url] Anyhow, can you peep the shizzle my nizzle is in? And if you think thats the dumbest thing you've ever seen my replacement character for Jaques, so as to keep the party in the dark, is named LORD GOBBLER, and he is a Tarzan spoof. His family goes down in a plane over rural Arkansas and is raised by flock of wild turkeys! then hes discovered by a traveling circus, hes made into an exhibit, biting the heads off rats and throwing knives and all that. Then one day a Lawyer brings his family to the circus and takes pity on poor LORD GOBBLER and vows to find his real family. He does and it turns out hes heir to the WILD TURKEY Whiskey company. Background is Secret past becoming Aristocrat, all his feats would be taken in WINDFALL. just trying to see how rich I can make a guy that can talk to turkeys. so there. [/QUOTE]
