[QUOTE="Drowbane, post: 3413722, member: 23396"] Back in 2e I ran a mini campaign that featured a number of Bhaalspawn PCs. None of them initially knew what they were, or why they had special powers. Until one of them had eventually slain the others (directly and indirectly) and claimed thier powers for his own. At which point the other players were playing more normal characters (this was 2e, alot of whackiness around anyways!) In 2e, I ran it as random Wild Talents that manifested when story elements needed them. None of the players knew what thier PC could do, some of them had more than one power. Blake, the PC who eventually won out against his rivals, was a Human Thief with a few Wild Talents (I think he had 4 to start). When 3e came out, Blake was eventually reproduced as a Human Rogue with the Psionic Template. Later he was rebuilt as Human Rogue / guild thief with the Bhaalspawn Template. Some yrs later UA came out, and we cooked up a Bhaalspawn Bloodline for all three strengths. Hide in Plain Sight and Death Attack were amongst it's final abilities. Thats the last incarnation of Blake that I know of... [/QUOTE]
