[QUOTE="der_kluge, post: 1176279, member: 945"] That Eidolon idea is an interesting one. I'll have to borrow my friends ELH and get some more details on that. The Inevitable one is interesting, but this character is human, and inevitables are constructs, so that would be a bit of a stretch, I'm afraid. I'm leaning on the Yuan-ti idea expressed above. Weird enough to work, but still within the rules, and just plain bizarre to boot. My story, that I have thus far, is that some faeries imposed some magic on a Yuan-ti king to prevent him from producing a male heir. This magic worked, and the faeries watched secretly as daughter after daughter was born to the Yuan-ti king. But, because this particular offpsring was purebred, i.e., almost nearly human, the magic was not strong enough to contain him, and he was born despite their effort. So, the faeries stole the child and sent him away to a foreign land, where the church got ahold of it. Why the Faeries did that exactly, I'm still toying with it. My working theory is that if they just killed the child, the Yuan-ti king would simply resurrect him, and if they imprisoned him, then he would just free him. So, they hid the child, believing that if he was neither dead, nor imprisoned that they would be safe. But now the child is grown, and has just landed on the lost continent that he was removed from some 30 years prior. Oh, how the faeries will be in a panic once they realize the Yuan-ti prince has come back of his own free will. Anyone can feel free to modify this in any way. Like I said, I'm still working out those details. [/QUOTE]
