[QUOTE="jasin, post: 3020168, member: 7531"] Foxy fun... Not quite as twinked out as Lianne the insane-Cha bard/paladin/samurai/iaijutsu master, I think, but still a fun character, both from a powergaming and a roleplaying perspective. ECL 12, 32 points, PC wealth. I might make and post an ECL 20 version later. Seven Devils Clever is an almost frightening example of kitsune potential applied to a pursuit singlemindedly. After being discovered as a shapechanger and chased away from several iaijutsu schools (almost getting killed on two occasions), Seven Devils Clever managed to acquire several written iaijutsu manuals, and she now trains by herself. Most human masters who hear about the kitsune iaijutsu master point out that sheer stubbornness can be mistaken for discipline, but can never make up for its lack. Time will tell, but so far, it would appear that Seven Devils Clever is truly disciplined... or that the masters are simply wrong.
