[QUOTE="tleilaxu, post: 326539, member: 1289"] Heavy Metal - Taarna segment Taarna: Clearly a Paladin and most likely high level. First, Taarna has a Special Mount which is not one of the normal choices. It is some kind of flying bird. It seems quite intelligent so we will give it maximum advancement, putting Taarna somewhere between 15th and 20th level. We never see Taarna remove disease or cast Paladin spells (barring some kind of lightning thing at the end) but she does possibly lay on hands to her mount before they fly off for the last time. Taarna obviously follows a paladin code of conduct, part of which may include a vow of silence. Taarna generally has high stats, although her Str and Con do not seem to be exceptional. We will call her a 15th level paladin, with weapon focus in longsword, and cleave. (the longsword is most likely vorpal) Barbarian leader: The barbarian leader must have levels in barbarian of course. Make him a barbarian 12th level, with Exotic Weapon proficiency in his mechanical hand and the Leadership feat. The town council is clearly made up of wizards, who cast[i] Sending[/i] or [i]Demand[/color] to summon Taarna. They are most likely lower level, averaging perhaps 5th, with the leader high enough level to cast the spell (9th level for sending or 17th for demand). HIGHLIGHTS AND GAFFES In the beginning we see a group of barbarians (likely 1st level warriors and 1st level barbarians) invade a town full of 1st level commoners and experts. The wizards? in charge of town summon Taarna, likely with use of the sending spell. In the bar fight Taarna demonstrates her Cleave ability and possibly the Vorpal properties of her weapon by decapitating two Barbarians with a single swing of her sword (obviously she rolled a crit and may even have improved critical). When Taarna is captured by the barbarians she obviously missed her Reflex save of the trap (i'd say it was DC 20). No real gaffes but the nature of the spell Taarna casts at the end is a mystery[/i] [/QUOTE]
