Statting "The Bride"

In D&D terms, the 5PPXHT _is_ quivering palm. Make a touch attack, if you succeed, the target dies. The fact you have to touch 5 pressure points is flavour text.RangerWickett said:
If you take that as a literal requirement for the build, then the Bride is a 15th level monk at minimum. Of course, if you take that literally, you also end up giving her funky stuff like abundant step and diamond body; the former makes her escape from the coffin trivial, and the latter makes Pai Mei's death from poisoning rather dubious. Some things fit into the D&D scheme of things better than others.
Me, I'd take the thematic route and say that the defining characteristic of the Bride, in terms of game mechanics, is the ability to kick ass with a sword and with kung fu. That makes her a fighter/monk if you want to stay within the core rules. Specifics are best handled in a ruleset tailored for the genre.

Go with fighter2/rogue3/shou disciple5/assassin10. It is a truly brutal class combo... would be awesomely wicked to play
Will have to see if Borc (the DM for the campaign I play a Shou in) will let me take assassin…

In Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon one of the main characters died of a poisoned dart- otherwise you'd think he was a high level monk too.
I like the idea of the bride being a monk 15; but you'd have to house-rule away diamond body (monk 11) and abundant step (monk 12). Maybe replace them with fighter feats? Modifying the monk class slightly might be easier and more elegant than doing a ton of multiclassing.
Oh, and remember to put ranks into balance, too! I remember the Bride fighting on a hand rail in Volume 1. That was nifty.
