Some amazing work in this thread!
I'd like to slip in a request for a character portrait too. It's for my first character I created after about 10 years out of the hobby, and I'm so amazed he's survived to level 8 that I'm going to risk any bad luck and go for it.
His name's Feravel and he's a Forgotten Realms moon elf. He's about 6'1'' and of a muscular build (weighs about 130lbs). He has pale blue skin and short cropped black hair (about half an inch long). His forehead reveals a headband of Intellect.
He's currently wearing full length mithral chain which has been threaded through with other metals by skilled dwarven smiths. (Ysgardian Heathwire from Arms & Equipment). He's wearing a deep green cape and has a masterwork potion-belt round his waist. Under his back is a backpack, and on his feet, Boots of Striding and Springing..
When he's in the thick of battle he uses a magically balanced, mercurial greatsword. The balancing lets him wield this one-handed, which is frightening, especially if he's just ran a shocking grasp through it. To finish the opponents off, however, he likes to take a step back and unload two scorching rays in their face!
Ah, Duskblades are fun!
Hopefully one of you guys fancies sketching this acrobatic wonder of arms and magic
