Paradox - 20 CW Samarai

We should totally make up some arena teams and beat each other up.

No one will want me on their team :(

Hmm... now that I think about it, my namesake (in the supplement and story I wrote for it) would actually work fairly well as a Haunt Shifted wizard or psion, except that the "object" he's possessing is a demiplane that he created. :D

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.

I think the smurf fetish is a given.

Formally a 26 HD Zombie.

Now a pair magical Boots sharing 'most' the same stat block as Zombie Hide Armor- Haunted for convenience.

My namesake started with the MMORPG Shadowbane, as an Irekei Mage-Assassin.

Being an MP system calls for psionics, but there are a fair number of long-duration buffs or single use casts that scream wizard.

The race calls for something desert related, with ties to dragons.


Race: Desert Kobold, Dragonblood Desert Human, Asherati, etc
Classes: Psion/Wizard/Cerebremancer


Shadowbane Skills / DnD Spells, Feats
Mage Armor / Mage Armor + Stoneskin
Reflection / Fire Shield
Poison Dagger / Poison Use Feat, Creation
Blind / Glitterdust
Steal Breath / Spell Matrix: Poison + Entangle
Sneak Attack (opener) / Spell Storing Dagger (vampiric)
Passwall / Dimension Door, Teleport
Sneak / Invisibility Spell
Silence / Silence Spell
Bloodfire / Not sure, some fire DoT
Shadowmantle / Some sort of healing, positive energy block, curse
River of Life / Body Adjustment
Shadowbolt / Energy Stun (cold)




Nunkuruji prefers to hunt solo marks, studying his opponents before striking at the most opportune moment.
The assassin strikes first with spell-storing poisoned daggers in order to cripple his opponent, and then unleashes a spell matrix of debilitating effects to keep his mark as weak as possible. If the target has the potential to heal itself, a shadowmantle effect is used as well. He finishes off his opponent with a barrage of energy stuns in order to keep his target locked down.


There are, of course, better ways to assassinate people in DnD, with all the fun SODs. This simply mirrors the style of play used by the original character.

I would beg to differ considering the name comes from religious texts written 3000 something years before hanna and barbera were ever born.

Also, wouldn't something simple like sleep work better, I mean, they have to have like 1/4 HD or something. Then again, they could be like pixies. I wonder what the stats for a smurf would be.

Alright, I think that I've finally decided to give this a shot.
Just in case you may not be able to guess (for those of you that have been closed-off in a hole for the last 20 years), the "wot" in "wotmaniac" stands for "Wheel of Time" -- as in the series of novels by Robert Jordan.
So, my namesake is that of a insanely rabid apostle of all that which is Wheel of Time; and will not rest until he has converted everyone on the face of the earth to live by the words of Robert Jordan.

Here it goes:
Wotmaniac:
[spoiler]
Human Bard 6/ Evangelist 5/ Exemplar 9
patron deity: James Rigney (the Robert Jordan sect)
stats (28-pt):
STR: 10
DEX: 10
CON: 10
INT: 22 (16 base, +2 levels, +4 book)
WIS: 10
CHA: 24 (16 base, +3 levels, +5 book)

Saves:
fort: +13 (6 base, +7 CHA)
ref: +15 (9 base, +6 INT
will: +15

Skills (all maxed; most of them with skill mastery):
autohypnosis
diplomacy (skill artistry)
bluff
sense motive
search
gather information
knowledge (wheel of time) (skill artistry)
knowledge (religion)
knowledge (history)
knowledge (nobility and royalty)
knowledge (arcana)
perform (oratory) (skill artistry)
concentration (5 ranks)

Languages:
English
Latin
Greek
"Old tongue"

Feats:
1 able learner ; negotiator
3 melodic casting
6 skill focus (perform (oratory))
9  song of the heart
12 speak to the masses
14(B) versatile performer
15 focused performer
17(B) skill focus (diplomacy)
18 focused performance
20(B) investigator

Spells:
0 -- dancing lights; ghost sound; mending; prestidigitation; summon instrument; songbird
1 -- charm person; comprehend languages; silent image; improvisation
2 -- detect thoughts; enthrall; tongues  

Active magic items include +10 skill items for perform and diplomacy ; INT- and CHA-boosting items (preferably +6 each) ; anything else that would help my cause.[/spoiler]

I'm sure that this could be done better, but that's all I have the energy for.

[spoiler]
If you stop ignoring 289 pages telling what the intent is to stretch "more power" in your own god complexion of your interpretation trumps all to cover ability adjustments from aging then I will ignore a quarter page of rules that exist within a sidebar.
I think in this case the grammar is less important than whether the Str and Dex bonus provided to your created undead scales.
