Basic personality:Good hearted but generally grumpy. Alittle "holier than thou". He ultimately gives up on trying to convince you not to do something as long as your hearts in the right place. Doesn't generally like people. He'd most likely save your ass everytime but never let you live it down once.
Can be an ass but hey.... thats Edder for ya
The hard assed warrior priest

[Xaositect_Crayon]

I forgot to put Edder's weapons

two hammers
one called Boom the other called Shakalaka

they are +1. Boom has +1 to damage and Shakalaka is +1 to AC and thaco (on top of there base enchantments).

The sling is called Lucy (+2 to thaco) and he starts out with 40 silver bullets (+2 damage vs. Shapeshifters) and 20 Holywater bullets (+2 damage vs. Undead)

Um....

Also, what's the blurb behind the kits?

[Xaositect_Crayon]

blurb?

and it's just mine (or your if you choose to use it's) brainstorming session.... not everything is finished

[Andyr]

I meant, the background text and reasons for the kits' abilities (eg the ranger's weapons restrictions).

[Xaositect_Crayon]

oh
I dont have any stories for them but
Lightfoot = can only use lightweight weapons. The whole idea for them is the ability to atagonise the ranks with hit and runs...

Staffer = basically an answer to the effect of noone ever makes a staff fighter... Which is a very good weapon in it's own right
he's got added AC bonuses for his specialisation

can you help me out with Edders twin hammers names?

[Xaositect_Crayon]

Character

Name: Lin Tai Yu
Female/Lawful Neutral/Human/Monk
level: (no idea but high enough to "fit" into this kind of category)
Stats:
Str: 11
Dex: 15
Con: 11
Int: 12
Wis: 17
Cha: 9

Special abilities:
quite frankly... I'd give this broad as many as I could.... she's supposed to be an encyclopedia of special tactics... like Roshi from early dragonball... or Genkai.
It would include the offensive/defensive spins, Kai and a couple generic missile attacks with "ki" based names.

Personality: A perverted old lady. Was betrayed in the past by a lover and chose to hide her sadness in pleasures of the flesh until about 20 years ago. She then decided to take a small number of apprentices (other monks only) to learn her styles. She leads the Tai Yu House (a martial arts school with a very exclusive membership.

I wish I could make her True Neutral but.... Monks cant be anything but Lawful. why is the coolest class there is lawful only.... I am not the biggest fan of lawful characters... they seem uptight

[Rastor]

You can make NPC monks any alignment you want.

[Xaositect_Crayon]

but dont they turn up fallen?

ANYWAYS

this isnt JUST my thread you can submit your own stuff here if you want...

[Andyr]

The whole of the forum's for that stuff.

And yeah, you can make an NPC monk that's not Lawful without game problems.

[Gherald]

Lightfoot looks too powerful. People already complain about the Swashbuckler's +1 AC every 5 levels, and you want a +1 every 4 ?!?

Then again, I suppose Lightfoot won't have a way out of the studded-leather-max restriction like the Swashbuckler's Use Any Item, but still...

And whats up with him being able to use halberds but not axes? Oh well, you're pretty much limiting him to Staff of the Ram, Impaler, or a good short sword.

Suggestion: Instead of lighfoot, call him Aiel, and think of the short swords as "knives" =)

As for your other stuff, Staffer looks extremely under-whelming, Edder is hardly an original idea (many have suggested archer/cleric multi + slings), and (seemingly) whole books have been written about building monks, so I couldn't care less about your Lin-Tai-whatever person.

And I don't see why you think it would make sense to make a 'true' monk that isn't lawful... a fallen one, sure, but I've allways thought of monks as lawful by definition.

[Xaositect_Crayon]

oh well.... I've only been here for a little while so I wouldnt know what's overused...
I just wanted to make a female Roshi with Lin Tai Yu ^.^ and since there is no "unarmed" proficiency for fighters... outside of planescape... I had to go with monks *shrugs*

new staffer ability
Whirlwind guard for 1 round +2 to ac.... enemy takes 1/2 of the damage they would have dealt every time they miss... can be used once a day

might be a bit too much but I admit they are underwhelming.... but they can use any armor unlike Lightfoot...
