This is going *somewhat* off topic...

[Stone Wolf]

Well, we're discussing an orphaned character, so it isn't too off-topic.

i don't know it's just that i'm tired of plain old boring NPCs

being a weird race dosn't necessarily make the npc intresting, imo w/ mods theirs a bit to many extraplanar npc's. now i'll still play some of them 'cause they look like intresting characters, but not b/c there a wierd race.


and i just see rakshasa as less likely to want a partial human than a dragon or demon.

here is basically what the tp2 should look like

BACKUP ~dlkit/backup~

there's some more, but you get the idea

as for the HLA, the tutorial says

~C!3~

or something like that, but check IESDP for HLA tables. A regular fighter would be Fi0.

anyone know where i could post a topic on this mod

How about the Modders Room? That's for mods without forums.

I'm not saying their can't be a 1/2 rakasha, i'm just saying it should come up.

Amellyssa gets her power from her essence inside her Bhaal placed enough of his essence in her (a lot) that she uses that to perform her skills



deathstalkers are priests of bhaal 


to actually become a priestess on bhaalessence alone would make her far morepowerful then the pc, the supposed most powerful bhaalspawn. changing the plot to make her the most powerful bhaalspawn would make her the main character and wouldn't be a good thing.

otherwise i really like the character, but she should probably be a fighter, thief or ranger kit with some priestss like abilities.


--------------------

PC the most powerful Bhaalspawn? Certainly not. Most of the Five are much more powerful then the PC . the reason that he is victorious in the end is that he has got a team of trusted companions while they only have minions . If the PC can turn into Ravager, then she can cast cleric spells .

(and actually, you can have a PC who is a priest of Lathander and then choose all the evil paths and still retain your powers. Do you think it is Lathandar that gives him spells at the end of the game?)

The whole half Rhakkshasa or half dragon thing confuses the heck out of me.. half demon, well I can figgure that out. Incubus, Succubus, Demonic interventions sure..

------------------------------------

Half dragon? Without being crass.. how do the eggs get fertilized? The most interesting case of this would be a Succubus trying to seduce a lizardman..

Succubus - "So, what do you think?"
Lizard man - "Okay, you lay eggs now, I fertilize them later!"

I suppose there is some age old question to this;

Can polymorphed beings reproduce while polymorphed?
When they return to their natural form what happens to the embryo?

In the case of very incompatable types (female dragons dont have a uteris), what what would happen?

If a male Dragon polymorphed into a human wouldn't their seed be human, not draconic?

Magical reproduction - Wouldn't the dragon object to their offspring being such a low life form?

--------------------------------------

Half Rhakkshasa?

Rhakshasas in AD&D, last time I checked like to have PC races for diner (literally)

It's like trying to breed a cat and a dog.. it just doesn't work.

Rhakkshasa spell immunity is so insanely high (or was in the last edition I played) that the liklyhood of a magical conception would be almost impossible.

In a different game system, in which trolls are a playable race there were indeed troll elf hybrids (3 of them), which took magical intervention, years and years of failed attempts, and a 30 year courtship between the two characters. But the makeup of trolls in that game system are very different! The plotlines involved in a hybrid of non PC types is insanely complex unless the sire is a god/demigod or equivelent (IE Baal)

-----------------------------------

Okay, feel free to be offended, but wouldn't it be more logical to just say to heck with the halfbreed, and make a straight out Rhakkshasa, which joins the group in order to manipulate them for their own grim amusement?

I guess they are stuck in their current form while pregnant.

That would be my conclusion as well.

half-rakshasha don't exist though....perhaps a runt rakshasha that wasn't killed at birth.... ???

[Awake]
