Skills and Feats: Appraise +1, Balance +3, Bluff +9, Climb +5, Concentration +9, Craft (any) +2, Decipher Script +3, Diplomacy +8, Disable Device +6, Disguise +4, Escape Artist +2, Forgery +1, Gather Information +4, Hide +5, Intimidate +12, Jump +7, Knowledge (arcana) +2, Knowledge (local Rasheman) +3, Listen +3, Move Silently +4, Open Lock +5, Perform (any) +7, Profession (any) +2, Search +1, Sense Motive +3, Sleight of Hand +5, Spellcraft +6, Spot +3, Swim +2, Tumble +3, Use Magic Device +8, Use Rope +4; Combat Expertise, Dreadful Wrath, Improved Trip, Power Attack.
Languages: Common, Goblin, Rashemi.
Arcane Resistance (Su): Gain a bonus equal to Charisma modifier on saving throws against spells and spell-like effects.
Dark Companion (Ex): You conjure an illusory panther from the darkness of night to be your companion. Any enemy adjacent to your dark companion takes a -2 penalty to saving throws and AC. Your companion's speed equals yours, acts during your turn, and it follows your mental commands perfectly. Since it has no real substance, it cannot attack or otherwise affect creatures or objects. To gain this class feature, the hexblade has given up the ability to summon a familiar.
Evasion (Ex): If the hexblade is exposed to any effect that normally allows him to attempt a Reflex saving throw for half damage, he takes no damage with a successful saving throw.
Hexblade's Curse (Su): Once per day, as a free action, a hexblade can unleash a curse upon a foe. The target takes a -2 penalty on attacks, saving throws, ability checks, skill checks, and weapon damage rolls for 1 hour. A successful Will save (DC 16) negates the effect. The target must be visable to the hexblade and within 60 feet. Any foe who resist the effect cannot be affected again by the same curse for 24 hours.
Mettle (Ex): If the hexblade is exposed to any effect that normally allows him to attempt a Fortitude or Will saving throw to negate or for half damage, he takes no damge with a successful saving throw.
Sneak Attack (Ex): He does an extra 1d6 points of damage on any successful attack against flat-footed or flanked targets, or against a target that has been denied its Dexterity bonus for any reason. This applies to ranged attacks against targets up to 30 ft. away.
Trapfinding (Ex): You can find, disarm, or bypass traps with a DC of 20 or higher. You can use the Search skill to find, and the Disable Device skill to disarm, magical traps (DC 25 + the level of the spell used to create it). If your Disable Device result exceeds the trap’s DC by 10 or more, you discover how to bypass the trap without triggering or disarming it.
Hexblade Spells Known (1 per day; caster level 2nd): 1st-distract assailant (DC 15), undectable alignment.
Possessions: +2 chain shirt, +1 heavy flail, armbands of might, ring of protection +1, light crossbow with 20 +1 bolts, 10 silver bolts, 20 masterwork bolts, spell component pouch.

========================================================================
Armor Mastery (Ex): Argath can ignore the standard speed restriction for wearing medium armor.
Fighting Challenge (Ex): As a swift action, Argath can issue a challenge against a single opponent. The target of this ability must have an Intelligence of 5 or higher, have a language of some sort, and have a CR greater or equal to his level minus 2. If the target meets those requirements, Argath gains a +1 moral bonus on Will saves, attacks, and damage rolls for seven rounds against that opponent.
Knight’s Challenge: Argath can issue a fighting challenge or test of mettle five times per day.
Knight’s Code: Argath does not gain bonuses when flanking, never strikes a flat-footed opponent, and never deals lethal damage to a helpless foe. If he violates this code, he looses one of his knight’s challenges for the day, (if he has none, then he takes a -2 on attack rolls and saves for the rest of the day.)
Shield Block (Ex): During his action, Argath can designate a single opponent as the target of this ability and gain a +1 shield bonus against that opponent.

If they fail, they are forced to attack him with their melee, ranged, or spell attacks in preference over other targets.
========================================================================
Description: Sir Argath is tall and broad shouldered. He boasts much about his prowess and can easily back it up in battle. His ego is large and he never backs down from a fight. In battle, he abides by the rules of fair combat, but when things become dangerous or over his head, he's doesn't have qualms about cheating or taking advantage of his opponent. He’s the leader of the Black Blade gang.

| I'll request a trio of middling (CR6-CR12ish, perhaps higher) members of the Cult of the Dragon, preferably including one dragonborn bastard and a demented spellcaster/necromancer or two, plus a couple of "black ops" sorts (say ~CR9ish) to deploy in the darkness and keep my players awake at night. A handful of little ones is optional, and probably not worth the time to burn up since they'll just be cloned and killed off in waves anyhow. I'm curious about your ideas, Diffan. |

I'm guessing v3.5 and in that case which sourcebook are Dragonborn found in? I do have Dragon Magic and the Draconomicon but I don't think they're in there. As for the demented spellcaster/necromancer, how about a Necropolitan (or a simple human works) dread necromancer/wyrm wizard? I'll have to check the Prerequisites on the Wyrm Wizard, but I think they'll work since both are Arcane spellcasters. He/She could even have a small, undead dragon Familiar too  ! I have access to book involving Taint, but I don't know if you want to use those mechanics or worry about a character's taint score.

Well, we can either do up an actual character with class stats or advance an existing Monster. Black Ops has so many styles in D&D from the lurking assassin with death attack and a ton of sneak attack die to a drow sniper scout to invisible stalkers lol.
But if your going to burn through them, then you might want to keep it simple so rogue 5/assassin 4 can work in a pinch OR you can go further and make them Shades where darkness makes them darn hard to kill (regeneration, DR, SR all in darkness is rough). |

Hmmm, shades are a bit overkill for this application. The Cult is more of a minor BBEG this time around, just another evil complexity in an already messy situation, almost a side-quest or red-herring sort of idea. Basically, I'm thinking about a small pack - the three leaders already mentioned, the strongest one in charge but the trio probably not working as cooperatively as they really should, plus their little army of several dozen cultists; plus their two "black ops" henchmen (to spy, harass, steal, assassinate, defame the PCs, and cause general Cultish mayhem as required), plus their small stealth teams; plus maybe an adult dragon or dracolich (with perhaps an undead Cult blaster riding bareback) to call upon.
I do any rules, all rules ... chances are I'd tweak a little bit to fit into the homebrew anyhow. These are only intended to be minor villains (but hey, you never know) so extensive workup is probably not needed because half of them will probably die off the first time they bash heads against the PCs.
Like I said, I'm really more interested in ideas and character hooks than fully developed NPC dossiers; though I'll be happy to use whatever you might want to offer. "My" NPC style has apparently become a little bit predictable to my players, so "other" NPC styles keep them off-balance and force me to experiment with new ideas and possibilities. Many of the NPCs you've generated here are interesting, and the three I've already used (again, with some very minor tweaks) proved quite interesting, er sorry, two of them kinda got killed though. |

Ok, well as far as Black Ops go, generic rogue/assassins work well, as I said. Lots of ranks in Hide/Move Silently or Stealth work great as do social skills such as Bluff, Diplomacy, and Sense Motive. Not only can they sneak around at try to kill your PCs from shadows, but they excell at talking to important people to slander their good name. Add in a dread necromancer for better Undead/Cult of the Dragon-esque flavor and style and it becomes really interesting.

This is as usually expected against PCs but the better mechanics offered, the greater resistance and often more fun they have fighting them .

Not a problem. I'm sure the NPCs I've created get killed all the time. They're pretty much sacks of numbers and hit points for the PCs to hit, lol. I try to add in as much flavor as possible with those stats, but they're mostly there for the Plug-n-Play approach.

| I could use a roughly EL 10-12 (Pathfinder/3.5) Zhent Commander who uses two-handed weapons. Doesn't need to be optimized, but realmsing him up is key. |

Not a problem. Do you want Pathfinder classes, feats, etc...or v3.5? I know there is little difference, but it makes it easier for me to know what SRD to pull from .

Go ahead and use pathfinder. I'm using pathfinder rules with FR books allowed to run a Pools of Darkness remake in 1350.
The only set in stone thing for me with this guy (and I figured I'd adjust the finished stats accordingly) is that he has a two-handed sword that was imbued with magic from Sylune's husband's staff. This was part of a PC's backstory that never worked out. It was supposed to have been imbured with the magic shortly after Aubrey's assassination by Sylune, but then soon after stolen by a Zhent officer. The PC was on a quest to reclaim it and then avenge his father's imprisonment by the new Lord of Shadowdale. That PC did not end up really happening, but I kept the side-quest in there.
Then the PCs gotten turned into mithral statues and missed out on assisting Khelben with that business. They did, however, run into the Zhent Commandant (an agent of Fzoul's) at the outpost near Phlan in 1340 and he provided them with surreptious help (by not executing them) and is going to show up again as a source of possible help in Hulburg while they try to solve it's Pool of Darkness issue. |

Ok, well by going Pathfinder, I'm gonna go with the Cavalier class, maybe dipping 3 to 5 levels in Fighter. Also, there's this really nifty Web Enhancement for a Zhent Soldier which acts as a sub-class for the Fighter so I'll incorporate that as well. How does Fighter 5/Cavalier 6 work?
There are no Prestige Classes for Zhentarim Soldiers and not too many good ones for Two-Weapon Fighters in general so I'll just stick with the Base Classes.
As for the Sword, havning no prior knowledge of what Sylune's husband's staff did how exactly do you want the sword to be mechanically? I feel this weapon shouldn't be factored into the usual NPC weath by level, so around a +3 or +4 weapon? Maybe adding the keen property or even some spell-like abilities? Gaining magical properties from a staff, I could see the sword having some unique spells that can be used a limited number of times per day like scorching ray, touch of idiocy, or even something like darkness.
As for Ability Score, going with 32-point buy and all stats starting at 8. |

Ha - ack. Aumry, not Aubrey.
Yeah, do the base mechanics (bonus and properties) within the constraints of NPC wealth. In additional it essentially had charges of a summon monster spell that would summon umber hulks. I would say Summon Monster VI (Umber Hulk Only)/1 charge or Summon Monster VII (1d3 Umber Hulks Only)/2 charges. 7 charges remaining (and it cannot be recharged). |

Suprising enough, in the Champions of Valor web enhancement PDF. There's a few sub-levels for Fighters that pertain to Zhent Soldiers. |
