the loss of that route does not necessarily mean she will loose levels...
but then i dont agree with loosing levels.


but id definitly say master infiltrator myself.
rogue 10/ MI 5

cant look up owers and feats though, although some of them are still around in 4e from 3.5, like alertness....

you know get Tom to do it, do one of both, and do a poll on it to see which does better amongst the fans.

why is being a wizard like being a drow? both are likely to find a dagger in the back from a rival or one looking to further his own goals, fame and power

Well, I'm sorta thinking the transition between editions offers me an excuse to build her at a lower level.

Don't get me wrong or misunderstand: I loved her 3.5 build, but she was only that high in level because she needed to be to have all the powers she had in the books. We went to a good deal of effort to qualify for her prestige classes at the minimum level (both skill ranks and feats wise). If I could have managed it, she'd have been like 8th-10th level. The other characters in tGT and Depths are about that level, and she's about comparable.

And, at CR 16-17, she could measure up comparably in a duel with Drizzt (or even win), and I suspect he could take her apart without too much difficulty.

Cheers

I am cool with where she is, it is D who is under-leveled. To do some stuff he does he should be almost a Demi-god. So I like her where you guys have her now!

I guess we'll see what she looks like in 4e FR--if she shows up at all!

I'm glad to see people interested, though. That's what makes things happen--speculation about the character, positive reviews on the web, etc., etc. If enough people clamor for any given character, that character's like to show up again and again.

Cheers

I am clamoring

Good to hear it! I hope you'll not be disappointed.

In the meantime, the more people read her and talk about her (hint hint--tell your friends!), the better.

I would certainly love to write more about her--and trust me. I have stuff to reveal about her that is liquid awesome.

Erik,

With the way you write a kick ass fight scene, I would love to see you take on a good ole slug fest with some heavy Magic going back at forth at each other. I think that you would do a battle of spells much differently than any other FR writer and would love to see you tackle a few. Any chance we may get a shot to see you take on something like that?

Thank you for the praise and . . . well, perhaps.

The stories I've thus far told have not been big into the high-octane magic end of things. The end of Ghostwalker has some powerful magic floating around and Gestal pulls off some mighty spells in Depths, but I've thus far leaned more toward the melee end of things. Generally speaking, though, if I were to do magical battle, then you'd better believe that it would hurt. A lot.

Who knows? Maybe my current WiPs will change my previous trend . . .

Cheers

Yeah that was good, but he didn't have to dodge any heavy duty stuff coming back at him. I am envisioning Walkers beautilful battle with Torlic (or was it Talathiel), that type of detail and elegance balanced with strength...but with spells!!

Women in Pantaloons?

Wombats in Purple?

Wallabies in Pittsburgh?

Weeds in Planters?

Hmmm... It could be any of those, I suppose, though Work in Progress is the one I'll assume it is.

One that's being edited (that's about 95% out of my hands), one being test-read (pending edits for me), one I'm about 70% done with the first draft (that's my *main* WiP at the moment), one I'm about 10% done with the first draft, and a couple projects I've got in the planning stages. And the comic book I'm cooking up.

So I guess that means . . . seven? Seven.

A comic book? Wow, good luck with that! And all your other stuff too, of course.

New idea I came up with the other day. And when I saw "came up with," I mean struck me full-fledged, fully-articulated, when I was in the shower (where I do my best thinking).

But this of course has nothing to do with the Realms. (Though I still hold out hope that I might get in on one of those Devil's Due comics that are so cool.)

Cheers

P.S. Toying with the name "Lady Vengeance" as a working title. Thoughts?

Hmmm... I'd have to know a little more about your idea. When I first think "Lady Vengeance," only one image comes to mind. That of an irrate Lady K after she discovers that I used one of her EBERRON novels as a doorstop.

Hey, hey! I'm a small-time admirer of Eberron (or at least certain facets of it, and not the least of which because one of my favorite PCs ever comes from an Eberron game) and at least a casual acquaintence of Keith Baker himself (who is a very nice fellow).

Doesn't take away from my love for the Realms--it's just a different setting. Though I admire certain of the parallels (apparent because they're two settings built as vehicles for the same game), comparing the two is like comparing . . . wallabies and pittsburgh.

Well, for one thing, I like the noir-ish/pulpy/mystery feel that some fantasy has, and that requires a setting more like Eberron than the Realms (where you can certainly do *intrigue,* but it isn't the same sort of thing--Realms murder mysteries aren't the same as, say, Eb murder mysteries). Eberron lends itself to those sorts of stories.

Not to say that all (or even most) Eberron fiction does this--I've only read one Eb book--but the games I've played in the setting have had DMs who definitely went that direction (myself being one of them).

I also like the dragonmarks. A hereditary mark of magic upon a bloodline--that's just cool stuff.

Also, I really like lightning trains and air-ships. I'm a final fantasy fan--what can I say?

Cheers

I was not commenting on the quality of the book or the setting(as I know zero about them), I just meant if you grabbed it up for that, you could have just as easily tossed it out!!

Yes, reduce, *reuse*, and recycle. I heartily approve. Though I've personally found that books by Martin or the late Robert Jordan make better doorstops--not to comment at all on the quality, but only on the sheer volume.

Some of them anyway, indeed. Also really enjoyed the Baldur's Gate games. Never really played NWN, though I've heard good things.

As for MMOs, well, Everquest I could do, but most multiplayer RPGs (like WoW and AoC) seem too complex to me, and I never really liked the concept of competing against other *people* . . . most of whom would be far, far better than me (being able to spend more time practicing, just being more into it, etc). I like co-op or going solo, not PvP (unless I'm the DM).

Congatulations on the upcoming nuptuals!! The 26th is almost here, 3 or 4 weeks you have in store for yourself, Wedding, Honeymoon then GenCon.
The Mrs. and I are coming up on or 14th anniversary and both agree the first year was easy and 2 thru 5 were the toughest, everything afterthat has been easy! So with your what 10 year engagement you guys should have nothing but fun in store for you!

Ah yes, the Victorian engagement has paved through most of our rough spots. Made sure we really, really wanted to get married.

Though of course I knew all along, naturally. Says so in my book.

Cheers
