Maybe Big B should be given similar special abilities to that of CHARNAME. He could DUHM at the beginning of the fight, and cure himself. Maybe even transform into the slayer if the going gets tough, but thats a stretch.

Well, you'd have to do some super mega cheese to get a hold of 6 Robes of Vecna and 6 Amulets of Power [img]tongue.gif[/img]

1 Mage/Sorcerer = 6-8 PRATIs

Why should he be able to turn into the slayer? He hasn't lost his soul to have the slayer take over his body. Giving him similar abilities to CHARNAME is a good idea.

But I think it's against Balthazar not only to become the Slayer, but to use any of his Bhaal powers. He's trying to remove the taint from the land, correct? Then why on earth would he go Slayer, moving him closer to the taint he's trying so hard to stamp out? That's why him being a monk seems right. It's all about mastering yourself.

Just like CHARNAME? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Oh, well, i never bothered checking up on if it does anything, since it still doesn´t do enough to save his sorry ass. [img]tongue.gif[/img]


So... Anyway...
Instead of Bhaal powers, i think some sort of psionics would suit him better...
I mean, the question is, since he´s such an lousy fighter, then what HAS he been practicing all that time? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

</font>[/QUOTE]No. It was never stated that CHARNAME has to be a monk. Monks can't be hastened, but I suggest having his lunar stance or something cause his movement rate to increase even more. Well, it actually doesn't even need to increase his movement rate. Maybe it could just give him an extra attack or so per round.

What about the passive ones, like permanent Negative Plane Protection or Physical Resistances? While I agree that he certainly wouldn't use Slayer Transformation or Hand of Murder, he certainly needs *SOMETHING* if he's going to stand up to the PC (let alone the entire party), and that something could come from nothing other than his Bhaal essence. He probably wouldn't see anything wrong with using it to enforce his views on what should become of the Bhaalspawn situation: If his Bhaal essence is what got him INTO this mess, then it can darn well get him OUT.

I agree on that point; I just can't see him using the spell-type powers.

And I agree, he DOES need something if he's going to stand up to the PC. Maybe you proved yourself wrong... He certainly doesn't do a good job of standing up to the PC. If only he had used his essence...

Maybe a mod where, in the beginning parts of the fight, he doesn't use his bhall powers out of whatever belief he has, and then when he gets to near death or something, a conversation comes up, and he comments on how much better you are than he thought or something, then he starts using bhall powers? Stupid idea?
