A pen. (Mightier than a sword)

Words of entanglement
Utterances of confounding

A bill of unbearable weight

A shield of arrogant attitude

Dentures of biting. (Stuns opponents)

Book of precedents which nullify 'Dentures of biting' and things like arrows etc.

Oh c'mon Bruce! Don't be boring! A Lawyer wouldn't use those sort of weapons, what's the point of having another fighter?

Think I agree with Yorick (or was that Knobh....nevermind http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif) here, Bruce. I mean the idea is fun but what's the point of having another fighter and just calling him a Lawyer? I really liked yorick's suggestions but I can see they are hard to realise in a game like this. Maybe if you create a weapon like a Pen +2 and give it some nice lawyer-related storie and abilities, and just make use of a dagger proficiency for want of sth better like a pen and briefcase proficiency? And Accord *is* making a good point....backstabbing is what they're good at http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Bruce now that I've caught you anyway, I asked you before but you didn't read it I think... I thought you told me on the old Forum that you had ME or chronic fatigue and you helped me out a bit, I'd like to know how you are? Your advice to see a doctor has proven justified, since I was also diagnosed with it some months/weeks ago.

Don't forget innate ability to cast confusion, chaotic commands, and feeblemind several times per day.

Immune to charm.

Melusine 05-11-2001 04:01 PM

Glad to hear you're OK... do you have any idea what kind of pills you are taking?

I think the Lawyer could use a dagger as a pen and maybe a blunt weapon like a club as a briefcase. Wouldn't it be cool if you could give him some sort of ability like the Taunt ability from Planescape: Torment's Morte (if you don't know the game, it means that he can literally taunt an enemy to death or atleast provoke them into attack making them so angry they can't think straight. maybe you could use a sort of feeblemind effect)

the thing is the vitemins where specially desighned for what i lacked in they used a machine to mesure what i lacked and gave me the apropriate pills.

-----------------
the lawyer is going to be a cleric with the innate abilitys of imprisonment and sue (removes some of the opponants gold and gives it to you) there will be others but thease are the first two,

The sueing is a good idea!
Too bad about the medicine but I don't think it would help me anyway as I don't have a lack of any vitamins, I simply have ME and there is no medicine for that http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif
Glad they work for you though! Good luck with the laywer and keep us updated!

100% Pick Pocket?
25 charisma?

Lord Shield 05-12-2001 08:50 AM

Maybe the CHarisma should be balanced with:
.
A really low Rep
Cannot be Good alignment (they do it for the money after all)
Definitely dagger (backstabbers extraodinaire)
Maybe 'Doom' spell? Or Emotion/Hopelessness

Bruce The Aussie 05-12-2001 08:53 AM

i was going for a low charisma because nobody likes lawyers

What kind of lawyer will it be? Prosecutor and defense attourney types should be able to cast imprison / freedom, respectively. There are several subtypes of civil court lawyers, as well. A lawyer might specialize in class action lawsuits, divorce / custody cases (such a character could tamper with summoned creatures) or virtually anything. There are lots of possibilities; I like the idea.

Philosophically, I'm chaotic evil. In practice, well.... (Dang conscience!)

Gimmick 05-12-2001 02:42 PM

Hmm...

+3 Longsword, Injunction - Casts hold person, hold mosters, etc
+2 Shield, Restraining Order - Casts teleportation field, repulse undead, etc
Ring of Frivilous Lawsuits - Gives + pickpocket %
Golf Club of Accuracy - launches bullets
+3 Club, Fillibuster - Casts sleep
