Reighnhell 11-25-05, 05:28 PM	Well, I'm a big fan of using what is available when necessary. Nightmare was a human warrior possed by a evil artifact. I would declare Nightmare a Fighter Blackguard with a template to represent the powers granted by Soul Edge. I did up a Nightmare write up on another forum, but I will re-post it here. Nightmare, the Azure Knight (as of Soul Calibur I) Corrupted Human Fighter 12/BlackGuard 2 Medium Humanoid [evil] HD: 12d10+48, 2d10+8(126 hp) Init: +6 Speed: 30ft AC: 27 (10 Base, +1 Dex, + 10 Armor, +4 Natural Armor, +2 Deflection), Touch: 13 Flat: 26 Base Attack: 13 Grp: 19: Attack: 26 Melee (2d6+16/17-20, Soul Edge) Full Attack: +26/ +21/ +16 Melee (2d6+16/17-20, Soul Edge) SA: Detect Good, Poison Use, Smite Good(1/day) SQ: Ageless*, Aura of Evil, Dark Blessing, Darkvision (60ft), Damage Reduction 5/ Good & Magic, Fast Healing 1, Marked* Resist Acid, Cold, Fire 5, SR 19 AL:CE SV: Fort: +18 Ref: +9 Will: +7 Str: 22 Dex: 15 Con:18 Int:14 Wis:10 Cha:16 Feats: Cleave, Combat Brute (C.

Do not recalculate the creatures HD, base attack bonus, saves, or skill points if it's type changes. Size and Type: Gains the [evil] subtype. Armor Class: The base creature’s natural armor bonus increases by +4.

Corrupted Creatures natural attacks are treated as Evil and Magic for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction. Abilities: +4 Str,+2 Dex,+2 Con, -2 Wisdom Skills: +2 racial bonus to Intimidate Feats: Soul Edge grants it's wielder skills taken from the souls of powerful warriors. Corrupted characters gain 4 feats of their choice from the Fighter Feat list, assuming the base creature meets the prerequisites. Environment: Same as base creature Challenge Rating: ?

Shawnzy 11-26-05, 01:58 AM	Wow, Thanks! That helps a lot.
