11-11-03, 08:23 PM There's a whip-based Lasher PrC somewhere in the books. Probably either Sword and Fist, or Masters of the Wild, though I can't recall which, and I may be entirely wrong. Good PrC for whippers though,

11-11-03, 08:29 PM Yes, but does it include a double jump?

11-11-03, 10:30 PM LOL ... LOL. (i'm sorry) Lament of Innocence is not the only Castlevania Game. the Belmonts have never been known for particularly graceful jumps. DeNasty now he could jump.

11-11-03, 10:32 PM OH and i forgot Belmonts strive to destroy Vampires, and use Holy symbols to destroy all enemies on the screen. sounds like a Paladin to me.

11-11-03, 10:33 PM Take a look at rangers, fighters, and paladins.

Throw in the "Hunter of the Undead" and "Lasher" prestige classes.

Now you have a Belmont.

A whip-wielding vampire slayer is, to say the least, a bit of a niche figure, I wouldn't expect tog et very far without some multi- and prestige-classing.

Richter Belmont from SoTN had an uberjump. That thing rocked. If yer gonna make a Belmont class, base it off Rick. (Juste also had a double jump, but then again, as did whoever was in CoTM.)

11-11-03, 11:16 PM The whip would be pretty poor against a vampire; especially since the whip does subdual damage and vampires are um... undead.

However the Nagamari(???) from Masters of the Wild would be a similar yet more effective weapon. (???'s are for the name, I don't own Masters of the Wild and so am unsure of the name)

Also the whip-dagger from Sword and Fist would at least be better than the regular whip.

So yeah, like Ithilorien said, mix a little "Hunter of the Undead" and a little Lasher unless you've got the crazy whip from Masters , then you just use Hunter of the Undead, and you've got a pretty good whip wielding vampire killer.

Asi the Red.
