08-08-04, 04:19 PM thanks for the sources reply. at first glance, it looked like it had too many feats, until i went back and read it more carefully (and with your response in mind).

looks good, though without actual access to those sources (i don't have the UA book) i'm not able to fully evaluate it.

08-08-04, 05:35 PM I prefer the flying sorc (sorcerer 6/zhentarim skymage 5/etc) to the flying fighter...nothing is better than raining down death from your own personal dragon..
CompleteSatori
08-08-04, 05:52 PM Except raining down dragons from your own personal Zhentarim Flying Keep!

Now thats a character concept that works!

08-08-04, 07:06 PM Hmm..how much does a dragon weigh...? If your Zhentil Keep was flying say 100feet in the air...and we happened to "nudge" a dragon off with it's wings tied (so it can't fly)....:angel:

08-10-04, 10:49 AM Ok, try to follow me on this little adventure...

The Zhent's make a very lucrative deal with 3 Black dragon females (one male to service them), where the females will get a portion of the land the Zhent's take during an upcoming war. Its a good deal, and the Females take it, not knowing that thier lives are now forfeit in the name of the Zhentil Keep.
The Zhents have found a pocket dimension where time travels MUCH faster in relation to Toril (10 years PD time to one day Toril time), and have secured the functions of hundreds of reliable contructs, and thier makers, to maintain the disgusting practices they undertake in this pocket dimension (the gate to which is in the Coliseum of one of the Flying Keeps).
Over the course of 1 Toril year, the Zhent's, using bizarre machines and magical constructions, have bred 10,800 Ancient Wyrm Black dragons, all in a febrile vegetative state (use of De-cerberate upon hatching, and complex constructs to maintain food intake, bodily function, and exercise), and ready to be used as bombs.
Through the use of a system of gates and mechanical lifts, each of 4 Flying Keeps has been linked to the Fast Realm, and each has access to 2700 Gargantuan (20'x20' square) Acid Bombs that inflict 8,000d6 damage on impact (just based on weight, not drop heigth), and make a 30' radius Acid burst that does 24d4 (Reflex DC 36).

Now just imagine THAT carnage!
