[Tacitus]

this is a prestige class character for D&D that i found, trying it out in our little world with a bit of a Tacitus Twist...

Name: May Sheckeb
Race: Angel
Class: Holy Avenger

Weapons:
The Holy Avenger (extremely powerful Holy longsword)
Foolsmiter: a huge sledgehammer which van draw its power from any of energy source (fire, sonic, ice, water, electricity, holy, unholy)
Angelic Splice: see akule's charatcer: Hero, this sword basically functions like Dak`kon's blade from Planescape Torment (according to Akule) in times of dire need (at Akule's discretion) the soul of Hero bursts forth from Splice to lend his aid.
Animus Caritas: A gift from Cloud (which was a gift from the Smith). It can take on any element you wish, but May channels the burning fire of her love for Trias into it, along with her holy energies, creating a bright blue flame.

Equipment:
A small cross shaped Gem with a design carved upon it, known as the Gem of the Soul's Endless Love. Among many thing, it offers resistance against poisons, on top of her already superb resistance. Protects against fear. Grants immunity against Piercing attacks (that whole thing with piercing the heart...) and all the knowledge that Trias once had.

Abilities:
Undead Turning: can strike fear in undead, also can destroy (one hit KO), except its a bit harder

Detect Undead: uh, the can detect Undead within a mile to their exact location

Divine Soul: If she dies, she cannot be raised through necromancy, only a pure soul with good intentions can bring her back, and only with her permission

Holy Weapon: grants Holy energies to her weapon, hits better and harder (stacks with bonuses already on weapon) (unlimited)

Holy Touch: Any touch by the Avenger (or if the undead strikes the avenger) causes light damage as if Holy Water were thrown on the undead. Also, the touch of the avenger can be used as a laying on of hands to heal damage on allies. This is a supernatural ability. (unlimited or 5/day)

Holy Countenance: The Avenger may spend one round praying to activate this ability which only works against undead. The Holy Avenger gets a bonus against all undead and necromatic spells. Lesser undead are automatically turned if they reach within 10 feet. Greater undead are not affected but become much slower and weaker. If they come into contact with the Avenger, they must make the same save or suffer heavy damage. (3/day)

Holy Purity: Any special attacks made by evil or undead creatures, such as Level Drain or Mind Control automatically fail, with the combined power of her Gem she now has the ability to stop all poisons in any target and posions have no or little effect on her. (magic or otherwise)

Angelic touch: Has a wide range of effects
Fear the Reaper: Gives large bonuses against undead
All divine spells

Ultimate: The Duty of the Soul: May calls upon both the dtrength of her god, and the love of Trias. The area grows dark and then explodes in red, white, and blue lights. All who carry ill thoughts against May have their souls pierced with a holy flame, and then the spark of life is snuffed out. Against those who have no soul or are unaware of May (and she chooses so) they are hewn straight through and burst into flames.

Appearance: Tall slender female with (odd for a heavenly being) dark brown hair. Her hair is lined with small diamonds, as are her wings. Usually wears a pure white dress that comes down to about her knees, usually has her hair in a ponytail. She has a small burn on the left side of her face in the shape of a tear running down from the corner of her eye, as if forever in mourning.

History: During the times before the War, she trained in the art of fighting through many different sources, mainly under the close watch of the Guardians. She was shunned by her trainers after disgracing their order with a bastard son of one of the higher ranking Guardians, though she refused to reveal his name. For many years she yearned to find a place in existance where she could provide for her son, but finding no feasable option, she left him in the hands of an odd old man somewhere in the Material Plane for safe keeping. Her only goals in life are to erradicate evil and the undead scourge, and to track down the father of her son, through any means possible. At the Battle of the Angel's Destiny she used her ultimate ability for the first time, but also she recieved a small Gem, though she knew not how or why. In the aftermath of using Divine Intervention, a single tear that was upon her cheek burned itself itno her skin, a mark of her unknown mourning for all time. Shortly after the Battle of the Angel's Destiny, Hero gave unto May not only his sword, Angelic Splice, but his soul within the sword. This also signifies that she is now a ruler of sorts, and she has a group of 4 legionairs to aid her in battle, which she leave on the side lines most of the time. (not entirely clear on this part, need to talk to akule a bit more)


i would like comments on this particular character, but don't post them here, cause i'll split 'em if you do (i should split a few things from this thread...), just PM them to me, or try to catch me on AIM (TheCorpseyRemix or Corpseminion if you didn't know...)
