Where did Nassard go?

Valygar has a fair amount of 'rangering' background in the game: he has a cabin in the iwlderness and it is there where he is hiding (as opposite to staying in the city). He is definetly well-aquainted with the local rangering populuce, since they protect him as one of their own. Stalker kit also gives a leeway there, saying that rangers of that kit are well accustomed in the cities. In a conversation with Mazzy Valygar speaks rather wistfully about stealth skills. His scouting background was already previously mentioned. If he wants to travel anywhere, it is Neverwinter as opposiute to Waterdeep as he mentions to Mazzy (ie wilder region vs civilized region). He speaks of his father as of a man with a merry laughter and love of the wilderness - and who but a ranger or druid would put this into a convo about his dear dead father? He is also quite terrified by his parents turning undead - a non-direct pointer on the 'nature' connection.

 

But what background there is to make him a Kensai? As far as we know he had never traveled East or anywhere beside Amn for that matter.  Even his katana is not *his* per se - it is a hereditary blade that could have been aquired as a curio by one of his mage-anscestors who played around with enchanting it. His hatred of magic gives a reasonable grounds to make him into a Wizard Slayer imo, but a master of the sword that spends his whole life perfecting his swordplay? He seems to be too guarded of a character for that. Plus he comes from a traditional noble family; if he would have gotten any training at all in sword play in his youth it would have been traditional style, ie heavy armor; and his military training would be all about sneaking around, cutting thorats quietly if he has to, rather than about flashy one on one mortal combats.

 

Uhm, sorry about the rant. I am sort of attached to Valygar and all things valygarish.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

so its impssoble to give elves (or another specialist mage restricted race) access to all mage kits at character gen?

1) will you be able to consider the stronghold after the final soa battle or in tob?

2) if so will there be new quests?

While the ideas sound great, i have to ask if they have anything to do w/ the rest of the mod, b/c the scale is so big as is, it seems like a lot to also change existing quests w/ all the new stuff.

4) an unusual Druid.  This could be a grey (underground) druid, a shadow druid (Faldorn!!! ), a lost druid (one bent on revenge for some wrong), a druid outlaw, etc.

any chance of a blood druid?
