The Ronin

I tried to make all the variables listed in the data block. If any one wants the word doc pm me your email. I'm going to modify an insanity by giving it a qualifier but it is more or less the same.

Awesome write up! Serious badass npc!

[9voltkilowatt]

I think the Terminator© just pooped his metal breeches and thanked the gods that he's part of another license altogether!

[NMI]

Awesome right up. The .doc file you sent me makes it easier to understand but still confusing.
That is the one thing I noticed over the past couple of days, I as I detail the characters of my players, all the damn variables / conditions to consider when noting combat bonuses...
*Is he in living / host armor
*does he have host armor combat skill
*does this feature work all the time, duration, certain conditions, etc...
but I am getting it, slowly but surely.

[NMI]

Huh!
The kind of guy you buy a drink for (or Several) before you engage in combat hoping that he has a weak constitution.

Excellent work!

And it will fail in this case.
Did you see his P.E.?
P.E.: 32
M.E.: 21

Original post modified per Galactus Kid's request.

By the way, the SDC and P.B. in parenthesis are the original values. He is being slowly devoured by his host armor.

I have to roll up a number of high level N.P.C.s for my game and I was wondering if you all would like me to post them here like I did with The Ronin. I wouldn't start a new thread for each, but would probably have a thread that I would use, or a sticky if NMI wanted. What do you all think?

It's all good for me.

FYI The Ronin is making his first appearance in my weekly game tonight. He's going to be an informative NPC and then he'll run off again.
