A Land Far Away

My understanding is necromancy is unnatural and Monks of the Long Death don't like undeath they just like to study natural death by killing and torturing and asking questions like how does it feel to die.

Yes that is true but I thought he meant for PnP.

Why would you want to just take the Improved Control Shape Feat and you can control it and the powers benefit you? Before the era of lycanthropic PCs munchining their form so as to maximize benfits and before the era of learning how to control shape, lycanthropy was actually something undesirable ....

I am told it can be done in FR setting....is it true? I already know that injesting fresh Belladonna within one hour of being bitten (if you make the poison save) can stave off the affliction. What other ways are there? Why would you want to just take the Improved Control Shape Feat and you can con...

I agree Assassins and Blackguards should get the spells according to the DMG.

I am in the same boat your in Valnir but I do have Faiths and Pantheons.

Monk / Rogue / Assassin would be good so NINJA.

What about a LN Gold Dwarf Monk that just serves the cause of knowledge?

Heh. So unusual that the NPC companion dwarves in both NWN1 OC and NWN2 OC are dwarves, IIRC. There was one in NWN and you can have one in NWN2, but they were not part of a dwarven monastic order. They were just that, dwarven monks. Dwarven monks are unusual, but they can join monastic orders if th...

Hmm, well a dwarf from the great rift would be fun, but I don't think the monk classes is that suitable for a dwarf in the Realms. Maybe talk to a DM on a server where you plan to play him. Not sure if ALFA is the best place to play a dwarf monk because I'm not sure that they even exist. So, best b...

I've been reading through the description of the Monk class and it seems like Dwarf monks probably do not exist: The monk tradition is alien to dwarf and gnome culture... Anyways, I'll post more after I have a better idea of what you are after. It seems to me that a dwarven monk order probably does...
