Default T\'ien Chi possibilities

Jomon - blind swordsman -

T'ien Chi - Fang Gang - One armed swordsman - starting affliction - lost one arm (way to make it perm, a la no chalice?). 4 misc slots, flying, holy 2

Premise: After his servant father is killed protecting their master, Fang Gang is raised by the master as a son and trained in swordsmanship. When the master's daughter chops of his right arm in a thoughtless fit of anger, Fang retreats to recover and learn a new one-armed style of swordplay. He then returns to rescue his master in his greatest hour of need.

master = god? daughter = priestess?

T'ien Chi - 4 mages
Lo Pan - mandarin, undead, immortal, cursed, not flying, old age, H2 A2 E2 F2 B1
Thunder - straw hat, immortal, flying, H2, A3 E3, standard slots
Lightning - straw hat, immortal, flying, H2, A3 F3, standard slots
Rain - straw hat, flying, immortal, H2, A3 W3, standard slots
a la BTiLC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Tro...n_Little_China

Centuries ago, Lo Pan, a great warrior, was defeated in battle by the First Sovereign Emperor, Qin Shi Huang. The Emperor placed upon Lo Pan the curse of No Flesh. Although Lo Pan can be temporarily granted a decrepit body by supplication to the gods, in order to permanently break the curse and regain his human form he must marry a woman with green eyes, who must also be a daughter of a holy man (a fact not explicitly explored in the movie). Simply marrying her will please the God of the East; but to satisfy the Emperor, he must sacrifice her. Lo Pan is served by a ruthless street gang, the Wing Kong, and the Three Storms – three mystical henchmen named Thunder, Lightning and Rain.

Actually...in the movie, Lo Pan inquires about her father, stating "your father, he must have been a holy man!" This is not to say that her father being a holy man was a *requirement*, only that Lo Pan was wondering about her parentage-which would be a typical attitude of someone of royal caste in his time.

Exact same thing for me and the black phoenix images I posted earlier.

Any volunteers to make a sprite of a ice imp? Basically the same as the fire imp but one that looks like an imp with 100 percent cr?

My tentative Epic Hero for a top secret(lol) cold race with blood magic is going to have a dominion summon of cold imps.

There may also be another treat involving them that he gets as an ability.

jutetrea: If you don't want the arm to ever be healed, simply selecting to only have one arm slot would be sufficient, I should think.

This of course immediately got me to thinking of Tyr. Hmm, the possibilities.

I am glad to hear some thoughts on some of the races.

I have zero thoughts on Tien Chi or shin. zero ideas. So the
stuff on Tien Chi is good.

I was intending to add an "Ascended Master" as a national spell for T'ien Ch'i - it would make sense if these guys also appeared as multiheroes.

The spell is a national version of Mummification (same effect #) - except that it calls back a dead official from his post in the celestiral officialdom to serve at the side of the awakening God. Costs a pile of astral pearls (will finish balancing it when the next patch comes out.)

He's size 3, he has approximately the stat-line of a celestial servant but obviously no rake. He's Sacred, and he's further +1 to all magic paths (as a multihero, I suppose he'd have the same magic as a MA Celestial Master, before the +1). Not sure if he'd be balanced as a multihero at that rate - getting a W4 caster a LA T'ien Ch'i could be pretty crazy.
