A montage of deliberate, tactile movements: Bare feet pressing into a cold, black marble floor.
The subject walks toward a massive oak door. As they reach for the handle, they pause, take one slow sip of the black coffee, and set the cup down on a pedestal. Visual: They step out into a hallway of white light, leaving the shadows of the "House" behind. Closing Text: HOUSE OF SINN Order in the Chaos. Video Title: House Of Sinn - The morning ritual
The pouring of thick, obsidian coffee into a bone-china cup. The steam curls like smoke.
A hand sliding through a rack of structured black tailoring. The sound of a zipper is sharp, like a blade. Should we focus more on the aspect of
The screen is black. We hear the sharp, rhythmic tick-tock of a grandfather clock. Visual: A macro shot of a silk sleep mask being pulled away from pale eyes. Sunlight doesn’t stream in; it crawls across charcoal-colored velvet curtains. Sound: The distant, muffled chime of a bell.
The subject stands before a floor-to-ceiling mirror. Visual: They apply a dark lip or adjust a stiff collar. The lighting is high-contrast (Chiaroscuro), highlighting the "House of Sinn" aesthetic—where elegance meets a hint of the forbidden. Action: They pick up a heavy signet ring from a velvet tray and slide it on. The ritual is complete. The "character" is built for the day. Visual: They step out into a hallway of
A silver kettle whistling—a low, haunting note rather than a shriek.
Looks like a cool build. Personally I hadn’t heard about Shaman King so I learned something knew. What I’m exited to see is Robin Hood using toxophilite or hooded champion ranger archetypes or some adventure time stuff.
If you look through the Iconic Design archives, I’ve done Princess Bubblegum and Ice King so far.
Added to my Iconic Design candidates list!
I’d really like to see build for the shieldmarshal PrC (Paths of Prestige). I assume a mix of ranger and gunslinger levels, but that might be a trap I’m not seeing.
Noted!
I can’t take, Weapon Focus: katana (1st), no BAB! or weapon proficiency! ???
You’re right that you can’t take it at 1st level (and the guide has been updated accordingly), but the weapon proficiency thing isn’t a problem. You can pick a feat whose prerequisites you meet only sometimes, for example, a barbarian with Strength 11 can take Power Attack even though she doesn’t qualify for it unless she’s raging. Similarly, you can pick Weapon Focus (katana) even though you only qualify for it when you’ve manifested your ancestral weapon as a katana.
If that ruling bothers you, you could also take the Heirloom Weapon trait and pick the katana. It’ll make you proficient with the katana as a two-handed weapon (since its martial), but not as a one-handed weapon (as that’s exotic). Alternatively, you could build Yoh as a dwarf or a kitsune, as those races have a 1/4 oracle favored class bonus that grants them proficiency with one weapon of their choice. Pick any weapon you want when you first take Weapon Focus at Level 3, then retrain the feat to the katana at Level 4 after you gain the bonus. (Of course, if you went dwarf or human, you’d lose one of the Extra Revelation abilities. I’d pick voice of the grave myself.)
I looked at doing this as a Kitsune, or Tengu, or Half-Elf. I think a Kitsune would work, I assume you would agree, I just need to stat it out.
I’m not familiar with that ruling? Nor would Heirloom Weapon work, for me, without that ruling.
