Reflexes 26?! :shock: :D

I like pirates!

[foxandwarlock]

EDIT: Changed Reflexes from 26 to 4 since Kublai is such a "Rules Lawyer" :evil:

Thank you so much for that, I just about fell out of my chair. Stupid rules lawyers, they never let you bump your Reflexes up by 22...

Hey FoxandWarlock,

That's a good, solid character! The Missing Eye trait plays murder with your pistol skill though!

Are you retiring this character? Unless Smerf decides to slice you up, he's not dead, so you could keep playing him.

[foxandwarlock]

I know. Since when can't I make up whatever Reflexes I want? Its a game of imagination right?

But then Kublai has to be all like, "You can't just use whatever number you want. You have to follow the ruuuuules."

Ruly, rule, rules lawyer Kublai.

[foxandwarlock]

I thought defeated was defeated in the Arena?

Besides, I figured Thomas will never let me live after I called him a tart. :twisted:

Heh! Nah. As long as you ain't dead, you can bring him back for more.

[LordSmerf]

I believe the Elven Lady might be willing to let you try again, you filthy animal.

Pete, are you going to take this?! I say you bring Kublai into the ring for a limited engagement and show them how you deal with people who question you! :twisted:

Kublai = Master Scripter

[Thor Olavsrud]

Kublai = Master Scripter

You don't even want to know what Kublai can do with glass shuriken. Kublai is also the originator of Tae Poong Do, and a master of it.

[Kublai]

Oh, how you tempt me so! But still none of you are ready for what I can do to your precious egos.
