Is there anyway to stat this vicious, cold hearted, bast*rd, made of win hero, using 3.5 rules?
Link for those who don't know but wish to learn :smallbiggrin:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malus_Darkblade
This dude is one of the most solid and round anti-heroes I ve ever read (barring Classic Literature) and I am gonna use him in my warhammeresque disciples Campaign in the near future...
There so many aspects of him you need to cramp in a single character...
from wiki:
Even after acquiring the Warpsword of Khaine, Malus changes weapons and equipment regularly. He is talented with a variety of weapons, particularly swords and axes, and shows skill at fighting with two weapons, even dissimilar ones. He has shown some proficiency at archery, but Malus rarely carries a bow or crossbow. His favorite tactic is to charge an opponent mounted on the Cold One, Spite, and fighting from the saddle.
He is a rather talented general, and is awarded command of a banner of Cold One Knights during the third book, and overall command of an army as well, managing to save it from a disastrous rout while simultaneously slaying the enemy general. He is also granted brief control of the Witch King's northerm forces by virtue of Malekith's writ. A large portion of this army is destroyed in battle with the Chaos Hordes, and even more so during the siege afterwards. To be fair, there is no way Malus could have come out of that battle with any degree of victory, considering the vast difference in numbers.
Malus has a good grasp on Dark Elf psychology, able to inspire troops to battle with brief speeches.
Malus has some innate talent for sorcery, though he dislikes it and has no formal training as a wizard. He has managed to figure out several magical puzzles, as well as the uses of the artifacts he is sent to find for the daemon Tz'arkan. Malus also uses the demonic abilities of the deamon Tz'arkan although only when was absolutely necessary.
Is this doable at an ECL around 17-20?
Thanks :smallcool:
