Hi,
I have been reading my old Harlequins White Dwarf #105 magazine, and I kept marveling over the beautiful and imagination provoking images in it. Then I kept noticing a theme, which is reflected in their mechanics: The beautiful sword in one hand and a graceful gun/shurriken pistol in the other.
This I believe is a common theme in many settings/media/etc, and I am surprised I have never seen (or noticed) it being officially used as a build in D&D. Has it? If not, how would you build it?
I believe I may have even found a perfect equivalent to Cegorach: The Laughing God (god of the harlequins in 40K) in Erevan Ilesere (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erevan_Ilesere#Erevan_Ilesere). I even want to try rebuilding the Harlequins and their fluff for my D&D cosmology with Erevan being the "Great Fool" (aka another title for the Laughing God). Although his "battle adepts/clerics" (or just his holy knight-equivalent soldiers) wielding crossbows might be odd for an Elf god's holy divine casters and/or knight-equivalents...
Anyway, can you folks please help me out with some ideas? It would be much appreciated!
ps. Any ideas on how to make the Harlequins in my cosmology as bad-ass and amazing in combat (and fluff!!!) as the ones in 40K would also be appreciated!
Many Pikas in advance!
