Regret, and a Second Chance
As I lay in agony, my life slowly ebbing away from the poison that I had ingested upon being captured, my life flashed before my eyes in slow motion in exquisite detail. All of the small choices made in my life that led me to this end magnified in one eternal moment. I felt a sense of pride at my consumate professionalism, a burning loneliness, and a piercing regret at what could have been. A sudden clarity came to me then, as all the paths of my life laid before me. My lack of familial attachments and the emotions associated with as well as my natural born talents and abilities lent themselves to being an assassin. So I put all of my being into taking the opportunity before me to learn and e my life laid before me. My lack of familial attachments and the emotions associated with as well as my natural born talents and abilities lent themselves to being an assassin. I took advantage of that opportunity with all that I was and eventually became the best at my craft. I took countless lives and ended limitless potentials through my long career, not knowing the toll that this would have upon my soul. Only at the end of my life, fearful of death and what that entails, did I truly feel the weight of that burden. Surprisingly an outpouring of tears rolled down my cheeks as my pulse weakened and my breathing became labored. This inexorable sadness was the deepest emotion I had ever felt, and it was crushing. A single ray of light shone on me then, its warmth bringing me comfort while at the same time my instincts shying away from it. A rush of feathers descended upon me and as I prepared to depart the mortal coil I heard a voice from far away. The voice spoke clearly "You who have committed such evil acts with no malice in your heart, why do you cry?" Lacking the strength to respond the voice continued as if already knowing the answer, "I see, I see.... The illumination of your soul and the crystallization of wisdom came too late to save you." My eyes closed slowly and my heart beat one final time. The light grew brighter over me and the voice mused "I am not without compassion, I will allow you a chance at redemption, though it will not be as you expect." A soft chuckle and a rush of feathers was not heard as I passed away and my soul left its physical vessel for parts unknown...


Description:

A storm of feathers and the whisper of wind greet you as you step near this unique creature. Tall and slender, slim and lithe, her most prominent feature is a pair of pure white wings on her back large enough to engulf her entire frame. Eyes the color of the sky peer out at the world curiously from within a distinctly beautiful face. Pale alabaster skin peeks out here and there from beneath form fitting clothing designed to allow freedom of movement. Around her waist is a wide black sash tied into a bow at her back which looks fashionable. Her gaze does not linger in any one place for too long, her cautious nature evident. On her exposed shoulders she bears a set of tattoos; on her left a multicolored butterfly trailing a rainbow; on the right an upturned dagger wreathed in wings below a golden halo.

      Not good enough to be successful with Shadow yet. This was my first try in a loooong time. Also, HP rolls were worst ever. 600 hp at 44

      600 hp at 44? For a shadow, thats actually not that bad. You had six levels to get, so you have two trains and 18 practices incoming, I'm sure you can convert one group of 10 into a train. So, even if you got 9 hp levels the whole rest of the six levels, you would have still hit 684. Maybe you even had some practices and trains laying around, which you'd decided to delete without using. Maybe put those into hp. That looks like a nice amount of hp to me.

      My first level 50 was an avian ninja and it had 660 max hp. I thought I had gotten bad rolls but he was able to beat the decked Warmaster of warlords at the time in a duel, and he was on duergar warrior hp pool. Remember, with stealth, you get to pick the time and place of battle. It should be done to secure a big head-start. A decent assassination attempt demolishes someone down a load of hp right away. You need to use that "element of surprise".

      I've one-prac trained an avian ninja to pump it over 700 hp per level once and never bothered to try again since. It did not feel any stronger. that was the power of cheese guy incase anyone was wondering. Avian shadows have some levels they can niche PK very effectively at, so I sat in those ranges and trained. I was completely left alone and allowed to 1 prac.

  2. Disappointing, would have been better to try at 50 for at least a little while. You did not give yourself a chance to see the full potential of class.

    1. I thought you were doing quite well. Sure, the stream showed one PK, but there were still plenty of opportunities to grow and learn from your mistakes.
