During a severe case of writer's block (for this mod: Halbo NPC), a new NPC idea hit me, so I began work on second NPC mod. When I'm on a dry spell for one, I work on the other. If I'm ambitious enough, I may even integrate both of them into a single package. But I'm getting off topic...
I hate naming characters. For some reason, it's hard for me to find a name that sounds decent and fits. Therefore, I'm dumping this responsibility on everyone else. I will give a little information about my NPC and everyone here will be welcome to put in ONLY TWO NAME SUGGESTIONS EACH. I will let this go on until I feel like ending it. Afterwards, I will select the five I like the most and run a poll to see which name gets selected. The person who made the name that gets chosen will be put into the readme credits.  And so, without further delay, I present <NPC NAME>.  Class: Fighter Alignment: Lawful Neutral Stats: Strength 18/74 (I think) Dexterity 17 Constitution 17 Intelligence 15 Wisdom 10 Charisma 11 Total: 88 Equipment: Custom <NPC NAME> offers his services in return for pay. In the past he has worked to protect merchants along roads from Waterdeep to Athkatla. While not of good alignment, he is a very dependable person, always keeping his word when he gives it. He is generally good-natured around any party members with the exception of thieves, for whom he has little regard. Given his stats and special equipment, he is a very powerful warrior initially (that's why you have to pay him!). He has a special quest that will bring out an oddity of this otherwise normal person. If someone wants more info, just ask and I *may* post it if it's not something that should be shrouded in secrecy. Note that I may slightly (key word being slightly) alter some things as none of them are set in concrete yet. And, yes, I know...the portrait needs some work.  I will add the names here as they are posted: ___NAME__________MEMBER WHO SUGGESTED IT___ Grauldin....................................Moongaze Gerylke (Ge-ril-key)...................Moongaze Viskel.......................................Sir-Kill Talburt......................................Sir-Kill Reyner......................................Bearwere Aldan........................................Bearwere Ibrahim.....................................Toxeus Akhmed....................................Toxeus Tomas......................................blackdevil0742 Richard (the lion-heart? ).......blackdevil0742

A flask of Tethyrian Brandy for Moongaze for being the first participant!
Since you gave two suggestions, I guess I'll up the limit per person to TWO names.  Keep the suggestions coming! -------------------- "Once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back into the same box." - Italian Proverb

Thanks.  *takes flask and tucks it away in inventory*I didn't know how many names I was allowed to suggest, so I didn't post a whole list. If you ever need any help with anything, especially in the writing area, you know where to find me. Right here on BWL. -------------------- -Transition into darkness-

Hmm, everyone is just going to *give* first prize to Moongaze? Perhaps I should have offered cash prizes!
