What kind of Powers do you think a Darkfriend might
posses ? We know about Padan Fain, who could find a specific person. We have seen Milli Skane use a dagger that scorched wood. And off course there is the Grey Men. So what other advantages would the Dark One grant his most "trusted" servants ? Special Artifacts (like Thakandar forged blades) ? Special Abilities (probaply not throwing Fireballs, but something more subtle ) ? Something else ? Any ideas ? Talan PS: I seem to remember a Darkfriend in the books thinking about powers of the Dark One, but i can't find it again. |

At least 99% of all Darkfriends are just bad guys
with nothing special save they serve the Shadow for any number of reasons.
I can only think of two people off hand who were personally twisted by the
Shadow to be other than what they are: Padan Fain and Slayer. Fain was twisted to be the Dark Ones Hound, to find the Dragon Reborn, Slayer is an amalgam of Lord Luc and Isam, forged into one person and given abilities akin to that of a Dreamwalker, making him the Shadow's number one Assassin. Possibly there might be more weapons such as Mili's dagger, twisted by the Shadow somehow. I don't think Darkfriends would walk around with Thrakandar forged blades though they don't last as long as a normal weapon and I think just holding one would likely have bad side effects even for a follower of the Shadow. -------------------- What is dead can never

It seems there's a few darkfriends with "artifacts"
of a sort, like Mili's blade and I believe Gelb had a brooch or
something...I might be misremembering, there. I'm surprised more folks haven't come up with Darkfriend oriented Wondrous Items... -------------------- Evan "Skwid" Langlinais The Humblest Mollusk on the Net http://www.thehumblest.net/ Ask me for information about the Texas Darkfriends! |

Yes, MOST Darkfriends are just normal people (and the
Prestige Class is appropriate for them), but I thought it could be fun to
create some Supernatural Powers for the few special ones. You cold say that Padan Fain is Rand´s Nemesis and Slayer might be Perrin's. At least these Characters seems to be somehow connected - so I would rather invent a new Darkfriend to terrify my own Players. There has been created a lot of Old Blood feats - perhaps a few Darkfriends could have similar Powers, making them more effective against the Light ? What about some of the many D20 books, aren't there some cool powers there ? Talan |
