Drow Shadow Priestess: Revisited and Revised

[Drow4d20]

Drow Shadow Priestess

Description:
You see a drow female dressed in chain armor. She wears a hood covering most of her head and a mask covering most of her face.

You may notice a small red pendant with a black spider upon it, holding her cloak together.

She may seem a bit short tempered or stuck up if she choses to interact with you. If she does speak to you, you may also notice she is fairly young for a drow. About 90 years of age.

Backstory:

Veldrin was raised in a Lolthite temple until she was about 30. Her mother was a deceitful Lolthite priestess and her father an illusive Vhaeraunite spy.

Veldrin desired to leave the temple to locate her father whom she knew so little about. Her mother, knowing if the temple officials learned the truth about Veldrin's father, chose to keep her daughter in the dark in fear that she and Veldrin would be killed.

After years of her mother's lies and avoiding the topic of Veldrin's father, Veldrin made a chaotic decision. She murdered her mother with a Lolthite ritual dagger, snuck out of the temple, and left the city she knew as home. She took her mother's cloak and kept the dagger as a reminder of the sacrifices she made for her personal quest to learn the truth.

She traveled the world in search of clues leading to her father. After about 20 years of searching, she was finally ambushed by a Vhaeraunite scouting party close to one of their hideouts. She told them of her quest to locate her father whom was somewhat renown in that particular Vhaeraunite society. They brought her to him...

It took little time for her to adjust to her new found faith in Vhaeraun, as she was already not too fond of her childhood in a Lolthite temple. The experienes of the time spent at the temple of Lolth were so traumatic that they define her lust for murdering Lolthite's.

Her father was a devout Vhaeraunite and taught her the ways of his chosen deity and their society. He was proud to learn of his daughter's ruthless killing of her own mother and the ability to escape a Lolthite temple unharmed at such a young age. It seemed the spore did not fall too far from the mushroom.

She continued her training as a priestess, but now in service of The Masked Lord. As she got older she found a personal fascination with the Shadow Plane and Necromancy. Her father was an assassin with great skill as a shadowdancer, and her mother a high priestess skilled in Necromancy.

She was born of a different name long since left behind. Her father gave her the new name Veldrin Del Elghinn, in which she was quite fond of. Her father died when Veldrin turned 66.

Now as a devout priestess in service of Vhaeraun, she wishes to learn more of the Shadow Plane and how to use it to her advantage. She is ruthless, vile, and evil to the core. She will stop at nothing to achieve her goals. She murdered her own mother who was a Lolthite priestess and has no problem killing anyone else that stands in her way...

The above was edited due to missing a bonus feat for fighter and needing take epic weapon specialization at 4th level fighter and 30th character level. All good and ready to roll... After reset... Again... Lol...

You don't have rapid reload?

http://nwn.wikia.com/wiki/Rapid_reload

Prerequisite: base attack bonus +2

Specifics: The character is able to reload so quickly that she gets the same number of attacks with any crossbow as she would if she was using a normal bow.

I'd suggest ditching Called Shot for it.

Drow get rapid reload for free.

[Edit]

>Fighter:
30 Feat: (Weapon Specialization: Light Crossbow) Bonus Feat: (E. Weapon Specialization: Light Crossbow)

and yeah drow get that for free. I figure more damage > +2 base AV works more for a ranged sneak...

Thoughts?
