Bard Challenge 8/05/08 - The Skylord

Posted: Tue Aug 05, 2008 9:19 am

Well, you all know what time is. Time for another Bard Challenge. This hero comes from the Book of Exalted Deeds. Enjoy!


An Elf crusader, the Skylord uses his kinship with creature os the sky and the power of the winds to fight evil. His ties with the elven community are usually loose at best, since he sees much more urgency in the day-to-day events of the world. This point of view is ofen lost on the elven lord who would prefer to insulate themselves from the affairs of the short-lived races.
Soaring above the world of men, the Skylord observes all. From such a vantage point the Skylord learns to appreciate the beauty of the world below, ply the winds, and use the rage of storms to his advantage. He can quickly dissapear by clocking himself in clouds to avoid his foes. During a battle, his presence inspires confidence in all airborne allies who fight at his side.
The Skylord often acts as an aerial scout, watching the movements of evil armies and studying areas not easily reached by land. He is also a courier, conveying messages across great distances much faster than would otherwise be possible without the use of magic. The Skylord truely shines when evil bears its ugly head in the sky.

@Bloodcraft: Thx. It was a b**** to find, but so awesome.

S'all good. The last one didn't get the biggest turn out. I'm hoping the Skylord will do better.

@DragonLord1: Don't bother huntin' for a hardback copy. 4th Edition coming out, it'll be a bit hard to find. Just go with a torrent.



Lookin' forward to all your hero ideas, guys.

Not bad, but you're forgetting something. He's a SKYLORD... Only one of your skills even fits the theme. Also, Land dragon? Please change it up a bit. Alright?
