I would like to suggest this new custom PRC for this server. I really think it could fit the setting and is awesome for all warrior-classes, giving them some nice perk and direction which to go. Basically, this is a concept where you need to impress one of the greatest warriors on Ymph in order to receive his blessings and teachings. I imagine some cool task could be set by Tau after succesful application, and if completed, levels in this good PRC could be taken.
I haven't really thought out what tasks they could be- but like, going to drow casino with a bag of gold and come back alive could be one. I bet the DMs know more what would impress Tau.
I think five-levelled PRC would work in this quite well, like the Knight PRC. Here is the first draft I made about what the scripted bonuses would be like.
Disciple of Tau Masemba
Requirements: 4 BAB, Intimidate 5, Weapon Profiency: Exotic
Level 1: WF: Whip, WS: Whip, Presence of Tau*
Level 2: Improved Critical: Whip, Small Shield Profiency (dont know if this can be done but maybe just allow people only OOCly use small shields if he has not acquired this feat by other class)
Level 3: Breath of Tau** 1/day
Level 4: +6 STR, 1/day cast flame weapon (with frost perk), Gaze of Tau 1/day***
Level 5: STR and CON +4 Breath of Tau 2/day, Favour of the Master****
* Presence of Tau: This unnatural ability allows you to mimic only a portion of Tau's intimidating presence, but it is usually enough! (You get +5 Intimidate bonus for every level of Disciple of Tau Masemba you gain)
** Breath of Tau: The long presence in Tau's vicinity has made some of his dazing breath to fill your lungs. Once per day you can breath it upon your enemies. This ability can be activated twice per day on lvl 5 (Breath weapon: Fear)
***Gaze of Tau: Countless hours, staring the combat dummy has made you much like Tau, an empty shell of destruction. You can now reflect it upon your enemies (1/day Bodak Death Gaze)
****Favour of the Master: You have accomplished many deeds for the great Tau Masemba and thus you are allowed once in a while to ask for a single favour from Tau himself (once per reset you can initiate a special scripted conversation with Tau. Among the options are: Go hang out in local bar with Tau, pick the girls you like, Ask Tau to join any single quest with you, Stare wildlife to death in the wilderness with Tau and collect their hides and meat, selling it for great profit and many, many more)
I don't know, I really think this PRC could fit the server perfectly. My only worry is that earning this PRC would be too hard for any PC to achieve and maybe it could be best performed much like the Bloodmage ritual, having 100 different outcomes of what will happen when you try to perform Tau's task. Also, I would really like to have some DM write more about Tau's history so the Disciples could then learn more about Tau and portray being his Disciples better in the game. All good suggestions how to improve this are welcome, haters hate elsewhere!
Oh, and remember to vote, the more positive comments we get for this I am sure the DM are more willing to make this suggestion happen!
I am all for it... though I admit, while reading this I kept mistaking Tau for Chuck Norris

** Breath of Chuck: The long presence in Chucks' vicinity has made some of his dazing breath to fill your lungs. Once per day you can breath it upon your enemies. This ability can be activated twice per day on lvl 5 (Breath weapon: Fear)

Tau Masemba > Chuck Norris. Don't spoil this with some RL stuff and keep to the topic, please. I want serious suggestions on how to improve this new PRC.
=[
Ridiculous and OP.
And by the way, those who hate and vote no, please explain here why this PRC would not be great for EFU. I think it's a bit unfair that you do not even explain the reasons why you give your dislike to this suggestion.
As a joke post, I will move this to Off Topic.
You're basically suggesting a whip weapon master with insane benefits that would involved alot of DM involvement to work, not to mention some of it just sounds stupid.. "Breath of Tau..."
Please tell me this is a troll.

I think I expressed my desire and intention for this more seriously than previous posters on suggestion forum who were not removed from the suggestion forum to off-topic... here you see EFU tyranny as it's best but lets not fall into despair. Vote yes for Tau and improve this idea, it will happen when 95% of the server agrees. Rebellion is tyranny's greatest enemy.

I even voted I was for it.... Can I change my vote now? You hurt my feelings.

Nothing but nothing is greater than the Chuck.
I think it is a whip weapon master with a spin. Just have Tau train your whip master.
My only suggestion is on 2nd level of Disciple of Chuck Norris you get your own chorus that plays softly in the background... something like:
I say whip it.Whip it good.I say whip it.Whip it good.Crack that whip. Lyrics by Devo
If you want theme songs, I can give you this to inspire you for more good suggestions.

LOL.
YOU WIN!
Voted No, underpowered imho..he is TAU!
only if we get a badass whip like Tau
The only thing that prevents Tau Masemba killing every living being is the fact he will never give up on fighting a foe and those combat dummies are invulnerable.
On a more serious note, I think you should get a perma fear aura to represent the presence of the great Tau, Shevorth had one and he is dead now, obviously not that scary.
Tau > Shevorth.
Chuck Norris should go down to the stygian pit and then we shall see who is better Twelve you heathen.
The combat dummies are not immune.
Pretty sad that when someone tries to make an idea that is creative or out of the box, it's immediately dismissed as tomfoolery or a joke. If it's so inane that you can't take it seriously, how about you holier-than-thou pretentious folks explain why it doesn't work?
I thought that DRD's whole deterioration of the server shit was a bit of a stretch, but now I notice how blind I really was the whole time. It's a disappointment to see people so clung to stagnation and repetition that it's a wonder you actually care what storytelling is about or voted for Obama. Well whatever, it seems like suggesting neat things besides 'move npc' or 'nerf/buff this' is off-topic.
I wish you well in pushing your idea through the sea of negativity, jealousy, and hatred, SanTelmo. While I do not completely agree with your PRC, I understand how it feels to have your idea for a PRC completely shunned and mocked.
As the great Winston Churchill once said "He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it." Maybe one day if you push hard enough people will see the light at the end of the tunnel, where people actually offer you constructive criticism or try to take your idea seriously like every person deserves. Until then...
