Klingon
by Charis

Class: Warrior typically, perhaps Rogue
Tag: KLI

Introduction

Honorable but gruff disposition, the Klingon is at heart a warrior who hates to back down. He is well versed in the skillful art of Bachlaghk fighting.

Rules

No lvl up points to magic until at least two other stats are maxed.

The illegitimate son of a Romulan maid, Sir Gorash is held in total disrespect by the Klingon people. In any game where Laz dies, the Klingon must see that Gorash also dies. Some Klingons refuse to dot until Gorash has been found in the chamber of Diablo, and the two killed simultaneously.

The Klingon does *not* take well to being PK'd, or even worse, MK'd. He is honor bound to challenge the PK. This challenge may be delivered verbally, with the traditional Bone Spirit, or with a Flame Wave. The slayer may decline the challenge (considered disgraceful, and will lose all respect), admit his shamefully sloppy tactics and apologize, or accept the challenge.

The duel is carried out professionally, with honor, without cheesy tactics, and without emotion. If the Klingon loses, he brushes it off with "Perhaps today *is* a good day to die!", and does NOT hold anything against the assailant. If he wins, his anger is also gone, "Today the House of Mogh has been honored!" A res and heal other would be appropriate.

If it was a purposeful MK, the Klingon gains a new blood enemy, and will look to avenge. This is never forgiven unless the assailant grovels on his knees for forgiveness.

The cooper familiar with Klingon tradition would do well to carry a res, and if an accidental PK occurs, res him while saying "The wind has taken that errant arrow/fireball off course, much to my horror! A thousand pardons, noble warrior!"

The Klingon plays well with (or as (multiclass): MM, Gargarrean, Barbarian, Vikings, and Body Builders.

Items

The heavier the better, although amongst early ages, and traditional Klingons, Ring Mail is the truest form of armor.

Backlaghk Fighting
Uses the same motion as a shield bash, this highly distinctive fighting style is a favorite, especially amongst the Swarthy Klingons (it is even *faster* than a sword of haste, for them!). It requires both high strength and dex to truly master. The Tower version of the Backlaghk is reserved for those who have already slain Diablo.

Spells

Spell casting?! No way. He will, however, read scrolls if convenient.
