Ok I read through it once after seeing message against the character. My
first thought was "no". Then decided that to to give it a fair chance
since I did gloss over some parts, I would read the character and study
everything a little bit deeper. My reaction the second time was "NO" (yes
there is an increase in the dissapproval).

Now please don't take this the wrong way - like many other characters
introduced that have been shot down, yours does have a lot of merit.
Unfortuanately he is character from a long running game, usually such
character have had so much happen to them that they really don't fit in the
"accepted" universe.

Weird things like this are slighly more acceptable in villians just because
they are the antagonist, but they just don't cut it as major characters.
Of course, most of what you have down for Nightblade really wouldn't be
acceptable even in a villian.


One idea that you could consider it to bring him to the list in a state
before all the meta-planar things happened to him. This would probably be
a bit more acceptable. Though it would be nice to give us a general idea
of his approximate grade (no numbers just a general - "well there's one or
two published NPC's with a grade higher than him" (12 is the highest I have
seen) - that is way pushing it. Having him be in a high range of 7-10 is
still probably really pushing it.


My basic response is - NO
With an interjection of - changing thing around may make him more
acceptable.
