Interest post for a Rogue (Assassin) Monk (Ki Master). Haven't checked on the updates in a while but the class revisions look much more polished at a glance. Game just needs a better name imo :)

e: I already know & like how the Assassin plays, so let's try something different.

If you're doing discord/live stuff, I'm on holiday with the wife til next Sunday; PbP can start whenever. I'll get the character up this evening regardless.

Sorry 'bout not getting the sheet up/inactivity, kinda took a back seat to vacation shenanigans.

I like the guild idea for party-building, keeps things simple and open-ended. One thing I wanted to ask was for thoughts on setting; are we looking at Tolkien fantasy? FR? Eberron? Are we all elves/humans/dwarves, or are there magitec robots/kreen/dragonborn?

For my 2 cents, I like either the eberronish take on fantasy, or the 4e points-of-light kind of world.

Malachi, Student of the Serene Tempest Style

They say not all who wander are lost...but many are, as Malachi was in his days before the Guild. An angry youth who lived as a vagabond fighting for scraps, he could have easily ended up part of some bandit gang or pirate crew. Instead, Grandmaster Fiona took pity on him, taking Malachi on as a student after he failed horribly at trying to mug her.

Malachi has grown much through the Grandmaster's teachings, and now serves the Guild as a powerful yet level-headed fighter; the calm at the center of the storm of battle.
