Using athas.org 3.5e rules, her class is rogue. http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcnxr79f_4cf2jzq She was a former drug lord in Raam, but since the collapse of the government and of her merchant house there, she has been on the move to avoid being killed by rival merchant houses. She works indepedently now, and has a handful of mul mercenaries or slaves (can't decide which one) who guard her. What are the best Dark Sun setting sources for info on drugs in Athas. Various plants or chemicals that have effects, stimulatory, psionic, recreational, steroid, etc. If not I'll make some up, but it would be fun to use actual dark sun drugs and plants. What special 3.5e feats should I consider for this kind of character idea. Is there a book that has good information on making a drug trafficker type character? Like a D&D Rogue handbook or something like that? Maybe even prestige class that matches this description, for a sort of crime lord? Thanks!!! Sonja in Toronto

The quotes you have really don't match up with the characters intelligence (12) and charisma (16).... not that's it's really any of my business, but If I were running the game I would require some serious explaination as to why people find Sto charming and why she acts so much dumber then she really is.
#6 Sonja Aug 02, 2007 15:49:17	She acts dumb in order to take advantage of people. They don't suspect her of being manipulative, because she's the cute dumb half-giant.
#7 korvar Aug 02, 2007 17:10:41	I'm finding the idea of a "cute" half-giant hard to get my brain around...
#8 cnahumck Aug 02, 2007 19:28:25	"Cute" as in "Big, Dumb, and Non-Threatening"
#9 Sysane Aug 02, 2007 19:50:57	Think Sloth from the Goonies.
#10 ruhl-than_sage Aug 03, 2007 19:53:13	Ok, I get it.
#11 jon_oracle_of_athas Aug 04, 2007 2:55:38	Sloth wasn´t cute. Agreed on the definition though. :P
#12 skullkrusher Aug 04, 2007 6:02:48	i recommend you use the slaves not muls. hard to tame... even when tamed
