I think the concern is things we would want classified, he is not mind-blanked.
Edit:
Nvm.
No, nothing new there besides the precise paths you guys wanted to retain and which would be somewhat cumbersome to describe in dialog.

Aren't these considered background actions? Or would this guarantee a sped up process @DragonParadox

This would greatly speed up the process, yes.

[X] Ask him to write down all his knowledge from his old life, about the Rakshasa, the Empire of the Dawn, and the one ruling it.
So as I was thinking about what the drow would do in such a situation I came up with an idea that is a little odd.
How would you guys feel about someone paying off another competitor for a place in the melee, just to replace them outright? I ask because blood sport is right up the drow's alley, they have quite a lot of loose wealth in the form of magic items so they might try to insert themselves in the melee, gaining wealth and recognition in the process if they win.
If you guys OK this I would just have them replace a couple of those three no-name characters which exist to even out the numbers.
If Viserys considers that cheating they will just try to join a team fight.

I think they should be able to take volunteers spots. They were unable to attend from the beginning and if the present competitors allow, why not.

I wouldn't mind paying off competitors.
What do they want to get payed off? A couple hundred IM? Maybe an enchanted sword forged by our magesmiths?
The drow would do that themselves, no need for you guys to pay. I just want to know if the thread in general is fine with the idea as a matter of fairness.
I'm alright with it because I know the Drow are not going to disappoint, they'll certainly be better than whoever they replace after all.
Level 9, so they are strong but not impossibly so.

It's plenty fine. The people being payed off will presumably want to be payed off, and the Drow aren't strong enough to bulldoze everyone.
They're both level 9.

@DragonParadox So what is the Shadow Guide? Creature type, HD or level, stats, etc. Can we build him?

I'm supremely against this. It reeks of nepotism and cheating to the high heavens and is definitely something that nobody will like to see in a tourney.
What would you say if one team bought off another team in the Football World Cup to go straight for the quarter-finals?
They can join the team events.

Who would be their other two team members, then? The Furies?

Maybe Mereth and Mercy? That would be a pretty nice team.
A unique rakshasa with the Shadow Lord template and the ability to take a raktavarna's snake form (though not the weapon form). HD wise he is not very strong, as most of the power Yss invested went into giving him his shadow powers. He has 7 HD so casts as a 4th level sorcerer.

Could he earn levels in Sorcerer to add on to that?
Point, but I felt I had to ask. They are drow, using underhanded methods to get ahead is second nature.

DP, can we stat those Drow? And our new templated rakshasa? So he's a 4HD basic rakshasa with the Shadow Lord template and an extra form he can take, right?
And @Azel: considering FIFA's level of corruption, your example isn't great...
I am also opposed to this. We want to build a meritocracy, and allowing people to buy their way to success in our biggest PR event yet sends a terrible message!

Yes, of course. it's only special cases like the arcanums with alternative advancement mechanics that can't level though experience.
Sure, you guys always come up with fun builds.
