The quote BTW is Glorion, the best paladin. A little YouTube series called journey quest.

(Pretty sure he's actually a fighter who thinks he's a paladin. He has no mystical powers whatsoever, however, and regularly engages in evil acts. Journey Quest is still an awesome series, and WHENWILLTHEYFINISHSEASONTHREEARG... not that I'm impatient or anything...) :D

and Disney did to Cinderella,

... man, Ashpuddle was kind of a depressing story, wasn't it?

There were actually two different "Cinderella" stories in the Grimms, if I recall, and Ashpuddle was one. I don't remember which one ended with the magic tree-axe, or if I'm mixing that up with a different one altogether, but anyway, the point is, you guys should really read Jim C. Hines' books, as his fairytale princesses are pretty hardcore awesome.

Allerleirauh was another. Hell, anything from that point and click Fables game where you play as Bigby (not the Crushing Hand one) gets back to the Grimmdark roots of the source material.

You know I wasn't aware unicorns were such savages beasts to be terrified of. BTW the character in question is mine I am a pc

There's a reason they still have the "only virgin girls can ride a unicorn" bit.

Its because unicorns would kill a man on sight by stabbing them through the heart with it's horn, while running away from women.

Much like what Twilight did to Vampires, and Disney did to Cinderella, the original tales were gruesome and horrible, and in no way appropriate for today's children. Heck, Little Red Riding Hood was originally a story about being raped (a wolf being standard slang for a rapacious man at the time). Ooh, add that to your lists, werewolves.

Odds are any fantasy creature you can name has origins too horrible to put on the Disney Channel.

Tinkerbell and the fairies? They were the same as will-o-wisps, mischievous fae that would dance about too and fro to enrapture the unwary viewer, all the while leading them into swamps to drown or into forests to never be seen again.

Pretty much anything that wasn't human wanted to kill you.

The Fair Folk (Sidhe/Tuatha de Danann) in original Irish myth were particularly nasty. Many folktales of Irish heroes outwitting them were updated for the Christianized Ireland as having the antagonist simply be "the devil." And it's not a coincidence that both fey and demons are harmed by cold iron.

But again, Disneyfication.

I suggest a buckler, and what's cool is if you want that two handed damage all you have to do is take a -1 penalty, and lose your ac, rather than spending actions dropping the shield.

Is it always a flat -1? I heard it was the check penalty that applies to attack rolls.

Do you think a Chaotic Neutral character would have the ability to go through with this plan?

Selina Kyle or Jack Sparrow, no. Tyler Durden or Sandor Clegane, yes.

Your character could just be so bitter and cynical that she considers everyone a monster regardless of physical form. Including, perhaps most especially, her own self.

Perhaps due to lingering guilt over a past misdeed?

Reach weapon.

Will do nothing to help claws. It's great for a bite, but the reach weapon occupies both hands, which means you can't make claw attacks too even on AoOs.

Wasn't my point. Use (say) a glaive to handle enemies at range, when they step in past its reach drop it and use the claws. Best of both worlds, especially if you already have the bite rage power. It works for Barbazu.
