I'm sure someone around here will know what issue that was in.

Probably derived from "Sparrow", which was the Cold War intelligence term for female agents and contacts used to gather information through seduction. There's a lot of training for that still going on, particularly in Russia, except instead of nuclear and defense secrets from western politicians, it's identity theft and blackmail for organized crime these days. A lot of those mail-order brides are 'sparrows'.

Actually, I'd say that doesn't quite cover the sort of effect we're talking about here. Trying to game in mid-summer with a busty, halter-top wearing pixie at the opposite end of the table was proof of this.
DDstraction (Exxx): Creatures within 30' who can see and could be attracted to you become staggered unless they succeed at a DDC 32 Will save. If you take a move action, targets suffer a -2 penalty on their saves. This penalty increases by an additional -2 if you move at 2x your speed, -4 at 3x, etc. Targets are entitled to a new save each round, but otherwise remain staggered as long as you are in sight. Those who succeed on their save are instead fatigued for 2dd4 rounds. Corsets, chainmail bikinis, and other outfits provide an enhancement bonus to the Save DDC.

Have 1,200 experience points. Very well done!
I guess to meant "fascinated" rather than "fatigued". I would imagine a whole other scenario that would involved becoming "fatigued" that wouldn't involve any dice rolling...

Is Nik eligible for these feats?
Well, Nik's got an 18 Charisma and we've already seen her character portrait... I'd allow it!
Monday's XKCD suddenly seems pertinent to the current... um... rules discussion.

There is something else to keep in mind.
All "Gamer Chicks are the Hawtness!"But, it is the extremely sexy characters that Ms Poussin creates and plays that are the real reason for her "gaming group winning." ;D

Why aren't those "rolaplaying" dice instead? Dice that have "catholic schoolgirl" or "nurse" on them.

The other die would have stuff like "Headmaster" and "Construction worker" on them.
Think of the weird combination. Lends a new sense to the term "strange bedfellows".

That's really nicely done! I like the use of the brown line - it gives it a more ancient feel.
Anyhow, I think the choice would have to be a fighter class - maybe barbarian if you want her to be a more feral fighter. Probably want to optimize the STR and CON, maybe DEX. You'll want to focus on feats that apply to weapons or shield.
Just my quick thoughts.

Not at all. I just repeated the stereotypes.
I couldn't share my inner workings. At least 17 governments have threatened to declare war on me if I did. And I have not enough room for all the PoWs

We have a Gladiator class in 4 Winds Fantasy Gaming's Paths of Power, actually. DEX, CON, and CHA are really the best attributes for the class - STR is always nice, since it's a melee class, but since it doesn't use heavy armor, you're better off with the extra hp and bonuses to armor class. In addition, a lot of the class abilities go off of CHA.

That's easy, she should be a shield fighter. Maybe have him add a few spikes on the shield? (Is more effective in game, and the drawing would reflect the character more).
Basically, it is a two-weapon fighter using a shield as an off-hand weapon. Go with the basic two weapon-fighting feats, and with the shield fighting feats. It can be pretty deadly. Just be careful, some feats do not interact with each other and there is a lot of uncertainty on these boards on the precise interaction between the various two-weapon fighting and shield using mechanics.
Statwise, focus on strength, but try to have a good dex and con, as you'll be the party dammage soaker. And of course your free 18 in Charisma.

AINSLAN: I WISH i culd get away with the 18 CHA but I thinkI ll have 2 spend my points in other stats! giggle
yur advice is GREAT tho ThanX! :-)
Well, keep in mind that in Pathfinder Physical Beauty and Social Ability are not directly related. So while your heroine should have an "above average" charisma score, it need not be stellar. :)
In the Golarion Setting, Taldor appears to be the most Greco-Roman in style. (But many areas in Golarion still have formal Gladiatorial combat, so it need not be as limiting as that.)
