So one of the Forgotten Realms groups or factions which has intrigued me for years is the Scarlet Mummers. They are to the rest of the Church of Lliira what the Companions of the Noble Heart are to the Church of Ilmater: They kick ass (and willfully sully themselves through the kicking of ass) so that their peace-loving brethren don't have to kick ass.
What I know about the Scarlet Mummers:
1) They often receive their orders directly from Lliira (who, despite being a minor goddess, apparently has time to monitor every last Mummer in existence and to personally weed out both fallen Mummers or impostors pretending to be Mummers).
2) They passionately Kung Fu Loviatans to death and go after whatever other enemies oppose Lliira and her Church as well.
3) They place great emphasis on agility, incorporating such nimbleness into both their entertaining performances and their martial prowess.
4) They earned their name from their first appearance: After a Loviatan assassinated Lliira's Revelmistress in Selgaunt (an assassination which I imagine was neither quick, painless nor pretty), a troupe of performing scarlet-clad mummers appeared outside Loviatar's temple in Selgaunt and put on a big performance. When the Loviatans grabbed their whips and hurried outside to chase the mummers off, the mummers converged on them and whooped their asses.
5) Their weapons of choice are bladed boots. I don't see anything which says whether or not Scarlet Mummers were proficient with other weapons as well (or how keen their spellcasting may be), but they definitely favor the boots.
I doubt that Lliira, being a Chaotic Good deity, has any monks or paladins. But if one were to build a Scarlet Mummer character (not that I will be adding any new characters to my roster anytime soon, mind you), what might be some good builds or Class combinations for such a character? And how would Scarlet Mummers as a whole be best handled on this server, factionwise or otherwise?
