"...I think you'll find me extraordinarily hard to kill."  Ellen would answer, though she wouldn't go into detail on just why she was so yet.  She'd want to save the fact that she was already dead for when they were being magically scryed during the competition, so that she could come out of the coffin with the most impact...   "You should probably avoid testing just how hard, though.  Anyway, as I'm sure you can already see, my basic skills include being versed in the use of heavy armor and a tower shield.  I can be a mobile 'wall', putting myself between you and our opponents, and I'd also put extra emphasis on the 'mobile' part of that, since I can also fly with exceptionally good maneuverability.  My offensive options are mostly limited to a form of telekinesis, but I can also heal and cast a few low-level divine spells, as well as Detect Evil as I please.  Basic Paladin stuff, really."<br/><br/>That was the basic combat stuff, anyway.  She also had a simple, though possibly quite useful skill-set...  But she doubted that they'd need someone with a winning personality to go around town and ask about various bits and pieces of information during this upcoming competition, and with two mage-types in the party, they certainly wouldn't have need of her own meager skill at Spellcraft...
