Nov 23, 2007 23:09:29 Anyone have access to these? I play old style, so if it's in the newer version sorry for bothering. He's mentioned in the first box set but the bastards didn't provide any statistics in the Who's Doomed section, nor in the second compendium or the other box sets. If you have some sort of link or anything that would be great. I checked the forum and couldn't find anything.

Nov 24, 2007 6:44:45 I believe Easan has no official stats. I have almost every 2nd ed. and 3rd ed. product and he's not in any of them.

This also means he's very customizable. Make him as weak or as strong as your party requires. Then when they kill him, he comes back!

Edit: forgot to mention. In 3rd ed., his domain (Vechor) appears in the northeast corner of the map. They put a new ocean to the east of Darkon and Nova Vaasa, and Vechor is like the tip of a new continent in the northeast (think Alaska and the Bering Strait).

Nov 24, 2007 8:03:18 Tsk tsk HumanBing... Easan the Mad is CLEARLY stated in Secrets of the Dread Realms, pg. 57. He is a male fiendish wood elf wizard 13. This probably doesn't help the poster though, as I believe he is looking for 2nd ed stats, and i'm pretty sure I can't post Easan's stats anyways.

Nov 24, 2007 11:52:54 Easan was detailed in the 2e book Domains of Dread if I remember correctly.

Nov 24, 2007 14:14:27 Ah well, thanks anyway. They give a good description of him in the second compendium where they detail Ahmi Vanjuko, and based on that it doesn't sound like they originally conceived of him as a wood elf at all. I'll go by that description and write something up and perhaps post it. In the first box set, Vechor, in case you didn't know, is one of the islands. Fitting him into a quest with Vanjuko is not going to be easy. Of course, the mists do what they like and the players don't really know that (at least yet), so I could always just have it so happen, but I like when it makes more sense other than I felt like it. I did find an online source that gives the stats, the VERY basic ones mind you, but the whole wood elf thing sounds silly to me and using demons to possess everyone left and right is tiresome so I'll do something on him myself with a cooler story. Demons all the time.

Nov 26, 2007 11:10:31 We at the FoS are currently scrambling to finish the Nocturnal Sea Survey, so it shouldn't be too long (couple of months, maybe?) before our take on Easan the Mad and his domain will be available. YMMV, of course.

Nov 26, 2007 23:39:57 Easan's 3e stats are in Secrets of the Dread Realms.

Summary: Fiendish Wood Elf Wiz13 with some wacky darklord powers: reshape objects in Vechor at will, cast spontaneously like a sorcerer, detect thoughts on anyone in Vechor, regeneration.

hope that's not too much copyrighted detail

EDIT: oops, saw that you're looking for 2e stats. Well, maybe that will help anyway.

Nov 27, 2007 14:23:23 If you've got the books, Easan was a 2e Wild Mage 13.

Nov 27, 2007 19:35:26 Thanks for the help. I'll just make my own stats and see what you guys come up with later. I've got a nice story for him that sounds a lot cooler than something like 'crazy wood elf'. Why would he be a wood elf? Talk about stupid.

Dec 04, 2007 16:24:02 I believe Wild Mage is a prestige class in Complete Arcane. If you have that book, I recommend rebuilding him to include levels in it (though he should still be only 13th level.) Of course this is only if you want to update him to the current system. Mikhal is right. His 2nd ed stats ARE in Domains of Dread.

I'd reread his background if I was you, especially the part set in Greyhawk

Dec 07, 2007 21:35:43 Wait a minute! That demon lord guy......... is that Iuz?

highpriestmikhal
Dec 08, 2007 18:34:59 Yes, in fact, it is Iuz that made Easan what he is.

Joël

I go by the background presented in the first box set, which does not mention such a thing. Also, in the second monstrous compendium for Ravenloft when it describes him, he is certainly NOT a wood elf. Wood elfs are neutral, which is close enough I guess, but it would have made more sense for him to be a drow or something. But hey, you can do anything with the game so why not? I just think the whole possession thing is lame, and his short description in the first boxed set seems to contradict what has been said above, I wish they would have just made each lord instead of only a few for you to figure out on your own. He doesn't just experiment on whoever he wants, just people who happen to come up the cliffs, the people described in the set seem content to live in his domain, they aren't frightened at all, which they would be if he was taking them for experiments. I'll check Domains of Dread, currently I don't own it.

Dec 18, 2007 21:03:07 I'm going by their description as monsters in the Monster Manual, first edition.

highpriestmikhal
Dec 18, 2007 21:22:56 The whole wood elf thing is because Iuz was attacking the forest home of the wood elves when he merged the demonic spirit with Easan. And it's said in DoD that Easan stated Iuz could never know the soul of a wood elf. Iuz actually agreed and that's why he merged the demon with the elf--to try and read Easan's thoughts continually and thus understand wood elves. Drow!? They're already evil! Wood elves aren't known for being sadistic madmen that experiment on the souls of others. His race just adds to the tragedy of his story because of that.

Dec 19, 2007 20:08:18 So who is this Iuz? I don't have the book so I don't know. I figured the story was something like that, but then again his original description in there makes him seem more like a guy who just likes to mess with things, not really with any purpose. So is this demon permanently attached to him? Is it still trying to figure things out? I'd rather him have a different tragic story other than demon possession, my quest to create it will yield bitter fruit.
#19
highpriestmikhal
Dec 19, 2007 22:08:29 Iuz is a demigod in the core rules, and was a powerful warlord before that in the Greyhawk setting--the son of a god. He was a powerful wizard (I think) as well as a tyrant bent on world domination. He's since ascended into godhood, but is a minor god at best. It was during his siege of the forest home of the wood elves that Easan confronted him and said, "you'll never know the heart of a wood elf." That's why he merged the soul of Easan and the demon into one being, so he could listen in on Easan's every thought and hopefully understand his foes.

In desperation Easan took up the study of the soul itself, attempting to purge his spirit of the demonic entity. It was his callous and vile experiments on the souls of others that earned him his place as a darklord. In truth there is no way of seperating the two anymore; they're now one and the same.

One thing I realize is that if Easan is totally mad, what exactly is his curse? It seems like he doesn't know or care about his current state and he works on his research of the soul out of habit now. So what is it that torments him?

Not quite High Priest M. You need to put some mroe ranks into knowledge religion

Iuz is the cambion son of the demon lord Graz'zt and Witch Iggwilv. He was one of the nine demigods imprisoned by the mad archmage Zagyg. His own ascension to godhood was achieved by channeling the power of mighty outsiders through the so called soul husks. He is the demigod of Deceit, Pain, Oppression, Evil and rules his own kingdom on the World of Greyhawk.

Iuz himself was never a wizard, the best stats i have seen for him were a marquis half fiend cleric assassin.

Dec 20, 2007 12:19:36 I'm going on what little I've read about him, and that isn't much. What he has to do with Easan I got from DoD, and I haven't read that in years.

Getting back to Easan, I wonder what sort of things he did to the living souls of other beings to warrant darklord status. From his description he sounds a lot like the spiritual version of Mengele.
