Aug 13, 2003 19:01:12 Has anyone attempted to stat the major characters from the books? If so what classes do you think they would have had?
Just a guess but I'd go with the following for the original characters (at the Inn of the Last Home):

Tanis (5th Ranger)
Sturm (4th Fighter)
Caramon (4th Fighter)
Raistlin (3rd Wizard/1st WoHS)
Tasslehoff (5th Rogue)
Flint (5th Fighter or 4th Fighter/1st Ranger)
Riverwind (2nd Ranger/2nd Fighter)
Goldmoon (5th Cleric of Mishakal)

Just a personal guess, anyone else? any other characters?

EDIT: Goldmoon's obviously a strange case, though. From a "balance" standpoint, I'd make her a Noble until she gets her clerical powers.

Aug 13, 2003 20:18:10 hmmm, I had forgotten about the noble class. A plainsfolk noble is a very interesting combination since they are nearly always asscociated with more 'civillised' cultures. I like the idea. As for Riverwind it was the rage ability that threw me (Maybe Tanis should have a level of barbarian ).

How about:

Laurana (2nd noble)
Gilthanis (1st noble/1st fighter/5th Wizard)
Steel Brightblade (3rd Fighter/3rd Knight of the Lily)

Aug 13, 2003 22:34:28 I have them all written up as 5th level characters ready to play through the original modules. Some of them were 6th level in AD&D (such as Sturm and Caramon), others were 4th (Flint and Tas) or even 3rd (Raistlin) but I felt having the party be composed of equal-level characters was more in line with the current rules.

I'll be posting these on the Nexus at some point in the near future.

Cheers,

Aug 14, 2003 0:54:50 I'm starting up the original modules tomorrow night and I think the chars panned out as 5th and 6th level. I should have probably reined back the 6ths but i figured it wouldn't hurt anything.
Tanis (Ranger2/Fighter3) - I wanted to keep him a fighter but I couldnt help but give into the urge for woodsiness
Sturm (Fighter 6)
Raist (Wizard 3/WoHS 2) I really almost cheated and gave him a level of War Mage, but I realized that it was thoroughly useless to him since he has no charisma modifier.
Caramon (Fighter 6) DUH.
Goldmoon (Noble 1/Cleric 4) I wanted to at least open up the avenue for using Noble stuff.
Tas doesn't get stats because then people woudl make me roll them since I kept him back as an NPC along with....
Flint (Expert 3/Fighter 4) Slightly more experienced than the others but alot of it is as a craftsman rather than a warrior, so i figured it evened out.
Riverwind (Ranger 5) I looked at Barbarian but it just didnt seem right.
Gilthanas (Noble 2/Wizard 3) I have a question here. Did Gil just dabble or did he join the orders or was he just a renegade? I haven't read everything in a while but i don't remember it ever referring to him as a member of any order, or the subject coming up.

During the 4th Age he pretty much just dabbled. During the 5th he became a sorceror.
