Nice, but I'd shave off some of Ariakas' cleric levels and pile on Wizard/WOHS.

You'll need to add a little Blackguard and Monk as well. :D
Q: Someone requested from me to post 3.5E stats of Huma Dragonbane along with other DL NPCs. When I asked him for more info, his reply gave me a Huma with 18 levels as a Crown Knight (don't know which source he used). What I'm wondering is whether this is correct? I have the Dragonlance Adventures hardcover (1E) and the Dungeon adventure Anvil of Time (3E) and both list Huma as an 8th level character. I know Huma couldn't have been that powerful but at that same time he needed to have a high BAB to be able to hit Takhisis.
By no means was Huma 18th level. His legendary status was from his deeds, not his character levels.
I think Anvil of Time has him around 9th or 10th level. I'd say around 8th-10th level would work.
BTW, we have a characters section on the Nexus (link in sig). Feel free to submit those when you have finalized versions.
Legend of Huma has him wielding a broadsword.
AKA in 3.5, a longsword.
Cheers,
Cam
Another solution to the problem would be making his sword a bastard sword. It is what they did to explain Sturm using a greatsword one-handed.
Really, a broadsword is smaller than a bastard sword. As Cam mentions, the longsword is the best comparison since 3.5 doesn't have a broadsword.
The broadsword is a bit wider with a double-edged blade, whereas a longsword proper has a single-edged blade. Broadswords are used more for slashing than for thrusting.
Here's a couple of examples of a broadsword:
Broadsword Pic
Highlander sword (not the samurai)
I think the first one works well for Huma.
The broadsword is a bit wider with a double-edged blade, whereas a longsword proper has a single-edged blade. Broadswords are used more for slashing than for thrusting.
There really isn't a weapon called a longsword in real life, at least not by the people who used them. Vikings and Romans had long swords, but they gave them names. It's a descriptive term and includes broadswords. They're as likely to have 2 edges as one.

Cam

Broadswords are actually very well adapted for thrusting (piercing). Indicative especially in the pic you mentioned since it has a blood channel down the length of most of the blade to the hilt. If my history of blades is correct, that feature made it easier to draw a weapon back out of a slain enemy once impaled.
Vikings and Medieval Europe used 'longswords', but as Cam said, they typically went by different names depending on the culture. I thought Romans typically used the Gladius though (more a short sword)- though I could be wrong. I collect swords as one of my hobbies, and used to participate in medieval historical groups in College a number of years ago.

The Roman cavalry sword, or spatha, was over 2 feet long and was probably the ancestor of the arming sword, the simple one-handed sword used by knights until the evolution of the bastard ("hand-and-a-half") sword and great sword in the 14th centuries. In fact, the D&D longsword is equivalent to the spatha or the arming sword, and the D&D bastard sword is what many military historians refer to when they use the word long-sword. Most of these terms are created centuries after they're actually used, which makes it hard to tell them apart (especially when the same words are used for entirely different things).

Ahh, gotcha. The Spatha was the evolution of the Gladius (much longer- size does matter
) Forgot about that. Whenever I think of Roman weaponry, I just always think of the Gladius for some reason. Guess it's the influence of all the movies over the years. :DThere's also the falcata, which was a one-sided blade...
Really...as far as D&D goes...I think the broadsword is closer to the short sword than the longsword. If someone wanted a broadsword, I'd make it the same size a short sword (maybe a little heavier) and change it's type from Piercing to Slashing. (or hacking...whatever it is)

What I had above mostly came from the AD&D PHB. In there at least, the broadsword is listed as having 2d4 damage - just a hair off of the longsword. The pics I've seen in the 2e Arms and equipment guide have it at about that same size.
I guess it's one of those things where a name can mean 10 different things. *shrugs*
Then of course, there's the DL, Minotaur clabbord sword.

Didn't know about that. Is it an epic item because it seems it would be the only way for him to lance Takhisis.

The rest of his stats look fine but Str seems unnaturally high (Huma wasn't portrayed as inhumanely strong in the novel) and Int a bit low. He might not have been one of the great thinkers but he was better than 8 surely?

The Crystal Orb of Power (minor artifact): This artifact functions as a crystal ball with telepathy and can be used to absorb arcane spell energy directed at its wielder, as a rod of absorption does. Unlike the rod, the orb does not burn out once its potential has been discharged. It can be used again to absorb more arcane spell energy. It can absorb a maximum of fifty spell levels. The owner knows the orb’s absorbed potential and current amount of stored energy. The orb can also power any metamagic feats the owner knows by substituting spell energy for every level the metamagic feat increases the spell level without changing the spell slot of the altered spell (ie Empower feat increases the spell level of a spell by two, the orb can use two levels of arcane energy to substitute those increased levels and the spell can be cast at normal levels).

This powerful incantation enables the caster to safely remove an intangible but vital part of the recepient’s life, transporting it through solid objects if need be. The caster places that part – called the Shadow of the Heart – in a closed glass container or a crystal. Once inside, the “shadow” becomes clearly visible as a translucent image of the recipient’s heart beating on its own rhythm while the recipient’s becomes stilled. No apparent change occurs in the recepient himself, although detect magic reveals a strong necromantic spell in operation, centering on his heart.
As long as the Shadow of the Heart remains safely within the container and continues beating, the recipient’s body can endure an incredible amount of damage. He gains damage reduction 10/-. He becomes immune to Constitution ability damage or ability drain, critical hits, death effects (see below, though), disease, exhaustion, fatigue, nonlethal damage, poison, and stunning. He is also immune to any magical effect that inflicts damage without a descriptor such as the various inflict spells. When reduced to 0 or fewer hit points, the character doesn’t become disabled, unconscious, or die; he just keeps on going. Once his hit points drop to –10 or lower, he becomes inert and is unable to move or do anything until he has been brought back to –9 hit points or more. Conversely however the character is unable to recover hit points through natural healing, he must use magical healing if he wishes to remove any damage he has sustained.
Although the subject is effectively immune to many magical and natural attacks, he’s still vulnerable to other types of assault. A death effect cast on the Shadow of the Heart works normally although the character gains a saving throw if there is any.
The vessel or crystal holding the Shadow of the Heart must be within sight of the wizard as he’s casting the spell. Thereafter, the vessel can be any distance from the recipient’s body, without harm to the recipient. Destroying the container kills the recipient, and the spell can be dispelled only at the container’s location without harming the recipient. An unbinding spell can be used at either location to end the spell without harm while a Mordenkainen’s disjunction spell can only be used at the container’s location but doing so kills the recipient.
Wizards often cast lifeproof on themselves as protection against an attack. Some cast it on others as an “insurance policy” – ensuring that a recipient returns from a quest or mission to reclaim that part of his life which the mage holds. Subsequent casting of the spell before the duration expires only increases the duration from when the new spell was cast although if the recipient is unwilling he gains a new saving throw and any spell resistance still applies.
Arcane Material Component: A glass container or crystal that must be transparent worth at least 500 gp. It also must be at least 1 foot in diameter to contain the Shadow of the Heart.
Note: This spell can be made permanent through the permanency spell: Minimum Caster Level 16th, XP Cost 5,000 XP.

hi Green Giant... can we see iconic characters like tanis, strum, tasslehoff ?
I actually have no desire at the moment to post stats on iconic characters. I'll leave that to the professionals.
well thanks for other characters...
I'm sorry, and probably sound like an idiot, but what is Dis levels? (Crysania). Very good work by the way, thanks a lot!
Dis stands for Divine Disciple from the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting and updated in Player's Guide to Faerun. I still use the shorthand for classes to save space in the character's writeup.
I have one question though, why make Galan Dracos LE instead of CE?Each and every other board has always had their own "ready-made" NPCs thread but this forum didn't. Good thinking, keep up the good work!

Thanks for the heads up on the spell and Kaz's weapon. I have a lot of sourcebooks to go through when creating characters and sometimes things slip by. I knew I had seen a similar spell somewhere but I wasn't able to find it.
DL isn't my strong suit like FR which is why some of the NPCs don't have the right equipment or DL appropriate material since I don't have as many DL sourcebooks as compared with FR. It's why I'm reluctant to stat out DL NPCs because I know that other 3E DL sourcebooks have the stuff I need that can make the NPC better but its a choice between affording FR material or other generic material and DL material and I will choose the former over the latter anytime.
Any modern day characters? Perhaps we could see some of the Second Generation characters, such as Tanin, Sturm, and Palin Majere?
it looks tough
Hey, Green Giant, what else do you have in the works?
