Hello All,

I am trying to locate stats for the characters who appeared in the 80's Cartoon series "Dungeons & Dragons".

I am a 3.5 DM, but have played under all the versions of the game and could probably convert whatever was offered.

That being said, I could probably just make up the characters myself if it comes to it. Any suggestions on character classes? (Yeh ... I Know Bobby is a Barbarian :) )

Many thanks in advance

The Thief-Acrobat (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/iw/20041210b&page=3) PrC from Complete Adventurer was made with Diana in mind, at least in part. The Example Character is even named after her.

If I remember right they were:

barbarian with some magical club
ranger with a bow that shoots magical (energy?) arrows
thief with a cloak of invisibilty
cavalier with a shield that provided some kind of dome of protection
wizard with a magic hat
thief-acrobat with . . . (i dont know what except a quarterstaff)
baby unicorn (should have never been with the group IMHO)

I think that is all there was, i could be wrong though.

Samurai has the characters right. For Cavalier, I'd probably just go with a fighter. Since he never actually used a weapon that I remember, it's hard to be sure what he was good for other than using that very powerful shield.

The ranger never did anything outdoorsy that I remember (but it's been a LONG time). He basically just wore leather armor and shot the cool bow.

In fact, none of the characters actually showed any of the talents their classes suggested. The thief was pretty nimble with the pole-vaulting and everything, but other than that they basically "played their items" and did problem-solving.

And, yes, the unicorn should die. :)

The cartoon cavalier was proficient in the shield as both armor and weapon. :D
Shield bash is a very effective tool.
Two weapon fighting with two spiked shileds is also quite effective.
And you can enchant your shield(s) with armor enhancements and shield enhancements at the same time!
