11-23-04, 06:09 PM Does anybody know who the Paladin/Cleric type is who is portrayed on the back cover of the book fighting the Bone Devils?

Furthermore what type of weapon is it, that he's wielding? Is it a stylised Battle Axe/Great Axe? The weapon strikes me most as being like a Bardiche (Axe type Polearm).

Any ideas? IMO this piece of art is even more striking than the actiual art on the front cover.

TIA

11-24-04, 03:03 AM I'd say Glaive too. And to me, that guy appears to be a Paladin of Lathander. He also features in the Underdark and CotSQ. In CotsQ he is shown with a large dancing (is that the ability?) shield.

His sun elf wizard companion is Arevain from Rich Baker's Forsaken House.

Animated Shield. The other DM in our group used one on me first, and then got upset when I used it also in his Epic game. Animated Shield and Two-Weapon Fighting :D

And not that is not a Glaive, it more like a strange Bardiche/Halberd than a Glaive. A Glaive is more like a "sword-blade" on a stick. A good example from the orient is the Naginata.
Whatever it is, it is funky.
