01-05-05, 03:33 AM Redrick the Magnificent
Male human, Bard 12; CR 12; HD 12d6; hp 48; Init +3; Spd 30; AC 18, touch 13, flat-footed 15; BAB +9; Grapple +15; Att bastard sword +14/+9 (1d10+5, 17-20); SQ bardic music, bardic knowledge, countersong, fascinate, inspire courage +2, inspire competence, suggestion, inspire greatness, song of freedom; AL NG; SV Fort +4, Ref +11, Will +11; Str 14, Dex 16, Con 10, Int 14, Wis 16, Cha 22. Height 6´8”.
Skills: Bluff +21, Concentration +15, Diplomacy +21, Perform (sing) +21, Perform (oratory) +24, Perform (strings) +24, Sense Motive +18.
Feats: Exotic Weapon Proficiency (bastard sword), Improved Critical (bastard sword), Jotunbrud, Skill Focus (perform: oratory, stringed), Weapon Focus (bastard sword).
Possessions: masterwork yarting (platinum strings, decorated with various gems and metals), handharp, glassteel bastard sword (a gift from an avariel who was really delighted by Redrick’s yarting expertise), elven chain, black clothes with dark blue shades, polished blackwood cane topped with a small emerald (immovable rod, also the focus of the Red Wizard’s domination), potion of restoration (2), potion of cure serious wounds (3), jewelery (golden ring with emerald, silver ring with ruby of wizardry III, platinum ring of protection +3, silver symbol of Milil, several silver necklaces), yarting of dominion.

Spells: DC 16+level; spells per day: 3/5/5/8/3
0 – ghost sound, lullaby, mending, dancing lights, summon instrument, message
1st – ventriloquism, unseen servant, disguise self, animate rope
2nd – hold person, suggestion, eagle’s splendour, animal messenger
3rd – charm monster, speak with animals, crushing despair, fear
4th – cure critical wounds, legend lore, modify memory

Yarting of Dominion: when played by someone who knows what he’s doing (i.e. has ranks in Perform (strings), this magical Yarting places all those who hear it under the command of the player. Subjects of this power are allowed a Will saving throw to ignore the enchantment; the DC is the result of the user's Perform (strings) roll. Those who fail will do what the performer says, as though under the effects of a Suggestion spell.

Brown eyes, long black hair, and a massive, athletic body. Redrick is a graceful, likeable person, even though he has an air of haughtiness around him sometimes. Famous throughout the Unapproachable East, Redrick loves the job and everything that comes with it, from the willing ladies to the free drinks to the battles that ensue whenever he’s searching ancient ruins for more song and story material. Everyone has at least heard of Redrick, and he is, without a doubt, worthy of his surname. Master of the yarting, and a lively storyteller, people always leave his shows satisfied.
Recently, however, a Red Wizard decided to cast a spell on Redrick, and after a battle of the will, he succeeded. Now, Redrick has been dominated by this wizard, who gave him the Yarting of Dominion. The Wizard lets Redrick perform, and then use the instrument to have the audience throw every valuable item they have with them onto the stage. He also commands Redrick to have a number of people meet him backstage, where the Red Wizard and his cronies kill the poor beings, and transform them into undead.

They are too big to post. At least with stats, full item list, and history. Happens when your favorite characters are holdovers from 1E that has been revised to 3E, since changes between 1E and 2E were almost nil.
Sides I don't think 40+ or 70+ level characters would be appropriate to post :D Very rarely get to play them, and then usually only as "gated" help in an Epic game, with advance DM approval. Since our Epic Game is only at 33rd level so far.

Background: Ariel is the fusion of two personalities into one body. Charles Franklin was a software and electrical engineer looking for work in New York City, when a woman approached him on a subway offering a “job with benefits”. Charles hadn’t seen work in a long time so he readily accepted. No sooner did he shake hands with her that the subway train derailed. Charles later found out that the entire train with all of its passengers was plane-shifted to another plane of existence where the Forgotten Realms and more specifically the city of Waterdeep resides, this was a Waterdeep of the Future circa 2005 DR. After the emergency workers let the passengers out of the subway cars and directed them to the emergency exit, Charles wandered the city for a while at first thinking he was still in New York City. Charles notices some subtle differences though, first he didn’t recognize any of the street names, then he found out that his money was no good. Being rendered effectively penniless, and wondering where he was going to spend the night, Charles decided to climb the mountain road leading to Castle Waterdeep which still existed in that era, figuring that place to be the center of governmental authority. The castle received him along with several hundred other displaced New Yorkers. The halfling lord mayor promised to return all the displaced passengers to their proper plane of existence in due course, meanwhile they were given numbers and were called sequentially. When Charles number was called, he was directed to a room where he met a wizard. The wizard had an amulet that belonged to and was left by the mortal Midnight shortly before she ascended to godhood, when Charles approached, the amulet glowed. The wizard concluded that Charles was the chosen one that the goddess Mystra (aka Midnight) was looking for. Charles later found out that the woman who offered him a job was in fact Midnight, or more specifically Midnight’s avatar. The wizard said that he could not return Charles to his world currently because Midnight brought him here for a reason; he assumed it was to become an apprentice. The wizard offered Charles a job and Charles accepted seeing how he had no job. Charles got an advance on his pay, and with a little help from the wizard managed to get a hotel room in town.
While Charles was watching the strange television programs from the Sword Coast, he heard a knock on his door, he asked who it was and the answer he got was, “it’s Midnight.” Charles looked at his watch and it clearly wasn’t midnight and he said so. Midnight teleported into his room saying, “No not that midnight, it’s me Midnight!” Charles got the connection and backed away saying, “How did you do that?” Midnight simply teleported to within a few inches of his face and said, “Like this.” Midnight was a beautiful woman and he didn’t mind her up close, but he said that he had some stuff he left back in his own home. Midnight offered to get it for him, she noticed him staring at her and said matter-of-factly, “do you like this body?” Charles said, “Yes” and then Midnight kissed him. Charles felt a little woozy and when his head cleared, he found himself in Midnight’s body, and she in hers. As he saw Midnight leaving his room, she promised to retrieve his stuff, but warned that there was a powerful goddess named Shar who wanted to kill him and said that he would be safer in her body in this plane than in his own back on Earth. Midnight in Charles’s body disappeared and Charles was staring at himself in the mirror, not quite believing that any of this has happened. The body he was in belonged to the original mortal Midnight and it had that mortal’s memories from 700 years ago. Charles was confused; he couldn’t tell his own memories from hers and really didn’t know who she was. Was he Charles in a woman’s body or the woman Midnight Resurrected? The memories told Charles/Midnight that she was supposed to become a goddess and instead ended up 700 years in the future with no memories in-between, another set of memories told him that he was a man in a woman’s body but he couldn’t tell which were the correct memories and which belonged to a body that wasn’t his. Midnight’s mortal memories formed a distinct personality separate from Charles’s. Charles’s and Midnight’s personalities dueled inside one body with Midnight being the brave and adventuresome one and Charles’s being the one who didn’t want anything to so with adventure and danger. The Midnight part of her remembered the Yawning Portal from 700 years ago, and decided to take a walk to see if it still existed! Charles remembered that too and knew of the well that leaded to the Dungeon Undermountain that was full of monsters, in no way did he want to go there. Charles and Midnight mentally wresled in one body, and Midnight’s personality eventually won out and Charles found himself walking unwillingly to the one location where he did not want to go. Midnight/Charles entered the Tavern and she met 3 other adventurers: a retired soldier/mercenary named Kyle Hobart, a half-drow thief named Sleena, and a cleric of the church of Tymora named Mitchel Perlman. The personalities of Charles and Midnight struggled once again when Midnight wanted to flirt with Kyle, Charles was repelled with the notion and did so unwillingly as the female hormones that came with the body tipped the scales in her favor, but Charles had some control and the flirtation was limited. Another thing Charles realized was that he had not only Midnight’s memories as a mortal, but also her spells! Also in Midnight’s handbag was her 700 year old spellbook. Midnight and the three others descended into Undermountain with Charles still wanting to scream inside her body, but Midnight suppressed it.

The personalities of Charles and Midnight struggled once again when Midnight wanted to flirt with Kyle, Charles was repelled with the notion and did so unwillingly as the female hormones that came with the body tipped the scales in her favor, but Charles had some control and the flirtation was limited. Another thing Charles realized was that he had not only Midnight’s memories as a mortal, but also her spells! Also in Midnight’s handbag was her 700 year old spellbook. Midnight and the three others descended into Undermountain with Charles still wanting to scream inside her body, but Midnight suppressed it.
