CADDERLY

Human male 20th-level priest of Deneir
ARMOR CLASS: 8
MOVE: 12
HIT POINTS: 80
THAC0: 8
NO. OF ATTACKS: 1
ALIGNMENT: Neutral good
STR 16, DEX 15, CON 15, INT 18, WIS 20, CHA 15

Spells: As the Chosen of Deneir, Cadderly has no need to
pray for spells as most priests do. All he has to do is play the
song of Deneir in his mind (see Tome of Universal Harmony
under “Unique Abilities/Items” below), and the appropriate
priest spell will be available. Cadderly has major access to all
spheres; his lone limitation is that he can safely cast only 80
spell levels of magic in a day. If he casts a spell that causes him
to exceed that limit, the spell works as desired, but he must
make a system shock roll or become incapacitated by a blinding
headache. Even after he recovers from the headache, he remains
unable to acquire or cast any spell of greater than 4th
level for a number of weeks equal to the excess spell levels he
has used. While Cadderly is involved with the building of his
cathedral to Deneir (see “Motivations/Goals” below), he uses
no more than 75 spell levels each day.

Weapons of Proficiency: hand crossbow; bo stick
(1d6/1d4; see The Complete Fighter’s Handbook, pages 95 and
100); blowgun, barbed dart; quarterstaff; spindle-disk
(1d3+1/1d4+1); 4 open. A spindle-disk looks like a yo-yo that
is as big as a man’s fist. The string connecting it to Cadderly’s
hand is 3 feet long. He can use the object as a weapon at melee
range (speed factor 2); it will return to his hand automatically if
it misses, and can be rewound manually if it hits (but its speed
factor is 7 during a round in which it needs to be rewound).
The weapon is made of hard crystal; if someone parries it with
an edged weapon, there is a 10% chance that it will take a nick
out of the blade (–1 to the weapon’s damage thereafter).
Nonweapon Proficiencies: ancient history (various cultures);
animal lore (flying squirrel); engineering; languages, ancient
(several); reading/writing; religion (worship of Deneir);
riding, land-based (horse); spellcraft.

Equipment: Cadderly is bound to the site of his new cathedral
and will not be seen with any equipment other than his
beige robes and pants, his leather boots, a broad-brimmed blue
hat that has a gold and porcelain holy symbol of Deneir affixed
to the front, and a small pouch and a writing kit at his belt.
In his adventuring days, Cadderly carried a ram-headed
walking stick and had a hand crossbow at his side in a specially
made holster. Across his chest was a bandolier containing bolts
for the crossbow. On his left hand was a ring with a curiouslooking
small feather protruding from it. The top of the ring
could be unscrewed and used as a dart from Cadderly’s blowgun
(see below). The inside of the ring contained a dose of drow
sleep poison that coated the dart’s head.

Magical Items: Cadderly’s ram-headed walking stick is a
multipurpose magical weapon. It can be used in melee combat
as a bo stick +2, or he can remove the ram-head end and use the
hollow stick as a blowgun. His bandolier holds a maximum of
16 unusual crossbow bolts: darts with a small vial of oil of impact
inside each one, constructed so that the vial is crushed and the
oil explodes when the dart hits a target. Each dart has a +3 attack
bonus and a +9 damage bonus. Cadderly also has a tube
with a continual light spell cast on the inside of it. An adjustable
closure on one end of the tube allows him to focus the light into
a narrow beam or expand it to brighten a large area.

Combat/Tactics: Cadderly never intended to become embroiled
in combat as a priest of Deneir. His spindle-disks (which
he crafted after reading about them in an old book) were originally
intended for amusement, and his crossbow with the oil of
impact darts was meant to be used more for blasting obstacles
than for combat. The course of his adventures, however, made
fighting a necessity.
When he fought, he preferred to let allies who had a better
grasp of strategy and tactics do their thing. This is not to
say that he was a coward. He could use his spindle-disks to
disarm or incapacitate opponents, and against undead he did
not hesitate to use his explosive darts. When he killed the
evil priest Barjin with a dart, it was an accident, and one that
preyed on Cadderly’s mind for a long time.
As he got more experienced, Cadderly was forced more
often to resort to melee weapons, such as his bo stick/blowgun.
Eventually his connection with Deneir became so powerful
that spells became his most potent weapon.
One of his benefits as the Chosen of Deneir is access to all
Telepathic Sciences and Devotions (see Chapter 7, The Complete
Psionics Handbook). He has 100 PSPs.

Appearance: Standing 6 feet tall and weighing a bit less
than 200 pounds, Cadderly is a man in his mid-30’s who looks
considerably older than that. The beginnings of crow’s feet can
be seen around his striking gray eyes, and his curly brown hair is
beginning to turn gray. He is handsome and has a sincere, warm
smile. If he is angered, his glare can be unrelenting.

Pikel Bouldershoulder, (N dm D5/F5) :
Pikel is perhaps the only dwarven druid known in Faerūn. He is about the
same size as his brother Ivan, but is more round-shouldered.
His hair and beard are dyed green, and his beard is parted in
the middle and pulled back over his ears and braided. He
wears a set of ring mail armor, and sports a cooking pot as a
helm and sandals on his feet. His one weapon is a 4-foot-long
polished smooth bark tree limb. At its widest end it is 1 foot
in diameter, and there are leather loops at the narrow end
and at various intervals so Pikel can use it in a variety of ways
in battle. One of his favorite tactics is to whirl around in a
circle to take out numerous enemies, although this often
makes him so dizzy that he falls down. For fighting undead,
Pikel has a waterskin with a nozzle on it, and he thoroughly
enjoys squirting holy water on them.

Sorry but I did not find stats for the latter.
