Oct 24, 2008 10:29:38 Anybody got the stats for Dorn? Or was his name Norn? You know, the lead guy from Year of the Rogue Dragons series? What's his level? He seems to be pretty epic since he can kill dragons and dragonliches.

Oct 24, 2008 10:33:14 -Yeah, his name was 'Dorn'.

-Let's see...He'd have the Half-Golem template, from Monster Manual II. I say, he's probably be some kind of multiclass combination of Fighter, Ranger (with Favored Enemy: Dragon), and Dragonslayer, from the Draconomicon.

Human/Iron Half-Golem Fighter 10 / Ranger 3

-I was close.

-Yes.

-Well, two things:

(A) Authors write the books. They're allowed to use poetic license to "color" their novels. Sure, things won't pan out exactly, if you use D&D stats, but that's alright.

(B) Dorn alone did not beat Samaster, and the Cult of the Dragon. He had plenty of help. The combined plenty of help all chipped in.

Wasn't happy about the best character getting smoked.

-Who was it that died? It's been so long- and, I was reading the Erevis Cale trilogy at the same time- that I don't remember too much about the characters.

Oct 25, 2008 14:24:24 Pavel, I believe. Been a long time here, as well. The back-n-forth between him and Will (the halfling) was fun.

Eh. Will and Jak should never get mixed up--two totally different halflings there.
