I know 4 is out and 5 is on the way but until 5 is out I'd rather stick with 3.5. The characters are: Jon Irenicus (Baldurs Gate II) Standard Cowled Wizard (Baldur's Gate II) Leader Cowled Wizard (Baldur's Gate II) The Transcendent One (Planescape Torment) Ravel Puzzlewell (Planescape Torment) Trias the Betrayer (Planescape Torment) Trigit (Planescape Torment) True Shadow (Planescape Torment) (hmm, I think I will post those in the Planescape section...) can someone help? I doubt they have ever been done. EDIT: some items could use a conversion as well..

I saw a thread specifically on Jon Irenecus once: community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/758... From my udnerstanding, he is a 29th level Wizard in 2nd edition (that's all I know). As for the Cowled Wizards, you won't find much information about them in 3.5 books, which is unfortunate given that they are one of my favourite organizations.

Some things don't quite make sense lol, but it gives you an idea where to start I suppose. Mage: Level 29 Experience: 0 Next Level: 7500000 Proficiencies Base THAC0: 11 THAC0: 9 Number of Attacks: 1 Lore: 107 Saving Throws Paralyze/Poison/Death: 8 Rod/Staff/Wand: 3 Petrify/Polymorph: 5 Breath Weapon: 7 Spells: 4 Weapon Proficiencies Blunt Weapon: +++++ Ability Bonuses To Hit: 0 Damage: 0 Open Doors: 13 Weight Allowance: 90 Armour class: -4 Missile Adjustment: +2 Reaction Adjustment: +2 Hit Points/Level: 0 Chance to Learn Spell: 85 Reaction: +4 Resistances Fire: 100 Cold: 100 Electricity: 100 Acid: 100 Magic: 50 Magic Fire: 100 Magic Cold: 100 Strength 13 Dexterity 18 Constitution 14 Intelligence 18 Wisdom 18 Charisma 17 AC: 4 HP: 96 Human Neutral Evil ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mage: Level 30 Experience: 0 Next Level: 7875000 Proficiencies Base THAC0: 11 THAC0: 11 Number of Attacks: 22 Lore: 107 Saving Throws Paralyze/Poison/Death: 6 Rod/Staff/Wand: 3 Petrify/Polymorph: 4 Breath Weapon: 5 Spells: 3 Weapon Proficiencies Quarter Staff: ++ Sling: ++ Ability Bonuses To Hit: 0 Damage: 0 Open Doors: 13 Weight Allowance: 90 Armour class: -4 Missile Adjustment: +3 Reaction Adjustment: +3 Hit Points/Level: 0 Chance to Learn Spell: 95 Reaction: +4 Resistances Fire: 25 Cold: 25 Electricity: 25 Acid: 25 Magic: 40 Magic Fire: 25 Magic Cold: 25 Magic Damage: 25 Poison: 50 Strength 13 Dexterity 20 Constitution 14 Intelligence 19 Wisdom 18 Charisma 17 AC: -4 HP: 146 Elf Neutral Evil Male
#4 Dark_Ansem Nov 15, 2012 13:23:37	thanks :D I wonder where to start... EDIT: in Lands of Intrigue there are Cowled wizards examples, those could be used?
#5 Dark_Ansem Nov 15, 2012 14:14:16	this is the IE version. 2nd edition- about cowled wizards: they are in the Lands of intrigue sourcebook, perhaps one can start from there?
#6 Gwathir Nov 16, 2012 9:10:20	Given that later editions practically seem to ignore of their existence, I think it would be a good place to start, yes.
#7 Dark_Ansem Nov 28, 2012 4:11:17	what about stats of Amunantor?
#8 Gwathir Nov 28, 2012 12:00:55	The God!? Good grief, what sort of crazy epic campaign are you running? LOL Anyways, given that Lathander is the 'aspect' of the god, I would use his stats which can be found on page 37 of the 3.5 Faith and Pantheons book (www.amazon.com/Pantheons-Dungeons-Dragon...) - - - -  Actually I recall a quest in BG2 where you explore the ruins of a forgotten ruined temple of the god. Nice place to explore. Given that the Baldur's Gate games are pretty much the greatest RPGs ever (in my opinion), there is all sorts of nostalgia linked to this. Have a blast DMing it (I know I would), and don't screw it up because the BG ghosts will haunt you lol. Extremely fitting for WOTC to make their first 'Sundering' adventure in.... BALDUR'S GATE, man I don't care if the adventure sucks, 64 pages on one of the most loved Forgotten Realms's cities is worth it for me. www.amazon.com/Storm-Over-Baldurs-Gate-S... And a DM screen just for the city? How cool is that? Man, why couldn't they think of stuff like this for 4E? I mean they did release Neverwinter (and yes the themes are awesome) but by then I think tons of their fans had already started to give up on the franchise and move on to 3.5/Pathfinder. cheers,
#9 Dark_Ansem Nov 30, 2012 4:32:22	there was a thread here that had all stats of gods, but it's been archived and I cannot find it anymore.
