Let's see their was the main blonde jock leader guy Hank... he was the Ranger and he had a bow that shot energy arrows, thus never needing ammo.  It also did some cheezy stuff sometimes like firing ensnaring bolts and whatnot.


Their was Eric who was the snarky cavalier and he wielded a shield that could project force fields.  I'm sure somethng akin to this exists, even a simple Shield of protection which grants you and nearby allies DR could be akin to this.  Cavaliers existed in older editions and were particurally cool in 2e.

Presto the Nerdy magician was definately a bumbling wizard type.  His hat would have to be classified as an artifact.  I mean once he pulled out an aircraft carrier!

Diana the Acrobat could be either a rogue or a monk with acrobatics.  She uses a telescopic staff.  There was an acrobat in 2e.  #e has several prestige classes, and of course 4e paragon paths.

Shiela was the rogue and basically had a cloak on invisibility.

Bobby the Barbarian has a club that emits shock waves on the ground, very certain this exists in 4e in many many forms.  I might make these guys up hehe.

I have the D&D cartoon DVD set in a red box that comes with a small mini-module. As nice as the set is, the mini-module uses the sh!tty v.3.5 rules, so it has more junk (rules) then fluff. If it used old-school rules, there would have been more room for more workable descriptions, and would have kept the general feel of the 80's. They also opt for those funny-looking D&D Miniature tiles, instead of the old grid-paper look, which holds more area and looks better.

Note, that there was a 2nd edition book that had a Cavalier, Acrobat, and Barbarian class, but they where really pointless and needlessly complex.

Here are the basic stats from the booklet (all characters are 7th level):

Hank the Ranger: LG Ranger (15 years old)
(I use the Fighter class, as he dose not play-out like a lame-ass D&D Ranger)
Energy Bow: +2 Comp. Longbow. Does 2d6 points of magic force.
(personally, I just have it fire magic missiles)

Eric the Cavalier: NG Fighter (15)
Griffin Shield: +2 bashing heavy steel shield, with Otiluke's resilient sphere at a 10' radius.

Diana the Acrobat: LG Monk (14, and damn well worth it! )
Javelin Staff: +2 ki strike quarterstaff, with +5 Jump, +4 Str for trip attacks.

Albert "Presto" the Magician: NG Wizard (12)
Hat of Many Things: Acts as a rod of wonder.

Sheila the Thief: NG Rogue (13, and makes me fell so guilty! )
(ah, back in the days when rogues were called "thieves")
Cloak of Invisibility: (see cloak of invisibility in whatever book you are using)

Bobby the Barbarian: CG Barbarian (8)
Thunder Club: +2 greatclub, +4 Str.
(sounds like a really bad euphemism)

Uni the Young Unicorn: LG, 3HD unicorn.

Venger: NE male half-fiend human Sorcerer 13/Archmage 5. (1,000+ years old)

I hope you find this helpful?
