Hi, Monte. I have heard that you were the creator of the Planescape NPC character, Tarsheva Longreach.
This NPC never received a write-up for stats, class, level, alignment, Faction, etc. However, if you are indeed the creator of this NPC, I thought you might have statted her and thought I'd ask. Or if you never did, you could do so NOW and post it! I'd be eternally grateful. (I don't care if they are 2nd Edition stats - that's fine...)
(P.S. If you are not her creator, maybe point me in the right direction as to who to ask?)
I did create her, in the Planewalker's Handbook. I wanted to have the voice of someone who had really been all over the multiverse--the quintessential Planescape character. She never had stats. I never wanted to stat her up because if she was meant to be the voice of knowledge, not someone you could fight or even partner with. A character without hit points can never die, if you see what I mean.
That said, in Ptolus I created a character called Sheva Callister. Sheva really was Tarsheva in every way. That means Tarsheva was probably about a 12th level fighter and is the very epitome of the Neutral alignment.
Sheva was also the main character in the Ptolus comic book series I wrote for Marvel. She carried a really evil, really powerful greatsword that she managed to master without being evil herself.
