Garthanos
Arcadian Knight
There is a standing tradition of building the characters from the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings in D&D. And I probably dont need to describe him that much ;p
Gandalf is supposed to be the primary inspiration for the Invoker class - but it looks like to get the feel for him.. an Avenger/Invoker might better do the trick (I dont picture him hiding chain under those robes - but Armor of Faith)....
In the past I have argued Gandalf seemed to bring in some Paladin-hood but that was as much the bonded mount feature (which Paladins no longer push and the dabbling of Leader healer elements certainly which are emphasized in the character and the heavy knowledge feature could be bard like (the creation of his world is described as being a song so this emphasis is not bad)?
So maybe he isnt quite so nailed down?
Does anybody not think Deva is a solid racial archetype? for this reincarnating Maiar hero
Wonder what power level to build him at say ---
Paragon (Gandalf the Grey) / Epic (Gandalf the White)
The threads I have seen were earlier in D&D 4e's development cycle and really didnt seem to capture him that well.
for example
D&D 4e challenge: stat out the Fellowship of the Ring! - RPGnet Forums

Nyeh...nothing even worth mining.
