Simon Belmont comes to D&D...

Well, it's probably the black sheep in the Castlevania series, but Simon's Quest had a number of different whips. Leather, chain, thorn, and flaming!

Mmm, Flaming Scourge of Disruption.

That was my favorite of the series and is probably one of the better games to look at for weapon selection in this context.

The perfect weapon for a Belmont is a mighty whip dagger(S&F) with the holy,disruption,undead bane abilities.How about porting to D&D the only Castlevania hero that was not a Belmont?(or a human either?)
Alucard the son of Dracula would be the perfect example of a neutral antihero who has rejected his evil vampiric tendencies.I'm thinking he would be a Vampire Fighter 2/Sorcerer 6/Eldrich Knight 7/spellsword 3.
God,Symphony of the Night rocked.

Also on the Nes game Castlevania 3 (the best I have played) you could choose between a dead Vampire Hunter who was a ghost, Alucard, the son of Dracula and Grant, a "humanoid" whose powers were walking on walls and ceilings... Gant was a corrupted servant of dracula that would join you after you defeated him. The game was a Belmont and alternating to one of the allies. The vampire hunetr used a macec if I remember correctly, grant used a knife/dagger and alucard used magic from his cape.

By the way SoN truly rocks, no belmont heroism at all!! (look my sign!)

But, too bad Simon turned evil in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night I was surpirse he was the final boss.

The only thing I have to say if he did look like thise things I guess you could be right.

I don't see him having Paladin levels. Just straight out Fighter with a Prestige Class, perhaps.
As for the whip, check out the Scourge from the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting. It's a better version of the whip, and does 1d8 damage.

I would recomend 5 Ranger levels then take the lasher PrC.

IMC the Scourge is called the Cat-o-nine-tails, when used by someone highly trained with it ie: a lasher its wicked. if the Lasher seems a bit much for you then draw uppon world history. the romans had a specialist called a Lictor [sp] whose ob it was to lash criminals, these guys used special whips [like the cat] and could do a whole lot of damage to someone. the romans even had a rule about the maximum lashes you could do to someone, 40 less 1. more then that could very well kill someone and that was not the intent.

nope, it wasn't Simon in Symphony of the Night it was his decendent Richter Belmont, and Richter wasn't the final boss, Dracula was. Don't tell me you never found the inverted castle?!

The upside down Castle?

Alright. Here's the lowdown on Castlevania

Richter Belmont killed Dracula in 'Dracula X: Rondo of Blood' which was unreleased here. 4-6 years after that, Castlevania reappeared, Richter went in and was enslaved by the Dark Priest Shaft. Maria Renard went in to find her brother-in-Law. Alucard, the dhampir(Half Vampire, Half-Human) son of Dracula, and one of the founders of the belmont Line, awoke from his slumber and entered Castlevania to defeat his Father. He freed Richter from Mind Control, and went on to defeat Shaft and Dracula. Afterwards, he returned to his sleep.
