[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 5550827, member: 92511"] Do you remember the action figure line for various "sample" Dungeons & Dragons characters in the 80's? Has anyone ever statted them up and played them in a table top game? Just as a stray thought, I wondered if the characters they created could/would actually be a viable party put together. Given the years these toys were created, I guess they would appropriately be created as 1e AD&D characters. Here's the guys I was thinking of, though I know there were others... Ringlerun: the wizard Strongheart: the paladin Elkhorn: the dwarf...fighter I presume since he was wearing chain armor. Though making him a fighter-thief since they never released any "good thief" figures. Melf (though when I originally got him, he had some other I don't wuite recall...Meriden...or something like that?): an elf...appeared to be a fighter, I would make him a fighter-magic-user. Mercion: the cleric (she had that cool staff with mace heads at each end :) If you want to get reeeeally into it, there's also... Northlord: the barbarian Deeth:...I think she was a "cavalier." Heavy plate armor and shield with a triple flail weapon. I remember (but never had) a ranger figure...and was there a second (male) cleric figure? I dunno. Was just waxing nostalgic and wondering if anyone ever tried using these guys in an actual PnP game. --SD [/QUOTE]
