[QUOTE="Dark Jezter, post: 85168, member: 1015"] If you are like me, you consider the Baldur's Gate games to be the pinnacle of PC RPGs. The epic story, the addictive gameplay, the fantastic settings all serve to make them great games. However, the thing I probably love most about the BG games are the NPCs, they are so deep and interesting that I have considered using them as characters in a pen & paper campaign using the 3e rules. I started by doing a 15th level Imoen. I took her ability scores directly from the game, but added the additional ability points to her intelligence. Oh, and in case you are wondering why I gave her skill points in Profession (Cook), it is because she was raised by the bartender "Puffguts" and probably has worked in his kitchen a few times. Anyway, without further adeu... [b]Imoen Medium-sized human Rogue/Wizard Level 5/10 Hit Dice:[/b] 5d6+10d4+45 (97 hp) [b]Initiative:[/b] +7 (+3 Dex, +4 Improved Init) [b]Speed:[/b] 30 ft.
