He was clearly not athletic, and with the exception if his item of power, his friends were entirely supportive of him. Eric on the other hand was a piiece of work and his friends were not afraid to call him out for it. Eric was depicted like Daniel Lurusso from Karate Kid. The semi-preppy look while not being the blonde like Hank.So, I do not think the hulking beefcake and slutty seductress was all the art TSR had to offer. Thinking differing looks and body styles as modern only fails to take into account that most internal art in D&D was black and white until right before WotC purchased TSR. Depictions of things were harder in black and white which lacks color depth, but you had some very "not Hollywood" looking adventurers in those older products.The cartoons character art diversity in the 1980s was way greater than when WotC took over in 2000s.Sorry, for not answering your actual thread topic before taking the discussion AWOL about teiflings.</blockquote>
