D&D stats for Jesus?

[Tuzenbach]

Who's Jesus?

I wonder if anyone ever asked Colonel Pladoh if he used the Bible as a source book?

Absolutely he did... Half the cleric spells, especially those from 1st ed. were miracles taken straight out of both the old and new testaments. Sticks to Snakes, Magic Stone, Water Walk, and Insect Plague are all good examples.

That guy who works at Del Taco, I guess. I figure maybe Expert 1, since he seems to be some kind of low-level manager.

Low or mid-level expert (unexceptional hit points and about as prone to damage as an average human being) with a couple of spell-like abilities castable 3/day or some such number, e.g. Commune, Contact Other Plane, and Miracle.

If you take source material such as Paradise Lost into consideration then, Jesus is able to singlehandedly defeat the entire army of Satan. I would imagine that two sets of statistics would be needed; one for before the resurrection, and one for after.

I have a vague memory that there was a thread on RPG.net a couple of years ago where people came up with stat blocks in assorted systems, including Feng Shui and Mutants and Masterminds.

I alos have a vague memory that the thread got closed there, too.

Sorry, guys.

However, it seems to me that if D&D can handle having stats for Satan (Dragon #28, "The Politics of Hell"), it wouldn't destroy the game to have those for Jesus also.

But Jesus isn't Satan's counterpart (for lack of a better word). St. Micheal the Archangel would be Satan's counterpart.

Jesus = God. He's definitely not comparable to a mere fallen angel.

Edit: Apperantly this thread was supposed to be locked so I remove this.

Flamestrike and blade barrier too, I believe. And of course, raise dead and resurrection. Wasn't there a spell specifically for parting large bodies of wather?

If we're saying a Jesus that's actually the son of God, then what's all this template talk? There are stats out there for demigods and rules for them in Deities & Demigods. As for class, I think he's about favored soul as favored soul gets, though don't ask me what God's favored weapon is.

OTOH, he could also be a rogue with high ranks in Bluff, Sleight of Hand (for pulling fish & wine out of nowhere), and Escape Artist (extracting oneself from a crucifix is a feat that awe Houdini himself).

Kinda like Gandalf, then ?

Tonguez convinced me. Low to mid level Expert. High mental stats.

I'd add Spell-like ability: Miracle at will. Caster level 20.

Oh, Neutral Good. Definitely NG.
