Etoh from "Record of the Lodoss War"

[Tsyr]

Well, I'd offer to trade... Buy me them on DVD and I'll send you my VHS copies... But somehow I doubt you would consider that a good deal If I could afford to buy the DVDs, I'd send you them free, but I cant.

For you non-Japanese Lodoss fan, these are original stats for some characters Written in Japanese, but you could recognize if you are old timers
(They are scaned images from magazine. I don't have bigger images or magazine itself.)

It was original D&D, not AD&D.

Does the Japanese D&D Book look like this?

Yes, and I have one.
Very few Japanese supplements were available in these days, and I wasn't able to read English. I learned English from RPGs much more than schools

I feel I'm old, "Record of the Lodoss War" was one of my very first experience about RPGs.

I'm surprised that Parn isn't a lower level than everybody else. I definitely get the impression he is when watching the movie.

In OD&D, there was no minimum stat requirement to cast spells, so no worries with the two 13's and a 12 for the spellcasters.

Looking back, I wish there were a Halfling in the story. Halfling is the only class that wasn't represented in the movie, and my first character was a Halfling.

My friends started me out as a Halfing Rogue and died, after years of losing characters I manage to get a Human Barbarian to 12th level.For some reason People like him they always want him in the game.

RotLW is using basic D&D characters. No Barbarians, no Halfling Rogues.

Just Fighters, Halflings, and Thieves.
