[QUOTE="Krail Stromquism, post: 1958099, member: 2400"] [b]Hey, wait! Wait for me![/b] Hey Guys! Hi Kai Lord! Wow I love WAR. I guess Im not elligible. Well so be it. BUt I have so many other great characters! Efrim MacGregor 36th Level Mage. HE is an OE character from my friend Justins Campaign. For those of you familiar with the Mystara setting or old Glantri, you will recognize the name MacGregor. Prince Branart MAcGregor, the head cheese up in Glantri, Klantyre country! He was long cury dark brown hair, brown eyes and wears the traditional garb of the MacGregor Clan, kilt and all. Hes actually looks-wise based off a character from Rob Roy, I think his name was Alister, he the young highlander that falls asleep watching Rob Roys house. GEAR: He is always seen his two daggers, his Blitz Blades: Blitz Blade, +5 Dagger, +18dam 2/day also his only Artifact: the Head of Shanara, a shruken head kept on his belt, has a Confusion Effect, is slightly animate. Ring of Regeneration, Gauntlets of Ogre Strength, Cloak of Protection +4 Notes: Immune to Beholder Eyestalk Rays, Lost 1 HP permenantly, -1 str/+1 chr Watcher Colossi, +1 HP Honoring Jamadarru As a 36th level mage fortunes have shifted considerably during his time.
