As to how the Myth adventures cast may be statted out:Skeeve, N (maybe NG or CG) male human rogue/sorcererAahz, N male Pervect fighter/sorcererQuigley, LN male human fighter; Buttercup, his unicorn mount, would more or less more horse-like rather than the uber-mystical-fey-like nature beast that it is in D&D (though the whole virgin thing still applies)Tananda, N female trollop rogue/fighter/sorcererChumley, NG male troll fighterGleep would be a rather young fire-breathing dragon, though not fitting the typical look/temperment/stat setup of a Red dragon.  At least N, if not Good-alignedGen. Hugh Badd Axe, LN male human fighterMaasha, NG female human expert; has LOTS of magical itemsFrumple, CN male Deveel expert (most Deveels would be Lawful, though Frumple is an exception; he was kicked out of the Bazaar for his behavior)Arcane spellcasters pretty much fit into the sorcerer mold, D&D-wise (unless Complete Arcane provides something similar to a sorcerer, but not Cha-based).  UA's generic classes would work better w/ these characters, though, IMHO.  Heck, even the Psionics rules may work well for Myth Adventures-style magik.In any event, if you're going to go the Myth Adventures route, remember to have pun with it (yes, I said pun--I mean fun as well, but pun is just as important).  Look at the setting: Pervects/Perverts, the Fairy Godfather, Gnomes of Zoorik, the sports-crazy dimension of Jahk, Trolls & Trollops, Deveels as ruthless merchants, the normal human Klahds, etc.With that in mind, keep up the puns.  Have the elves be magical cookie & toy manufacturers.  Have dwarves with adjectives/adverbs for names.  Have goblins came from the dimension of Gobble.Heck, if you wanted (& are familiar with it), cross this over with the Zork world--it's just as humor-based as Myth Adventures, though it's magic-users are more in tune with 3.X wizards and mages/magic-users from previous editions (spellbooks, fire & forget magic, specific spells for specific tasks, & all).</blockquote>
