(Humor thread) What characters have d20's with only 20s.

Well at one point he single-handedly killed 13 frost giants (wulfgar got 12).

Given that Frost giants have always been a fairly high level monster, and Drizzt barely seemed winded by it, I've always assumed he was at least level 20.

16 years ago in 1996 the Hero's Lorebook was released, Drizzt was included as a 16th level Ranger. In 2001 he was statted in the 3E Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, again as a 16th level character, Fighter 10/Barbarian 1/Ranger 5. I dont have any 4E products, but one could assume that he is a 16th level character in it as well. Realistically, if given XP for everything he's done, he should be around level 30.

Sure, but Frost Giants run (depending on the edition), but at least level 11, and I can imagine there was a chieftan or something, so.

I mean honestly he just has Mary Sue stats, about a chapter or two later he got knocked out by a kid (like, 16) with a sap from behind, so he could be captured and make a daring escape...

Why are those the iconic books of DnD in the 21st century again? Ed Greenwood has written some, if not Tolkien-level stuff, at least some fun and interesting fiction.

I get what you mean, but I meant in an overall status, like everything he has done since those publications. Namely The Hunters Blades Trilogy, The Transitions Trilogy, and the new Neverwinter Trilogy. Taking all of those into account, he should be around level 30.

Honestly, I am not a Drizzt fanboy, but I have at least enjoyed reading most those novels, they are pretty well steeped in FR lore and cover a broad, yet focused, scope. I haven't read the new trilogy, as I am far less interested in the Forgotten Realms since the Spellplague and the time jump (why AO..why?), so I have no idea what those entail.

I also find it humorous that you mention Greenwood here, while I love the man for creating and giving us the Forgotten Realms, many people don't like his novel writing style, and call Elminster a Mary Sue also.
