Legolas in D&D (using the Elements of Magic!)

What types of spell lists do you think he'd have?

Well since he never actually seems to use any spells in FotR that
is pretty open. Although as a 5th level tEoM Paladin he would only have a caster level of 1/2 so he doesn't have much to go on anyhow.

I would say he has Infuse Object with [Element] and uses it to infuse his Arrows and/or his Bow with Air . This seems like a very subtle, non-flashy way, to boost their power and he and most of the elves do seem to have an 'Airy' quality.

Not too sure about his other spell list choice yet.

Victim:
Paladins get Magical Boon (major) at 5th level.

I'd make this longer but I have to go to work!:mad:
later!

I think all this needs is a race:

TOLKIEN ELF:

Racial Bonus: +1000 Cha, +30 Dex
Racial Ability:
*Badass Elf: I'm an elf, and I can do anything that's cool and suave and stylish automatically, without a roll. This includes, but is not limited to: being badass with an bow and arrow. Being badass with a sword. Being badass when dwarves are near. Being badass by walking on top of the ground. Being badass by jumping around. I can make women swoon, though guys think I'm a wussy. that's alright, they think that about all beautiful men -- I know it's jealusy.

Rotfl!!! I just watched the Extended LotR last night and this is dead on. (But DANG it's cool to watch!!)
 

Is elements of magic coming out as a actual book... i never use my PDFs despite the fact that there is really good stuff in them...
 

Maybe you missed a feat

While in the battle in Moria (Sp) Legolas pulls two daggers as a free action and kills a goblinoid in front of him. I believe that is Quick Draw, a most under used but needed feat for archers. I have gone over that battle in slow motion and I can guarantee that he would have that feat.
 

legolas stat block

Legolas stat block w/32 point build
Str 14
Dex 18
Con 10
Int 10
Wis 10
Cha 16

@4th level add +1 to Cha
@8th level add +1 to Cha = 18 Charisma

OK I could see him as being a bit smarter and having a slightly higher Wisdom and Constitution but that would push him out of the realm of PC points building...so hopefully this seems like a reasonable way to go.
Regarding his spells, could he use the Create [Element] Object list to make arrows? Maybe create Wood and then he just carries around extra arrow heads and fletching-
-------
Regarding Figthing with Two Weapons, you don't Have to have Two weapon style Feat and/or Ambidexterity to actually fight using two weapons. You just face some stiff penalties.
Characters in the film so far I have noticed using two weapons have been all of the experienced characters save Boromir, and they do seem pretty good at it, although they mostly fight orcs and goblins so their target ACs are pretty low so far ;).
--------
Legolas could be a Fighter 1/(tEoM)Paladin 5
Feats could go this way then:
1st-Ambidexterity; 1st-Two Weapon Style; 3rd- Point Blank Shot; 3rd(pal2 bonus) Quickdraw; 6th(pal5) Rapid Shot.
(His following feats would be Precise shot; Far shot?; Weapon Focus comp.Longbow; Weapon Focus Dagger;
Weapon Finesse Dagger.)
He also has pumped up his Spot skill!


Boromir must have at least Cleave (and therefore Power Attack), and probably Great Cleave, as evidenced by his extended fight scene with the Uruk-hai mob.
He also uses a Bastard Sword one handed with his shield most of the time.
Now he wears some pretty fancy cloathes and is kinda 'snooty' so considerring that, with the fact that he is the "'Steward Prince' of Gondor" I'd say he starts at first level as an Aristocrat and then progresses as a Fighter from that point on.
So he would most likely be 6th level (aris 1 / Fighter 5) with
Exotic wpn prof Bastard Sword @level 1; Power Attack@level 2(fighter1); Cleave@level 3(ftr2); Weapon Focus Bastard Sword @level 3 (fghtr2); Weapon Specialization Bastard Sword@level 5(ftr4); level 6 would give him Great Cleave.

Aragorn has to be a Ranger of some sort since he is famous/infamous for being one. Now he is seen in the movie using two weapons also, but I feel that the tEoM Ranger fits him better than the Core class does.
It is hard to pin down his main sword in Fellowship but I would have to say it is a longsword, he has a dagger and what would arguable be a short sword(?) that he gets from the elves. Also seems to use a standard shortbow.
He may or may not have Cleave; he can be flanked and seems to take that into consideration durring his battle with the Uruk-hai, at first.
Favored Prey- most likely Orcs! Although he does seem to have a great amount of skill with the Undead as well (picked that up at 3rd level.) His level is hard to pin down but he obviously has a small amount of healing maybe from the Fast Healing list, or possibly Infuse Object with Life-this would work if he infused his torch durring the battle on Weathertop to help him fight off the Nazgul.
His Feats are Tracking -(Bonus feat@lvl1);
iAmbidexterity @lvl1; two weapon style @lvl1;
Weapon Focus, longsword @lvl3; Iron Will lvl4(bonus feat); Cleave(?)@lvl6.

Gimli is your quintesential Dwarf Fighter. Dwarf axe; hand axe; battle axe; bad-ax-mutha-watch-yo mouth!
(heh heh- sorry..couldn't resist)
He actually does use two axes for a while in Moria as well. He is known to carry a pair(?) of throwing axes, has a 'walking axe' that looks exactly like a 'Hafted Axe'* from 'the Wheel of Time d20 book' *(Same profile as a great axe) but he uses it one handed later so that is probably a Dwarven Waraxe; And I Think he picks up his double bladed axe in Balin's Tomb?
Must be a magical two-headed Waraxe!
He could have any feats from the look of it but seems likely he would have: Ambidexterity & Two Weapon style,
Run (he keeps up pretty well, despite a lower Move rate),
Exotic Weapon prof Dwarven Waraxe, Weapon Focus Waraxe, Weapon Secialization Waraxe.
That puts him at 6th level.

Gandalf fights with his sword and staff, he also cuts loose with an attack durring the battle of Moria that looks a lot like a Whirlwind Attack to me! (Watch the scene in Balin's tomb if you don't know what I am talking about.)
Gandalf would obviously be a Mage or one of the Mage classes of some sort. I suppose Grey would be appropriate since he is Gandalf the Grey.
Of course he is high level NPC because he can take a balrog in hard pressed combat, so...
