Old edition "signature characters"

[BOZ]

my link above has the 2E PHB iconics covered.

i think there was an elf in a Black Sabbath song called Sweetleaf. Ozzy really loved him for some reason.

I remember a dwarf called Elkhorn in one of the books or modules - it made me laugh because there's a town of Elkhorn, Wisconsin, not far from Lake Geneva, and I assumed the dwarf was named after the town.

I dunno, but I've been very tempted to either play a character named Blackleaf, or even include one in one of my published books.

I believe Silverleaf & Blackleaf were twins, a rarity among the elven people which makes Blackleaf's fate all the more tragic.

There's that one really great 1e dmg combat example with Blatum, Barjin, Gutboy Barrelhouse et al, but I can't recall all their names and I'm not sure where the ol' 1e dmg is these days.

From Planescape:

Tarsheva Longreach, more or less the iconic planeswalker. And Xanxost, the iconic Slaadi, if such a thing were possible. They both pop up repeatedly, though they don't feature as characters in any modules. Xanxost serves as an IC author in two sourcebooks, and Tarsheva serves as the same or a narrator in several places as well IIRC.

Look 4 posts up -- I already covered this.

One minor nitpick: it's Blastum, with an "s".
