D&D 5E Request for Venger - 5e style

[Nebulous]

I know some folks around here are making great 5e stat blocks. I would love to see Venger from the D&D cartoon done up. I've never actually SEEN that, in any edition. It would be awesome!!! So if you have the time or inclination, I would love to see it (as i'm sure would many others).

And shadow demon can be his familiar / minion. I don't know if Venger had a lair or not, but I bet he'd have sweet lair actions.

 

[Umbran]

In the cartoon, do we actually ever see Venger *do* enough personally to give him stats? My (admittedly) vague memory is that he's more a motive presence for the plot than something the PCs interact with in any combat rules sense.

 

[Boarstorm]

Wasn't he given 3.X-era stats when they released the show on DVD?

Apparently that had him as a Male half-fiend human sorcerer 13/archmage 5, NE medium outside (native). CR 21.

That's a very helpful place to start. Thank you.

Probably not, but if we went by the cartoon, Tiamat would be an ineffectual boob as well

Might make more sense as a Warlock now. He did seem to spam a lot of Eldritch Bolt style attacks.

And that dude has GOT to have some friggin evil patron he pays homage to....

Yeah. There seemed to have been a fall from grace story there. Dungeon Master did refer to him as his son.

In fact, Tiamat was chasing him around the multiverse. Perhaps he had stolen part of her power or aligned with one of her enemies.

I did not know either of those things. Especially being a "son" of Dungeon Master. Wow, all kinds of ways you could use that stuff.

'It is said that he got his dark powers from The One Whose Name Cannot be Spoken, apparently a dark entity which was banished prior to the youngsters arrival.'

That sounds like a Warlock Patron to me.

Is Tiamat an ineffectual boob, or does she have inappropriate breasts? She *is* a dragon after all and there's a whole thread talking about that.

IF Tiamat had breasts, and that's an IF...they would probably shoot fire, acid, frost, poison and lightning. Which incidentally would make her much more effectual (and comical).

Yes, that's perfect.

There is a Last Episode script floating around that never got made where Venger gets 'saved' and reverts to his former good self.

The complete D&D animated series is still available on DVD -- all 27 episodes!

If you were a fan of the show, I do recommend it. It's a little cheesy at times, but oh man, the fond memories!

I don't know if they are still packaging it with the booklet, but mine has stats on all the main characters, including shadow demon. Find this version if you can!

 

[Grainger]

Venger, with his asymmetrical horn thing going on, reminds me strangely of Zagor, the Warlock of Firetop Mountain.
