[QUOTE="Whimsical, post: 2069921, member: 3976"] I think that this would make a great one-shot. Such as for a gaming convention or just to have your gaming group take a break for a session or two. Pregen all of the characters, hand them out, then run them through a few scenarios derived from the cartoon episodes. Just make sure that you communicate to your players that this is just a light-hearted and fun homage to your common nostalgic memories of the cartoon. I've contemplated running an epic level version of the D&D cartoon party for a gaming convention, imagining that they found a way home after all that they have gone through, went through college, entered challenging risky occupations, such as spying or special forces (since they are all essentially combat veterans) then came back to the D&D plane to bring some serious hurt to the forces of evil. Uni would be a full unicorn with many cleric levels (none of the cartoon characters were allowed to use magical healing, or even allowed to use magic reliably; didn't want to upset the bible belt) Bobby's club would grow him to Colossal-size when he started to wield it, treating Large and Huge threats like golfballs. Something like Sauron at the beginning of the Lord of the Rings movie, but bigger. Shiela's cloak could teleport herself and anyone else around her (as it magically grew and wrapped around those around her instantly at will. Eric would actually have a cool flying mount (possibly dragon or just a buffed pegasus) and a new thunderlance. Remeber Neo vs. the agent Smiths in the second Matrix movie? That would be Diana. She would also be able to dodge a colossal giant's attack while jumping onto the club, run up his arm and start attacking his head while always perfectly balancing on its head and shoulders. Presto would actually cast spells as a full level wizard without needing the hat. But he could use the hat to conjure items reliably. I imagine that while he's focusing on a section of the battleground, a red dragon is flying low charging him from behind. the instant that he's about to rip into presto, he summons a massive wall of iron directly behind himself without even looking which causes the dragon to smash himself into it at full velocity. Presto doesn't even look fazed. It would be tough to improve on Hank's Bow of Infinite Wishes, but I would think of something. Hey, I like thinking [i]epic![/i] :) [/QUOTE]
