So, I just have to know. Has Stan the Man made a cameo yet?

He has not, but I am going to be adding a sentient Iron Golem, minus the poison breath and sword attack, who has a kind demeanor and keeps trying to make sure the teenage NPC Sorcerers(mutants) in the city never forget that breakfast is the most important meal of the day

Low-hanging fruit, [MENTION=6784868]Erechel[/MENTION], but enjoyable nonetheless.

You may have missed Xath McCath's opening post instruction: "So character builds aimed at capturing the flavour of famous literary but not fantasy characters".

With that consideration, let's see what ya got.

Sorry , yes, I have missed the non fantasy. Although Conan and Eddard Stark are still low-fantasy enough to be appreciated?

In honor of that 52-pages-and-counting "Queer D&D" thread, here's a pair of low-fantasy lesbians.

(The Elemental Logic series is not as well known as Game of Thrones or Conan or the like, but I can't recommend it highly enough.)

Karis G'deon - Laurie J. Marks
Goliath, Nature Cleric, Artisan
Splash a few levels of barbarian, to taste, for that bull-headed earth logic and obscene physical endurance.
Feats: Durable, Tough
Weapon of Choice: Smithing Hammer

Zanja na'Tarwein - Laurie J. Marks
Human, Fighter, Outlander
Splash a few levels of rogue, to taste, for that nimble knife work and reflexive fire logic.
Feats: Defensive Duelist, Dual Wielder
Weapons of Choice: Matched knives, forged by Karis.

I wouldn't rule them out.

I just like the bigger challenge of the non-fantasy characters.

Doesn't mean I'm not considering the adaptation of Lord D'Arcy and his Irish Sorcerer associate, Sean (whatever the heck his last name was) created under the pen name of Randall Garrett.
