[QUOTE="DM-Rocco, post: 2353672, member: 14451"] For those of you who have played the orininal, and in some ways the best, AD&D game, what where/are some of your favorite characters. Here are a few of mine, not complete with details, but a few details... Calamar the Dark, Drow Elf, 23rd level Druid (Hierophant of the Cabal)/29th level wizard (Arch-Mage) The DM thought that racial limits sucked and made no sense but wanted to respect the rules, so after questing for the Gods, they allowed him to break the 18th level limit for Wizards in the Original Unearth Arcana. As a high level character he has many resources at his disposal but he loves his glowing ruby staff of Asmodeus the most. Over the course of many years he has lost it to the Arch-Devil only to gain it again at a later date. It is almost a game to get it back, currently he has it :) Kronn the human 16th level barbarian. He rolled an 18/98 for his strength and a 17 on his CON, good rolls and then one day he drank two potions at once, a regenerating potion and a potion of heroism. Back in the AD&D game, if you drank more than one potion, you had to roll on a chart to see what happened. He didn't get the 00 for his STR roll, but he did for the drinking of two potions, which meant that one of them became a permenet effect, we rolled randomly, he ended up with 5 regen per round, vice nice. He also had a two handed axe that was curse, drove him insane, very fun to play, for me anyway. Grogg, son of Grogg, 21st level half-Ogre. Half-ogre first appeared in an old dragon magazine and Grogg had a -4 CHR back in the day when a negative number meant you scared the hell out of people and didn't die. Just an all around fun character to play cause you could clear a small village just by staring at them. Robillard, Human, 15th level assassin (Grandfather Assassin)/ 22nd level Thief (Master Thief), hey, who doesn't love a good thief? Corrzzell, human, 7th level Fighter/8th level Thief/ 22nd level bard - this guy was a pure tank, nothing he couldn't do, except gain the last bard level, the campiagn folded before we could max him out. :( Veenotheb, human, 31st master illusionist, a great trickster. What are some of your favorites? [/QUOTE]
