April 21, 200520 yr I am going to be having what I consider a very interesting 'contest' per se over at NWN 2 News. But to get the ball rolling I need some feedback. I would like all those who read this to post their top 5 favorite major NPCs of the following classic D&D settings: Greyhawk Dragon Lance Forgotton Realms Ravenloft After I get several posts to put a list or more or less agreed upon most liked NPCs for each setting I will explain more. Thanks for your input!

April 21, 200520 yr Can it be book characters (Dragonlance)? If so, then great, because that's pretty much all I know about people in Dragonlance... (Not in order of how much I like them) 1. Drizzt Do'Urden 2. Artemis Entreri 3. Tasslehoff Burfoot (?) 4. Aribeth de'Tylmerande (sp?) That's all I can think of that are actually available to be in a game... (except Tasslehoff, but who cares?). Only 1,2, and 4 were actually serious for consideration.

April 21, 200520 yr From the Books/ PnP Settings -> FR = Qilue Veladorn DL = Raistlin Majere (Pre Chronicles & Legends) GH = Cat Lord RL = Lord Soth From PC Games (excluding fan made NwN Mods) -> FR = Evil Aribeth from NwN: HotU (Viconia is close second) DL = NA (never played DL crpgs) GH = NA (are there any crpgs set in Grayhawk) RL = that wemic from stone prophet (can't remember his name) "If at first you don't succeed...

April 21, 200520 yr Author Can it be book characters (Dragonlance)? If so, then great, because that's pretty much all I know about people in Dragonlance... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sure.. any NPC from a book, module or sourcebook is fine. As long as they are at least a fairly major NPC in that game world.

April 21, 200520 yr Oh, if books are good, then I'd like Raistlan Majere and Tanis Half-Elven...

April 21, 200520 yr From Dragonlance I was a pretty big fan of Steel Brightblade, I liked the idea of a good person who knowingly followed the path of evil because he figured people would be better off in the end. As for FR, the NPCs I've encountered I haven't really liked. Except maybe Harkle Harpell(sp?) My old DM made up a character that was pretty darn cool. Named Jandor, forget the last name. Anyway, what happened was he rolled insane stats for him, 3 or 4 17s I think, and just came up with a back story that fit. He is now I believe a level 10 thief, level 6 mage, he's a member of the Greyclaws I believe, and pretty much hires himself out as a spy and whatnot. Collects magical items no matter how mundane because when he retires from being a rogue he wants to open a store that sells them. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
April 21, 200520 yr Geez, sometimes you guys scare me with your nerdiness! Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
April 22, 200520 yr Edwin sucked. Edwina was kinda cool though. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Edwin was the funniest NPC in both BGs Edwin: Well, it would seem the leader of our little group has impregnated the impressionable circus child. And here I thought she was merely getting chubby without the ring master's whip to keep her in shape. Edwina was nice too
April 22, 200520 yr Imoen Minsc Jaheria Yoshimo Saeravok Khalid <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you quit Khalid and put Viconia in the second place, you have my ranking :cool: Imoen, the best PRIUS FLAMMIS COMBUSTA QUAM ARMIS NUMANCIA VICTA
April 22, 200520 yr The only Dnd exposure i have are from the Bioware/Black Isle games: Imoen still favorite whether evil or good path since she never leaves the party unless dismissed Minsc for pure entertainment value (though it can get old after 3 runs through a game) Edwin (insane number of spells) and Viconia (her innate magic resistance) tied for pure usefulness
April 24, 200520 yr This is purely from a flavor standpoint: Games: Mazzy Jaheira Literature: Raistlin Tasselhoff Burrfoot Fizban (at least I think that's the name of the human incarnation of Paladin) all the above from Dragonlance
