My character is from J.R.R Tolkien

Gollum/Smeagol

Str 16 (for throttling)
Dex 18 (sneaky)
Agi 18 (sneaky)
Int 16 (cunning/sly)
Wis 10 (Talks to himself?)
Cha 5 (Icky)

 

I wonder if you have heard of a book titeld Elvenbane.

Main charictor Shana

Half-elven sorcerer level 20

Str 12 (nothing major)
Dex 14 (was fairly shure footed)
Con 17 (survived a sandstorm
Int 14 (guess but liked to read)
Wis 15 (never seemed to do the amasingly unwise thing but made some big oopses.)
chr 18 (definatly had a way with words and was persasive)

 

Umm, Sander, you forgot Constitution and instead replaced it with another form of dexterity. Just FYI.

 

I agree that I rated Aragorn's CHA too low, I just remembered him to be gruff and matter-of-fact about things; but he did command a lot of attention with Anduril.

I'd like to redo Saruman, because I don't entirely agree with old Ironbeard.

I had the wisdom low because, as Gandalf says, Saruman has "fallen from the path of wisdom". I think his wisdom started out high, but gradually decreased as he became obsessed with the ring, until he eventually reached the point where Sauron was controlling him through the Palantir and he deluded himself into thinking he could serve Sauron and then defeat him and claim the world for himself. For the Charisma, notice the difference between his natural charisma and "enhanced" charisma in the chapter "the Voice of Saruman", whihc is why I made him an enchanter with low charisma.

It's tough to give him stats (these look high but I'm trying to be accurate) since he is "good at everything"; leading, sculpting, fighting, and loving Kahlan!

I made him a low level Ranger because if you remember the first book, he was very freaked out when facing the Quad. He DC'ed to Sorcerer faily early in his carrer. However, as a "War Wizard" he must recieve bonuses to his THACO.

 

Grey I'd differ in opinion with you about Saruman. STR 15 and DEX 14 seem a little high. He was an old man, wizard or no. I'd say STR 11 and DEX 12 might be more in line. But I would give him a higher CHR maybe 15 or 16. He did charm the Riders of the Mark. Maybe you could put that down as a mass charm spell or the like but CHR did play a role.

 

I thought Worm-Tounge Charmed the Riders of the Mark?

 

Okay, okay, I was just stabbing in the dark with those things. I only took into consideration that the palantir was rather heavy, and if Wormtongue's scrawny little ass could hurl it from the tower, than Saruman wouldn't have too much trouble moving it about. I have nothing to go by for dexterity, but I know that as one of the Istari, age doesn't wear on the bones so heavily. They are immortal, right?

Gotdammit, it's time to stop putting off reading those books.
