I heartily endorse Gothic Rose's Gronk. 

We all need a little shiny in our lives.  GRONK!

 

I find that there is a startling number of not-stupid NPCs in the game. To my knowledge, no NPC has an int lower than 10. It's silly.

Hence Gronk. Gronk makes up for that. In spades. Here are Gronks own words about it:

Gronk Lonely. Gronk not know what small peoples say. Make Gronk Mad. Gronk Smash.

Gronk sad. Smash frends. No Frends. Gronk like smashy. Not frend smashy. Bad. Bad Gronk.

... and one more Gronk on top of that! Gronk!

Would anyone adopt Grozhar?

(he is in this topic a couple of pages back)

[OrangeSpider]

Ooh.  I really like the above mentioned idea of Jesaih.  Wonder if anything ever came of it.  The basic idea reminds me a little of the Phantom of the Opera story, especially a book I once read called "Phantom" that was more of a backstory than the classic drama.  Beautiful story, and one I'd be happy to help with if anyone *is* working on it.

Once I get done voicing done for Phenelope, anyway. *ducks and runs from Sleeta*

Xadrana really shouldn't be perusing forums at work.

 

Cribba is working on it I think. I just haven't heard from him for a long time though, but I've sent him some outline for Jessiah.....

If you want to help, that would be great!!! Just tell Cribba that, since all the computer stuff is way beyond me.

Perhaps as non-joinable NPC, as I going to add the Zhents into BG2. I know you asked before, but I am not sure.

*self-promotion* Ariena has speach impedement, comes from the north, hates weakling, no empty threats and NE alignment. Thus sort of combo of Grozhar and Gronk. However, that is I reckon not good enough (yep realist ). However she remains the first Half-Orc NPC to come out I believe *end self-promotion*

A non-joinable NPC? Not quite what I had in mind.

:^^: On the other hand, Solaufein started as a non-joinable NPC.

Mail me on what exactly you are going to use him for and if I like it, He is yours. :thumb:

[notsomighty]

Aren't there anyone out there whos interested in doing Saemon Havarian joinable.....?



I checked up his stats:

str: 16
con: 18
dex: 16
int: 9
wis: 9
cha: 13


He is a t/n male human fighter/mage.

Personly I think he would be a interesting character to have in the party...

There's always Ctrl-Q.

Why would Havarian join your party?

[notsomighty]

hmmm... I dunno...
What if Saemon gets to Sahuagin City with you... and then he have no choice other than ask you if he can join your team. And when you get to Underdark I'm sure saemon won't be fond of walkin alone there...

[Archmage Silver]

But I don't think that Saemon wants to face Irenicus or Boddhi again... 'twould be a very short term alliance anyway... Saemon would probably try to sell the party to the drow or betray for the duergar. And if they all made it to the surface, the elven diviners would see that Saemon was in alliance with their hated exile enemy.

[notsomighty]

Well... Saemon maby has something he needs to be done and he gets that you are very powerful and he sort of wants your hel, or he just feels the life of adventuring is kinda fun...
His whole crew probably drowned when you got abducted by the sahuagins and he probably won't make it alone...
And what if Irenicus put some nasty spell on him and the only way get rid of it is to kill I-cus...
There's always an explanition you can make...
But don't you think a npc mod with Saemon sounds tempting?!

btw xcuse the english..

[AstraKiseki]

Name: Parn Celoair
Race: Human (formerly a half-elf)
Class: Dual class: necromancer/thief
Alignment: Either NG or N
Other info:
Parn is a character from a story I'm writing. In the story, he is still very young (barely able to walk and talk) and only involved as the youngest brother of the main character, Kirilara; the PC meets him when he is older, and changed. His background (that he will tell an unromanced PC) is this:

He is the youngest child in a family of mountain-dwelling necromancers, although following that craft is not expected of anyone. It is simply a part of the blood. He *did* dabble in necromancy, but after a time, he found himself more interested in other secrets. He discovered more of a gift for picking locks and sneaking about, and ran away from home after a dangerous accident that left him changed and feeling unworthy of his family name. He obviously seeks something, but he won't tell what.

I'll add stats later. ;p

[Lord-Jyssev]

how is he formerly half elf, he only ran away did he cast a spell or somthin and it went horably wrong?

[AstraKiseki]

Well, that 'accident' that made him run away (and join a thieves' guild) removed all of his elven blood. It wasn't his fault, he just fell into the wrong hands.

He fudges on some of his background, because he is still ashamed about it. The story is this:

His family come from a long line of elven necromancers, but there are exceptions, like his older sisters and his brother. Their father is an elf, but their mother is a 'soulbound' human (the children STILL don't know, it's a run-on joke). Soulbound means soulmates that live as long as the longest lived of the couple, and age as such. Parn is the youngest child, and after Kirilara restored the family to honor, he went with her to train more fully as a necromancer. He liked necromancy, and often assisted others in understanding the art for what it is, a tool.

He overhears a plot at school to harm his big sister, and uses himself as bait to capture them. Half of the plotters were caught, the others got off with the half-elf mage. They attempted to 'purify' him into pure magic, but instead botched it, leaving them with a not-so-novice human necromancer without any reservations towards murdering those who caused him so much pain. After the haze of rage passed, Parn was so horrified by his power and ashamed of his actions that he turned away, and joined a thieves' guild. He noticed that he was more impatient, and other qualities that a human has. Believing (falsely) that it was a sign that he was no longer a member of his house, he found a way from his homeworld, and lands himself in Toril, and gets himself involved with the Shadow Thieves. And that is where you can meet him.

Physically and emotionally speaking, Parn is 16 years old. Timewise, he is actually 60 years old.

[Tyrmer]

Here's one of the many NPCs I thought of when I was younger

Name: Tyrmer (I know, when I was younger I used the same name all the time, I'm sure that other people are guilty of exactly the same thing)

Race: Troll

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral or True Neutral

Class: Mage

Likely Stats (Before Change):

Str 19
Dex 12
Con 18
Int 18
Wis 13
Cha 7

Likely Stats (After Change):

Str 14
Dex 16
Con 15
Int 18
Wis 13
Cha 13

Location: Outside Troll Mound or possibly in the Windspeare Hills researching the tomb of King Strohm or anywhere else with magical stuff. With ToB installed he could be trying to access Watcher's Keep to get at some nice treasures.

Other info: Tyrmer is a strange troll, vastly more intelligent than other trolls, he seeks to accumalate as much magical knowledge as possible, he is facinated by magic and magical items and talks a lot to Edwin, Imoen and Jan about their favourite spells and magic items. He probably argues with Valygar because he is a typical "foul creature" and a magic user and thus not on good terms with Valygar. He is reclusive and unpredictable, he generally doesn't talk much to non-mages and its a 50 - 50 chance that he'll either shred or simply not notice people who insult or pester him. He would have quest's to do with the Cowled Wizards, the troll mound (you could possible get past this without fighting with Tyrmer in the party) and probably something along the lines of what happens to Viconia (random religious fanatics). He'd probably try to get the Nether Scroll off Edwin (even after it back fires) just to accumalate more knowledge. I had planned for the Nether Scroll to change him into a more acceptable form (probably human). This would drop his strength and constitution and possible raise his dexterity and charisma and then he could possibly have a romance option for female mages (or just high intelligence characters) after the transformation (which wouldn't bother him as much as Edwin's bothers Edwin).

Hope this wasn't too long a character.
