Finally got me a 2e game No half measures here playing in Don's 'a Paladin in Hell' adventure on Friday. I have the 2e PHB but am unfamiliar with it so will use this space to play with ideas. The numbers rolled were 7. 9. 11. 17. 13. 16. Experience points available = 'around two and a quarter million!'

Idea 1) Lord Angus McDeath Human Fighter. Level 17. Aged 45. Height 5'9" Weight 180lbs. S: 16 IQ: 9 W: 11 D: 13 Co: 17 Ch: 7 Alignment: Lawful Good or Lawful Neutral HP: 8d10+61 Weapon Specialization: Long Sword. Gives 5 attacks/2 rounds at +1/+2 Thaco base: 4 Saving throws P,P&DM = 3 R,S or W = 5 P or Ply = 4 BW = 4 Spells = 6 Background. Lord Angus is a single minded crusader against Evul. He doesn't have the mental facility to do this gently but has a brutal efficiency. The ends always justify the means. He is brutish and bigoted hence his low charisma but he is ruthless and gets the job done. You would really like the guy on your side even if you probably wouldn't want him to meet your Mother.

(Encumbrance approx 45lbs + the Bag of Holding. Move 12") Image Lord Angus wears a Scarab of Protection around his neck along with an enchanted Mithril chain which is a Necklace of Adaptation. His armour is simple in design, serviceable and strong. Made of meteoric iron and enchanted to the highest degree. Plate & Mail +5 of Etherialness Upon his head rests a helmet of similar design. Until the command word 'Illuminati' is uttered. It will then reveal itself as a Helm of Brilliance. Image His shield is also highly magical boasting a bonus of +3 and bearing his family crest. Image Beneath his armour he is girt with a girdle of twisted Giant beards which bless him with a strength of 19. Around his waist is a stout leather belt from which hangs the scabbard of his mighty sword 'Vengence' a +5 longsword forged to kill not for show a purse holding 20PP and a dozen 100GP pearls also a simple leather pouch, actually a Bag of Holding where he stores many enchanted and mundane items alike. The carfully wrapped contents are: A Daern's Iron Fortress A rose wood box lined in red silk inside which lays a Carbuncle of unusual size. A Gem of Seeing. A simple gold ring (Ring of Three Wishes), kept in a miniature chest of Adamantite. 2 Arrows of Slaying tbc, these are wrapped in folds of fine silk. One red, one black. 1Potion of Extra Healing 1 Potion of Longevity A suit of Field Plate Armour A Shield A Silvered long sword A Silvered horseman's mace A Composite Long Bow, made of Dragonbone to handle his prodigious strength A quiver of 24 Silver Arrows A quiver of 24 Arrows A dozen heavy throwing Darts 50' rope X 2 3 weeks iron rations A bundle of a dozen torches Two tinder boxes A plain wooden box containing two dozen fine wax candles A Hooded Lantern 3 flasks of oil sealed with wax A hammer and six iron spikes A Decanter of Endless Water A polished piece of ebony a magical Figurine of Wonderius Power.

Around his upper left arm is a torc of electrum formed in the likeness of a Dragon in its jaws it holds a single piece of rough Agate. This is a Luckstone.
Lord Angus is a single minded crusader against Evul. He doesn't have the mental facility to do this gently but has a brutal efficiency. The ends always justify the means. He is brutish and bigoted hence his low charisma but he is ruthless and gets the job done. You would really like the guy on your side even if you probably wouldn't want him to meet your Mother. He has been known to champion the cause of several Lawful Good deities, institutions and realms. He has a small stronghold high in the mountains. A place of surprising beauty and elegance. Almost a mirror to his own vulgar self.
* +9 to hit, + 14 to damage total with Long Sword

Phew! There's a lot of work goes into these 2e character but finally got him finished. Trouble is he's likely to last 2 minutes in Don's game so it may be back to the drawing board again tomorrow. Got some nice images for the character of the interwebs though
