Batman In Forgotten Realm-esque Setting

GandalfPortraitGuy

Batman is irrevocably sent to a Dungeons and Dragons version of Gotham City. All the events of his life has transpired as it did in DC, but it has been moved to a D&D version of the world. He has his old gadgets and knows how to work science, his martial arts, detective skills, etcetera, however. A Spawn of Bhaal (This isn't Faerun, but Bhaal still died here, still had a lot of Bhaalspawn), equal in power to the BhaalSpawn at the end of Baldur's Gate II, Shadows Of Amn, but with Neutral Evil alignment, has committed a string of heinous deeds across the world, and is now moving towards Gotham.

Can Batman stop him, and how?

So, would Batman be a neutral good ranger?

Now, that is an interesting question.

Magnus_Grelich

More accurately, a ranger/rogue.
There are some monk feats in his skillset as well.

Batman would have to have a class of his own. Crime-fighting-badass-billionaire-genius-and-whatever-else-you-can-think-of class. Dark Knight would be fine too though.;p

DM: Alright you've earned enough experience to reach level 5.
Player: I'll take a level in Batman to round out my Bard.

Let's trace his progress:

He was trained in martial arts , like a monk.
He disables devices and opens locks, like a thief
he's got several feats , like a fighter

So if he were a 15th level character (super hero level) , he'd be a lawful good monk 5/rogue 5/fighter 5 .

Magnus_Grelich

I would've said fighter, too, but since he's a great tracker, I decided he's be more accurately considered a ranger, since they are also good fighters.

Magnus_Grelich

Also, Monks are Lawful, but Batman himself seems more neutral-good, as he's prone to going where the police cannot.

Who would win a fight Batman or Chuck Norris?

Illustair

@smeagolheart that's as puzzling as "which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

DJKajuru

"Batman and Etrigan" is like a medieval version of Batman. Could be converted to D&D!

LadyRhian

Hmm... I'd peg Batmas as an Urban Ranger (they do exist, at least in 3e/3.5e). Otherwise, as a ShadowThief BountyHunter. After all, he goes after the other thieves. But a Shadow Thief because he really does stick to the Shadows. But he doesn't backstab- he uses a sap (Non-lethal weapon that does stun damage- you get knocked out instead of die when your HP goes to 0). And he's got Jan Jansen as his weaponeer.

Magnus_Grelich

In terms of skills, perhaps, but his alignment would be all wrong, wouldn't it?

kamuizin

He act like a Ranger, fight as a monk, behave like a swashbuckler (true class) and is skilled in blend in the dark and move silently as a thief.

Maybe that's a Batman class? After all existed more than one person with the title Batman !

Am I the only one who looks at Batman as a Stalker?
