I recently learned of the Order of the Stick strip through this forum and loved it. Now I have this obsession to have a run through the game as Belkar the Chaotic Evil ranger. He will be a halfling ranger, dual wileding daggers. Any suggestions on stats?

Anyway my suggestion:
Str: 13
Dex: 18
Con: 14
Int: 16
Wis: 10
Cha: 12

And I've been lost in there for an hour, giggling like a schoolgirl. Again.
On that note, who's the one who changed the BG page's quote to Alaundo's Prophecy instead of the PC's long-winded and snappy response to Portalbendarwinden?
Check the order of the stick website for mor information about his stats. His wisdom is under 10, thats for sure (i think 7 or 8)
Probably an 8 wisdom since owls wisdom would bump it up to 12 temporarily and allow him to cast spells from scrolls.
His int would also be low, think of Belkar as min maxed to the extreme on a point buy system so 16str 20dex 16con 8int 8wis 8cha plus a point in the attribute of choice at every 4th level.
I am not very familiar with his level increases, but I do believe he has mostly a mix of fighter and barbarian, perhaps someone else follows the strip more closely and can answer?
So, Belkar will be a ranger to get the dual wielding pips just like the original. Then he will almost immediately dual into a barbarian through EEkeeper. He will most likely lose his ranger abilities on account of a bunch of murd-... Erm, unavoidable confrontations with unfortunate results.
As for stats I will max his physical stats at 17, 19 and 18. His INT score will be 9, the guy has some basic cunning after all. Wisdom and Charisma will be both 7.
And his racial enemy will be kobolds. Let's see if he can actually survive being low level with his temper.
@onan oh no, I'd say his charisma is pretty damn high. Not only he has absolutely no problems with bedding a random chick he was trying to kill seconds before, she actually stays with him until he leaves her, despite the fact that he has horrible bedside manners, and wouldn't even bring her a sandwich.
Not to mention all the times when Roy really should have cut of his head and be done with it, and yet Belkar continues living AND traveling with the good-aligned party, half of which is lawful.
You have to have charisma leaking out your ears to pull shit like that.
Dex: 18
Con: 16
Int: 10
Wis: 7 or 8
Cha: 13
Personally. They never make a thing of his strength, yet he obviously is a very visceral combatant that does a lot of damage. Equally, he IS a halfling, so it wouldn't be too high. His dex is standard. His intelligence isn't very great - he works off Belkar-logic and is easily outsmarted or slow to catch on to things, yet he certainly doesn't seem as dumb as Elan. Wisdom is bad. Charisma gets him out of the odd situation, but isn't stellar. Haley, Roy and Elan handle all the primary interactions, to my memory.
@Raistlin82 already did it as a Black Pits run. Here's a link to his thread, complete with an OotS portrait pack!

Here are some suggested stats from the website:

If it's possible through Keeper, Belkar needs a cat familiar with him to represent Mr. Scruffy.
Come on, he laid that bard chick quite easily: http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0622.html
Yes but some people are just not picky like that.
There's only so much adaptation you can do to fit the OotS into BG. I thought my attempt was going pretty well, but when Roy died, I would have had to do a straight up reload and re-do the dungeon, or else do some "creative storytelling" that would really beg suspension of disbelief.
It had been going well, but I got overconfident, and the death just kind of took my heart out of the project. It was time to move on to the next thing.
