Sorry if this breaks a rule I'm unaware of-if so, I'll delete it immediately. In this thread, we'll be discussing different characters from Baldurs's Gate and seeing how they measure up. I'll start things off:

Level Capped Kensai/Mage munchkin Bhaalspawn vs Elminster vs Raistlin. Combat.

The battle of the ridiculously overpowered mages begins!

    Raistlin isn't from the Forgotten Realms... ?

    Of the two that are actually from the Forgotten Realms, I would say (sadly) Elminster would win.

    Elminster by DM Fiat.

    Thalantyr versus Abazigail...
  • ForseForse Member Posts: 106
    By the rule of cool, Thalantyr should win! Grumpy, rude wizard who nonetheless is good. Iconic. Abazigal is just another half-were-mongrel-weasel-bhaalspawn-half dragon dude. :)
  • LemernisLemernis Member, Moderator Posts: 4,318
    Yeah, I'm thinking the Thalantyr should be able to take him down. I've never looked at the respective .cre files though.

    Elminster was Ed Greenwood's boy so of course he'd win. How about Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun? That dude is a pure pimp.

    Ideally the Bhaalspawn would win. Elminster himself mentions at some point that you have become his equal, and this makes sense considering the level/stats/nature of the PC (also, munchkin rules: always pick godhood at game ending). Reality-wise, anyone -but- the PC. Because their creators can simply point their fingers at you and use Power Word: Not Canon.
  • AnduineAnduine Member Posts: 416
    I am quite confident and happy to say that Elminster would likely win that fight, as he should.

    Squirrel Vs Chicken!

    the ultimate gladiatorial matchup, perhaps it was a dream..
    Sure you can charm these guys in the Umar hills, throw a few buffs at them and watch them duke it out!

    da da daa daa daa da da daa da da daa
    (for the tone deaf of you, that was the Startrek gladiatorial music.. 400 quatloons on the newcomer)

    There is nothing sad about an Elminster win :) Charname shouldn't have bitten off more than he/she could chew.

    Is this the poor man's version of the Black Pits? And charming other critters to do battle as well? Beware the local druids' wrath!

    Elminster is level 32 in 2nd edition D&D (29 casting levels) and is merely the champion of a goddess (of a portfolio which has changed hands 4 different times, once to an ordinary mortal). Raistlin Majere once killed an entire pantheon of gods in their own homeworld.

    Is it that badass, apparently immortal squirrel from Easthaven? If so, my money's on him.
  • MedullaOblongataMedullaOblongata Member Posts: 434
    Sarevok vs. Boo
  • ManveruManveru Member Posts: 75
    Raistlin would win, but he's not part of the Forgotten Realms. If only there was a good Dragonlance RPG...
  • TomeTome Member Posts: 466
    I totally knew Raistlin wasn't a Forgotten Realms character-just zoned out there for a second-probably because I was so impressed with my alliterative skills. (true story, I must have just been so happy with the name I devised that I sort of forgot about Raistlin)

    I'm surprised so many people favour Elminster in the fight. Surely the Bhaalspawns vastly superior level gives him some chance? If not, I'm taking revenge:

    Endgame Bhaalspawn (decided to be a God) vs Elminster :P

    Chosen of Mystra vs an Intermediate Diety-is that enough to turn the tables on Elminster?
  • SpuzzinSpuzzin Member Posts: 8
    Since we are talking about forgotten realms matchups how about Percival (Squirrel from Cleric Quintet) v Boo ?
  • LadyEibhilinRhettLadyEibhilinRhett Member Posts: 1,078
    How about Boo vs. everyone else in the Realms? At the same time?

    (Spoiler: Boo wins.)

  • bbearbbear Member Posts: 1,180
    Except Boo is friendly toward Minsc and they will share the spoil of victory.
  • salierisalieri Member Posts: 245
    Oh why does everybody think that Boo is so hilarious? WHY?

    Anyway, how about Szass Tam V Halaster?

    Thread Necromancy, go!

    Sarevok VS Drizzt Do'Urden, both as they were in BG 1. My money's on Drizzt, but I can see this one being very close.
  • ChowChow Member Posts: 1,192
    Drizzt would win. If my memory serves, Sarevok is level 13 at that point, a few levels under the dark elf. He'd still put up an impressive fight, though.

    Next up... Firkraag versus Dran Draggore! And if you don't know who Dran is, then shame on you.
  • TomeTome Member Posts: 466

    Firkraag, but only because BG>EotB. :P

    Xykon VS Kangaxx!

    I'd say Drizzt, for obvious reasons.


    Cattie-Brie vs Coran

    My money's on Cattie-Brie, but in ranged, I think Coran would put up a good fight.
  • GoodSteveGoodSteve Member Posts: 607
    Dran Draggore would lose... but only if Firkraag could sidestep fast enough.

    @Tome Do you mean Xykon from the order of the stick? He's not really FR but I'm sure Kangaxx would murder him in the face.

    Cattie-Brie vs. Coran would be close, they're both around the same level. I'd say Coran simply because WoTC stats out their characters very poorly.

    How about this one:
    Battle of the Zhents - Scyllua Darkhope vs. The Pereghost?

    How about Lolth vs. all the Bhaalspawn
  • tyl998tyl998 Member Posts: 144
    Lolth is in the game?
  • TomeTome Member Posts: 466
    edited December 2012
    CHARNAME uses mods. Game over, Lolth. :P

    Seriously, unless both Melissan and CHARNAME are at full power, the Bhaalspawn's don't stand a chance. With an ascended Charname, considering his/her feats as a mortal, I think he/her could just about take her (in 2e both were Intermediate, right?)
