It's Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter, as he was depicted in the famous novels... taking into consideration the events of the latest: "Hannibal Rising". This is Hannibal in his prime, around 35 years old and at his nastiest. According to a D&D Pencil and Paper game discussion, about Hannibal... "Hannibal Lecter, is intimidation incarnate... (and applied psychology, in general). In D&D terms, I'd expect him to have a mean charisma and max ranks in intimidate, possibly with some synergy... and a skill focus. Any strength he might possess (I recall him as, of course, being stronger than
Clarice... but not all that bulky) is enhancing this at best. He has uncanny perception, inhuman hearing, and more commonly noticed, an animalistic sense of smell. He is also a fairly capable swordsman." Pretty fair estimate, hmmm?
Hannibal's Appearance (compare to the screen shot, it's pretty much spot-on):
The novels have him with black hair and a widow's peak, almost like the classic interpretation of Dracula... as opposed to Anthony Hopkins' portrayal... so, I kept with the novels' interpretation as they were, of course, the original and also best source for info on Hannibal!
His soundset is... what else? The Nwn sociopath one; it sounds just like him.
Hannibal's Levels and various skills:
First of all, he is Lawful Evil, since he enjoys art and society, and performs his infamous deeds from within society, more in control of situations than not.
I made him to level 40, since he's had years to hone all his murderous skills,
and I've divided his levels between two classes: Rogue (lvl 28) to reflect his criminal history, and Assassin (lvl 12) because this guy enjoys his killing. I gave him high points in healing, since he was described as a medical genius, and I gave him even higher points in any and all skills which would involve manipulating people (like intimidation, persuade, etc.). Vital skills such as spot, listen, and search, I gave high points to as well. Most of the *major* skill points of interest are in the 30s or 40s. He's not the type to just pick pockets, open locks, or disarm things, but he can set some deadly traps, go about almost unseen, and deal bloody death. I did not use Leto at all, since I wanted to make his level progression realistic instead of forced... so I've used a level-up module instead. Since I did it this way, the character will be fully legal in-game and also not *too* over-the-top. Here, are his statistics (I couldn't raise them further without Leto, so they are more than fair)...
Hannibal's Stats (without their being modified by his items):
Str: 15 / Dex: 16 / Con: 14 / Int: 15 / Wis: 9 / Cha: 16 / HP: 289
Hannibal's Items:
With all his items equipped, his Str becomes 18... and his Wis becomes 12.
The items he comes with are all mostly custom, including blood he can drink
to heal himself like a healing potion, and flesh he can eat that causes him to regenerate (closest thing to making a Nwn human cannibal totally "realistic" that I could think of without using any scripting). For armor it was difficult, since Nwn isn't modern so I've made a fancy dress suit for him, that looked *modern enough* without it being out of place too much in Nwn; I also made him a "Prison Uniform" in case you want him to be from around the time he escaped his incarceration. The suit is +3, the equivalent to a regular suit of the +3 leather armor, and the Prison getup is just clothes. His weapons rangle from a surgical scapel (Dagger +1, Keen), to the grisly tools of his vengeance as shown in "Hannibal Rising" (assorted wicked +3 stuff). Besides all of that, I gave him a ring that boosts his base strength and a belt that does the same for his wisdom. Those are not anyhing ever mentioned in the novels or films
but I tied them into the storyline in various ways (examine them if you are curious). Several other items (even a cookbook) are also included with him.(Just for fun I've made the ring so it enables Blood Frenzy but once per day!)
That pretty much wraps up my very first Character submission for the Nwn Vault.
Hannibal Lecter: He may not be entirely super-uber... but he sure is a killer!
Probably the best way to use this guy is to drop him into some quaint city with lots of history and lots of fine old sites to see, have him visit the finest taverns, order the most pricy wine, then go look for lots of people or monsters to bloody his blade with. Lol. On a more serious note, though, imagine how creepy it would be to be actually roleplaying this fellow in a multiplayer roleplaying scenario? It would *definately* freak out some (if not all) of the newbies. Lol. Anyhow, I'm off to come up with more demented creations... see everybody soon! ;)
