After a lot of work I am at last finished with both of my Raistlin Majere characters from the Dragonlance Saga. This one is the powerful black robed Raist for all those ppl who said he should be more than lvl 20. Well here is your Master of Past and Present. Very powerful,lvl 40 Wizard, so you will need both expansions for this to work right. But the good thing is NO HAKS!!! And I used CODI's Character Creater to make him have matalic gold skin all over. He is equipped with all items that i think he is supposed to have. I hope you like it, let me know what you think. BLAZE 007
I just want to say I like your raistlin, I think lvl 40 isn't too bad, although I don't think it does him justice, he did defeat fistandantius,(probably spelled that wrong) the dark queen and palidine(in quick fashion if I remember correctly) and did become a god before he was shown what he ruled over and what became of him self by his brother.
Servant not to point out the obvious but your dark elf example is pointless. For a start it was a DARK ELF not a drow. Drow do not exist on Krynn period. Dark elves on Krynn are elves from a surface nation that have rebelled not underdark munchkin elves. Further we know who the dark elf he defeated was it was Dalamar his own apprentice. So yes Raistlin could defeat his own apprentice in a magical duel quite easily when both are at the same level (or close to). As for him defeating Takhisis part of you problem is thinking in 2nd or 3rd ed terms instead of 1st (where the books began). In 1st edition rules gods are difficult but beatable (incidentaly stats wise Krynn gods oustrip most of the others substantially back when they stated gods). As to Krynn being a "weak world setting" thats a matter of oppinion. Much like my own oppinion that Forgotten Realms is less a campaign setting then a dumping ground for ideas that don't fit anywhere else. Certainly Raistlin is a far more interesting character then the patron saint of munchkins Elminster.

The resembence to the Saga is so very poor.

The fact that ppl compare him to other wizards from other realms or existences is stupid, its all about the abilities and successes relative to what is available in the realm the person is in.
Yes raist may "SEEM" weaker than other mages or gods from other realities but on his reality things worked differently and within those rules/limits he defeated ALL the gods...
Stick Raistlin in the "realms" and with the available spells ect that ppl could use (before the fall of Netheril and the "mortal spell limitations" Mystra introduced because of karsus) and he would be at as powerful as karsus was pre-fall.
Raistlin Majere would have defeated not only the queen of darkness but ALL the pantheon of gods for krynn.
He was not prevented doing so by a more powerful god or wizard he only stopped himself because his brother showed him the future (a future that no life apart from him existed because of the battles he fought).
He was as far as i can see by far the most powerful wizard to have existed because of these facts.
Imagine a fight between Raistlin and Belgarath who can make the sun rise as an effort of will, who can actually do anything he wants except will that something never existed. But that is the Belgariad. Imagine a fight between Kimmuriel, who is a psionicist of a minor epic level but can stop mages form casting spells by disrupting their spells with his thought which is stated to be faster than any mage can cast. Forgotten Realms, though it is supposed to be a pocket universe, actually has rules as a campaign setting that would stop the Raistlins of the world. Ao is the being that gods go to to find out what rules they have to follow. Imagine any character taking him on. And Elminster knows he is not the most powerful mage in Forgotten Realms, he says the if he and Szass Tam fought it would be a tossup. I myself played a half dragon mage who failed a fortitude save at 19th level and imploded. His CON was alot higher than Raistlin's. Raistlin's low CON would actually make him an almost impossible character to play without alot of DM help and fudged saves. His skin helps against magic but there are characters who use swords. Also, Raistlin's skin helps against magic, but in the book, Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Raistlin is defeated, as is the rest of the party, by a simple sleep spell. But during his test, Fistandantillus, the greatest mage ever, could not use magic against him effectively. That is actually poorly written. He could have used sleep and done whatever he wanted to Raistlin as could the dark elf. I am done.
Besides that, the rules for antimagic shell state that magic does not work inside it. Takhisis casts antimagic shell on a mortal and then finishes him off with her sword. Raistlin by himself could not have beaten a god with magic alone as a mortal as the rules state that mortal magic does not effect deities or artifacts. Raistlin is a product of artistic license just like Drizzt who never loses his fights or Artemis who did not die with the rest of the assassins when Bane was killed. The books are just that. Try telling a DM you are going to defeat a dark elf when the strongest spell you know at the time is sleep. I believe that the featherfall he uses in the first book is a product of his staff, which he did not have during his test. I know that he makes a deal with Fistandantillus and all that, but I read somewhere that Raistlin felt he could defeat the dark elf without that help.
The character concept is good. The Raistlin of Dragonlance is a product of artistic license. Raistlin was only 4th level at the most after his test because he stated that he did not yet have the power to cast fireball, yet he defeats a dark elf wizard during his test. That is called artistic license. If you read about the spells he actually uses, he was not a particularly powerful wizard or Dragonlance is a very weak campaign setting.
Great NPC Blaze, I downloaded him years ago.... and loved him.
as for the total crap comment, dont let people like that get to you. I can only imagine their efforts in the toolset.... And then I shudder at the thought.
anywho, take care.

Keep the negative comments to yourself. This character was posted 5 YEARS AGO. So to say that is "total crap" or "not good" really just makes you look like an idiot.
If it was "total crap" then why does it have well over 7,000 downloads, multiple pages of comments, and is in the Hall of Fame?
Try making and gearing a toon like this 5 years ago the week after HoTU came out.
Oh and get a life too.

Good effort on trying to match the portrait with the in-game graphics.
I like the character, but shouldn't his Con be lower. He was always described as frail in the books. He is as Physically weak as Caramon is Strong _________________________ Academy of Modding ExcellenceVice-Chairman

This is really a great character. Great job, Blaze. The only problem I can see is that the details on his face are kinda strange with the metallic coloring, but other than that, Great Job! I agree with Greenlion420, Tens of thousands of people from around the world love Raistlin, and no one will view him the same.

Not bad... but... Improved Disarm?
Hrrmmh?
No healing skill?
He learned a lot about herbal remedies from the witch in Solace when he was a child.
Decent job though!!

Excellent work. Raistlin is one of the greatest mages/characters in all of fantasy fiction.

Great character I was looking for a good raistlin. Thanks.
As for the Lord Soth vs. Raist debate, Raistlin would win. If you recall, in Time of the Twins, when Soth first saw Raistlin, he said something to the affect of "...I can even recognize a TRUE Master..." So, Soth humbled himself before Raist. Just think how powerful Raistlin had to be, since he had Cyan Bloodbane(one of the most powerful green dragons) under his control and Cyan fooled all the Silvanesti elves ie. War of Souls Trilogy(I forgot which book).
new to this but looking at raistlins stats above i belive his con was much lower ( if my aging memory servesabout 3-5) _________________________ There is no avoiding war ,it can only be postponed to the advantage of your enemy-Niccolo Machiavelli 1502

*sighs* Don't like this version of Raistlin then stop complaining and make your own to submit here. Its that easy.
So while you all waste time bickering, you could be making your own versions of raistlin.
My opinion. Goodwork when you compare him to this game. Doesn't matter what version or what his stats are, NWN isn't even really FR, there is many differences, espically level wise. The fact that you can get to lvl 40 so easily in NWN shows you this. So this is a good showing of Raistlin in NWN. Espically since we could hypothitcally say that the gods in NWN are lvl 99 or 100. _________________________ Oh yeah! My computer is running SEX! *Pelvic Thrust*

pigwood is right about Raistlin, but still he was chose since birth by Fistantatilus so he didn't realy have a chance.
Posted by pigwood ( 69.55.xxx.xxx ) at 2006-06-08 02:06:23
you are right Martinius, I think it was in the Time of Troubles, that Elminster stated that a simple magic missle will disrupt most mages.
That is due to wisdom modifier i think. roleplaying vs. storytelling alas.
Oh by the way Dalamar stated himself, I believe. That the only time he had the chance of defeating Raistlin was the moment he stepped through the portal, being at his weakist.
Kind of repetitive isn't it?
Dalamar has a chance to beat Raistlin at the portal.
Raistlin has a chance to beat Takhisis at the portal.
Dalamar get's owned by the one he supposedly loves.
Raistlin get's owned by the one he supposedly loves.
At least with Raistlin's story, it's left to wonder if it's his own ego or his brother. _________________________ Think for yourself. Question authority.
