JD's 2E fantasy: LOTR stuff

[Libra]

Keep up the good work Joshua Dunlow!

[JoshuaDunlow]

Great work, as always, on the characters from LOTR. Also, I really like Sensuali Amoris. What a great name! Very fitting.

Hey thanks IK, LOTR is my passion i have to admit. And thanks on Sensuali, granted there's info still missing on that build. And i still have two more builds to do related to her, so should be pretty interesting.

Keep up the good work Joshua Dunlow!

Don't i always?

[JoshuaDunlow]

Nice Gimli, I like to see that you put him on the same Pl of Legolas (even if the last costs more fo all his Elven abilities), I've see too much kids that, after seeing the movies, consider him just a sort of appendage to Aragorn and Legolas.

The first time i had ever stated Gimli up he did turn out like that, and then while doing the new builds i realized. Gimli should be able to hang around with the best them. Besides to stay true to each character in LOTR, i was not going to try and limit them to PL/pp costs.

“Yes, my precious. We wants it. “

Race: Hobbit (Harfoot), Concept: Sneak, Stinker, Age: 588 at the time of his death.

- Shrinking 2 [Flaws: Permanent; (-2 str, +2 stealth, -2 grapple, -1 intimidate)]

Spread too Thin Power Suite [Taint of the Ring] (7pp)
The taint of the ring has spread Gollum’s spirit way to thin. But his own innate resistance to the rings powers, had created a surprising change in him (instead of becoming a wraith).
- Immunity 1 [Aging (½ save)]
- Super Movement 1 [Sure Footed]
- Super Senses 4 [low light vision, Detect (the one ring, extended 2) ]

Twisted Power Suite (1pp)
- Feature: +4 bonus against the corruption and control of the ring.

Drawbacks [-2]: Poor (-2)
Equipment [0 ep]: Nothing of Consequence.
Complications: Gollum (split personality), Obsessed with the Ring.


Builder's Notes:
Gollum is always a tough one to put down into perspective, despite the fact he is a hobbit. He is a superb waterman and sneak thief. And is especially good at striking from concealment to great effect, often enough to make him a challenge to even a skilled ORC or Aragorn for that matter.

New Feats:
Slippery [Combat]: The target gains a +4 bonus to escaping grapples; as long as the the hero is smaller than the person attempting to grappling him. He only gains a +2 bonus against those of the same size.

[Woodclaw]

Wow, great Gollum, I was about to ask if he shouldn't have a sort of Requires grapple strike, given his preference for strangling, but I think that the combination of Sneak attack and Chockehold is more than enough (maybe adding Crushing pin to the mix can be useful).

[Kal'El Wayne]

You statted the second D&D Movie? While I'm on the subject, are you going to stat Damodar, by any chance at all? Please?

...And is there any chance of stats for the first movie? (Mostly Marina, Ridley, Snails and Profion?)

Ah ha, i knew i had forgotten someone. I have stats for Damodar, i just didn't finish converting him. And i don't know if i will be doing any 1st movie conversions.

Crushing Pin, looks like a good addition.

Great stuff, JD! Any chance of seeing some Uruk-hai write-ups?

Builder’s Notes:
Damodar Really doesn't use much magic either.. so didn't really know what to do here, all I have ever seen him do is use a teleport spell honestly. So that’s all I gave him <.< The fact of the matter is, even with the orb. The only magic he uses, is the cursing of Melora , the bone trap, and probably the enervating blast of energy he shoots at Berek. Oh yeah and summoning a white dragon. Over all, using the orb is pretty slow. So this gives a chance for the heroes’ to act against him. Overall I took a few liberties with Damodar to make him more of a threat , his attack and defensive abilities are much higher than I would have done. Because it seems to me that between the first and second movie, Damodar went from a Warrior to a Undead Wizard of sorts.

The Orb of Falazure
From what i can tell, the orb removed his undead curse but to what affect. There is a scene that shows his henchmen still feeding him blood through the slot in his back. So I’m just going to guess, the orb made Damodar whole again. And took away the undead weaknesses he might normally have. The orb is mostly a plot device otherwise, able to contain the powers of the Falazure the Night Dragon and keep him in suspended animation. It also contains the power of the Night Dragon itself at the disposal of those crazy enough to use it. In essence the Orb will grant the wielder the Variable Power.

Anyways as far as villains go, i can only say that Damodar sucked. lol. For all his "might" with the orb of Falazure you don’t see him do much. So I suggest that the GM, give Damodar a few alternate powers for magic to flesh him out.

Next builds coming...
Uruk-Hai, Orcs, and Goblins, oh my!

Builder’s Notes
There are many types of Orcs in the World of Middle Earth. That it would be insane to categorize them all, however as a simple way of doing this. If you want to make different tribes of orcs different, you can give them 1 or 2 ranks in a unique physical characteristic. Including Shrinking.

[peteyrock]

Wow. I was expecting one orc, and we got three. Very cool! Would you say that you'd stat the orcs/goblins of Moria differently? Ooh! I'd like to see what you do with trolls as well! Glee!

Yes i would do them slightly different.
I would change their Low Llight Vision to Dark Vision Completely.
And to make goblins, i would simply attach 1 or 2 ranks of shrinking onto that.
Now depending if you wanted to go by the movie, id give Moria Orcs 1 rank in Super Movement 1 (wall-crawling).
Moria orcs are also the toughest, and perhaps combat ready of the orcs (save orcs from the black land where Sauron dwells). Along side the orcs of Angmar.So i'd probably up ther PL another rank, and give them a bonus to attack and defense.

Orcs from Orthank, generally have growth ranging from 1 to 2 ranks.

I believe i have a troll build around here somewhere waiting to be converted
