Probably my favorite table-top character was my original Dwarven Fighter. He started out under the basic D&D rules and was migrated to 2nd Edition. He had gone through some bizarre modules including a module called Castle Amber (basic) where he had massive stat changes done to him, all to his benefit.

Later in life, after the transfer to 2nd edition, he acquired a set of Mithril Plate Mail and a Mithril shield (+4 each) and a +4 throwing Axe that returned when thrown and if under the Moon and Stars (ie: not underground, or under a cloudy sky) would strike 2 targets before returning.

I had to stop collecting magic items for him, because he was overpowered for a long time because of all this. Eventually he balanced out with the rest of equal level parties, but he was a tank, pure and simple. Give him something to fight, and he'd be the first one to wade in. He was a blast to play.

I actually wish I could get him back into a game again, but I DM most of the time...

nice. my dwarven fighter/cleric was a blast to play too.

You could always post in the recruitment thread your looking for a 2nd edition game if you wanted to be a player again.

Until I know how much time I can dedicate to a game, I'm not willing to start up in another game. I may have to change my regular weekly tabletop game as it is due to maybe having to get up at O-my-gawd O'clock in the morning on Mondays for the new job.

We'll see. I'd like to get in on one though.

My Favorite character was a Clone Medic(soldier /scout cross with medical feats) in Star Wars. He was named Caboose, and he rolled criticals for a while. He never died. He was named after the RvB character( I wasn't the one that named him).
