Ok, he would go a little nuts when using Stormbringer, but that was more of being in beserk mode than calculated evil. <br /><br />khuddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01401276043236511198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600974191399728636.post-58229262072922325902012-04-15T00:37:53.263-04:002012-04-15T00:37:53.263-04:00Well I pledged 45 dollars.

I vaguely recall the Arthurian and Nehwon stats being somewhat less implausible (although still not quite right).<br /><br />Looking back, I think that the whole attempt to translate most heroes and deities, whether from actual myth or fiction, into AD&D stats was misguided.

But, it's a difficult problem - D&D doesn't really model Moorcock's stories, so what to do?<br /><br />Nevertheless, I hope we can all agree that Elric's swash boots were so super-groovy as to represent a power in their own right.<br /><br />And I still think Arioch looks like that guy Dee drew, no matter how many times I read the books.Matthew Slepinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04056247825064943944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600974191399728636.post-22324990656952436322012-04-05T17:25:02.015-04:002012-04-05T17:25:02.015-04:00And never once in the Elric saga does Arioch use a...And never once in the Elric saga does Arioch use a bloody sword...
