3.5 stats. What do you think they would be?

Mordenkainen is mentioned in Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk but he isn't listed.

I think Mordenkainen received a nice treatment in the Epic Level Handbook.

As for the Big B... has he ever been statted? In any edition? Not that familiar with Greyhawk :(

I believe he had some stats done up in the 1st edition Rogues' Gallery, but they really wouldn't do him justice in 3.5. At best, they'd give some idea of his development on the path to greatness, but that's about all.

Paul Ackerman 70 (Pathfinder Chronicles Superscriber), Sun, Jul 20, 2008, 02:12 PM

Yeah, I could update them from Mordenkainens Fantastic Adventure... I didn't think about checking my Epic Level Handbook.

I guess I'll check that out and make Bigby about the same.

In the City of Greyhawk box (Folks,Feuds and Factions book), Bigby is statted on page 22. He is level 18, while Mordy is level 20 (and statted a few pages earlier). The whole Circle of Eight (c. 580 CY) is statted therein. Bigby is said there to rarely adventure now, so he won´t gain too many levels anymore - just barely epic, I´d say, if even that. It would be perfectly ok to leave him at level 18 to 20 IMO.

I'm pretty sure Bigby (and several others, but not Mordenkainen) are statted (for 2e) in Vecna Lives! I just don't have it close.

Mordenkainen, Tue, Jul 22, 2008, 03:39 PM

I have those stats -- but you can't have them!

Of course! They are indeed in there. IIRC, the stats are identical to those in the City box.

City of Greyhawk box I have.

I'll look that up when I get home.

Thanks

In addition, you might want to email Crieghton of the LG Circle. He probably has Bigby statted out for use in Living Greyhawk modules, or knows which region to contact to get those stats.
