My name would be Steven, though I usually prefer Steve in English, as it sounds better in my opinion, and who cares about a single 'n' anyway [img]smile.gif[/img]

My IW name, Legolas the Elven Archer, was chosen because Legolas was the name of my BG1 ranger, and he became an Archer in BG2. The reason I chose that name was because Legolas is a cool character from the Lord of the Rings who fits my idea of a ranger (not a LOTR ranger, but a FR ranger) and more so that of an Archer.
The 'the Elven Archer' extention was chosen because there already was a Legolas, and my character was at that time an Archer, plus he was elven. In the brief period I got to change my name, I removed the extention because that was what I originally wanted, and because noone bothered to call me Legolas the Elven Archer but simply said Legolas. History class dismissed!

Cerek Tolgar was my most powerful PnP character. When I finally quit playing him he had these attributes.

Level: 28
Hit Points: 400 (barbarian Con bonus. Our group had hp cap of 400, or it could've been more. Legends & Lore restricted diety's to 400hp and no mortal could have more hp than there diety).

Special Attribute (gained from relic) 99% Magic Resistance. Unaffected by casters' level and total immunity to any spell below 7th level.
In other words, he was a PnP Wizard Slayer - and that happens to be what I'm playing him as in BGII.

AFA his physical stats go, his Str and Con had been magically raised to 20. Dex was 18. He was a walking POWERHOUSE!!!

You must have kissed your DM's ass. A relic raised your magic resistance to 99%? Must be nice. I used to have to pull teeth to get a +1 sword or something.

Hey what happened to my other post?!

That's weird..
Well, it was something like this:

"Now we know your real names, let's share why you chose your IW name.
I chose Regin (pronounced Rejgin [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) because of a dwarf with that name in one of the discworld games."

Or something like that [img]smile.gif[/img]

(Oh and if my post by any chance had gotten deleted by a mod, I'll take the risk of posting it again [img]tongue.gif[/img]
