heroic heroes

[Uh-Nu-Buh]

I like the idea. Here are some Mythoses/heroes that come to mind:

Greeks
--achilles--prot 30 without armor, att/def 20/20
--hercules--st30, has the lion skin armor that gives him invulnerability (robe of invulnerability), att/def 13/13, uses no weapons except his fist?
--charon the centaur (?)--precision of 20
--Perseus maybe
--Theseus maybe--has the aegis shield, ultra-sharp sword, can fly (shoes of hermes)

Romans:
Romulus--some type of werewolf? animal awe?
Remus--some type of werewolf? animal awe?
Caesar--huge standard, awe, amazing leadership, poisoned dagger (irony)
Nero--demonic, seduce,

Mid East/Far East (kind've)
Gilgamesh--immortal, st 20, att/def 15/15
Enkidu--same as above (twins)
Alexander the Great--phalanx, cataphracti, leadership, awe, knot-cutting, elite knitting
Genghis Khan--give him elite light cavalry, elite mounted archers, etc.
Kublai Khan--a special castle that has uniquely powerful resource and taxation powers, lots of extra income from "trade" somehow

Celtic/Irish/British
Kukullain Himself--boulder throwing like Jotun
Cuiccal--spear man
Taliesin the bard
Taran Pigkeeper
Dalben the sorceror
Beowulf
Arthur Pendragon
Merlin

Lots more out there. Hindu; Mesopotamian; Early Babylonian; the old Hebrew Heroes; the Roman generals; Carthage (Hannibal and his elephants); Sumerian monsters and heroes were endless....

Oh man, showing my total geekiness. Think of all the comic-book heroes you could implement? Now THAT would be a challenge. The Fantastic Four--how would you do Reed Richards? The Human Torch would be easy--flying, fire of 3, high fire aura.... Anyways.

I'm fairly certain there are theme-specific heroes; I know Black Forest Ulm has several that refer specifically to Black Forest flavor text.

he techno-wizard, good research, high defense (attacks oftem bounce, or miss as he stretch aside), new weapon (if you can) stretchy hand - like fist, oly reelly long

There's a mercenary company with 5 elephants lead by an elephant commander named Hannibal

Achilles should have immunity to all elements, mr of 30, air shield, etc. and 1 hitpoint! There are few spells that cause automatic damage that can't be resisted, but how many? At what levels? I really like this idea...

Hercules, hmm... No, just give him awesome strentgh, the lion skin armor with prot. 30, 20 or so hitpoints, low encumberance, great club as a weapon, and low magic resistance. Maybe berserk and feeblemindedness ( ) from start.

Theseus would be hard to do as all those items exist already. Maybe he should be independant defending his city? A commander equipped with Sword of Sharpness, Aegis Shield and winged boots?

Hercules/Herakles killed the guy who regenerated while his feet touched the ground; there are his boots as an artifact... Even though I don't remember anything more about him, he might be doable too.

Romans:
Romulus--some type of werewolf? animal awe?
Remus--some type of werewolf? animal awe?
Caesar--huge standard, awe, amazing leadership, poisoned dagger (irony)
Nero--demonic, seduce,

Brutus: Assasin, non-stealthy would be nice flavour but its better to make him stealthy anyway.

Romulus and Remus absolutely need animal awe, maybe they would have wolfherder's ability to summon them? Nah, not that good an idea. Any ideas, anyone?

I don't know about Caesar... He would be just very good commander.

I don't know a thing about these.

Some nice ideas here, I would love to see them implemented.

Hmm, wasn't Charon "just" the ferryman across the river Styx (or Acheron - both are among the 5 rivers seperating the world of the living from the world of the dead, it seems to be unsure where Charon actually stood) moving the dead to Hades ?

Or was there any other Charon, I seem to recall a Chiron who was a Centaur.
