Well, we don't really know the experience level of other characters in the books, and we do know that Lone Wolf began at level 5, very high for someone so young and higher than the vast majority ever achieve, so I don't think it's false to say that he was higher level than most people he ran...

Hmm, I think we might have different takes on the world. One of the things that I loved about the gamebooks was how often he met people who were matches for Kai - Brotherhood mages, Vakeros, Drakkarim, and even sellswords. Lone Wolf is probably far better than most Kai (he did become the great...

I'm pretty sure that's because only a Kai could wield the Sommerswerd, and only the Sommerswerd could beat the Darklords. Lone Wolf as of the first book is a good combatant, but there are plenty of characters from the later books who could have beaten him at that time. I'd say the RPG take on...

In a game I'm in I'm currently playing a standard sword-swinging mercenary. It's a created class, but it was pretty darn easy to do. Basically I gave him a DnD feat every odd level and a class ability from some of the combat classes in LW every even level. I'd say that you could run a Magnamund...

I'd suggest, rather than using, say, the fighter as is, add a single feat each level (perhaps 2 at level 1). That fits with the Lone Wolf progression of abilities more. I would also rework the barbarian and rogue a bit, but that might be more trouble than it's worth.

For the warrior you could allow a single 'bonus feat' choice each level, and let the player pick from those in Dungeons and Dragons (which would require the Player's Handbook) or between some of the already created abilities (Born to the Sword, etc.) and new ones you make.

Looks good! I like titles, because you can insist the other players refer to you as something like "Master Ranger", lol.

Well, Rimoah did have to give even Lone Wolf a Gold Amulet. I think it probably makes sense that the Darklands are tough to explore, you wouldn't want a bunch of first level characters blowing up Helgedad, would you. ;) Anyway, sounds cool, as soon as one comes in to my local store I'm getting a...

Well, you could make your shianti wizards replace Grey Star. Many people (myself included) are doing games where people play through the main series using their own Kai (and other characters). Why not do the same with the Grey Star series?

I like it that way, yes. About Mounted Archer, it seems that would be an extremely useful ability for a ranger. When they're being pursued (as the often were in book 1) they can still fire back at their enemies.

I always just thought of it as Lone Wolf being worried about running into enemies and going into the underbrush just so he can cut through and find a less dangerous path south, not any particular road.

I like how it's coming together. Seeing as how you're giving them a lot of abilities that seem to have to do with agility (like combat reflexes), perhaps they deserve a better reflex save? You could go witht the kai lord's 'average', and if that would unbalance bring fort down to average as well.

Eventually I'd played the kai series so many times that I started just randomly picking disciplines to make it more of a challenge. Hmm, anyway... 1. Hunting: I just love the idea of a super fast, super alert character, and self-sufficiency seems very useful to a Kai Lord. 2. Sixth Sense: This...

If you want an ability that fits the core Lone Wolf rules to replace combat reflexes, you could let the ranger make ranged attacks while mounted at no penalty. I think I remember a feat in DnD doing that... of course I don't remember if Lone Wolf has penalties for firing while mounted.

Someone made a Knight of the White Mountain class here, and I like it quite a bit. Don't have time to search, but you could probably find the thread.
