Hello, sorry to bother the sages of candlekeep, but there is a slight contradiction i wish to resolve. Kaanyr Vhok is listed as a fighter 16/sorceror 6 in Power of Faerun but in the other sourcebooks, the only one which i can remember of the top of my head being the Underdark, he's listed as a fighter 7/rogue 2/wizard 6. Which is the correct or more up to date version? |

I always liked that rule. :)

Agreed. The Wizards in FR always seem more like a hybrid of the Sorcerer and Wizard classes in 3E anyway, half the time.
Which is why I allow casting on the fly for almost any caster class. Sorcerer's just have unlimited casting since what they have listed is what they have total.
Wizards and Clerics and other prepared casters, are subject to my arbitrary wimps, unless said spell was actually prepared. Plus Wizards need to have their spellbook out to cast on the fly, thus risking it being damaged/destroyed, and cannot use Metamagic. |

Haha, I wonder if anyone else would have actually commented on that, Kuje. ;) Well, Old Sage, maybe...
Probably. ::smirk::

Kuje, I think he refers to the 3e Underdark
You're right. Sigh. I really need to stop replying when I'm half awake. :) I do this all the time, when that's the case. |

Haha, yep guess thats that. I'll remember to put it to my DM in a euphemistic fashion and then we can go onto Sarya. . . oops i almost forgot she was conveniently destroyed too. Hmm but i thought those rogue lvls did fit him and his role as a devious, scheming half-fiend and it gave him some pretty nifty tricks too, evasion and what not. ah well its the NEW STATS DAMMIT( slaps himself to remember) and many thanks, i dont really have the hang of the jargon yet |

Retcon = retroactive continuity - a correction that says "this is how it is and how it always was - there was never a different version out there. I don't care if you're staring right at the entry in the old sourcebook that gives those stats: they never existed - these new ones are the ones you use, dammit!" 
And personally, I think sorcerer levels are a little more fitting for a tiefling like Vhok, but YMMV. [shrug] |

Power of Faerun, being a newer book, retcons all other information regarding his class/levels. |
