I figured I'd start a thread to see how Mystara fans here would choose to build Bargle as a 4E NPC. What level would you make him? What powers would he have? I think he'd work best in the Paragon tier, so maybe 15th level. I'd give him powers related to charms and blasting. I think he needs a cool staff. What do you folks think? When I have a sample ready I'll post something here. L
At his lowest levels I gave him a Selectostaff (book of wondrous inventions) which is a Staff with a springloaded blade...something i thought was more his style - at least until he gained power and Magic items.
At later levels I think he is more the fancy cane of weaponry kind of guy - (a fine cane in keeping with his status but with a permanent magic sword* enchantment (which allows the user to create and wield wigh his mind a sword of pure magic)
*magic sword being a 1989 D&D spell common to the Mystara setting.
