I would think
that a forsaken has got the levels to match him too, so
maybe a forsaken would stop elminster!
Sorry Must have had some homegrown of my
own
Err (grabs books), Elminster is Ftr 1/Rogue 2/Cleric
3/Wizard 20/Archmage 5/Epic 4 with the Chosen of Mystra
template by the FRCS beyond-20th-level rules, or Elminster is
Ftr 1/Rogue 2/Cleric 3/Wizard 24/Archmage 5 with the Chosen of
Mystra template by the Epic Level Handbook.
A
reasonable Rand (as opposed to the one in the rulebook that
relied on loopy levels of ta'veren bonuses to avoid making him
an epic-level character), IMO, is Arm 4/Wds 1/Alg 1/Wil 12/Ini
5.

Well i
suppose the picking of the nits goes both ways eh? I'm not
sure where Rand would find time to gain levels in Algai'd'
siswai, considering his use of a sword would prevent any exp
gain in that direction, also, how did you forget his
blademaster levels? Elminster would have the advantages
either way, but calandor is basically a major level boost in
casting ability. Not that it matters, Rand is a cooler
character by far, his lesser power in dnd cant change that, in
my opinion anyway.

Rand surely found time to learn with Rhuarc in *both*
The Shadow Rising and The Fires of Heaven. While Jordan didn't
go into detailed descriptions of the training, there are
mutliple mentions of Rand spending time learning to fight with
spears and hand/feet. When not training with Aiel methods with
Rhuarc, he worked the sword with Lan. Or, met with clan
chiefs, etc. He deserves a level of Algai*.
And
yeah, he should probably have a level or two of blademaster, I
imagine. ![[Big Grin]](Wizards_Com Boards Wheel of Time homebrew (2)_fichiers/biggrin.gif)

I'm not
some kind of FR fanboy (I've got most of the 3e FR rules stuff
-- though I haven't used it in an actual game, but I don't
have anything earlier, and own no novels and have no intention
of changing this). But generally speaking, D&D magic is
more versatile than WoT channeling, and item creation is much
easier (making magic items a viable use for much of the great
wealth of by-the-book high level D&D characters), so at
the highest levels, D&D characters are more
powerful.
I'm not sure Rand really needs Blademaster
levels; the BAB of 23rd-level character is pretty good on its
own, with 6 levels of warrior-type classes. And it's really
hard to say that he had any before he was in the Epic-level
range, so they'd do less
good.
