Mates, who are the most powerful characters from Toril ? This is not a poll, I'm just looking for an insight for Toril most powerful characters.
For wizards, I know Elminster, Khelben and the daughters of Mystra.
For warriors, I know only Drizzt (ranger) and Piergeiron (paladin).
Any others ?

There is a powerful half-drow monk, the one who established the Black Raven Monastery somewhere in the Spine of the World. He is a tough one. I forgot his name though...

When you say 'heroes', do you mean just the good guys? If so, here's a few:

King Azoun Obarskyr IV, 20th level human fighter and king of Cormyr. Recently deceased.

Cadderly, 20th level human priest and the Chosen of Deneir.

Dove Falconhand, 14th level human ranger, one of the Seven Sisters and the Chosen of Mystra.

Durnan, 18th level human fighter and one of the lords of Waterdeep.

Gwydion, 20th level human paladin of Torm.

Qilué Veladorn, 16 level drow priest and the Chosen of Eilistraee, one of the Seven Sisters and the Chosen of Mystra.

Storm Silverhand, 22nd level human bard, one of the Seven Sisters and the Chosen of Mystra.

Syluné Silverhand, spectral harpist, one of the Seven Sisters and the Chosen of Mystra.

Tarl Desanea, 15th level human priest of Tyr.

Tavis Burdun, 15th level firbolg ranger.

Tristan Kendrick, 14th level human fighter and former high king of the Moonshaes.


Any other Chosen is guaranteed to be powerful. The only other official one I know of is Fzoul Chembryl (who's been a Chosen of both Iyachtu Xvim and Bane), but judging from his abilities (immortality, can play any instrument in existence, etc) the head of the church of Milil is probably a Chosen of his god too.

Qilué Veladorn, 16 level drow priest and the Chosen of Eilistraee, one of the Seven Sisters and the Chosen of Mystra.

I remember there was a Qilue priestess in BG2, too. Is the same character with Qilue Veladorn ?

[NiGHTMARE]

Nope, Qilue just happens to be a common drow name .

[MERLANCE]

Halaster Blackcloak, the crazy undermountain dude is a super powerful mage

Larloch, a lich from the time of Netheril is another super powerful mage. Ever hear of "Larlochs minor drain"?

Shuruppak is a tough fighter. You get his armor in BG2. Hes the former Chosen of Gilgeam. Former, because Gilgeam is dead.

[Feanor]

Larloch, a lich from the time of Netheril is another super powerful mage. Ever hear of "Larlochs minor drain"?

If Larloch is so powerful, why he designed only such a ridiculous weak spell ?

I'm sure he's desinged other spells as well.

I remember reading somewhere, not sure if it was net fiction or not, that he was killed and his undead city was overtaken by a more powerfull Bane lich though.

It's just that unlike those goodie-two-shoes morons, he prefers to keep his GOOD spells to himself.

Last that I checked, he had a planar spanning network of liches and demi-liches under him. So I do believe he would be a bit difficult to take-down.

I've seen that website. It's just for someone's home-brewed campaign.

That's what I thought. Thanks for the clarification.

[The Leveler]

Well, Larloch could probably take out Elminster. Larloch was from Netheril, and has literally hundreds of other Netherese lices, not to metion hores of vampires, zombies, ect. Larloch's MINOR Drain proably came from Szass Tzam, a 10 Necromancer/17 Red Wizard/Archmage 2 lich, and the only Red Wizard of the hundreds who have tried to get stuff from Larloch. Larloch apparently liked Szass so well he gave him two artifacts, and orb that could compel obedience, and a chair that would allow you to drain the powers of those who sit in it.

I´ve read in somewhere that Larloch has an specil permission to use 10th and above level spells while he continues on development new spells.

Is the only wizard in Fauerun who can cast 10 th leves spells, for the other one´s the limit is nine since netheril fall and karsus first-in history-totallymunchkin 13th level spell

[Bane]

oh well, the clric quintet is ruined for me then, are they all about Cadderly or is it just the first book?

[icelandismine]

Well, currently, Elminster is god. Especially with 3rd edition rules, since the CR gives us a way to compare at least levels accurately. Elmintser- CR48

Some more powerful figures:
Szass Tam-Red Wizard, zulkir of necromancy in Thay. Nec10 Red10 Acm2 Epic7
Note: Has a 16th level spell slot.

Actually, that's all I can think of that hasn"T been said.

I think I read in some hand book that mage/psion gets at high levels 10th lvl spells. Something to do with the complexity of spell and psion part providing clearer insight. Only problem is psionic is not that common in Toril.

[Archmage Silver]

There is a powerful half-drow monk, the one who established the Black Raven Monastery somewhere in the Spine of the World. He is a tough one. I forgot his name though...

He was called Black Raven but I don't know if his drow name was mentioned.
Nasher Alagondar, Lord of Neverwinter
Khelben the Elder (Blackstaff) assumed the role of Khelben the Younger for he feared that the people of Waterdeep would shun his leadership if it was known that he is a chosen of Mystra and oh-so-old.
Khelben (younger) Ravencloak, now resides in Greyhawk but was born in the world of Toril.
For dragons I mention Fyrentennimar and there I stop for there are so many powerful dragons (they usually are all powerful hehe).
Irenicus, the former Chosen of the Seldarine
Orrick the Grey, powerful mage
Vangerdahst, former Courtwizard of Cormyr
Ellesime, leader of the city of Suldanesselar
These are but a minor portion of Faeruns Mighty and Powerful.

[Arachnos]

Someone mentioned that the cleric of Auril was the most powerful cleric on Toril.

How do we rank druids then, cos the head of the Emerald Enclave was a Druid 30 (Chosen of Silvanus) in 2ed

I recently picked up Lords of Darkness on the cheap on e-bay as well, which is full of heavy hitters:

The Shade Lord and his princes.

The twisted rune.

The Kraken Society (led by a Kraken Wiz20 (chosen of Umberlee)

+

Is one branch of the harpers (the one in Berdusk) still run by the bard 26??
