Suggestions on Famous Fictional Characters as PCs?

[Legacy_Nick The Noodle]

               

I have been playing a PC based on a fictional character, namely Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melnibone.

 

At Level 20 the character looked like this:

Elf.  Chaotic Evil changing to True Neutral changing to Neutral evil.

Sorcerer Level 18, Blackguard 2. 

S14, D18, C6, I12, W8, Ch16(21) at L1(20).  (Strength is too high, but I needed the cleave feat without taking a monk level).

Feats: Power Attack, Cleave, Combat Casting, Spell Penetration, Greater Spell Penetration, Weapon Focus Longsword, Luck of Heroes.

 

Another under consideration at level 20.

Robert E Howards Conan the Barbarian.

Half-Orc. Chaotic Neutral to Chaotic Evil to Neutral Evil to Lawful Neutral to Lawful Good.

Barbarian 15.  Fighter 2.  Rogue 3.

S20 (25), D14, C14. I10. W8. Ch6 at L1(20).  NB: Conan's charisma is based on intimidation.

Feats: Power Attack, Cleave, Great Cleave, Ambidexterity, Two Weapon Fighting, Improved Two Weapon Fighting, Exotic Weapon Focus, Improved Initiative, Strong Soul, Luck of Heroes.

 

Are these okay?

Can you provide other examples of fictional characters at level 20 ability?

 

Fritz Leiber's Grey Mouser?

Karl Edward Wagnar's Kane?

Graham Greene's Pinkie Brown?

Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe?

 

Just a few suggestions.  Please submit your favourites.

I'd say you have Conan's INT way too low for as many languages as the man knows, his extremely diverse skills, and his tactical acuity, if indeed you're talking about the way Howard portrayed him in the stories.  This is not a man of average intelligence.  Conan was also hugely multiclassed, being a swashbuckler in at least one story (with reference to having done it for a good stretch of time), a thief in at least one other, a ranger in yet another, and of course a barbarian in most.

Perhaps, but I only have 30 points to spend on attributes.

 

Edit: Actually Conan's intelligence should be 8 in the example above as I forgot to apply the intelligence penalty.
