Another obscure old ’80s anime I statted out… why did I ever stat out Dragon Half? It must have been one of Phanes’ favorite anime or something… I do think the half-dragon template was pretty awesome in 3.0, and I wanted to include a character that used it.

Looking back at this old list of anime & manga character stats, I’m half inspired to go back to the character builder and make some stats for more recent anime/manga characters for Pathfinder or 4.0. Here’s a few series that jump into my mind as being worthy of adaptation, and appropriately fantasy-esque: Inuyasha, Fushigi Yugi, Bleach (not really appropriate since it’s set in the present day, but…), Naruto, Hoshin Engi, Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, Saiyuki, and possibly Soul Eater. Actually, I could probably get even more players for one-shots at anime conventions if I included stats for the characters from Final Fantasy, etc. But where do you draw the line… should I stat out characters from Kingdom Hearts? Donald Duck vs. Guts from Berserk? @_@ Like the Capcom mixup fighting games, after a certain point it just becomes ridiculous. Realistically, anyone who wants to play a Kingdom Hearts character probably doesn’t want to play a gory, violence-crammed D&D game. But this is just a sign of the diversity of role-playing. It was fun coming up with all these stats, and I got some good D&D games at FanimeCon and Anime Expo out of it. Use them yourself if you like!
