    Default Faros Es-Kalin Stats *possible spoilers*

    I'm trying to work out stats for Faros from the Minotaur Wars trilogy, considering submitting them to the Nexus along with a (planned) set of minotaur articles, but I'm trying to determine some basic stats out for him. Obviously, he's gotta have some Legendary Tactician levels. Basing off the novels, and comparing what he does to stats, I'd give him no less than 4 lvls in it, yet possible as many as 6, for the Rout Enemies skill. He's obviously got some barbarian levels, his often rages prove that. However, he wasn't very barbarian-esque in Vyrox, so I'm considering throwing at least 1 fighter level into the mix. I also wonder if I should give him noble levels because of his royal birth and the fact that, now, he's Emperor.

    I'm trying to determine his actually level, as well. I'd place him at 2nd level when he's at Vyrox...probably have at least 4 barbarian levels for the Rage 2/Day...and then by Empire of Blood like 6 Legendary Tactician levels.

    Ftr2/Bar4/LT6? Sound good? The only toss up is noble levels.

    I can work out feats, skills, equipment, etc., on my own.

    Barbarian is a must for his rage and his barbaric battle tendencies. I'd throw in fighter levels too since he was pretty good with that.

    As for noble, no. He wasn't calling in favors, or doing anything of the like. Maybe he came from nobility and worked his way back up into it, but for the duration of the Minotaur Wars series, he was a warrior through and through.

    I can see legendary tactician either way.

    Sure thing. We'd be happy to have them.

    Cool. Think I might work out a few more stat articles, Kranar knows that I plan to write some Lexicon articles on minotaurs...

    I really love the minotaurs

    Faros, Barbarian due to his rage, not sure about fighter
    Wrathful Avenger of Sargonnas, at least a level( he may be an Ex WrathfulAvenger after the reclaimed the nation.

    he was on the run alot, and raided labor camps, maybe a few levels in rogue or ranger

    Faros is one of my favorite minotaurs, hes BBBBAd to the bone.

    I'm not sure about ranger. He wasn't the "nature's warrior" type. Now what I would do is give him several ranks in survival. He's earned it!

    Barbarian gives you all the skills and abilities you'd need for a fairly accurate depiction of this character. Barbarian should also be his first class, so barbarian 4/fighter 2/legendary tactician 6 would work handily.

    As Trampas says, you don't actually need levels in noble to be Emperor. Many (if not most!) minotaur emperors were just fighters.

    Why would barbarian be his first class? Look at his combat in Vyrox; he was quite level headed, he only started raging during his ogre attacks.

    To get the better skill points, of course.
