Seriously have any of you read about this guy? I swear the person who created him was on crack or wanted to set up a Mary Sue:

Raistlin accepted and during the final confrontation with the Dark Elf, Renet, who played a prominent role in the Test, his own powerful will manifested powerful magical armor that turned his skin gold and allowed him to survive a direct hit by a fireball with almost no injury.

It was when Raistlin first encountered Immolatus that a new ability of Raistlin's cursed eyes was revealed. Upon encountering a dragon garbed in mortal guise, he could see partially through its transformation. In the book Brothers in Arms, the first encounter with Immolatus is described as such:



His ambition, however, was such that he betrayed the Dark Queen, ultimately bringing the War of the Lance to an end and leaving him as the most powerful force on Krynn.

Caramon Majere (Elder) Unknown Woman

Tanin Palin Usha Laura Steel Brightblade



Sturm Ulin Linsha Dezra


He was once the famous/infamous Hero of the Lance (from the Dragonlance series), after his death his spirit roamed the astral plane, and when this new plane of existence was created, being the most powerful mage ever to live, it was easy for him to set himself up as a god of this realm.




Seriously how can a player character be so powerful? I know they've moved him to NPC status now (finally) but God, Raistlin is supremely awesome and possibly the best character in existence. If I could play D&D 3.2 again, I would choose to be Raistlin only so that I can DPS while Gimli and Boremir tanked golem.

Oh God, I wish I could draw; does anybody have any fanfic where Raistlin and Gimli are fighting orcs?
