Does anyone remember that 80's cartoon, The Gummi Bears? When I was a kid I loved that show, anyway, what would they be like in D&D 3E stats. Probably slightly along the lines of halflings combined with elves. I remember they were supposed to be competent mages so maybe that would be their favored class. Its interesting to think about anyway...
Mod Edit: Moved to the more-generalised D&D section of Candlekeep |

I remember the Gummi Bears, and enjoyed it quite a bit although I was a bit older than the target audience. My favorite character was the servant/henchman for the evil lord, which has been a template for many many D&D characters since (along with Lord Black Adder). |

Actually, if I recall correctly the gummiberry juice could make humans bounce too. But then, it's been a long time since I watched that show... |

You also have the remember that Gummiberry juice seems to have different effects on different species. Gummi have the bouncing power, while humans and ogres get short boosts of strength. Who knows what effect it would have on orc, dwarfs or elves? |

I know it did.... but we were sick children. :) Or, we didn't really know any better cause we were kids when it came out.
Anyhow, we should get this semi-back on topic...... |

It is proof that not everything George Lucas touches turns to gold (he produced it, I think).
Yes,
he was one of the producers. :)
Man, I saw that when it came out at the movies/on vhs. Sad. :) |

The smurfs scare me as a adult.... I've always wondered why there's really only one female in the whole village..... quite... interesting. |

Actually, I think the indivdual Smurf characters would make interesting NPCs for a campaign.
Heh. Brainy could be the local town sage the adventurers regularly visit for lore and other campaign-related information.  |

I thought it odd in a Disney production, that the Gummi Bears would just toss the empty bottles into the forest after drinking the Gummi Berry juice. |

What would be the stats of gummi bears in 3E terms? |

Not really, I didn't mention a duration, butjudging from what I remember of the show, which I haven't seen in more than a decade, the gummis could jump that far, remember 60 feet is just about 20 meters. Plus they could attack, if one could call it that, and bounce on. Also blunt instruments didn't really do any damage at all, so considering that the DR only works for blunt weapons it ain't that much of a problem...
Duration? Maybe 6 rounds... |

Well, its a well known fact that the barbarian hero known as captain Caveman is a member of the hairy Hanna-barbarians that live on a small island on the western shore of the great ice sea.
The islands center is heated by volcanic activity and geysers that makes it possible for the magical Cluballa tree to grow. This is a holy tree and a compromise in an old argument between Silvanus and the goddess of Air, where it was agreed that the tree should grow in the air itself. From these the Hanna-barbarians make their magical flying clubs.
In the later years there has been rumours of the island sinking and the Hanna-barbarians preparing to migrate. They will probably travel in the branches of the flying trees. No one are sure on how they will meet the rest of faerun or where their will travel, as they both have a lousy sense of direction and somewhat slow thought-process as long as food is not involved.
Wherever they travel it will be a scream.
PS Wooly, could you stat them in 2ed. terms? |

As for Jorkens' question-
I was actually thinking of using them. I figured that since the gummis left Europe for central America to escape humans, they would have had to leave again once the conquistadors came. If the Gummis were such powerful wizards, then why not perform a spell that transfers their civilization to another plane or planet? To me that would be the best way to keep their civilization alive. I don't know where they would settle on Faerun (help there would be nice), but the elves would likely accept them as kindred spirits. I could even see the dwarves accepting them, since the gummis built vast tunnel networks underground. They would most likely be wary of humans, but I'm sure they would be able to defend themselves against Thay and Shade, so they would have some staying power. |

I never really watched that show... But I'd be willing to help try to stat out Captain Caveman or the Smurfs.  |

Bonus Jump attack feat for duration, jump without starting run for at least 60 feet, DR15/everything EXCEPT bludgeon weapons, reflection for blunt attacks back on the attacker grapple modifier as AB
Of course I didn't research enough of the series and didn't bother to look into the rulebooks either |

Hm, would spellducker then become a character-class?
That half-duck template could be a real hit.
Now, what about the chosen of the duck god Baercksos?
Help, I cant stop myself. |

Why stop there? Why not have wereducks?
We need a Ducks of the Realms supplement. There's obviously interest in it: No really . . . I need stats for a duck . . . |
