I did a search to see if the stats on Jarlaxle B'aenre had ever been done and couldn't seem to find anything. Is there such a thing in existance, or am I the only one who has wanted to see them? |

Thank you so much warlockco for this precise statblock!
I'm currently running Waterdeep Dragon Heist and converting it to 3.5, and you helped me save days of Jarlaxle rework!

Yep, though both Jarlaxle and Drizzt would be the front-runners for that to me. Even though Drizzt is a Heretic, he himself has been a large source of Chaos in Menzoberranzan. |

Imo, his stats being set up the way they are only add credence to my theory on his being a chosen of Lolth. Even his stats are chaotic. |

No, no - I agree with you. I just think he must be the only fighter that high who has his stats distributed like that.

True, but I have always seen him as a Smart and Charismatic person. |

Very true. One more reason for my hypothesis. He, like Lolth, seems to exude chaos from his very pores. |

And Jarlaxle is the master of bedding women of all races, as is evident in PotWK.

Is it possible that Jarlaxle is a chosen of Lolth? I'm asking for opinion of course. He seems to be SO capable of getting out of any situation, and almost EVERYTHING about him is rooted in chaos. Just a hypothesis.
He has as much of a chance of being a Chosen as Drizzt does. Both have caused alot of chaos in Menzoberranzan.  |

Remember crennen that he still has contacts in the underdark so equiping something is only a matter of seconds here. What happens though if he goes into a portable hole? |

Who knows what new items or characteristics he'll have by the end of PotWK. He seems to have a new magic item every chapter. I wonder if his treasure matches his allowed by the DMG... hmm, probably not.

I believe he was detailed in the 2e Menzo boxed set... on one of the hand-out cards if memory serves me well. |
