Libertad, you really ought to remove that "Always goes first" and just leave initiative at a +8 for Drizzt and Enteri and such.
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.
--The horror of Mario
Zak S, Zak Smith, Dndwithpornstars, Zak Sabbath. He is a terrible person and a hack at writing and art. His cultural contributions are less than Justin Bieber's, and he's a shitmuffin. Go go gadget Googlebomb!

By the way, guys, feel free to convert iconic D&D characters if you want to. I wouldn't find seeing alternate versions of Drizz't and Soth stated up!

Grimtooth the Troll
CE Male Troll Assassin 5/Dungeon Veteran 5
Hit Points: 188
Initiative: +12
Speed: 40 feet
Armor Class: 33 (38 against traps, +10 armor, +3 natural armor [half normal], +4 dexterity, +6 deflection, +5 Dodge against traps), touch 20 (25 against traps), flat-footed 29

Base Attack/Grapple: +12/+22(+25 with Belt)
Abilities: Str 22 (28 with Belt) Dex 18 Con 22 Int 20 Wis 10 Cha 6 (Grimtooth started out with a 14 Intelligence, but raised it three times at his 8th, 12th, and 16th hit die; at 8th level he got a wizard henchman to Planar Bind an efreet and use the three wishes to increase his Intelligence by 3 points again)
Saves: Fort +16 Ref +14 (+19 against traps) Will +12
Skills (137 points): Climb 9 (+15/+18 Belt), Disable Device 19 (+28/+44 Vest), Escape Artist 4 (+8/+24 Vest), Hide 9 (+9/+25 Cloak), Knowledge (Architecture & Engineering, Dungeoneering) 10 (+15), Jump 6 (+16/+19 Belt), Listen 17 (+22), Move Silently 9 (+13/+29 Boots), Search 19 (+32), Spot 19 (+24)
Feats: Danger Sense, Hordebreaker, Investigator, Iron Will, Professional Luddite, Sharp-Eyed
Class Features: Troll: Rend (extra 2d6+9 damage), Low-light Vision, Regeneration 5, Scent; Assassin: Poison Use, Death Attack +7d6, Personal Immunity (greenblood oil, black lotus extract, drow knockout poison, scorpion venom, wyvern poison), Spellcasting, Uncanny Dodge, Hide in Plain Sight, Cloak of Discretion, Trapfinding, Trapmaking; Dungeon Veteran: Evasion (Improved), Dramatic Attack, Dark-vision 120 feet, Trap Sense (+5), Loyal Steel, Improved Property Damage, Looking For Trouble (+5), Exotic Weapon (Chainsaw), Antimagic Field, Treasure Sense
Spells Known (3/4/2): 0: Detect Magic, Detect Poison, Disrupt Undead, Ghost Sound, Read Magic, Touch of Fatigue; 1st: Disguise Self, Magic Aura, Silent Image; 2nd: Invisibility, Scare. Save DC is 15 + Spell level.
Equipment: Belt of Giant Strength (+6 enhancement bonus), Boots of Elvenkind (+16 enhancement bonus), Cloak of Elvenkind (+16 enhancement bonus), Magic Throwing Axe (sized for Large creatures, +6 enhancement bonus, Returning property), Magic Mithril Shirt of Spell Resistance (All but the last BAB benefit, SR 15, +5 enhancement bonus, +10 total bonus), Necklace of Protection (as Ring, +6 enhancement bonus), Ring of Blinking, Ring of Fire Resistance (16), Vest of Escape (+16 enhancement bonus, lockpicks grant +16 Disable Device). Grimtooth is a world-class dungeon designer, specializing in defensive utilities (read: traps) and has a small army of minions and a thriving marketplace. Thanks to his spellcasting minions with Planar Binding, he has access to the raw materials of any non-magical traps worth 75,000 gp or less, or 45,000 gp or less for magical traps. He usually has 5 doses of Wyvern Poison and Black Lotus Extract on his person.
The Edge: Grimtooth gets The Edge on opponents with a lower BAB than him. Opponents Grimtooth has the Edge against provoke 5 attacks of opportunity from him when they enter into or move through his threatened square.
Grimtooth is the hit-and-run type of fighter. He's usually located deep in a dungeon full of traps and magical alarms to alert him to the presence of adventurers and enemy armies. In such a case, he'll hide from sight. His Hide in Plain Sight and Cloak of Discretion ability allow him to avoid detection from divination magic and in areas without cover or concealment. Before jumping out of hiding to attack, he'll use his Sharp-Eyed feat to try and negate an enemy's armor bonus and study him for a round for Death Attack. If fighting in a trapped room, he'll use Dramatic Attack to try and push an enemy into a trapped area.
Grimtooth knows about anything talked about in the Constructonomicon section of the Dungeonomicon (especially 40 feet of solid material blocking scry-and-die tactics; he loves that rule!). Recommended sourcebooks on traps include Traps & Treachery, I and II, by Fantasy Flight Games, and the Wurst of Grimtooth’s Traps, by Necromancer Games (published under their Sword & Sorcery label).

Libertad, Grimtooth is a great choice, and I like the 'murder pinball' setup. However, the assassin's Traps ability comes in at 5th level, so why the heck is he a rogue 1/assassin 4 instead of an assassin 5?
Also, the Dungeon Veteran should require Horde Breaker (cleave).
So a troll assassin 5/dungeon veteran 5 (CR 15 / CL 16) with Danger Sense, Investigator, Iron Will, Professional Luddite, Sharp-eyed, and Horde Breaker (because Weapon of Righteous Destruction is overpowered and a total dick move on an NPC).
He also needs spells known. Say, detect magic, detect poison, read magic, ghost sound, disrupt undead, touch of fatigue, disguise self, magic aura, silent image, ventriloquism, invisibility, magic mouth, and scare.

Changed the statblock.
I didn't see "Trapfinding" on the Assassin table, so thought that a Rogue level was necessary. I didn't realize that Traps was the same as Trapfinding.
I gave him Horde Breaker and some 2nd level spells. They're located below the "Class Features" section.
I'm going to stat up Meepo the Kobold next.

Meepo, Dragon with a Shotgun
LE Male Kobold Fighter 5/Dragon Disciple (Brass) 5 (augmented Dragon)
Hit Points: 114
Initiative: +4
Speed: 30 feet, burrow 50 feet, fly 90 feet
AC: 26 (+2 armor [halved], +10 Natural Armor, +4 Dex), touch 14, flat-footed 22
Attacks: Magic Shotgun +18 (2d8+4, +10 damage within 40 feet or with Blitz, +20 both), Bite +16 (1d8+6), Claw +16 (1d6+6), Wings +16 (1d4+3)
Base Attack/Grapple: +10/+16
Abilities Str 22 Dex 18 Con 12 Int 14 Wis 14 Cha 14
Saves: Fort +9 Ref +12 Will +11 (+13/+16/+15 with Cloak)
Skills (104 points): Balance 8 (+12), Bluff 8 (+10), Climb 8 (+14), Hide 6 (+14), Knowledge (Arcana) 8 (+10), Jump 10 (+16), Listen 10 (+18), Move Silently 10 (+14), Search 0 (+5), Spot 10 (+15), Speak Language 1 (English), Survival 8 (+10), Swim 9 (+15), Tumble 8 (+12)
Feats: Alertness, Blitz, Draconic Breath (B, 30 foot cone of fire, 2d6 per spell level, DC 12 + spell level expended), Draconic Senses (B, +3 on Listen, Search, and Spot), Dragon Descendent, Point Blank Shot, Sniper, Zen Archery
Class Features: Fighter: Weapon Training, Combat Focus, Problem Solver, Pack Mule, Logistics Mastery, Active Assault; Dragon Disciple: Draconic Scales (+10 total Natural Armor bonus), Draconic Strength (+14 bonus), Draconic Toughness (+35 hit points), Draconic Weapons (Bite 1d8, Claw 1d6, Wing 1d4), Alternate Form, Size Increase (Medium), Draconic Wings (Fly Speed 90, average maneuverability)
Spells Known (6/5): 0: Detect Magic, Ghost Sound, Prestidigitation, Read Magic, Touch of Fatigue; 1st: Color Spray, Shield
Equipment: Cloak of Resistance (+4 enhancement bonus), Magic Shotgun (+4 enhancement bonus), Ring of Mind Shielding, Army Fatigues (Magic, count as camouflaged clothing, gets first benefit of Hide ranks, +4 enhancement bonus), bandolier of shotgun shells, Swiss Army Knife (as dagger, but reduces penalty for using improper crafting tools by 2), 50 feet of silk rope
The Edge: Meepo has the Edge against anyone who has a lower BAB than his own.
Meepo's a hit-and-run ranged skirmisher. He usually combines Touch of Fatigue with Zen Archery with his shotgun to wear down opponents so that they can't charge him. Unless he needs to hide in thick foliage or the air's full of flying monsters, there should not be a reason why Meepo isn't flying.
For unexplained reasons, Meepo managed to find his way into our world (D20 Modern picture and Dragon Magazine #359). While there, he got his hands on some modern gear and equipment after joining a militia. He eventually made his way back to the GM's campaign setting, and he quickly gained prestige and renown among his tribe at the Sunless Citadel for his "magic thunderstick" and draconic heritage.
*Note: I cannot find the Dragon Descendent feat in Dragon Magic, Races of the Dragon, or the Tome Series. Was Iameki referring to another feat (like Dragontouched)?
New Weapon: Pump-action Shotgun
Exotic, 2d8 damage, x3 critical, 40 feet range increment, piercing damage, 6 lbs. A pump-action shotgun can shoot six slugs before it needs reloading. It takes a full-round action to reload. A shotgun can have its barrel sawed-off to increase concealment. A sawed-off shotgun's size is decreased by one, but its range is halved (20 feet).

New Background: Dungeonborn
Given the huge amount of ancient ruins, monster encampments, and an entire world beneath the surface, it's perfectly plausible to assume that a significant portion of the world's population grew up in dungeons. You were one of these people.
Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus on Knowledge (Dungeoneering) and Search checks, and they are always class skills for you. In addition, you get the ability to automatically roll a Search check when passing by a secret door as though you were an elf. Additionally, you do not need to roll escape artist checks for squeezing through tight passageways when in your dungeon home; you've been through them so many times it's now second nature.

Cultists of the Dragon Below are your run-of-the-mill brainwashed minions worshiping primordial evils in fortified dungeon compounds, while the Emerald Claw soldiers serve as the pseudo-Nazi relic hunters trying to outrace the PCs to the Magical MacGuffin.

Attacks: Longbow +11 (1d8+3 plus poison); Longsword +6 (1d8)
BAB/Grapple: +5/+5

Feats: Ghost Step, Sniper, Stealthy

The Edge: The assassin has the Edge against any opponent with a BAB lower than his own.
The House Thuranni Assassin is a glass cannon: against unaware opponents, he can wreak havoc with a full death attack, poison, and true strike. But his low hit points, AC, and saves make it hard for him to fight in straight-up combat, and he's horrible at melee. If discovered, the assassin will use his spells and the stealthy feat to slip back into hiding.

Well, at least now we can kill him Tome-style. Just to be clear, this is a CR 35 character. That's good XP for the 17th level party that offs him.
In Sunless Citadel, Meepo is a 2 HP kobold warrior. In D&D fight club, he somehow becomes a werefleshraker dinosaur. At any rate, I'd give him the half-dragon class (3 levels) rather than the dragon disciple class.

For Elminster exp. concerns, there's always the option of using quest-based experience as suggested in the Tome of Gears.
For Meepo, I do not know the source of the Werefleshraker template.
How about a Kobold Fighter 7/Half-Dragon 3 sound? On second thought, the Green Dragon may be more appropriate than a Brass Dragon...

I'm done with Meepo for now, and am considering moving on to Count Strahd Von Zarovich.
I've been doing straight level ports for the most part (Soth is 17, Tome Soth is 17), but I noticed something peculiar:
In the 3rd Edition Ravenloft Campaign Setting by Arthaus, Strahd is 20th level. In Expedition to Castle Ravenloft by Wizards of the Coast, Strahd is 10th level.
For those not in the know, the original Ravenloft adventure (and the WotC update) is different than the campaign setting. The adventure is set in Barovia, a pseudo-Transylvania rural nation, that can fit into most conventional settings. The Barovia of the campaign setting is set in the Demiplane of Dread, several hundred years after the adventure.
Now, the Ravenloft setting wasn't really built for high-level D&D. I think that the power level of Gothic Horror should top out around Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, but that's more of a personal bias. I'm leaning towards a 10th level Strahd.
What do you guys think?

You know, I'm fine with straight ports of Forgotten Realms guys (it's accepted that the setting's full of high-level, world-bending stuff). Ravenloft's a different matter.
10th-level Strahd it is!
One concern: Strahd was a master general before he studied the arcane arts. Sounds like an Eldritch Knight to me.
But I've already used that Prestige Class for Ariakas and Elminster. I admit that the class is great for Gish builds, but I was wondering if there are any good necromantic gish PrCs that can fit his concept.
Thanks in advance!
Also, can anybody find/request some good theme music for Elminster, like I did with Ariakas and Soth?

3 levels of Vampire paragon advances spellcasting, doesn't do much for BAB, but is very iconic.
http://www.dnd-wiki.org/wiki/Boneblade_ ... ige_Class)
Boneblade Reaper advances BAB and casting, is death-themed, and can be accessed at level 6. The flavor is an issue.
http://www.dnd-wiki.org/wiki/Death_King ... ige_Class)
Death King advances both, has abilities that might fit the character better than Boneblade Reaper, and can be accessed at level 8 at the earliest. The feat requirements are an issue, but you can find parallel Tome stuff.

Feats: Elusive Target, Mounted Combat (B), Point Blank Shot, Whirlwind
Class Features: Succubus: Energy Drain (DC 23, no longer uses this ability), Spell-like Abilities (DC 20 + spell level), Summon Tanar’ri (no demons answer her summons), Tongues; Paladin: Aura of Good, Code of Conduct, Spells, Turn Undead, Divine Grace, Smite Evil +1d6
Spells Per Day (3/3), Save DC is 20 + spell level: Eludecia can cast all 0 and 1st level spells on the Paladin spell list.
Special Qualities: DR 10/cold iron or good, darkvision 60 feet, immunity to electricity and poison, resistance fire cold, acid 10, spell resistance 18, telepathy 100 feet, tongues
Equipment: Magic Mithril Suit (+3 enhancement bonus, +8 total bonus), Magic Glaive (+3 enhancement bonus), Masterwork Greatsword, Masterwork Composite Longbow (+4 Str) with 40 arrows, 128 gp worth of mundane equipment.
The Edge: Eludecia has the Edge against any opponent with a BAB lower than hers.
Eludecia would normally be CR 8, but keep in mind that her Saving Throws are through the roof. This, ombined with her Spell Resistance, means that many spells won't be very effective against her.
Eludecia is a mobile airborne fighter, even when in melee. Her natural flight and glaive ensure that most conventional fighters (orcs, giants, etc.) won't be able to touch her. She's also a passable sneak and great scout, with good Hide and Move Silently and excellent listen and spot.
