Spock is THE
original alien. Lol. Spock made it cool to be an alien. Yeah, I don't
know. It just seemed to be the right thing to say at the time.
Is
there ever really a right time to say anything, though?
I
don't know, and I don't know why I brought it up here. Yeah, my
head's kind of shorting out again. That happens pretty often I
suppose though.
Herm.
I
guess I could start listing off facts about Spock. But, that might
not be all that entertaining, so instead I'll run through crafting
Spock as a Dungeons and Dragons/Pathfinder character.
And,
after thinking about it, that is a bad idea.
Why?
Because
I don't want to start an argument in the comments. Lol.
I
was going to say he was an elf (half elf technically, since Spock is
only half Vulcan) Psion following the telepath's power tree. With the
abilities we've seen in the show and movies I'd put him around fifth
or sixth level with most of his skill ranks dumped into knowledge
(arcana most likely) and his stats would be unusually high in the
strength, constitution, and intelligence areas, while lacking in
charisma and wisdom. (The alternate of Bones who would be high in
wisdom and charisma.)
As
for gear, that'd get down right irritating trying to mimic Star Trek
tech. Well, maybe not too irritating. Give him a rod of lightning in
which the energy damage can be controlled, giving the rod both a stun
and kill setting. That covers the phaser. A stone of communication
allowing verbal communication with anyone using a similar stone
linked with the same arcane “frequency” (basically meaning the
stones had to be made by the same mage).
The
tricorder is where I get stumped. That and the universal translator.
The universal translator could be translated as a helm of speak
language/tongues, giving its wearer the ability to speak any
language, period. The tricorder might translate as a stone of
perception, giving the user a bonus to their natural perception
skill, and maybe granting them ranks in knowledge relating to what
the stone picks up? I don't know.
An
orb of perception, maybe?
I
dunno.
If
I get bored at some point I might really work up stats for both the
vulcan race and Spock as a character. If I do that, though, I'll also
have to work up the stats for an airship version of the Enterprise.
And, I could see this going a very long way.
Oy
vey.
I
don't know.
I'm
just going to call it a night.
