While his hometown hasn't been revealed, the wanted poster in the Western Continent for his twin brother, Nale, describes him as being a Northerner. He has since grown more mature and more competent without abandoning his whimsical and carefree nature. Also, he's been kicked out of every group he's joined except the Order of the Stick. The Drifter background is the closest approximation of Elan being a traveling minstrel. After giving it some thought, a summoner chanter would make sense, because most of Elan's illusions are illusory monsters (celestial lion, celestial tree sloth, sexy female half-orc, sexy female chimera, etc.). He is pretty much impossible to perfectly replicate in PoE because he relies on illusions, which are quite lacking in PoE. I'll have to get him something more substantial than his starting padded armor, though.Įlan the Bard - Chaotic Good Human Bard/Dashing SwordsmanĮlan is the first member of the Order of the Stick other than Roy and Durkon, and was instrumental in helping Roy recruit the rest of the party. Had I built him according to OotS stats, he'd have high constitution, perception, and resolve, and not much else. I couldn't find any playable god that fits Thor's personality or portfolio (Ondra would probably be the closest), so I went with the god that matches Durkon's personality: Berath (Stoic and Rational).Īgain, I optimized Durkon based on PoE mechanics. He is a dwarven cleric of Thor from the northernmmost part of the Northern Continent. If I ever go for Weapon Focus/Specialization/Mastery, the greatsword goes well with the arquebus, so Roy can fire an opening volley, before drawing his sword and charging in.ĭurkon Thundershield - Lawful Good Dwarf Cleric of Thorĭurkon Thundershield is the other co-founder of the Order of the Stick.

Roy wields a greatsword, like in the webcomic. I'd have to cheat using IEMod or iroll20s to replicate his absurdly high stats. Roy is the equivalent of a D&D character that rolled really well during character creation. Furthermore, Roy has unusually high stats which cannot be recreated using the point buy system of PoE he doesn't have any dump stats, in fact, he has high stats in everything.

Should I try to get him as close to his OotS stats as possible, or should I optimize him according to the PoE rules? In the end, I went with the latter, considering that this is a Triple Crown attempt (Expert Mode + Trial of Iron + Path of the Damned).

It makes perfect sense for Roy Greenhilt to be the Watcher. Roy inherited Eugene's mission to slay Xykon, while the Watcher inherited his past life's unresolved issues with Thaos. In PoE terms, Eugene cannnot return to the Wheel until Roy or someone else fulfills the Blood Oath of Vengeance. Roy will also share this fate if he fails in this quest, and so on until a descendant who inherits the oath fulfills it. Eugene is the equivalent of a lost soul in Pillars of Eternity, a soul that is stuck in what is essentially heaven's waiting room. Upon Eugene's death, it was passed on to his eldest child, namely Roy. The Blood Oath of Vengeance was sworn by his father, Eugene Greenhilt, to kill Xykon the Sorcerer for killing Eugene's mentor, Fyron Pucebuckle. The main plot of the Order of the Stick revolves around his Blood Oath of Vengeance, which is thematically similar to the past-life issues between Thaos and the Watcher's former incarnation.

Roy's skin color (black) suggests that his ancestors hail from the Western Continent, but his family is culturally Northern. Roy hails from Cliffport, a mercantile city-state on the Northern Continent. Roy Greenhilt is the main character and co-founder of the Order of the Stick. Roy Greenhilt - Lawful Good Human Fighter I've given up on Triple Crown Solo and decided to go for Triple Crown instead.
