Line 25:
* [[Genre Savvy]]
* [[Hello, Insert Name Here]]
* [[The Hero]]: [[But Thou Must!|You WILL save the realm, regardless of alignment]]. [[Anti-Hero|Motivation]], [[Jerkass|attitude]] and [[Villain Protagonist|collateral damage]], however, are largely up to the player.
* [[Karma Meter]]: Added bonus in that it's got ''two'' axes, incorporating both [[Good vs. Evil]] and [[Law vs. Chaos]] rather than just the former, as in traditional D&D. Fan consensus is that the former is implemented well in the original campaign but the latter is not, with some (but not perfect) improvement in ''Mask of the Betrayer''.
* [[Large Ham]]: ''A lot'' of the potential character voices seem to be channeling '''[[Brian Blessed]]'''. Even the female voices.
Line 77:
Despite being more than a little thick-headed and stubborn, Khelgar is still incredibly loyal and has his own reasons for being off on an adventure with some random [[Chosen One]] from the swamps. {{spoiler|Khelgar was kicked out of his clan for abandoning them during an attack by fire giants, and they haven't forgiven him yet. Aside from wanting to rejoin his clan,}} Khelgar also aspires to be a monk, since the first people who ever beat him in a fight were a group of traveling monks.
 
{{spoiler|He survives the [[Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies|final battle]] of the OC by way of being pure [[Badass]]. In ''Storm of Zehir'', he has joined the Neverwinter Nine and watches over Crossroad Keep in the Knight Captain's absence. Later on chronologically, in the best ending of ''Mask of the Betrayer'' he is present at the Captain's wedding to either Safiya or Gann alongside Neeshka or Aldanon.}}
 
Voiced by [[Adam Sietz]].
Line 112:
* [[The Cameo]]: {{spoiler|1=In MotB's best ending.}}
* [[Cute Monster Girl]]
* [[Fan -Preferred Couple]]: Neeshka and a male Knight-Captain. Oddly for this trope, she was originally supposed to be a romance option, but that was [[Dummied Out]].
* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: Tieflings are humans with an evil outsider (normally a devil or demon) as an ancestor. Neeshka is specifically one-quarter devil ([[Lawful Evil]] outsider).
* [[Heroic Willpower]]: {{spoiler|If her influence is high enough, she'll resist Garius' [[Mind Rape]] through sheer willpower.}}
Line 180:
 
'''Associated Tropes:'''
* {{spoiler|[[Alas, Poor Scrappy]]}}
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: So very much.
* [[Expy]]: He carries on the tradition of an [[The Scrappy|annoying]], diminutive [[Spoony Bard]] established by Deekin in the [[Expansion Pack|expansions]] to [[Neverwinter Nights|the original game]].
Line 226:
'''Associated Tropes:'''
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: He is immensely popular amongst the female fanbase.
* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: One of his core principles. Bishop despises practically ''anyone'' who does ''not'' share this sentiment.
* [[Chaotic Evil]]: In-universe. Type 3, to be specific.
* [[Child Soldier]]: Implied to have been very young when conscripted into {{spoiler|Luskan}} military.
Line 427:
* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: Hagspawn are offspring of hags and human males.
* [[Handsome Lech]]
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Hey, [[Crispin Freeman]].
* [[Ladykiller in Love]]: Should the Knight-Captain pursue a relationship with him, he falls well and truly in love, going so far as to {{spoiler|convert to the worship of Kelemvor to stay with the player character in one of the endings}}. Some of his endings also have him settling down with a girl you help during the main story.
* [[The Lancer]]: Both in story and gameplay terms, as his preferred weapon is a spear.
Line 483:
* [[The Cameo]]: Reappears in ''Storm of Zehir'' in a random encounter. [[Fridge Logic|Which makes one wonder what the canonical Spirit-Eater did in Rashemen.]]
* [[Creepy Child]]: The soul leading the [[Hive Mind]] is a small boy.
* [[Fighter, Mage, Thief]]: Its function changes depending on which soul is currently in control of the Many. It can be either a rogue, barbarian, or warlock.
* [[Hive Mind]]
* [[I Am Legion]]
Line 827:
* [[Evil Gloating]]: It bites him off in the Good path and you call him out.
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
