You got He-Man in my D&D! You got D&D in my He-Man...

So, I'm running a game and needed inspiration for an evil organization with which to bully my PC's. I was pouring through some old notes and found some inspiration. Of course, we're talking AD&D 2nd Edition old notes. So, update time.

Essentially, I'm building what I consider the most important ten of the "Evil Warriors" from the Masters of the Universe cartoon. My primary source will be the 2002 Mike Young Productions version. Now I know that building from movies & TV isn't the best idea; but I think I can make this work.

Here's a list of possible builds that I have worked out. What I seek are suggestions for improvements on or replacements for the builds I have in mind. Your input comes greatly appreciated!

Skeletor: Necropolitain human Cleric 6/Crusader2/RKV10

Panthor: I'm on the fence about making him simply a Wild Cohort or making him an awakened panther with some rogue levels.

Evillynn: Phrenic human Warmage 16

Beastman: Not sure on the race. I though about bugbear or shifter. Something (I would LOVE to be able to do Totemist here, but skill prereqs for BHA.  ) x/Beast Heart Adept

Trapjaw: Warforged Factotum 8

Triclops: Human Artificer (Hordeficer) 8

Clawful: Half-giant Totemist 6/Barb 1/Totem Rager 1

Whiplash: Anthro-Crocodile Barb 2/Warblade 4

Merman: Sahuagin Cleric OR Martial Adept 10

Two-Bad: Ettin OR orge with the multi-headed template.

Webstor: Ettercap Rogue 6

Spikor: Spiker (PlH) Warblade 6

Any advice I can get on these is, again, greatly appreciated.

Oh, a couple more details, the group is currently level 5. They are low to medium on optimization. The campaign MIGHT run into epic levels if I don't burn out. Thank you!

Skeletor as a priest? I'd imagine him as a gish build. I think there was a prestige class that used a bastard sword as a tool for spellcasting.

Really? Gotta find that!

The main reason for Cleric was to get into RKV for those sweet extra actions to emulate Skeletor's cheaty ways. Second is that I tend not to use wizards or sorcerors as enemy casters. Like I said though, if there's a better build (I thought about an Unseen Seer); let me know. The campaign is in its infancy, so I've got time to think on this.

Found it. It's Raumathari Battlemage from Unapproachable East

Well, got me some readin' ta do! I should mention that as the group won't hear about The Prophet Troskeel (Skeletor) for quite a bit; I'd like to shift focus to a few of the lower level (10 or below) builds. Any advice there?? Oh, also, should I try to shoehorn in Jitsu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Masters_of_the_Universe_characters#Jitsu) or any of the characters from the 1987 live action film like Saurod (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Masters_of_the_Universe_characters#Saurod) as a Swindlespitter??

I did a lot of work on a He-Man setting; it primarily drew from the Filmation cartoons.  I'm not working on it any longer but you might find it useful.  http://ralp.net/dungeons/he-man/

You definitely took things in an interesting direction! I will definitely be picking this over. Blast fax kudos all around!
