D&D Vulcans
As I was reading Vulcans, I got to thinking about what this crew would look like if they were D&D characters. It turns out they actually make a pretty kick-ass party. You got two fighters, two mages, a cleric, and a monk.
(Note to all geeks: It has been 20 years since I played pen-and-paper D&D, and I'm not familiar with the new rules. For instance, I've kept the old armor class style because I don't understand how to calculate the new one, and frankly, it's a little too much trouble for this whimsical exercise. Feel free to leave comments with suggestions or corrections.)
