Thibbledorf Pwent - "official stats"?

[Dagredhel]

Has anyone come across "official" stats for Thibbledorf Pwent, the quintessential Battlerager from the Drizzt books? I'm interested particularly in how his armor and helmet spike are characterized, and what feats are used to emulate his unique fighting style. Thanks!

I know of no official write-up. There may have been a short entry somewhere that mentions race and class (CN male shield dwarf ftrX/brbY/BtrZ).

His armour could easily be done with armour spikes, his fighting style with improved grapple and follow-up feats (I think there's an "earth's embrace" in one of the Complete Books. That sounds like it would fit).

I found the Battlerager prestige class in Races of Faerun, along with an entry for "spiked helmet" in the equipment appendix. The spiked helmet does 1-3 damage, x2 on a charge, with 0 reach. The damage and the size of the spike in the accompanying illustration fall short of what I had in mind for Pwent--- his helmet spike is described as adding a foot to his height! Pwent's armor is described as "ridged", not spiked (I'll concede the difference is only nominal in terms of game effect.) The question is, what type of spiked armor would it be? Banded mail? Studded leather? In terms of feats, I'd say his, 'shake 'em to death' schtick would be best replicated by something like the Knife Fighter (i may be getting the name wrong--- it's a regional feat from one of the FRC books) feat that allows attacks with a light weapon while grappling without the -4 penalty.

Seeing that his armor needs to withstand some serious punishment, but he also needs to be mobile in it, I'd vote for Banded Mail (or Splint Mail at best), nothing heavier.

Or mithral full plate.

There was info for battlerager gear in the Complete Book of Dwarves (2e), but I don't have it at hand. If you can grab a copy, check there. It shouldn't be too hard to convert (though I don't know why you'd want to ).
