Heroes of the Lance/Characters

All the character portraits in this page are from the Sega Master System port.

Magicians
The two magicians in Heroes of the Lance are the most important character, because of the vast array of special powers they can use. In order to use their magic without risking their life, Goldmoon and Raistlin should be in the front line (upper row); only if absolutely necessary, they should be the active character (upper-left).

Goldmoon, the cleric
The Blue Crystal Staff can be a deadly weapon if used (literally, with the "Use" command) against the most evil creature.

If Goldmoon dies, her Blue Crystal Staff can be picked up by Riverwind, Caramon, or Sturm. It is impossible to clear the game without this item. The spells available only to Goldmoon are highlighted in green.

Raistlin, the mage
When Raistlin tries and jump over a pit, he will automatically fly across it, unless the pit is too large.

Fighters


The six fighter characters in the game are rather interchangeable, depending on your playing style.

In the following table, characters are sorted by decreasing strength.

Caramon's spear and Flint's throwing axe should be picked up after every time they are thrown. Arrows and pellets are used up, but quivers and pouches can be found through the game.
