Fistandantilus | DragonLance Saga

[@DLSaga]

Thank you for watching today's Dragonlance Setting video. What do you think about Fistandantilus? With such a long and rich backstory, do you think he deserves more written about him and his earlier experiences? Leave a comment below.

[@rcschmidt668]

Fistandantilus is the #1 dark mage of his era, perhaps as strong as any mage prior to the Cataclysm. It goes to show just how powerful Raistlin was to challenge him. But even the most mighty can fall to the machinations of the small. A certain gnome with his Kender friend! 🤓

I love the complexity of the relation between Rainstlin and Fist...😊

[@fleetcenturion]

Raistlin was the first multi-classed warlock, decades before warlocks were even a thing. His quest for Fistandantilus' spellbook in Xak Tsaroth is even the perfect 3rd level warlock Pact of the Tome quest.

[@DLSaga]

Yea! It would be frustrating to think you have a weak willed vessel as Fistandantulus only to find out it’s Raistlin Majere. Doh!

[@makdrumz]

I believe that Fistandantilus and Raistlin are one and the same person. They must be entangled in some kind of timeloop. Even when Raistlin went back in time, we don't actually know who won the contest. It all starts with Raistlin being born, raised, passing the test, marked by Fistandantilus, blah blah blah goes back in times, merges with Fistandantilus, does not know if he is Raist or Fist and the loop happens again. At least this is what I believe from the material I 'very read so far!

[@DLSaga]

Nice! That’s how the authors dealt when they finished writing Legends. They have since come to a more firm conclusion.

[@myrtislockett7792]

You can say what you want but Fistadantilus is one of the coolest character name ever.

[@Argonova]

As one of the people who initially suggested it via comment, I'm very glad that you made this video about my favorite character in the books. You did an excellent job of getting all the lore details right, even though you did miss the events of the novel Fistandantilus Reborn (which is probably for the best, since that book deals with wonky alternate timelines and it is probably not even canon). That said, the ending of Dragons of an Hourglass Mage is something you might bring up in some future video, since it re-writes the ultimate fate of this character in a way that I'm not sure many fans liked, and it finally closes the loop begun by Tass in the Abyss, when he told the Queen of Darkness everything. She does indeed send Fistandanilus back through the Istar portal, granting him a body once again and a bloodstone (don't know if it was the original or a new one). She does this at exactly the right moment to change her loss into a win, at the cost of creating a massive time paradox. The outcome of this action raises all sorts of headache inducing questions about Raistlin as a character in the Legend books, and why he does some of the things he does, which now make absolutely no sense.

[@DLSaga]

I will do a show on Raistlin sometime, but I have to spend time on that one since it is so close to everyone's heart. I will have to look into the end of Hourglass Mage, because I don't recall the notes you made about Takhisis bringing Fistandantilus back. Thank you for the suggestion, notes and for watching!

Yes,Raistlin would be who he was without fis, but might not have survived the test, he made his own spell books at the end but maybe he would not have all that power with out fis, never mind the dragon orb that gave him troubles with having fis helping him out from time to time when he was in danger, cyan bloodbane would have probably ate him, if he made it that far.

If I'm not misremembering the timeline, fistandantalis was established as a lich before vecna, and much of vecnas later story as a lich turned God comes across as a fistandantalis "what if"

[@MrReevez]

@@DLSaga the earliest references the vecna in the grayhawk setting are just his artifacts. The eye of vecna, the hand of vecna. He was originally described as just an ancient sorcerer, it wasn't till later that he becomes a lich and then eventually kills and supplants a god if I remember.

[@knines4280]

At one point, before Parsalian sent Caramon back in time, he spoke with Ladonna, head of the black robes. They discussed a staff owned by Fistandantilus: & they use a "Prism" to "see" the owner. Again, they say nothing, but Ladonnas' concern, is not brought up again. I DOUBT she ever met "Fist", but we ALL know she met Raist'! All circumstantial, I admit, however......... 🙂

[@charlieocho2367]

The master of past and present wore all 3 robes, also I believe that Fistandantilus won the battle of Raistlins body but the spell didn't work as he had planned. The clue to this is in the title of the book the soulforge. The spell forged the souls of both Fistandantilus and Raistlin together creating a hybrid essence. Also this is foreshadowed in the original trilogy where Raistlin explains that he and Caramon were one being cursed in two bodies he with the intelligence and no physical power and Caramon the opposite

[@fleetcenturion]

Technically, Raistilin _did_ wear the White Robes as well at one point. You're forgetting about the Night of the Eye, when he was a kid.

[@charlieocho2367]

I believe the proficy of the master of present and past was written about Fistandantilus not Raistlin. You are right Raistlin was a white robe previous to the test, as apprentices wear the robe of their sponsor who was a white robe.

Back in 1st and 2nd edition, Sorcerer And wizard were interchangeable. Butt in Third Edition and forward they're two different things. Wouldn't fistandantilus have been a wizard?

[@DLSaga]

I think its all semantics. The game mechanics were ignored in the novels after Winters Night.

[@Z1gguratVert1go]

@@DLSaga You're right it is semantics, in a funny way. Back then it was interchangeable, now it's not because editions change things. The way I would handle it is this: No sorcerers on Krynn. They just don't happen there. Thus anybody called a sorcerer is just a wizard, like D&D used to be until 3E. Besides, if we allow everything in every world then every world is the same. In order to make worlds distinctive, you have to be willing to say no from time to time. I handled this paradox for our Forgotten Realms game by saying that wizards and sorcerers have been around for a while but commoners (and indeed anybody who has no ranks in the Spellcraft skill) can't tell the difference. Also we decided that sorcerers are far less numerous because anybody with a bit of brains and the will can become a wizard for at least a level or two, while sorcery is in the blood and a "recessive trait" at that.

From what i understand raistlin would've probably remained a red robe had he not accepted the offer if he had defeated the dark elf ..also I believe raistlin had beaten fistandanilus in control over his body though with great cost replacing him as krynns greatest mage (after he did take on takhisis in battle) what confuses me a bit is the both 1e and 2e stats , in the module and tales of the lance box set it lists raistlin int as 17 and fists as 18 yet clearly raistlin outsmarted him , in order to cast the highest lvl spells one must have an 18 int ,how did raistlin his int ? Through his link with fist?

[@fleetcenturion]

There are a _lot_ of inconsistencies with the novels and the game stats. Going by DragonLance Adventures, Raistlin wouldn't have had access to many of his signature spells. My conclusion is that it was all bunk, and the game designers had no idea what they were doing. They also wanted to deliberately nerf Black Robe wizards, after just finishing a book series where everyone ended up cheering for the bad guy.

Keep in mind that the authors stopped relying on AD&D after the first novel and stopped referencing the modules after the second novel. They made the game designers try to make sense of their story, so I wouldn’t try to make gaming sense of it.

@@DLSaga Morgul said: Having played extensively in Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance, with access to the stats of both characters in question, I would like to weigh in. I literally just made an account to do so. Raistlin is the superior magic user. Elminster is the stronger character. Still doesn't say who would win in a fight though. As I recall Raistlin was a level 27-29 magic user in 3.5. Elminster was like 32ish...? I'm too lazy to drag out the books right now. What I do recall is Elminster also had a couple of fighter levels, cleric, and rogue. While these are tricks that help in a fight, they detract from his competency in magic(not to say he isn't awesome). Also, not due to power settings but character preference, Elminser was a magic item whore. Decked out from head to toe. Raistlin personally detested mages who overly relied on magic items. Like Elminster. So he kept his to a minium so as to rely solely upon his own abilities. Elminter gets further boosts being a Chosen of Mystra; Raistlin killed his gods(ALL of them) in an alternate timeline and they never forgave him that fact. So Elminster gets an advantage there as well. Returning to the subject of magic items again, just because Raistlin was disdainful doesn't mean he was foolish. The artifact Staff of Magius, and the Orb of Dragonkind just to name a few. With an endless army of dragons and the likes of Wyrms like Cyan Bloodbane and Whisper, he could do much to weaken his worthy adversary long before he ever cast a single spell. People have also touted Elminster's long history of kicking ass and taking names. Nothing has been said of his ability to chew bubblegum, though. Raistlin actually wins this argument in the form of two things: the Bloodstone, and Fistandantilus. Raistlin absorbed Fistandantilus through the Bloodstone, which also possesses healing properties so that's useful, jumping his effective time on Krynn to close to the 3000 year mark as I recall. Again, too lazy to grab the books. Raistlin's abilities as the Master of Past and Present allow him to see the flow of time in the past , present and future and adjust accordingly. He references this fact in Dragons of a Summer Flame. So he has a bit of an upswing there. Also, like Chosen of Mystra, Master of the Tower of High Sorcery is also a template with some neat perks, so he's not deficient there either. Long story short, who wins? It depends really on where they are fighting. In Forgotten Realms? Elminster. In Dragonlance? Raistlin. Somewhere else? THAT is the fight of the century my friends. Nice post, and pretty much what I've settled for now, too - I don't think it's a question of either's power - either could obliterate the other after an exhausting contest of raw magical power. If Raist were to conflict Elminster on Abeir-Toril, the resources Elminster has at his disposal (including the favor of gods) would likely result in Raist's defeat, no-matter the nature of the conflict, (i.e., be it chance encounter or stretched out campaign ). Were the shoe on the other foot, however (i.e. Elmisnter challenging Raist on Krynn), Raistlin would undoubtedly win through. This has been a great conversation!

Fistandantilus won the physical fight with Raistlin. However Raistlin's personality overpowered Fistandatilus. How do i know this it tells u in the twins saga if u just pay attention. First off after there mage dual an one of them is absorbed its says first he is filled with lifetimes of knowledge not in those words of course but u get the point. Then it says all these other memory's flood in clearly Rastlin's then his says who am i. Now when he visits Astinus in the library of Palanthas he straight up tells him who won the mage dual. In the end he when Caramon comes to him in the portal showing him what his future truly holds he looks inside himself to find something an he does. That is the good still inside of him from Caramon Tanis an all the others Fistandantilus had lived so long become so evil what good was in him died century's ago. That attachment an love within Rastlin he keep buried through his ambition an lust for power as for why his personality came out on top. There are clear clues to the good an love still within him through out the books like how he treated Bupu. Fistandantilus as i say his heart was empty his soul was black as night Rasilins will and that spark of love an goodness took over as dominate personalty. So in the end he is both Raistlin an Fistandantilus.

i don't think it was love that stopped raistlin. it was the logic of seeing how he destroys what he wants to rule. that's why caramon knew he had to let raistlin know where he would end up. he ends up alone, truly letting the darkness in him (his darkness was greater than takhisis' darkness) destroy everything.
