Strongheart, the noble human paladin\u2014known as the “Good Paladin”\u2014stands as one of Dungeons & Dragons’ most enduring heroes. Debuting in 1983 as part of LJN’s official Advanced Dungeons & Dragons action figure line<\/strong><\/a>, where his card proclaimed him “the most honest and brave of all the types of fighters” who “desires nothing more than a good fight against evil,” he embodies lawful good valor. A towering 6’2″ knight clad in shining plate mail and helmet, this level 10 fighter (S13 I9 W13 C11 D9 CH17, AC 3, 68 hp) atop his great white stallion is ever ready to aid the needy and smite evil, his deeds throughout the land standing for justice and right. Strongheart’s life is defined by unyielding commitment to these ideals: once friends with his arch-nemesis Warduke<\/strong><\/a>, the corrupting Heartstone artifact amplified their opposing natures\u2014Strongheart’s goodness prevailed with aid from elf Peralay and wizard Ringlerun\u2014while it twisted Warduke and others to evil; his loyal steed Destrier, a rare nihrain horse that has aided him in many adventures; and his +2 magical sword Purlblade, bestowed by grateful dwarves he once helped.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Origins & Backstory<\/h2>

Strongheart burst onto the scene in 1983 as part of LJN Toys’ official Advanced Dungeons & Dragons<\/em> poseable action figure line, the first licensed D&D toys produced in partnership with TSR. His card back artwork depicted the heroic paladin in gleaming plate mail, wielding a sword, and proclaimed him “Strongheart the Good Paladin. The most honest and brave of all the types of fighters, this human desires nothing more than a good fight against evil.”<\/strong><\/p>

His canonical lore first emerged in TSR’s AC1: The Shady Dragon Inn<\/em> (1983), a Basic\/Expert D&D accessory by Carl Smith providing 32 pre-generated characters (and 10 more special characters) for use at the titular inn, many tied to the LJN toy line. Here, Strongheart is detailed as a 10th-level lawful good paladin (fighter)<\/strong> who “aids any who need his help,” establishing him as a towering paragon of chivalry.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The module’s special characters section (pp. 26-27) provides his full profile: “STRONGHEART\u2122 Good Paladin, Fighter […] STRONGHEART is a Paladin, a lawful, good fighter who aids any who need his help. His worst enemy is WARDUKE. Years ago the two were friends, but the Heartstone brought out their strongest qualities. STRONGHEART, aided by PERALAY and RINGLERUN, escaped unharmed, but WARDUKE and his friends became twisted and evil. STRONGHEART’s horse, Destrier, is a nihrain horse, and has helped him in several adventures. STRONGHEART’s sword Purlblade was given to him by some dwarves he helped. Few folk argue with this 6’2″ giant clad in shining plate mail atop his great white stallion. Throughout the land his deeds have made his name stand for justice and right.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
