From FFC's paragraph about Sir Fang, if he was actually "a 9th level fighter", wouldnt that suggest the cleric came after D&D was being played?
First Fantasy Campaign Wrote:SIR FANG
"Originally a 9th level fighter (Dave Fant) that fell prey to a Vampire and didn't get away. He is treated as a Vampire x5 in value (he is today much stronger than that...sic.) and interpreted as a "Traditional" Slavic Vampire (Note Hollywood). He goes out in the sunlight does not have to be in his coffin by dawn etc.) He charms x5 strength, can use a saving throw vs. Crosses (as against a Spell of Magic). Among other things he has control of all the Dungeon Rats (he travels at will through the numerous cracks and crevices in the Dungeon) which he can summon by the thousand. My practice of warning players is to give them about ten turns where the number of rats watching them builds up considerably before the encounter. If they are smart they flee back to the great hall or "escape" into the depths of the Dungeon. Fang also has a Vampire Ogre (Dbl strength Ogre) and two Dwarves (also Dbl strength). He is studying to be an Illusionist and has reached 3rd level in that area, and 2nd level as a magic user/anti-cleric. His presence in the upper levels is well known."
