Except for finding out she’s pregnant.
Nale is never going to plan a mere ambush to enact his revenge. His earlier plan relied first on isolating Elan from all his team mates, and then switching places with him.
I suspect he’s repeating the isolation aspect of it, and this is just an opening show. Roy and Belkar are already apart and in the Arena. Zz’dritz’s (or however its spelled) job was probably to seperate Haley and V from Elan. If he is as powerful a spell caster as V, and he came prepared for this fight, he should be able to go several rounds and then use Teleport to get out of there regardless of what else happens.
Thats my 2 cents anyways.
Yes, it will be an igneous deception.
I’m sure Rich appreciates your sediments.
Have we hit rock bottom yet? Maybe we could do with less meta, more fiction.
In that case, lets get back to the story:
Unfamiliar
Hey, he split the characters up so that none of them can see each other at the same time. One wonders what could possibly go wrong now.
I don’t get the “MAD” reference.
I love Thog, if only because he’s so perfectly archetypal. I’ve had soooo many hack n slashy guys in my D&D group that played basically that exact character.
Multiple Ability Dependent.
It’s true that Strength-based melee characters in D&D are overpowered, because they can apply one stat to both to-hit and (with ludicrous modifiers due to 2H and Monkey Grip) damage.
You, sir, have not fully groked how to min/max in D&D. ;-)
It’s arguable. I’ve had this conversation with a few people.
At high/epic levels, it’s true that HP damage is an incredibly ineffective way to kill people. However, a half-dragon Cleric (starting STR at ECL4: 26 unbuffed) of War and Strength wielding an oversized weapon such as a Goliath Greathammer remains viable from ECL5 until forever, because if you can pick up enough Feats to dispel the crap out of your opponent, you can beat him to death with your giant hammer.
And most importantly, very few GMs will forbid you to play the character until after you’ve broken his campaign setting apart, unlike more obviously-cheesy archetypes. :)
