JollyDoc's Age of Worms (Updated 11/30, Epilogue!)

[gfunk]

I'm curious, how do you make good use out of the Timeless Body power without extend power or similar? With so many other people in the party, wouldn't it be hard to gather all your opponents' attention?

You know, this is really an excellent suggestion and why I like to post my builds in public. I haven't yet tried Timeless Body having just levelled @ the end of our last session. However, your suggestion intrigues me.

We set some ground rule for the power, which is not the easiest to interpret. I think we agree that Timeless Body makes you invulnerable to effects in the same way people are invulnerable to the powers of someone in the midst of a Temporal Acceleration. However, I don't think you could Overchannel (couldn't take damage to pay the cost) and you probably couldn't use any powers on yourself. I'll have to think about this more, Sollir Furryfoot, and run the numbers. But I'm seriously considering it now.

Once you may have been the student, but now YOU have become the master.

Sigh....once again, you people see what I have to live with...+23 initiatives, never surpised, see invisible everything, Evard's at will, walls of fire at will, paladin's with six attacks per round, clerics with every buff spell known to man (or goliath)...what's a DM to do?

And he didn't even mention the psion's utterly ridiculous damage in this quote...we've got him where we want him boys!!

Seriously, this AP is built to be tough, and I am sure that we haven't seen our last defeat, or our last death...and not just with the campaign's two big-name encounters that remain (you know, the ones with the undead dragon and the man of worms). Considering the makeup of the current core group of PC's (Grubber, Hawk, Havok, Faust, and Mack), I would have to say that this is our most potent combination team-wise since the epic days of Entropy and Joachim. Lots of synergy, there.

Then again, we are dealing with the potent combination of Jollydoc's ruthlessness and James Jacobs' tendency to make up the rules as he goes along...

Alternatively, two very very very very very evil words that I never want to hear you say again...Mordenkainen's Disjunction.

Unless Faust has Timeless Body up, then feel free to disjunct away!

 

[Jarrod]

I'm looking forward to this. Just had our first two character deaths today... and in a side quest, no less.

Ogre mage with greataxe. 3d6 + 11 damage. Two crits... and two of the squishies had just gotten into range.

"I have 32 hit points. You're rolling 9d6 + 33. Let's see how negative we get!"

No spoilers or anything, but let's just say you'll be hearing more of this... Mordenkainen... in the future, shall we?

Prepare you players for much, much more pain to come.

For which I blame Elminster. If not for his little cross-planar tea parties at some Canadian's house, players in FR wouldn't have to worry about disjunctions!

Demiurge out.

 

[R-Hero]

Some changes are waiting final approval from Faust. If he's feeling benevolent enough to help Hawk with "re-training", that is.
