    Tactical necessity. Survival of the fittest. As far as the Legion knows, Skald was handed over to legitimate authority figures. Well he really was "donated" into indentured servitude. Euthanasia -- I mean she was in a lot of pain at the time.

    Monday Morning Preview 1. Continuing their merry foray into the Isle of Dread the party comes upon an "innocent" Diplodocus beset by mob of hungry Terror Birds. Though Urol whines that we need to save the dinosaur, the Legion abides by its Prime Directive: "There is no such thing as innocence...

    That's what we thought too, but it's in the rules.

    Bardic Fascinate ability & combat

    Under the Bardic Fascinate ability, it states, If you get a surprise round and combat has not started, can you use this ability? If you don't get a surprise round but go first in initiative before any of your allies attack, can you use this ability? Any of this supported by Sage Advice...

    Sunday Night Update 1. Remember this little gem that I posted previously? [/i] Freakin' A man, freakin' A. The Legion was fully prepped for battle, optimized for crushing plants, and had adequate intelligence for a masterful surgical strike. The Mothership didn't stand a chance. We were the...

    Precisely, that which does not TPK us only serves to make us stronger. After that battle, the cogs of strategy were already turning in my head and I'm sure in Joachim's and other party members. Oh, we'll be ready for those green bastards next time . . . @ First I thought you were joking but...

    We'll have to check w/ JD but I would venture to guess probably not. Well, nobody likes Avner as he is a royal pain in the ass. Plus I was able to "dispose" of him in such a unique way that was so delightfully ironic that I couldn't resist. Besides, I've heard he's got an uncle on Farshore...

    Sunday Night Update 1. Deeply sorry for the immense suffering they caused the Jade Ravens by slaying half their number, the Legion provides restitution. "I bring a gift: these two NPCs." 2. As a pirate ship closes in on them, the Legion demonstrates why arcane spells have clearly obsoleted...

    Sunday Night Update TOMB RAIDERS!!! Thrisp, Samson, Anwar, Basil, Marius, and Urol set off to see the wonderful ruins of Tamoachan. 1. With advance warning re: the basilisk, it goes down fast and hard. The question is this, we have a couple of unused stone salves so should we "free" some...

    I don't know, I certainly think there is at least a "bit" of intra-party tension. Prime examples include the killing of the gnomish illusionist/taxidermist, the sending of Kaskus the Druid to his death, and the attempted expidted trial of Skald. Of course, we emerged with a consensus opinion...

    When you are on a ship, you are essentially in a closed environment. We will be (presumably) sailing together for three months. We need to exert greater care for nothing else then to prevent a mutiny. Besides, just because I fingered Skald doesn't mean I can't accuse more people of unsavory...

    Well . . . ummmm . . . about that . . . You'll just have to wait until the next update! ;) Let me just say (and I agree w/ Schmoe), I believe that Anwar is irrevocably evil. Even worse than individuals like heads of demonic cults who believe in "evil" as a tangible concept, Anwar is totally...

    Funny thing, I actually looked up both of those on Wikipedia before I posted. The first commandment was an obvious botch on my part . . . probably it was too late at night. However, the ninth commandment was correct for the Jewish/Protestant versions (according to wikipedia). Keelhauling I'm...

    Sunday Night Update 1. The Legion takes out the proverbial laundry. 2. In preparation for the trip to Farshore, the Legion goes on a spending spree w/ their ill-gotten gains. 3. As we leave for the Isle of Dread, we meet Avner . . . and his horse. 4. A dinner on board the Blue Nixie was to...

    Speaking of that, a further review of Master of Masks show it to be ever more sub-optimal than Bard levels. Not only that, their BAB and (blasphemy!) skill list are very weak. Disciple of Baalzebub was another possibility but it halt's my spellcasting/song progression. I may have to stick w/...

    It's from Races of the Wild -- the replacement for Countersong for 1st level Half-elf Bard Substitution. The restrictions are as you say. In the next update, you will see it used for the first time (in writing) to nice strategic effect.

    Quite right. 7 ranks + 6 synergies + 3 from Cha + 1 from trait + 3 from Skill Focus + 2 from racial bonus = +22 When we were talking to Harliss I used the +10 bonus from the perfume of shendelvari along w/ +6 "aid another" bonuses from the party to get a +38 on my roll. Rolled a "6" = 44...

    Whoops . . . changed it. I accidentally mixed up the spell Harmony from Magic of Faerun w/ Inspirational Boost from Complete Adventurer, they are quite similar. EDIT #2: Forgot to add hat of disguise as well. As you will see in the next update, I think it qualifies as "combat gear." I'm...
