    JollyDoc's Shackled City

    It is either the wielder's Fort save or the weapon, whichever is higher. Usually it is never a problem b/c those who approach Caine are often calmed. However, if he is hit, it is usually by creatures with natural weapons (no effect) or big bruisers with huge weapons (their Fort Saves are...

    JollyDoc's Shackled City

    Don't worry, I have a mini-update to go as there is quite a bit of resolution. You will soon learn Kaurophon's fate -- it is quite appropriate.:]

    JollyDoc's Shackled City

    Grimm just turned level 11, the others are as follows: Caine (9/2+1 ECL=12) Rusty (12) Tilly (10) Wathros (10) Kiko (11) New Guy (10) Which is why we needed a linker module before Soul Pillars. But it seems to have had the opposite effect.:\

    JollyDoc's Shackled City

    It is difficult to say, but the latest addition to the party is a destructive arcanist, so we'll see if it become easier. Wealth guidelines are not really a problem, new PCs come in with standard DMG wealth for their level. When I started my original SH, I had to post like six lengthy updates...

    JollyDoc's Shackled City

    The Passion of the Caine Kaurophon had lent them his bag of holding so that they could stuff the corpse of the halfling rogue into it. As they scurried amongst each other, administering healing magic and preparing themselves for the final encounter, the half-fiend casually looked over his...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 revisions caused by prestige classes?

    I doubt that anyone can cofirm it, in the sense that they are a WotC "insider," but I do think you are right. A lot of abilities from PrC had ramifications that the designers did not intends, such as a 9-20 Crit range from a Weapon Master with Improve Crit feat and a Keen Weapon. Also a lot...

    What is your favorite Indiana Jones movie?

    Although I though the first and third movies were great, I have a special place in my heart for the Temple of Doom. As an Asian Indian, I never get tired of jokes about how I enjoy a good eyeball soup or the occasional chilled monkey brain.:cool:

    BoED Voluntary Poverty Regeneration

    Of course it depends on your campaign, but with "standard magic" DnD, you have serious problems if you are relying on time to heal your wounds at 10th level. Also, there is no mechanic in the 3.5 rules for loss of limbs, so the "re-attach" your limb is effectively useless. And a ring of...

    Actions of an "Unbound" Solar?

    This is an interesting campaign scenario. But I guess the obvious question to ask would be: what is the Solar's current alignment? Since he lost his divine connenctions, he must have severely displeased Heironeous in some way. If this is the case, you may wish to use models of other fallen...

    BoED Voluntary Poverty Regeneration

    I see. I'm surprised that they didn't change the name then, as regeneration is extremely misleading. But I guess Ring of Kind of Fast Healing But Not Really doesn't have much of a ring to it?;) PUN INTENDED!

    BoED Voluntary Poverty Regeneration

    Why couldn't you reach a different conclusion? You could say that it is true regeneration except it is very slow. You still could not be slain by hit point damage.

    JollyDoc's Shackled City

    Wow, Joe, I think you just made my week!!:D I think it takes the record as one of your best updates. EVAR. I have a high standard to live up to for the final update for this module.

    BoED Voluntary Poverty Regeneration

    So a ring of regenration is not really regenration either?

    JollyDoc's Shackled City

    Okay, Sunday night preview. We are almost through the Black Egg module and we have a new PC entering play (for a total of 7). We had not one, not two, but THREE fatalities! Pluse we had one PC go to -9 hp before his life was saved. Keep in mind that this module is supposed to "buff" us up a...

    JollyDoc's Shackled City

    That makes two of us! I would love to see how he went through Demonskar Legacy and most definitely Test of the Smoking Eye.

    JollyDoc's Shackled City

    Well let me ammend my last statment a bit then. I prefer to play the same character if the corpse is still available for raising within 24 hrs or so. I don't want to wait for half the adventure while every one levels up (leaving me with nothing to do besides) until they can raise me...

    Help me build a PC

    Perhaps the thred title should be, "Make me a PC because I'm too lazy to do it myself." ;) You should at least provide a build for us to critique.

    JollyDoc's Shackled City

    Personally, in JollyDoc's extended campaigns I prefer to keep the character I start with unless raising is impossible. Such was the case with Pez, whose body was appropriated by the Erinyes. Following decapitation and skinning, his body required a resurrection, which was unavailable at our...

    JollyDoc's Shackled City

    While Fatality #3 was most assuredly stupid and Fatality #2 was due to a poor roll, Fatality #1 was downright embarassing.
