And he's fighting in his underwear. That man is a *TANK*. And he's aware of it -- deliberately getting the shark to attack him so he can go after Xykon. Paladin with a really good Con Score, a few max HP rolls, and a couple of instances of Toughness? Maybe the Improved Toughness feat is...

If the mother ISN'T Allera, it's going to be a real surprise. Dar cared enough for her to shatter the blade that changed his entire personality. If that isn't love, I don't know what is. :) Anyway, it's good to see more writing on this one, LB. Nice to see that Dar, at least, has a chance...

Wizard's First Rule, while not a bastion of originality, was a book I really enjoyed. The sword, the double-edged nature of magic, and the world as presented were very interesting. The rest of the series is absolute crap. Let's hope they know when to stop.

Has this town ever been raided by Sahaugin before? Or have a little time to prepare before the fight? If so, having a ballista or two that can be pointed at the water is perfectly reasonable. Or at least on turntables that can rotated in that direction. Possibly on ships in the harbor, if...

The issue isn't you dodging his hand -- it's you not being where you appear to be. I would have (and did, in the past) rule the exact same way. Unless the caster is running an illusion-piercing vision mode such as Blindsight or True Seeing, then you have to check against Displacement...

That was a pretty wicked fight versus Orcus. And a great ending to the story hour. I'm looking forward to the last post, LB... Another great storyhour. And if you're taking suggestions... I think the Savage Tide story hour would be pretty sweet for your attention next. (Preferably with a...

Well, that was unexpected. Staff of the Magi, eh? Now that's a nasty little surprise...

You and me both, Vurt. And I have to say I'm shocked and amazed, Lazybones... Did an arcanist just do something useful and tactically sound? Without dying? Holy crap! Are you feeling okay?? ;)

Now, see, for a series that is so firmly rooted in changing the past, I don't see a real contradiction. In T3, it was after Sarah Connor had died of cancer. Then, in the series, Summer Glau and the other terminator went back BEFORE those events and changed them -- that timeline was cut off...

Apparently, she's just chillin'. The last we saw of her (two weeks back? Something like that) she was trying to get up off the floor, about to come under attack by a pair of zombies. Granted, LB has some kind of death-grudge against arcane casters, but one would hope that she can do...

Thanks for the background on the artifact. Definitely fleshes things out more as to why he was a nutcase in the first place... I always figured he had read part of the Codex himself at some point. Well, I *have* been reading your stuff since the Travels in the Wild West story hour... After...

The only time it was mentioned was in the flashback to the past, when he was meeting with his friend. I'm not sure what it was supposed to be, but it seemed like a fragment of an artifact that has been embedded in his chest throughout his life. With the loss of his magic as the sacrifice to...

Actually, if you look in Transcendence (also for AE) there's a feat for Warmains -- the AE version of that heavily armed fighter. It doesn't help THEM to grapple, but when a creature is trying to grapple them, the Warmain gets to add his AC from armor to the check. So you get no benefit if...

There were graffiti images of the girl making out with someone that was evidently a teacher. In addition, I believe you saw her bra in her hand in one of the pictures, indicating that it was pretty serious. Also, each door showed more of the name on the door. She said something to Cameron...

Nah. Mord's Disjunction would have been worse. No more magic items. :)

I vote for the Battlestar/Firefly route. Less warnings, still gets the meaning across. And if you go whole hog and do all the swearing in Chinese, well, I suppose that would be about the only thing that could make me MORE interested in this story hour.

I always liked the solution from Monte Cook's AE line -- When using Escape Artist to get out of a grapple, size modifiers don't apply to the check. Makes it a lot easier for heroes to wriggle out of the grasp of huge monsters.

Isn't there a feat for this in Complete Divine or Complete Champion? The Paladin can spend either Turn Undead or Lay on Hands for temporary saves? I'm pretty sure there's something along those lines for dragonslayers in the Draconomicon as well...

Hey, I was right! I mentioned to a friend that reads this story hour that Varo's little side-trip had to be about finding baneful relics for either a binding or a banishment spell. Okay, well, it hasn't been confirmed yet, but that sure seems like what Maphistal is worried about... Still...

I'm pretty sure you're in house rules or exotic territory no matter what. One option that comes to mind, though, is the old Aztec/Maian weapons (referenced in the Savage Tide AP, actually) that were two-handed clubs studded all over with razor-sharp chunks of obsidian. I'm pretty sure there...
