[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5030194, member: 19675"] Finally got to shake the dust off the dice with this PC! We've only run one combat, doing battle with a half-dozen or so Desmodu. Brother Sycamore did pretty much what I expected him to do- a couple of shots from a heavy crossbow- all misses (and no, no mods would have helped that series of "2s")- interspersed with buffing the main warrior with a Bull's Strength and an Enlarge- both Extended. Nobody in the group had ever used a reach weapon in 3.X (except me), so it was a couple of combat rounds before I could get the others to understand that this guy who now had reach to go along with his Great Cleave could do some serious damage if he positioned himself a little better. It was a looooong combat, too- a few of the players were rolling so badly, I joked about casting Entangle- an allusion to this same group's [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/267292-few-things-ive-learned-some-apparently-forgot.html#post4982834"]"Slaughter of the Harpies"[/URL] (most recently recounted in Post #8 of that thread). After the combat was through, I burned a few Turns Undeads to give each partymember (and a captive) 45hp back, with the "tank" getting an extra Cure on top of that (he got nailed with more than a couple of crits). Right now, though, the question is going to be spell duration. The game is a 3/3.5 fusion of sorts, so its unclear at the moment whether my buffs last minutes or hours. [/QUOTE]
