[QUOTE="Kaptain_Kantrip, post: 85826, member: 546"] I playtested these rules last week and found that nobody except me used their cinematic event. They either forgot, or no situation came up where they could play their event. I played "Reinforcements" and got a Vrock "buddy" after freeing him from his magic circle. So far, he has offered to impregnate all the female party members with his demon seed and refused to assist anyone with anything, and he teleports away whenever he gets bored. He also eats our NPC allies if given half a chance (2 dead and counting, but they were charmed monsters so no great loss). The only time he has proven useful is in providing an alternate target to the improved invisible undead wight monk that was giving us hell in Heart of Nightfang Spire. That alone was worth it, because otherwise our fighters would have been energy drained a bunch of times for sure. Plus, the Vrock doesn't have soul so can't be energy drained! He's great against undead, LOL. I suppose he would have split awhile ago (like, right after being freed), if he wasn't unable to actually teleport out of the Spire. So he's tagging along until we find a way out... Who knows what he'll do then! [/QUOTE]
