[QUOTE="DM_Matt, post: 451684, member: 1213"] Wow. Calm down. First of all, re: the NPC saving the day, I stated earlier that Rufus went down to get some special weapon at the very beginning. You should have expected him to return with something cool eventually if you survived long enough. Besides, all he did with it was cast something that Calain had memorized by never cast. As far as Elric freeing you, the SRD states that a net takes a str or escape artist check and a full round action to get out of, but it also says that it has 5hp. He said that he cut the net off of you, which i interpreted to me that he would cut the net. He did mre than 5 dmg, so the net was destroyed. The leader had a readied action to attack when Ubaar moved to threaten him. And he did. Ubaar could have gotten his attacks off and it would not have made a difference. The leader would still have survived. I can't find my copy of the revised duelist. I told Elric to post his. It is definitely not abusive, though. It just makes him something other than useless relative to the kind of dmg that you, Akharos, and Elone can dish. Yes, I nerfed your character, who nonetheless is exceptionally powerful both in absolute terms and relative to the rest of the party. I believe that the 30 was the round that Ubaar slaughtered one of the drow boarding teams. As far as former PCs, while Rana was used to rescue PCs in one of the many separate meeting scenarios, I don't see a problem there. As for Hermod, why not use a former PC's rich background to make a great NPC? Its not like he's been doing anything mechanically. Generally, I don't have NPCs just come in and save the day. That would be a bad thing. This was different. You knew that he was going to fetch some kind of secret weapon, and you know that thats what the Kraken were there to get. So he got there, and he used it. If you are patient, you might find out that it has some significance. I don't see anything wrong with that. [/QUOTE]
