Ah Shivering Touch... the spell of un-fun
SPOILERS for Paizo's Savage Tide
I told the wizard to never bring that spell out unless more than 1/2 the party is lying on the ground dying.
SPOILERS for Paizo's Savage Tide
We were playing The Sea Wyvern's Wake and we had set anchor down by a certain waterfall. The rogue went fishing off the side of the ship and reeled in a 7-headed hydra.
Seven attacks later the rogue is at -3 hp, and all of our hearts are pumping and hands nervously go for dice. We're in a bad situation, the thing has reach on most of us. Oh, man, it's going to be a tough fight.
My sorcerer 5-foots out of range and uses up a scroll of glitterdust. Hydra gamely makes a will save, but the dice like me at that point and it fails. So now we're still facing a 7-headed death machine with fast healing, but at least we've got a 50% miss chance on our side now.
The wizard takes his 5-foot step up to the side of the beasty, and casts Sudden Maximized Shivering Touch. Easily makes the hyrda's 9 touch AC. 18 points of dex damage to something with a dex of 12.
Fight over. No save. Round 1.
Turned what could have been a thrilling and dangerous fight into... well... exactly why was the rest of the party here?
