Gaze attacks

[Lamoni]

I am still waiting for WotC to come out with the spell Black Darkness, unpenetrable darkness or something similar that is maybe one spell level higher than the shadowy illumination darkness. I really don't mind the new Darkness Spell, I just wish that the old darkness was still an option.

Of course, if it's a normal Invisibility spell, then it ends as soon as they take any direct offensive action...



In 3.5, Darkness only provides concealment... so there'd be a 20% chance the gaze attack would fail. (Or, in other words, an 80% chance it would be just as effective as normal )

I thought there was an improved version? I dunno, given we still use the 3.5 version...

Deeper Darkness? Yup. It provides concealment, in a larger radius

I dunno, given we still use the 3.5 version...

I assume you mean 3E

Opps, yeah, sorry, I meant we still use the 3.0 version of Darkness. In fact, it's just about the only hold-over we kept.

I'm pretty surprised there is no version of Darkness in 3.5 that does more than shadowy illumination. Very lame.

 

[Testament]

Yeah, that's why I houseruled "Deeper Darkness" to work like 3.0 Darkness did.

Invisibility+Glitterdust is a fantastic way of dealing with Gazers. That or blindfight.

 

[Liquidsabre]

That's Improved Invisibility + Glitterdust I hope heh.

Ooh, I HATED THOSE QUTH MAREN!!!!! We went through that adventure a couple years ago, and that had to be the deadliest adventure I've ever gone through.

Out of curiosity, have you met the Keening Spirit yet? If so, I'm sure we can both agree that the adventure is meant to kill everybody who tries to complete it. If not, I'm sorry, but you're going to die sooner or later.

Nope, not yet. We've only just begun to examine the first drow city. We've had one PC death so far, but have managed to survive the rest of the encounters. Judging by what we've seen, death is never far away.
