H4H: Red Hand of Doom (full)

[ethandrew]

Your game your call. If Virashil can use it, then it'd be interesting to see her wield a silver-dragon sword. But it could very well be handy wielded one-handed by Jonathan or Kirrg.

 

[EvolutionKB]

I won't be takin' it. I'll be more than happy gettin' my AC buffed when we are facing an army of hobs and dragons

 

[hero4hire]

I will rule that yes an Exotic Proficiency covers the Martial use of it. It doesn't appear to be to unbalancing.

Virishal of course could only ever use it 2 handed and could only get the Martial Proficiency.

Work it out between your selves. It isnt a dragonkin only weapon or anything. Its just Silver and White Dragon Kin like such weapons. (Its a cold thing)

Someone needs to use that sword -- if Duroin or Kirrg want it, go right ahead -- as it wouldn't be used to anywhere near its potential with a 10 Str Sorceress.

All who can use a +2 Composite Longbow should. That's an upgrade over anything Kirrg currently has.

Does Duroin have any ranks in UMD? I'm not too familiar with how Staffs work, but would both Kirrg and Virashil be able to use it?

As for the Gauntlets, the huge one should resize itself if it is indeed magical. The Ogre Power should go to whomever gets the worst out of this haul.

If Kirrg uses the magical sword, he'd like to get a shield, I'm sure, just to store up his AC. The different in damage between him wielding it one and two is 1 point.

Now, the dragon skull... is it large enough to wear as a hat? or to form into a skull cap or something similar? I'm sure that would piss off a lot of these enemies we've been facing.

Duroin will definitely grab one.

He does not. I didn't design him that way, since we had Virishal around.

Ogre Power should go to one of the melee types, I would say. They have to be used to be useful. I'm tempted to say Duroin should take these because it will give him an extra +1 attack bonus on two attacks...but Sir Jonathon will have two attacks per round by virtue of a 6 BAB. He has to use a lot of standard actions for his maneuvers, though, so he won't be doing that all the time.

If Kirrg uses the magical sword, he'd like to get a shield, I'm sure, just to store up his AC. The different in damage between him wielding it one and two is 1 point.

I was going to say that the sword is probably best used by Kirrg for now, simply because he fights with a two-handed weapon and the sword will be better than his greataxe. Duroin could take it, but he would have to expend a feat to do two weapon fighting with it (and another for power attack if he were to go that direction...and he doesn't get that many feats!).

Now, the dragon skull... is it large enough to wear as a hat? or to form into a skull cap or something similar? I'm sure that would piss off a lot of these enemies we've been facing.

I agree on this. Dragon skulls are just too cool to leave behind!

 

[ethandrew]

Kirrg will also take a MW +2 Composite Longbow.

I think the Ogre Power would be better served with Duroin, I agree. As much as Jonathan or Kirrg could use it, it would give Duroin the extra 5% on each attack, plus another damage output. Jonathan's maneuvers eliminate second attacks for the most part, but I don't see anything in this haul that shouts "Duroin", like the shield or wand or staff, respectively.

I'm leaning on Kirrg taking the sword, just because he has a feat to use. Right now he's doing +8 1d12+4 with his Greataxe, with a +1 Frost Bastard Sword one-handed he would do +8 1d10+1d6+4, then get any AC bonus from a shield as well.

With a black-dragon skull-cap someone should get two Gore Attacks a round... my opinion.

Virashil would have to use UMD to emulate a divine caster to activate the staff -- and she only has like one rank or so in it (she is very skill point poor), so it wouldn't be a good idea.

The gauntlet is probably like a spiked gauntlet or something for unarmed combat -- I doubt any of use would use it, so it probably gets thrown into the "to sell" pile.

Bah - why can't any of these MW longbows be non-mighty?!?!?

So, I'm assuming we are going to grab the gear, head back to Drellin's Ferry, inform them of their imminent doom, and then head out to take a look at the bridge?

Hopefully the folks in Drellin's Ferry can dispatch a runner or messenger to the other towns in the region.

Also, what does everyone think of picking up some mounts in town?

I'm hoping that some of the other places on the map, like Brindol, are bigger towns than Drellin's Ferry, so we could sell/buy some magic items.

With the black dragons skull, you should also be immune to acid, and cast spells as a 13th level sorcerer.

Now, how 'bout them giants teeth?

I forgot to add MW Buckler to the list

Virishal doesn't have the proper spell list to use the staff.

The Spiked Gauntlet is a Magic Weapon so it does not resize and yes it is HUGE both literally and in game terms. Bigger then Kirrg's head.

The Dragon Skull can indeed be crafted into a helm or a head-dress for a medium creature with a successful craft check. Indeed with a good craft check it would be enchantment worthy!
