handless cleric(small rant)

[Kalen_Darkstar]

Okay if you have read my last two threads you know that my cleric lost his left hand and various party members to a large number of nefarious traps. well tonight's game session certainly followed suit. We are/were playing the original temple of elemental evil. Okay first off we managed to find the golden orb. We being me and the barbarian who were the only ones left. we met up with two new characters and then we started searching for the stones in the poem. I find some stones on a shelf and something is suppressing my detect magic so i figure the stones might be these we have found. with my good hand i reach out and boom another trap i am now stump boy the handless wonder.

we try to leave the area and get attacked by zug apparently our two newest party members didnt look for alternate entrances and blew up the sealed doors that kept her locked in. after a furious battle we are all seriously wounded so the barbarian who has a fear of all non weapon/armor magic items decides to buy our freedom with the orb. She became a life long thrall to zug. Zug is now free and holding a powerful artifact. and i still have no hands.

Oh man, sometimes I forget just how cruel the Temple of Inexplicable Evil really was.

I guess the moral of this story is, if you aren't sure whether it'll blow up, make someone else pick it up first. Or at least give it a good poke with a long stick. Your cleric should do a public service announcement for that, y'know; travel around to the various towns, educate the next generation of adventurers...

And just how does one manage somatic gestures without hands?

Still spell. Lots of them. O'....darn...you still have to hold up your Holy Symbol for everyone to see...

Well, so much for that cleric.

That's not a hook but a holy symbol!

That is rough and unless you work with you DM and do something, time to send the cleric off to some temple and start fresh.

One Magic Item you need....

Toe ring of Regenaration!

One Magic Item you need....

Toe ring of Regenaration!

except as written...rings of regeneration don't work like they used to.

only damage/loss of limbs taken while wearing the ring is regenerated.

Well, at least you can't be disarmed. Err. Again.
