Message: <blockquote data-quote="Moon-Lancer" data-source="post: 3536028" data-attributes="member: 35798">We have been playing in a campaign were the dm randomly rolled up a heart seeking amulet. It lets the user make 3 touch attacks a day ( sort of like wreath strike)It was my character that received it because he does the most average damage per a hit, and he has power attack. imho, this item seems a tad strong. The last encounter of saturdays session was a fight with a Stone Giant. Within a round or two the rogue fighter was down to 3 hitpoints, so i knew i needed to step in and give it my all.I turned on dervish dance, and moved in and with my first attack used the amulet, power attacked for 4 (two handed weapon) average damage 24. This went on for 2-3 rounds were the first attack my character made was using the heart seeking amulet and using power attack. The second round I also hit and rolled a very lucky 19 doing average damage of 24 and then another 24. In two rounds, the hill giant was 3/4ths dead. during this time My character was taking very careful preclusions not to remain within a 5 foot-full attack range. On the third round My character was hasted, So feeling confident my character went in and power attacked for a full 7 using the heart seeking amulet and hit for an average of 30, but missed with all the other attacks. It was then the the rogue who was still at 3 health, had improved invisibility cast on him, and he moved in with the sneak attack finishing off the giant (although the giant was mostly dead). somehow through this whole ordeal, my character had not been hit once by this giant, but was attacked once but the dm rolled a 2 or something to that effect.So i have some questions. Is a heart seeking amulet broken? Or was it the dervish dance? or a broken combination, Or just good luck/good use of the amulet?How is a level 8 party supposed to deal with the hill giant that doesn't have a proper wizard? would having a level 8 wizard make any difference?The party was a monk2 barbarian2 fighter2 dervish2 (me)beguilerrogue3 fighter2 invisblade3dragon shaman8some kind of tiny dragon (cohort for a level 8 character from dracanomicon)As i see it though, two things happened that were luck based that the amulet had no part in. 1 I rolled a 19 on a second attack with a power attack of 42 the dm rolled really bad to hit me in return</blockquote>
