[QUOTE="Joachim, post: 1427180, member: 9531"] 25% daily chance that it goes away. Rusty (Brian) had it for at least two weeks before he lost it. Couple of points: 1) If you DM wants to neutralize this guy (or at least put the fear of God in him), have the next Giant he is fighting do [I][B]nothing[/B][/I] but try to Sunder his greatsword. It only has hardess 12 and 20 hps, so it should get broken with 1 (really good roll) or 2 (average roll) hits. And even if it doesn't, your little dwarf friend will be sweating bullets for a little while. 2) If your DM has allowed the elixir to be permanent, then well, that's his tough cookies. EXTREMELY overpowering for a warrior-type, especially considering that Strength is considered to be stat #1 in terms of 'worth' (which is why a half-orc only gets +2 strength, and -4 in others to make up for it). That would be a terrible decision in terms of overall game balance. If that happens, then he better be prepared to put in a fountain of Wisdom somewhere that gives you +8 Wis and -4 Dex or something. Also, that +8 Strength is only for medium-sized types, and I am 95% certain its an enhancement bonus...so it won't stack with Bull's Strength or Belt of Strength +X. 3) Patience on the update, please. I only posted 3 different ones last week. SHEESH!! 4) Gautam and I regularly talk with JD about the campaign and its level of difficulty. Characters die. Its a part of playing the game. I just wish that it wasn't always MY characters that have to die before JD takes his foot off of the throttle :confused: . [/QUOTE]
