[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 3786313, member: 11146"] Rowan is dismayed to see his celestial aid defeated only a moment after being summoned, but smiles as his huge half-orc companion slashes down the kuo-toan responsible. With a shake of his head, the halfling wizard points his hand, speaking words of arcane power. Across the water on the platform, a golden orb appears, immediately bursting into a cloud of gleaming, sparkling particles that covers both the elderly priest and his two guards. The old priest continues on, unaffected by the golden dust that now lights his entire form, but KT1 and KT2 both immediately rub at their eyes and begin making woeful croaking noises full of dismay. Both the kuo-toan guards palpate the air about themselves, feebly trying to make sense of direction and space. [sblock=Gerak]Spellcraft check result 12. Gerak's never seen the like of that particular spell.[/sblock] Arden focuses in on the old priest, other things going blurry as she reloads and fires again, determined to stop the spellcaster. The brown-skin gnome stands steadfast in place and zeroes in on the old priest. Clicking her crossbow's firing mechanism, Arden releases a bolt through the air of the chamber, but the projectile misses and lands intact with a skid somewhere in front of the wizened old priest on the platform. [SIZE=1][B]Basically, I'm rolling percentile dice every time anyone fires and misses with a ranged weapon that uses expendable ammo like arrows and bolts. 1-50% = the ammunition doesn't break and can be retrieved and reused. 51-100% = the ammunition breaks.
