New Game of Death: Battle Royale of the GAWDS

[clockworkjoe]

Obviously I think that no one wants Quest to be that powerful. Also, might I add that Maturak would also be immune to Quest, due to his AMF.

However, the point is that reaper thought Quest would be that powerful, because no ruling on its supreme munchkinness was made before he used it. He essentially wasted an action using it.

No way I can list every unbalanced element in 3E d&d. I only get 5 gigs of bandwidth for free a month on slangdesign.com

meh, that's a good deal if it's for free.

though, where's my turn, dude? i can't wait to see if i manage to crit. fumble and stab myself in the face or something...

 

[Saepiroth]

wow, i think i hit him.

 

[reapersaurus]

true, but if he had done that originally, and Martok had saved on it, you would have complained just as much as if things had gone the way they have.

1) He wouldn't have saved.

2) He wouldn't have saved twice.

Some nice damage going on there. Better than a sharp stab in the eye.

1) He wouldn't have saved.

2) He wouldn't have saved twice.

why do you say that?

Martok probably could have saved. Arcane classes have good Will saves, and he's probably reinforced that save by taking PrCs like Archmage or Red Wizard. He has an Owl's Wisdom running as well. Toss in the obligatory save boosting items and I'd think he has a good chance of making the save.

Of course, many characters I see here don't have cloaks of resistance.

How would you know if they were or weren't? Many equipment items are not appearing in our descriptions. I for one believe that a magical cloak is absolutely essential. I just wish I could wear more than one.

 

[clockworkjoe]

Number47 is right, I only listed held items, armor and ioun stones for the most part. If I listed every piece of clothing and jewelry many people would be able to figure out every magic item a person was wearing or narrow it down to a few items. I didn't want players to figure out everything about a PC by his description alone.

 

[reapersaurus]

why do you say that?

*lamenting my first, 2nd, and 3rd character builds* He wouldn't have for SURE with those -
Gads, that was an awesome build .... *wipes away tear for the friend he never knew*

 

[Victim]

I mean when I see people post characters on these boards, many of them lack cloaks of resistance. For example, in an IC game I'm playing in, most of the posted characters have lacked items that give bonuses to saves.

While I doubt that Game of Death characters would lack such a basic defense, it is possible that someone overlooked it, or focused entirely on something else.
