OOC: Endur's Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil

[Xael]

Everyone is Level 2 now.

That was fast. Lylamwyn updated.

 

[Endur]

That was fast.

You had enough exp to go up a level
EL 1+: Several negotiation encounters in the Welcome Wench and Hommlet
EL 1: Successfully leaving Hommlet
EL 3: Giant Frog encounter (x2 exp for difficulty in water and darkness)
EL 1: Avoiding the temptation to open the Gnome's backpack
EL 1: Healing Old Del
EL 2: Scouting the Moathouse

 

[Dalamar]

Kerwyn up to 2nd level, now ready start stealing mage armors et al.

Speaking of trail rations. I was assuming, that Lenya has free food and lodging in the Welcome Wench, and that she could just get some food for the journey from there. So, I didn't really bother with rations and such.

Okiday, Craven is updated.

"See the Unseen" is definitely one of the cooler abilities available to a 1st level Warlock. That and the unlimited Blasts are key differentiators that the Wizard doesn't have.

Of course, at first level you usually aren't facing ethereal and invisible enemies, so you usually don't have a need for "see the unseen" until higher level when wizards can take the corresponding see invisible spell.

 

[Thanee]

Yep, right now the darkvision part is more important.

And even though, there are incredibly few invocations to choose from, it's a rather tough choice.

[Endur]

Do you think there is an obvious visual effect of the Invocation "See the Unseen" during the 24 hour duration?

Like do your eyes glow?

Or is there just an effect when you cast the Invocation?

I think See the Unseen is the most useful of the least invocations from the perspective of really changing the situation. Beguiling Influence is nice if you like Diplomacy. Dark One's Own Luck is useful for survival purposes.

 

[Thanee]

And there you have named all the least invocations, I'll probably end up with eventually.

Hmm... I thought it makes sense, that there is some visual aspect during the actual invocation of the power, but not really during the duration, that's why I described it that way.

I only know of a single (compareable) spell, which has a continuous visual effect, that is Arcane Sight.

Thanee
