OOC: House Millithor in COSQ part 3

[Brother Shatterstone]

Kilcif begins to cower in fear and whine (sounding more like Grivak the Goblin than a Bugbear).

*sigh* I'll never be able to play a character with poor saving throws again!

Posting here,so as not to clutter the IC.
I'll be away at work tonight, but here's Kripps contribution to the fun.


R1:Fleshripper on Velina. If she is a Vampire (I'm not sure...) and, thus not a legal target for Fleshripper,what happens?

R2:Flamestrike on little miss upstart and her crew with a Demon Heart Vile Spell component: 25% chance to do an extra 10% damage.

R3:Searing Light on any obvious Vampires

I will heal with CSW if anyone goes down as needed.

Has Kripp ever tried to use "Fleshripper" on an undead creature or vampire before? i.e. before the game? If you have, I'll make up an answer right now. If not, I'll wait until it happens. Velina is not undead.

Since you have already used Fleshripper once, I'm inclined to allow you to continue to use the spell, but does Kripp qualify for this spell? My BOVD says Fleshripper is restricted to Fiends and Undead casters. And Kripp doesn't yet have a template.

If Kilcif's susceptibility to fear is an issue, we can talk about that.

First, as one of the two characters in the party that doesn't have SR (Kripp is the other), Kilcif is going to be affected by more spells than any of the drow. Kripp also has a much higher will save than Kilcif, so Kilcif is always going to be the character most susceptible to Fear, Hold, etc.

I would estimate that at least one third of the encounters (possibly more) are going to have some sort of will save effect that Kilcif fails a saving throw against. Fear Auras, Fear Gaze, Fear Spells, Dominate gaze, Hold, etc.

If this is an issue for you and you don't want to roleplay a character that is constantly failing saving throws, one of the options is that you could take over role-playing Marckarius Millithor (drow warrior I'm currently running as a NPC) and Kilcif could be sacrificed for cowardice after the Drow recapture Szith Morcane (presuming everyone survives the next couple of fights). Marckarius has SR and a better will save than Kilcif.

Thanks but no thanks on the swapping of characters, I planed poorly with Kilcif but I'm not going to trade him away.

I'm glad .

Kilcif could always take three levels of Paladin...

(or pick up an item that provides SR, or an item that grants a bonus to will saves, etc)

Ok. Your problem with fear will go away as soon as you become undead, too.

That's been the plan for most of the character made since then.

or pick up an item that provides SR, or an item that grants a bonus to will saves, etc

That's what I meant by planning poorly... I clock of resistance +5 is a cheap buy but I never made it, a Scarab of Protection is another good buy but I failed to make that and we've had plenty of money so I have no one to blame but myself.

*LMAO* Well that would sovle my curse, and con score, also...

Kilcif is going to protest though.
