[OOC] If Thoughts Could Kill

Hammerhead · Mar 15, 2003

We are in serious, serious trouble. Can Verra still manifest powers while brain locked? Because now, all we have is Tukaar, Zelestine, Bellus, and Groknar.

Verra can't use psionics according to the description of Brain Lock. He can defend himself but that's it. It needs dispelled for him to do anything again (at least for several rounds).

Boom Boom Boom... Another one bites the dust.. And another one gone, and another one gone, another one bites the dust, yeah.

Hey, gonna get you too.. Another one bites the dust.

*sigh* shoulda been a bard..

Who knew that brain lock was so powerful? The lich has been rolling really well on the DC checks (I guess haste helps, too).

What you need are hero points, ala Freedom Force.

And it is down to Tuskaar and Groknar. Good luck, uh .. gentlemen.

We use 'Fate points' in our PnP game. Characters get one at first and one every fourth level (the same level you'd get a stat point). The fate point allows you to make a save when you failed if the player choses to use it. It also will provide a success for a skill check or a single hit on a foe. If you are hit with a killing blow, the player can use a fate point to only bring himself to zero hit points instead of dead.

Someone can use them on behalf of another player but then they're not as good (only allowing re-rolls rather than successes).

The Gm that uses them says it removes the worries and he doesn't hold back anything then. Works pretty good in play.

Why didn't you use Fate of One to re-roll your save, Verra?

Keia · Mar 17, 2003

I had instructed Gru that I would reroll saves but since I didn't hear anything I assumed that I had tried and failed. Either that or the brian lock prevented the Fate of One from triggering.

That was around the time of the dimension door and I guess I was more concerned about getting out of their and saving william and missed reminding him.

Plus my save was +11, +13 vs. enchantments (which I think Brain Lock is, not sure though), he probably rolled really well and the Fate of One wouldn't have helped the odds, much. Another chance, but . . . I'm not worried, you'll finish him!!

I'm not so sure. We both have a +11 Will save, and you failed twice, it's only a matter of time before he gets me with it. Hopefully, I will have delayed him long enough for someone else to pop out and kill him.
