Maybe now (after res) he will make beter decisions - and think before he does somthing stupid.. like.. OH - i dont know jump onto a flying dragon and chopping off its head.Klaus said:
Granted - that did not cause it to plummet out of the sky.. but under normal circumstances it would have...
Under normal circumstances Roy would probably have survived the fall- he was unharmed before the meteor swarm hit him, and he almost certainly has over 100hp. Admittedly, so would Xykon even without flying (a whole lot of d12 Hit Dice), but it takes out the dragon.Balgus said:

Hey, Roy did the best he could with what he had to work with. I think he made a pretty good showing of himself considering he was most likely facing an Epic CR threat.Balgus said:
He's a melee-centric guy with the only real means of hurting the Big Bad, who was flying, meaning tactically Roy would have been limited to Readied actions for a single melee attack, and even that was only against the undead dragon. Which the group also was expecting a straight-forward assault on the castle, not Xykon swooping past their defenses on a flying mount.
Unrelated note, I and a friend were joking about how if Rich wasn't limited to SRD/OGL D&D stuff, then maybe the DM would allow Roy's player to do a character rebuild, changing Roy from a regular Fighter into a Warblade when he makes his eventual return to life

That and the 3 Xykon decoys from the Battle of Azure City were taken from the BoVD, MMII, and Fiend Folio (Eye of Fear and Flame, Death Knight & Heuceuva), even to the point of identifying which books they came from.Asmor said:
He isn't really that limited, he has made jokes about WotC being hyper-protective of their IP, but it's clear he can and does reference closed-content materials, he just chooses to stick close to the core the majority of the time.
Anyway, it would be a lot less funny if Roy rewrote to some class from an obscure book. Part of OotS's appeal is that it is understandable to D&D players as a whole, and having a main character have his character class from an obscure source (honestly, I don't remember even what Warblade is from off the top of my head, much less what makes it different than a fighter), and have inevitable rules jokes from that would cut into the humor. That and it looks like being a single-classed plain-old Fighter is something Roy is proud of, and his ancestors are proud of.

3rd party prestige class generally means published under OGL unless it is a special license from WotC such as the Ravenloft, Dragonlance, Paizo, or Kalamar stuff.
Flumphs are in the OGL Tome of Horrors. I'm sure there are OGL half-ogres out there somewhere.
Wing and sword points out the non-core WotC book stuff that OotS uses that validate your point, these examples are just not actually evidence supporting your point.

Hence the "joking" part of the exchange between my friend and I.wingsandsword said:
Of course, since (at least according to the grognards in my area) Warblade pretty much is the 4e Fighter prototype, then the whole thing might be moot anyways.
I don't get why the summoned marlin didn't flicker for a split second if time is dilating like that.
Unless they actually called the marlin... but who would call a marlin?
Or
Perhaps the marlin came back, but not to it's exact spot on the hook... but that wouldn't be as heavenly as the debate forum where you always win and so forth.
hm. someone must have really wanted to actually eat a celestial marlin.
