V said she has no way to fly or teleport away. Feather fall just makes it easier for Xykon to fly down below you and blast as you drop gently into his waiting arms. Or perhaps he just has you drop gently into a group of a hundred hobgoblins. I am certain V have Feather Fall in memory. But Feather Fall is not an escape spell. V may even have expeditious retreat in memory. Neither will help them escape a epic lich who can fly.Another little lesson in humility for V, even the "little spells" can be really useful sometime?
and I have a hard time believing O-Chul can make Xykon's Reflex save - with no save-boosting items, yet.
Well, Paladins do have a build in save boosting thing called "add Cha bonus to all saves". O-Chul could have a +5 to his saves easily.
Not if Zykon uses TK to hurl him into the Snarl.That's it, I'm saving every O-chul strip there is. If I ever have a player wondering how to play a paladin, there really isn't a better answer. If he dies, the gods themselves will escort him home.
O-Chul admitted that Charisma is his dump stat, as a result of having started out as a fighter.
On the other hand, O-Chul is so awesome, maybe a +5 IS his dump stat...
DMPC?It does feel as if O-Chul has become a player character rather than an NPC . . .
