Rappan Athuk: Ravage of The Unusual Heroes!

It's not even that. He destroyed boots of flying, a +2 weapon and other mild magic stuff. That is just being mean.

It's not being mean, Dent. You just can't cope in a world without magic, and THAT is why you are weak and soft. Stick with me, and I'll show you how to survive in this world without a crutch +2 or boots of the scapegoat.

Of course, there's nothing to worry about anymore, now that I'm leaving the party to leave room for another esteemed gentleman...

"Esteemed Gentleman..." LOL

I wouldn't be too happy if someone was destroying magical items before it was determined what they were either. I would be pissed and send that person on their way.

Nice to see Avangel there now. With Lathander's servant present, there should be nothing you can't defeat.

Pffft. Just throw Balagos at the party. Then let's see the servant of Lathander do anything other than A) Run away screaming in terror or B) Die a horrible and painful death. For those that don't know who or what Balagos is, just follow this link: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=fr/fx20020130wn


Anyway... Well, I see the problem as being more the Forsaker class than anything. It's a very poorly designed class, and practically requires Forsakers to destroy magical items. In fact, given the class, I sometimes wonder if anyone can truly roleplay it and not come into major conflict with other party members who use magic.

I think the Forsakers requirement to destroy magic should be dropped, personally. They're not a very tough class, especially later on. A 20th level X vs a 20th level X/Forsaker will always win, simply because the magic that comes into play in later levels renders a Forsakers abilities, which were decent at lower levels, seem downright paltry in comparison.

So I think dropping the requirement to destroy magic items doesn't really make the class unbalanced, and it also allows a Forsaker not to develop a blood hatred between fellow party members.

But enough about house rules. Nice post, and I look forward to seeing who gets to die next.

I would be pissed too, but I think Doc character conceot are GREAT. Only in this story, Doc Midnight, the half orc bard and the forsaker...

Great work, Doc!

Thanks Celt! I hope I can live up to those expectations!

When we are that level Balagos will be brought to Justice

I tithe half my money to the church of Lathander. I should start doing it BEFORE we divy it up. They will thank we when they have a place in the afterlife!

Given this campaigns mortailty rate, I'd say at least 80% of the current party will be dead by then.

Sure, it's not fair. But, given the Forsaker class description, you're lucky Doc isn't doing more then destroying new magical items you find. That's a problem inherent in the class, and metagaming is rarely, if ever, beneficial to the game in the long run. My suggestion would be to change the class, if Inmir ever returns.

Until then, it's like complaining "Dammit Peter (the Paladin), why did you have to give away that unholy artifact to your church? It was a +12 Hackmaster, for the love of BANE!"

Forsakers are similiar to Paladins in that they will often take actions contrary to the parties "best interest" in order to further their own agenda, as it defines who they are and how they live, and to deviate from it would have grave consequences. Less so in the Forsakers case, I suppose, but it's still there.

Guess I'm lucky. Our party always destroys the powerful evil artifacts so no problem

Now if Lox would only stop stealing and lying! I have my job cut out for me!
