Re: Re: Re
I agree on the "E" but not on the NPC. If you were to take out the "N" there though it would work for my idea. Yet, there is a problem with the whole use of She throughout. It might be the Mind Flayer sometimes and other times I think it's the dark personage. But in the GrayHawk "World" there are plenty of ways to get around that. Not to mention the possession thing.
Okay, please tell me someone noticed my little trick in there.

No, I don't think this is Accessiwall, this creature must be a remains of the Cult of Tharizdun. Also, her name will begin with an "E", not the "A" of Accessiwall.
My best guess is a demon, I do have a hunch it could be a certain NPC from RttToEE.

Multishot is a regular feat although it's in the epic book.
Malachai_rose, read the grappling rules. Base Attack figures into grapple checks. You can't coup de grace grappled or pinned characters. Attempting to grapple 10th level characters would probably improve the more martial characters kill rates while decreasing the damage they take.
The best way to take out powerful characters with troops is with mass missile fire. The simple mechanic of natural 20 = hit means that volleys aimed at a single target will do lots of damage.
The main benefit for the elite characters isn't that the ordinary defenders will kill lots of the enemy. When it comes to killing low level guys, 10th level characters are more than adequate. The defensive benefits of the defending troops far outweigh the offensive ones. Having lots of troops would prevent the enemy from focusing attacks on the leveled characters. 1000 attacks on 5 targets /= 5000 attacks on 1000 targets, or 10000 attacks on 5000 targets, or whatever the troop ratios are. Essentially, the lower level troops act like cover and concealment for the elite characters. The high level guys take less damage because the others take hits for them, and in exchange can continue to kill enemies far more effectively than the lower level characters.
This is too long. Vek kicks but. I like the villains PoVs.

Actually Gryph has inspired me to be a Shifter, Vek a Cleric, and Shade just makes me want to beat things. This story has been very inspiring. Now only if I wasn't a DM ...
Anyway, I would ask if the LotR = Epic or non-Epic stuff could be moved else where but since the thread owner doesn't matter, I'll say non-Epic. (well, maybe Gandalf is Epic. Its hard to tell.)
Think of it this way. When everyone is low level, mid-level characters LOOK Epic.

I'll assume you mean mind instead of matter. Doc certainly does matter. In fact, he rocks. I couldn't keep my story hour going (just couldn't make myself do it) but Doc's been going for years now. That's amazing.
Besides, isn't it Mind over Matter? Vek and Gryph prove this theory.

Welll... I started June of last year, stopped in February, and picked it up again in Septemembemer. Keep that nice long hiaitus in mind.Lela said:
Otherwise, t'anks.
As for the epic Legolas stuff, I'm not really reading it, and I don't care... but it does up my view count.
