The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

And Noom God. Man, that sounds familiar. I remember saying that somewhere, but I have no idea where anymore. 'Noom' just sounds neat to me.

Noom God= Dog Moon

Damn, DOg Moon that does suck about your character. No one could cast raise dead? There are 2 people in my party that can raise dead (Aurora included. She's a sorcerer but can heal and raise dead, long involved and interesting plot twist in the storyline) We also have a druid, and he has done a couple resurrections. However, everytime someone dies we have to come up with tons of magic items to bribe the drow (soultakers in DShai's world) My character is the only one in the party who has never died. This may change the next time we game. There is a really big fight coming.

Well, I remember saying something about Noom God in relation to a comment about dyslexia, but I have no idea where that was at.

I can get rezzed, but it was more enjoyable being the only person who hadn't died. The DM even modified the rezzing rules because we were dying so frequently. 500gp per level, lose 2 max hp instead of a level. Had he not, we wouldn't being doing well. Maybe it wouldn't have mattered if we always had the 5 players, but frequently, we only have 3, so instead of trying to do something to make us better at surviving when we didn't have a full party, he just made the death penalty a lot worse.

One person in the group has died 8 times, a little more than once every other level. Another has died just as frequently.

We had this one DM who was just as vicious, but the raising rules were normal. This meant that we couldn't afford to raise anyone. However, we still lost a level when we switched characters. It was annoying at first how long we stayed at levels 6-7 because of our numerous deaths, but eventually it happened so frequently that we just kind turned it into a game. I think we eventually stopped when the highest level person was level 8 and the lowest was level 4, funny cause I think we started at like level 5.

I believe it was this game that made us all [except that annoying DM] to change the raising rules.

Note: We made a LOT of characters during those half a dozen weeks.

Nice. Dshai is a rat bastard DM in the fact that he has plots that are in the works for years before we even realize it. One plot just unfolded that, literally, goes back 8-10 years with this gaming group. (I am the youngest and newest gamer to the group at 29 and have only been gaming for 4 yrs with them. 4 of the other 5 gamers have been gaming together for 15 years or so.) He doesn't try to outright kill us, he tries to make fights as challenging as possible to drain our resources and take us down to the wire. He is good at compensating when things are getting too easy or too hard.

My last character was Tharden Rockbreaker, a Human Fighter who was raised among Dwarves. He dual-wielded a Dwarven Axe, and a battleaxe.

It looks like I will have to start talking to myself again...

Yep, I'm about to into work for a few hours of overtime to help catch up on stuff. I'll be back later this evening, however.

With those avatars of yours, you might as well be the same person anyhow.

Hey KO- what part of Germany are you in?
