The Rod of Seven Parts: Kauai Team OOC

[Ambrus]

Ambrus, having failed a will save, Maelicent should be affected by the forest's doom spell and applying a -2 to attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.

I'd assumed you would apply whatever modifiers you wanted yourself when rolling, but I can just as easily modify my listed scores myself if you prefer. Also, I don't know if the Al-mi'raj have spotted Mael or not but if not then I believe they'll be denied their Dex bonus to AC against his attacks until they spot him behind his tree.

So we're all being affected by a doom spell effect? Is this a common phenomena in the forest or something entirely new to Maelicent?

I also am uncertain why you have Maelicent's initiative listed as +5 on his character sheet when his Dexterity is 18 and I don't see anything else that would boost it up. Perhaps I missed something?

Heh. I'm uncertain as well. Consequently I've changed it.

No, no, no. They are dire Jackalopes.

 

[Voadam]

Dire Jackalope

 

[Ambrus]

I beg to differ.

I never thought I'd ever encounter an Al-mi'raj during my entire gaming carreer. They're in the same oddball category of monsters as flumphs.

Me neither, though in a prior campaign Voadam did have an unfortunate encounter with a flumph once. A Melnibonean/drow type elf diplomat served fried flumph while hosting and Voadam, having no knowledge of what they were, partook. "Interesting flavor."

 

[Ambrus]

Truly, I am honored to be given the opportunity to encounter and subsequently slay them.

I'm certain this battle will be immortalized in verse. *sound of crickets chirping*

So what's the deal with Voadam? He's a favorite character that you play in every campaign? He's some kind of interdimensional vagabond who reverts to 1st level whenever you start a new campaign?

He started in 2e back when the complete Fighter's Handbook came out. He was a myrmidon kit fighter who later learned 1e martial arts in game and had high enough int to switch classes to mage (we used human rolls from UA for a high powered game). He has a lot of history and I like playing him. I've played him in a number of campaigns, occassionally coming up with explanation stories for why he drops down into lower levels to start again and why he hops from world to world. He's been energy drained a lot, plagued by magic draining chaos rituals, etc. and done a lot of planar and spelljamming travel. At his highest he was a level 3 fighter/20th level wizard in a 1e campaign I played in. In 3e the highest he's been was 16th level almost maxing out the eldritch knight class.

 

[Ambrus]

Wow, that's a lot of millage for a single character. It's good for Maelicent though; he came looking for adventurers and he seems to have stumbled across the penultimate specimen.

I think I still prefer my original theory though; that's he's a certifiable nutcase with delusions of grandeur.

 

[Voadam]

. . . my original theory . . .

And Voadam's propensity to come up with theories starts to infect others.
