Doesn't matter. Undead = immune to Mind Affects. Whether they're mad or not.

Really? So I just took a -4 hit to my Wisdom and lost my invisibility for no good? Clearly Latham is made of heroic stuff.

Is anyone else getting confused by the lack of a map and possibly changing numbers of enemies and their locations? Not to nitpick, but I'm having a hard time following what it is we're fighting and where they are in relation to my characters.

 

[fenixdown]

I agree. A map would be most helpful.
In other news: geez, this allip must be a servant of the fell Random Number Gods. That's, what, six rolls below a three?

And we've gotten unlucky on our incorporeal miss chances too. Guess I need to make that crossbow Ghost Touch...

Sigh.

 

[Mista Collins]

Ghost touch might be the next thing I do to my bow as well.

 

[Insight]

Well, this encounter totally sucks for me. I specifically can't affect undead, and all the things we have fought have high will saves. So I get to run away and be ineffective.

I guess I could try to do something with the cleric I dominated. No idea what he can do though. Well, I have an idea.

Points of clarification

1) Anyone with a magic weapon can theoretically hurt the allip. No ghost touch means 50% miss chance, but you have that chance.

2) The allip's hypnosis effect can't last more than 8 rounds. Don't run. We'll snap out of it soon.

3) Even if you can't fly up to hit the allip, it can't hurt US anymore unless it comes down. And if it does that, it breaks the Fascination effect, freeing us.

In summary, this is nowhere near as bad as it looks, folks. Don't panic.

Magic weapons are nice and all, but our record for miss chances isn't so hot. Well, actually, our record for any kind of roll's not so hot. Seriously, my 30% critical chance is sitting here rusting. Remind me to come back as a fatespinner when I die.

I also make note of the part of the rule for fascination where it says

A fascinated creature’s ally may shake it free of the spell as a standard action.

Incidentally, I can't help but notice the apparent total lack of ability to restore ability drain in our party. Anyone got a restoration I'm missing?

Good catch on that SRD quote!

And I thought we had a cleric or something among us...didn't we?

If not, that would be troubling. Undead are really irritating with no cleric.

Meep.
