that's just eeee-vil.

that means you'll be tasked with making that mega-adventure!

Great sliver, Krish! You have your choice of a Ring of Universal Elemental Immunity or Dragonarmor of Invincibility as a payment for the ability to peruse the slivers.

Well, as I am allready immune to most of the elements (I have five subtypes. ), I think I'll go with the armor.

Wolf72: Ducks the boot.
*casts suggestion*
I will not create a mega-adventure. You will create it.

Here you go, one suit of armor for you!

sorry the only suggestion that really works on me is: Are you hungry?

Love your homage to the awesome slivers, Krishnath. My favorite critters in M:TG, heheh. BTW though, why does the Talon sliver grant merely Dodge and Mobility? Shouldn't it grant something more offensive, like an extra 5 feet of reach, or Improved Initiative, or Spring Attack, or Weapon Specialization (Claws)? Or perhaps Combat Reflexes maybe? Just wondering, since it's supposed to be more like a first-wave attacker IMO.

Heh heh. Talon slivers:
"Keep them at sword's length!" *slivers' claws grow about five feet* "Break out the polearms!"

I like the synapse slivers best, though.

"Species XR7Y feeds on the brainwaves of its victims. This explains why goblins remain unaffected."

Try playing a dex based fighter. The Talon grants first strike, and if your opponent can't hit you... Also, mobility allows them to move and attack without provoking attacks of oppertunity, so....

Frukathka: Thank you very much *proceeds to add the armor to his hoard* What? It's not like I am at war or anything.
