[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 4627212, member: 2020"] (light humor, off topic) What's wrong with the railroad? The train derailed! Why? Because it hit the cute female wizard with the Stoneskin, that's why! Stoneskin is a spell that is much like Teleport - it has an unlimited effect, but only under specific conditions. In the case of Stoneskin, the limitations involve a deliberate attack, with something that is being used as a melee weapon (whether intended as such or not.) Stoneskin stops a certain number of those attacks, no damage accrues to the wizard struck at, and no other effects of the attack are visited on her (such as, she cannot be moved.) Well, once upon a time, an ogre - a stupid one - was chasing our cute, female wizard, and they stumbled onto a railroad. When the giant juggernaut of a 10,000 ton train appeared, the ogre got a great idea. He mustered his courage, jumped onto the engine, climbed in, threw the engineer out, and took the thing over. He would run the cute girl down! She, realizing the effect of Stoneskin, stood her ground, waiting. Since the train was being used as a melee weapon, the Stoneskin did what Stoneskins do ... it stopped it. The fact that it weighed so much, or that it derailed as a result, or that it made one heck of a mess, didn't make a difference (and only 1 charge was expended from the Stoneskin!) The ogre was not killed in the crash, so the wizard paralyzed him with Gemidan's Paralytic Missile, then bound him, then left him for some very puzzled authorities to deal with. Would the Stoneskin really have done that? It would have in my game, so it did for the cute young lady. I now return you to your Regularly Scheduled Thread. Edena_of_Neith [/QUOTE]
