[QUOTE="clark411, post: 2415724, member: 4768"] So, around level 12 or so, my halfling rogue is holding the party's Amulet of the Planes as he has the highest chance of using it properly, given his Intelligence 14 (this is, if i recall correctly, a 40% successful arrival rate). We misinterpretted the rules regarding plane shift at the time, not realizing the radius of 50-500 miles you could land off target, and instead had it allow either completely accurate planeshifting, or the random planes roll. Anyway... So our party is fighting a huge gold dragon who has a helm of opposite alignment on its noggin. The fight is not going well, as my halfling is in it's mouth, and it's breathing fire at the party with that very same mouth my halfling is in. No reflex save, bad. Unable to remove myself from this grapple, my rogue uses the amulet to get away. Glorious Mechanus! The fight continues on... our druid/shifter, halforc-now-wolf barbarian, and rokugani-now-centaur psion/fighter battling for dear life. Halfling rogue has to get back.. uses the amulet, aiming for the Prime Material... Arrives in Gehenna. Not a good place. The fight continues. Arborea. Celestia. The Prime Material, but hundreds of miles off. The halfling rogue appears upon the dining room table of the Main Villain BBEG Lich King, the Deathknight Henchman, and a slew of vampires and other nasty things. What they were doing at a dinner table given their undead state, I don't know. What I do know however, is my halfling is covered in the holy waters of Celestia. "I shake like a dog, and use the amulet." The bad guys hiss. Now i'm in that plane with the sky which is also land, Bi.. something. The fight with the dragon is still going on, and it's not going well. I use the amulet again.. praying. The halfling rogue returns to the fight, to see the druid get eaten. "I grapple him, and try to use the amulet of the planes to dump him in Celestia!" I declare, not thinking to stab the giant monstrosity given that it looks hardly injured and we've lost our healer. So, I attach myself to the dragon, and shift to Celestia. Apparently these things get will saves to not come with- Sploosh halfling alone in the great sea of holy water again. I return to the Prime Material, only this time in some strange room atop a tower. In the center of the room is the mcguffin referred to early in the campaign- the dread Sword of Kas. Looking into the darkness, I figure there's gotta be some kind of guardian in there. Rogue chugs his potion of invisibility. Unfortunately, Balors see invisibility naturally. Big claw picks up the halfling. "Why have you come to this place?" The halfling points "I'm planning to take that sword." Crush goes the claw. Ouch. Wanton abuse of Amulet of the Planes- I use it to arrive at the sword across the room. All that's left is to grab it, and use the thing to escape next round. So the Implosion hits the rogue. Roll roll, beats the save by one. Balor Roars, Halfling hastily pulls the sword of ultimate evil from the altar and lands back in the combat, which now is more like a rout. Later that night, the dragon mercifully spits out the druid's foot, and we get him raised. Hooray! [/QUOTE]
