Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.

What's the treasure list?

Also - One human fighter 12th, no equipment save two short swords, no magic, just to test something. Used 25-Point Buy, and the PHB.

Is my math right? Do I get a Munchkin Achievement Badge?

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.

You got the attack progression wrong for dual-wield. Neither sword gets all three attacks at the full attack bonus, it's +18/+18/+13/+13/+8/+8.

How are you getting 1d6+8 damage for the swords? All I count is 1d6 (base) +2 (str) +2 (weap. spec.) +2 (great. weap. spec.) = 1d6+6.

The treasure list:

The ring of the Countess van Krankzinnigheid

This ring was crafted by a dragon who wanted to run his own country. There was a problem, however; he couldn't simply replace the king (too many people around who knew him very, very well), he couldn't make his Polymorph permanent, and he couldn't quite be sure that a Polymorph he cast would result in exactly the same form every single time. However, the country he wanted had a King who was looking for a wife....
So he crafted this ring. While worn, it reshapes the wearer into a particular human countenence; a very beautiful woman, whom the dragon built a false identity around - that of the Countess van Krankzinnigheid. The plan was insanity: to marry the king, bear him an heir, then kill the king and rule as regent... while carefully and continuously altering the mind of the heir so that, when he was finally grown, the new king would be little more than a puppet for his dear mother.
As a side effects of forcing the physical form, the ring halts the aging process while it is worn, as well as granting double the normal healing rates for hit points and ability damage.

Oh, right, I'd have to get rid of the shield too. That severely reduces the Belt's usefulness to me, though I'd really like to know how having an animated shield floating around me impairs my ability to dodge attacks. If you house rule that the animated shield doesn't interfere then I might go for it, otherwise I'd say put it up for sale.

It maintains it's Arcane Spell Failure and Armor Check Penalty, it still restricts the monk. Now, an Arcane Caster, on the other hand, who doesn't have one, could benefit quite a bit..... not as much, granted, but quite a bit.

Edit: There's a reason serious powergamers practically never use races or templates with a level adjustment for making Sorcerers (or Wizards). The delay in getting more damage dice and, especially, higher level spells really hurts.

Well aware of it; was, even when creating the character - but then, I created the character unsure of what support would be had, and so made one which could deal with a fairly wide range of situations, including total inablity to get past SR. Sure, there's a Will save - but most things with high will saves and SR usually aren't so grand against the grapple aspect (dragons, of course, are an exception to many different patters....)

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.

Greater Weap. Specialization grants +4 damage.

I think I'll see what happens when I add CW.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.

That brings up a question I've been nursing along for a while... is the focus of this game more on roleplaying or powergaming (or just beating the crap outta stuff http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif)?

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.

I've been hoping for Roleplaying over Rollplaying, but I do adapt to the situation as it arises.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.

I would like a little more role-playing.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.

Hehe. Ooo, shiney magicy items... Think I could grab most of these items? Please? Gloves of dexterity I can't wear... But +16 AC isn't all that bad.

Hehe, funny stuff on the wall of force and anti-magic field. I laughed for minutes on end http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Oh, I'd never play it in a serious game.

Except maybe if we keep on getting more CR+6's. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Ashton: No. Way. You're already +1 level ahead of us.
