Need help with Balor's (Fomora Hero) Gaze Of Death

Ha!! I can't believe I didn't see the extra 'fire' options available. Thanks for pointing out the blindingly obvious to me NT Jedi :-)

I was hoping too much that he'd use Gaze of Death as a 'pure extra' ability while still doing either melee or spell casting. Guess you really can't have your cake and eat it :-)

Sort of depends. If you give him a really nasty bow and get a Quickness on him - you'll have your cake and eat your enemy too.

I like the ideas that go on in your head JimM :-) I'm sure a 'Thunder Bow' can be put to some good use combined with Balor's giant strength.

Even 2 fire bolas (one per hand), with the giant strenght and possibly Quickness, would make good fun IMHO

Oh man that's kind of hilarious, Tifone! 8 )

If only Fomoria had access to Fire magic, natively. In most cases though the Thunder Bow will be best option, and it can be pretty sick in the hands of a Fomorian King, especially with Quickness on him.

And if you're going for pure carnage factor, don't forget the Spirit Helm!

(Bottle of Living Water, and Bag of Winds optional.)

Probably, but I was just opening up a funny possibility - with the easy reachable boots of quickness, that would be 4 bolas per turn (sent very far for the streng and very precisely for the equally easy to reach Eye of Aiming, Aim, Eagle Eyes

btw do they stack? I think they do) and 2 gazes of death I think. Something very close to a machinegun ^_^

About fire access, I think it's not a big issue, maybe he already got it in the pretender for a bless, but I think he can even find some fire mage around easily, don't forget he's in EA and bolas are just F1

I thought Formoians only have one eye... so the eye of aiming would !??*& (i.e. you would regret it)

Nice shout Tifone. I've never really looked at any of the items that have their range linked to strength to be honest, but I guess 28 strength opens up a load of options. And I have always wanted to test those Fire Bolas out!! Could be tricky getting hold of them though, since fire is not an easy to come-by path for Fomoria.
