There's a "blind attacker" effect for Chayots

Well, its kinda confusing, but I didn't see it. MR 22 Mendeha wails away until the turn timer runs out, MR 24 golem fails his first roll when he probably only needed a couple to land a fight winning blow with magebane *sigh*

This is the way with MR, I have had MR 28 pretenders go down to a 1st round soul slay, more than once or twice too. I suppose given the amount of dom3 I have played this could be part of the course and just take note of the exceptional good or bad results. Then again...

Gutted, didn't get to watch any of those battles, so thanks for the description Burnsaber.

Dom3 is such a cruel mistress, it seems.

Actually, the Dom3 RNG is a common topic on IrC. Some people are convinced that it is bugged and generates too many "extreme" results. But you can never know with random..

Yeah, all that epic just tickled my "epic bone" quite a bit. I really enjoyed writing that description, it probably is the longest "In Character" speak I have ever given in these forums. The introudction post of Aramiel also seemed to net me some "reputation" from two forum users, so I tought that some people out there could care to hear about his fate.

It would be fun to see those fights, Burnsaber. Perhaps when the game is over?

[Baalz]

Coo...I be startin ta think the one ta sit on old Pantos throne's gonna be the one who decides ta stop throwin' body after body inta the meat grinder and takes advantage oh those that don't. Ten ta one? Twenty ta one? How much ye fools be willin ta pay fer this frozen patch o land now that the frozen lady no longer be in the runnin?

Well, I had to spread some love your way too. It'd be hardly fair if underwater realms were inaffected when the land above is in flames

You got off easy, you had the word, 'third', well we got, 'all'.

Nice to see beckoning and melancholy, even when I am the target! You normally never see those spells as no half decent player would ever cast them. Cost far too much in gems for the effect.

I went with every "third", because Raging hearts is a serious lockdown event and it is nastier to get a lot of stuff happen in single turn than having those events spread out on several turns.

(I origiginally had "Baneful Star" as the remote attack for UW provinces, but apparently that spell cannot be casted in UW provs! Apparently you can see "Light of the Northern Star" UW, but not a star that is baneful..)

Yeah, that is one of the advantages of being a GM. I can't win, so I don't need to minmax everything and can use those "forgotten" items and effects that are just not competetive. The whole ordeal of the "Sing of the Slumbering Elders" was just made so that I could show out the effect of a "Imprint Souls" with a octobless. When making Aramiel, it was cool that I didn't have to optimize him in any way. I just slapped stuff on him that made "thematic" sense.

I have devised a mechanic for LOII that rewards players for using forgotten/unoptimal stuff. You could for example get a boon by casting GoR on a Troll Moose Knight (for example) and thugging him out.
