Re: OT: Null has gone looney and wants to GM.
Server closed. One insectoid Ogre killed, one driving off. Kibin found out that DMing is difficult at any level (which is a good lesson for a player - don't make the DM's job any harder than it already is). Currently resting in an Extended Rope Trick 30 feet above the treetops.
Negligible loot of two Large Longspears and one Large greatclub.
Any Xp for the session?

Re: OT: Null has gone looney and wants to GM.
They're HUGE longspears and greatclubs. The ogres were wielding it as a four-handed weapon, I believe.
A CR of 5, so... 1600 XP, apparently.

Re: OT: Null has gone looney and wants to GM.
How many arms did those things have? Using four to carry the weapons, at least two to climb, plus legs....
So a grand total of 60 gp worth of loot (30, after selling). Lost money on that battle, with the charges from the Wand of Cure Light. Oh well.
Advancement Planning:
Would Improved Natural Attack affect just one claw, or both?
Possible Revisioning / later characters:
How reasonable would it be to gestalt my Familiar and Animal Companion (HP = Animal Companion HD, or Master's, whichever's more, HP = Half masters or calculated for companion with appropriet level of Druid Bonuses, whichever's more, skill ranks = that of a Companion, or the master's, whichever's more, natural armor adjustment that of a familiar, or the animal companion with Druid Bonuses, whichever's more, Int that of a familiar, Druid-speed replacement, and so on), similiar to the Companion Familiar feature of the Arcane Hierophant?

Re: OT: Null has gone looney and wants to GM.
Improved natural attack would improve all natural claw attacks, all natural bite attacks... just choose one.
Merging familiar and animal companion would be reasonable enough.

The result of me being bored, and doing a thorough comparison of two-weapon fighting and two-handed weapons.

Re: OT: Null has gone looney and wants to GM.
...See, things like that are why I burnt out on D&D.

Re: OT: Null has gone looney and wants to GM.
Pff, you're not the only one who tries not to engage in that  Ultimately, the best choice, of course, is what fits the character better... |
