why put half elf in that equation?Originally Posted by thegirth
Whoa, someone's here! Hello, stranger.
hooooly anxious much?!?!?!
Lol, since this is somewhat breathing, I must know. Where are we on the game? I havent seen anyone on IM or MSN for a while. Im getting sad
I actually also wonder about Great Cleave, it's cinematic and all that but if there are enough mooks to the point where Great Cleave is useful, then you're in no real danger anyway.why put half elf in that equation?
Elves get bouneses and move silently bouneses and such. Being a half-elf still grants you this without the major strength deductions. And great cleave is just asskicken'.
the only move silently bonus an elf gets is due to the +2 dex, which a half-elf does not get.
the online game has suffered because i'm never home right now....family stuff going on but once i get more stable i will try and get it organized
great cleave is good for those people who like to max out their strength, always use a two-handed weapon, and say things like 'MARAGH SMASH' a lot in character.
LOL
oUR PARTY GOT WIPED OUT BY ANOTHER PARTY MEMBER. :d

Don't go bashin' Great Cleave! With my one fighter character that I have, Great Cleave is excellent, especially since most of what we fight are little pukes in the army that are basically just there for effect. You know. They're not worth the fight. And if your two-wielding, with Great Cleave and a few others, nothing can stop you. Deliciousness.
(and the one thing all my chars have is high dex, str, and int. Con depends on what I rolled and what class it is. So str is kinda a given. I'm the only wizard that has a natural str of 17!)
On of the funniest lines ever in a game
DM: All right, the orc steps up to you and draws a sword.
Player: All right I swing at him. How much damage do I do?
DM: well, since it's an unarmed--
Player: No, no, I swing with the orc. How much damage do I do?

i would rule it subdual damage unless the orc was wearin lots of armour...heheheh
Technically not supposed to be able to do that, but I'm all for bending the rules when the situation warrants.
I had a Drunken Master in the game I was running once who grappled down an enemy wizard and proceeded to beat the monk with him. I counted it as an improvised weapon, and he was doing quite a bit of damage with it. I ruled half-damage to the wizard. Pretty much ruined the encounter (what with the failed Will save sending the cleric fleeing to the toilet), but it was fun.
It also set the precedent of the Drunken Master using enemies to club other enemies to death.
That sounded like the best batle ever, Void. xD
I haven't played D&D in... gosh, almost a decade! My dice are collecting dust. Our group was just the best, we roleplayed half the time and went on quests/into battles the other half. That way everyone was happy.
XD that was genious Void.
the best battle was when we had a few extra players come over to take out the people that were being mind-controlled. One person made their character based off of Wakka. Seriously. Volleyball and all.
So we were having a hard time with this high level wizard. The wizard (10lvl) steps out of the building (and I'm getting excited ya know, a wizard duel. yay!) When the player with the wakka-char rolls a double critical. So it basically went like this: Wizard--"I shall destroy you all with a single wo--" BAM! a volleyball in the face! He was goin' on a good rant and then he just got owned by a guy with a volleyball!
*sigh* those were good times I'll tell ya.
Double critical? How do those work? Is that the twenty followed by 20=instant kill house-rule?
