    “Ahhh, my mighty and loyal Blue Pope… we should make more of you…” And lo did the heavens open, and cast forth the Sexiness upon the world - so that all and sundry would have their orders Disordered and embrace the Forsaken wonders that emerged. Wondering what rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouches towards Leminster to be born? Do gotta wonder why this Peter Jackson guy keeps emailing me about filming Return of the Godking tho… its only half-written !

    Spell Duo-Dimensional Weapon Psychoportation Level : Psion 4 / PsyWar 4 Display : Vi Manifestation Time : 1 action Range : Personal Target : One of your held weapons Duration : 2 rounds/level Power points : 7 Your weapon’s edge becomes two-dimensional, making it infinitely razor-sharp. Almost any hand-held weapon can be altered with this power, even bludgeoning weapons such as hammers or maces. Only jointed, chain, or rope weapons (such as whips, flails, or nunchuks) cannot be made into dimensional blades. However, bludgeoning weapons will do slashing or piercing damage (damage dice as normal). In addition, the critical threat range is increased to 17-20; however the damage multiplier remains that of the weapon. This power’s effect can be used to breach stoneskin spells and Kinetic Barriers. While this power is in effect, the psionicist’s weapon ignores any armor worn by the victim - only Dexterity and magical protection applies. In the case of monsters, the DM must decide if the creature’s Armor Class is due to thick, armor-like hide or natural quickness. The dimension blade can also be used to cleanly sever inanimate objects, such as an opponent’s weapon, a stone pillar, or the axle of a wagon. Any object struck by a dimension blade must make a fortitude saving throw or be sliced in half. Feat Improved Critical ( Player’s Handbook v.3.5, p. 95) [Fighter Bonus Feat, General] Choose one type of weapon, such as longsword or greataxe. With that weapon, you know how to hit where it hurts. Prerequisite base attack bonus +8, Proficient with weapon, Benefit When using the weapon you selected, your threat range is doubled. For example, a longsword usually threatens a critical hit on a roll of 19-20 (two numbers). If a character using a longsword has Improved Critical (longsword), the threat range becomes 17-20 (four numbers). Special You can gain Improved Critical multiple times. The effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new type of weapon. This effect doesn’t stack with any other effect that expands the threat range of a weapon (such as the keen edge spell). A fighter may select Improved Critical as one of his fighter bonus feats (see page 38). Weapon Enhancement Keen Enhancement (Dungeon Master’s Guide v.3.5, p. 225) Price: +1 bonus Property: Weapon Caster Level: 10th Aura: Moderate; Transmutation Activation: — This ability doubles the threat range of weapon. For instance, if it is placed on longsword (which has a normal threat range of 19-20) the keen longsword scores a threat on a 17-20. Only piercing or slashing weapons can be keen. (If you roll this property randomly for an inappropriate weapon, reroll.) This benefit doesn’t stack with any other effect that expands the threat range of a weapon (such as the keen edge spell or the Improved Critical feat). Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor , Keen Edge .

    okey dokey - so the remaining split breaks down as follows : slaad and onaga only took 2 picks in the starting round, giving them 5 unused picks as the rest of us grabbed 7 items. the highest average value of the remaining high-value items (salted towards the highest value because we cherry-picked what we REALLY wanted/needed from the first draft) is approximately 8k… so they’re getting an extra 40k each out of the split knocking 5% off the final retail to cover kargin’s overhead, that leaves us with a final divvy of each party member getting 370,101 gold from liquidating the party treasure (with slaad and onaga receiving 410,101 as their total) (( oh, and i didn’t include selling the few healing potions in party inventory - too useful in a pinch )) pending approval from cloud, in case i missed anything and spreadsheet attached, for those that wanna snag anything off it at 95% of retail (or in case you wanna check my maths) dregnothpartytreasure.ods

    ahh, remember all the fun of stringing thinnet and trying to get the old DOS network drivers working to play it ?? don’t miss that shit… still remember when we started playing the first warcraft - had to kill each other b’cuz it didn’t have computer controlled opponents yet… and you ragequitting as my giant demon came lumbering into your town whilst you were still building your barracks. “FUCK YOU, DWARF !! this game’s over !” think it was wc2 where we dumped some SERIOUS hours running all the different maps… 'til Descent and Diablo came out and we never went back to those golden oldies…

    Fair enough, i’ve been reading some of the Epic rules and so far they aren’t completely terrible. Before we go charging head long into a artifact quest i wanted to be sure the Crafting at Epic/Ancient levels was not going to arduous and/or painful - always being broke i can deal with. But if i have to quest to collect a boil off the ass of Orcus to make a item, that would have been useful 5 levels ago and by the time i can make it the items usefulness has passed … I will hard pass thank you very much. If that was the case i was probably going to shelf the Dwarves and play something else. Are we still playing with Shadow Exp even into Epic levels? I know that is something we established back in the Fallen Legion days. Just wanted to be sure that is how we will continue to roll into Epics.
