Re: OOTS #1202 - The Discussion Thread
In fact we've gone through 13 full thread, we're currently on Number 14, currently the top/most popular theories explanations for being really hard to hurt are: DR 10-15, having some DR and little fast healing, being immune to all non-bludgeoning damage and being a member of the main characters species from Schlock Mercenary (this one isn't very popular).
Arrrgh, here be me extended sig!

Julio said when he left that he's going to the Outer Planes. So the pirates may have a stash on one of those. Probably the Plane of Air, since they're air pirates.

Re: OOTS #1202 - The Discussion Thread
Lately I've been thinking the MiTD is a greater dread gazebo. The umbrella suggests to me that the MitD is an immature greater dread gazebo. The outer shell/skin/scales has/have yet to fully harden.
Another possibility is that of a greater dread Diva. The umbrella then being a plot device to keep the Diva's true identity secret until exactly the right moment.
Now a Greater Dread Diva Gazebo is a truly terrifying foe, known to even take out powerful starships.

Re: OOTS #1202 - The Discussion Thread
So in the first page of this book, we get that awesome Dutch angle. And now we get a wide, cinematic shot for our heroes departing that reminds me of a superhero story? The art is amazing! I feel really spoiled at this end of the saga!

I don't think I've ever seen the reason I play DND outside of my imagination before Giant.

I love the automatic reaction of Haley that the end of the world is the best moment ever for price gouging...
Beautiful visuals. I can almost hear the music.

Re: OOTS #1202 - The Discussion Thread
It's not a plot hole. Elan just thinks it's likely the properties of wind walk will be important to what happens next in the plot, so is feigning ignorance of the spell to make sure the readers know how it works. Durkon is playing along, and Elan couldn't be prouder of him.

Re: OOTS #1202 - The Discussion Thread
Level Adjustment. Vampires have a +8 LA, so if Betty was 2nd level, then Vampire Betty would be treated as 10th level for the purposes of gaining experience.
Vampire Durkon would have been treated somewhere past epic level, and would not have gained much, if any, experience. Even if he did, once Durkon is raised, he loses a level regardless (going by the stock rules).Cuthalion's art is the prettiest art of all the art. Like my avatar.

Re: OOTS #1202 - The Discussion Thread
Durkon's more expansive Wind Walk may be due to him being a cleric of Thor? Not 3.5 RAW, but maybe Durkon took some class abilities from an obscure 3rd party sourcebook. Or maybe Durkon, after returning to life in the current era, is now a 3.5/5.0 hybrid.
He is Thor's Chosen One, as well. A little boost for the dwarf...

crossing streams is probably an old experience, long left behind by the others in the party :P
I must admit that'd I wouldn't be fond of lamps or other reminders of genie-dom!

Re: OOTS #1202 - The Discussion Thread
I'm under the impression -- from playing a much earlier version of AD&D, decades ago -- that such experience doesn't "count" because it's so antithetical to the nature of the character. I may be thinking of someone afflicted with lycanthropy, a "lapsed" paladin, or something like that.

Re: OOTS #1202 - The Discussion Thread
That does seem in the spirit of AD&D (although not 3.5e so much), but I think there's a simpler reason why Durkon wouldn't get any XP from those fights: He wasn't the one fighting. Durkon* is an entirely different character, one that Durkon was actively trying to thwart, so there's no reason Durkon should gain experience from Durkon* winning battles.
It might be quite reasonable to give Durkon XP from outwitting Durkon* from within the confines of his own mind, though. I doubt he would have gotten enough XP for it to make a difference, but hey, maybe it was a story award or something.Number of Character Appearances VII - To Absent Friends
