I know that it is interesting for me and the ones like shininted that are in awe of the old NPCs. Those stats are taken from "return to ToEE" p&p adventure, that describes the NPCs after 15 years: Burne: Wiz10 Str 15, Dex 10, Con 15, Int 21, Wis 11, Cha 12; brew potions, combat casting, imrpoved initiative, lightning reflexes, maximize spell, scribe scroll, spell mastery, spell penetration. (headband of intellect +2) Canoness Y'dey: Lc 10 Str 13, Dex 15, Con 16, Int 12, Wis 17, Cha 13; Brew potion, combat casting, dodge, scribe scroll, weapon focus (heavy mace) Elmo: rgr 6 Favored enemies, goblinoids, undeads, fights with 2 weapons. Str 19, Dex 16, Con 17, int 15, Wis 16, Cha 11; 2-weapon fighting, Point Blank Shot, Power Attack, Track, Weapon Focus (battleake and composite longbow). Rufus, Ftr 8 Str 16, Dex 13, Con 12, Int 15, Wis 10, Cha 14; blind fight, Cleave, Dodge, Improved Critical (b.axe), Mobility, Power Attack, Weapon focus (b.a), Weapon specialization (b.a). Spugnoir: wiz 7 Str 11, Dex 15, Con 14, Int 19, Wis 11, Cha 7; alterness, brew potions, combat casting, improved initiative, lightning reflexes, scribe scroll, toughness (headband of intellect +2) Terjon Clr 6 Str 11, Dex 12, Con 16, int 10, Wis 16, Cha 8; Brew Potions, Combat Casting, Dodge, Weapon Focus (heavy mace). Kella: drd 9 Str 12, Dex 16, con 13, int 11, wis 16, cha 15; Combat Casting, Dodge, Scribe Scrolls, Track Lareth Clr 7; Str 18, dex 17, con 16, int 9, wis 19, cha 6; combat casting, improved initiative, power attack, weapon focus (quarestaff) Zert: ftr 8 Str 17, dex 16, con 12, int 13, wis 9, cha 10; cleave, dodge, improved initiative; improved 2-weapon fighting, power attack, weapon focus (shortsword), weapon specialization (short sword). interesting to see how they left stats untouced from AD&D and some NPCs sucs.
Terjon is STILL 6th level? Bizarre... either the guy who wanted to be off adventuring has been stuck in the church for 15 years straight or he was hit by a couple vampires Orion, if you think Elmo having 2wf specialisation, then bow-related feats, is bizarre, I am the first to agree! Meh, maybe he's a rennaisance man - a feat of every type, and lots of drinking. "Return to ToEE" is not GG of course - Orion, what is it like? Any good? Consistent? Worth getting for future mods?
Well, actually it would have a meaning with quickdraw, since in this way he is ready to eveyrthing. Since he was described as a man-at-arm, his role of being ready for everything (melee and ranged) fits with the description. SPOILER it is nice to know how Elmo became the captain of local militia and how he hates Y'dey since she wasn't able to cure Otis immediatly in the temple, before that he died.
What kills Otis? Must be something from which he can't be raised or ressurected, as his allies wouldn't just simply let him rot. And then there's reincarnate, and wish, too... Very few things that can kill a character that dead...but I guess 'plot' could also be responsible for his untimely demise... :tombstone
That's ironic - considering the LG vignette starts with 'Y'Dey' getting similarly killed. Terjon: "What? Why didn't you just cast resurrect, you bumbling fools?" Party: "You're the 6th level cleric casting level 5 clerical spells, why don't you just go the whole hog and wish her back?" Terjon: "Touche. Now get out."
But Y'Dey isn't dead... ....you know that she's the same person as Mother Screng, don'tcha? Someone must've gotten to her after all, and done the rez thingie, and put her back out there undercover...! Otis has got something to do with it, 'cause Murfles is with her...
Ummm, thats why I put 'Y'Dey' in these :arrow: ' ' I have always assumed it wasn't Y'dey at all (since she shows up later), just someone carrying one of her items. Ok, it was never THAT ironic.
Sorry, T... Us "old codgers" have bad eyesight, you know...didn't see the ' ' there. :blush: What you can't see behind my 'mask' are the goggles of minute seeing. After so many hours of continuous use, things get, well, blurry.
Meh, I forgive you I wonder what kills Otis myself... they must assume the assault on Zuggy went down a certain way, and describe it (probably in the opening paragraph). That'd be worth reading.
Oh my GOD! I would never have figured Otis for a pirate! Or is he a dentist...? Not that there's anything wrong with that...one thing I'm not is an anti-dentite! :icon_chuc
