    Seriously, why can druids have chickens as animal companions and summoned allies? Are they unexpectedly powerful or were the developers having a laugh?

    So you can take the chicken challenge.
    How long can your chicken survive?
    Also with enlarge animal and greater magic fang you can enjoy their animation and undead destroying finese.

    Yes, probably with the nilbog and (worst of all) the withra

    They prefer to be called VORPAL bunnies!

    I am familiar with a Nilbog, and even a Llort, but not the Withra. Couldn't find anything on it either- please elaborate.

    And for, what I believe, is the ultimate answer(s) for the primary question in this post:


    1. So that you can cross roads!! .:aaaa:


    2. Because my character's uncle was a Colonel, and his name was Sanders? :roll:


    3. Because, it replenishes DAILY and with an Enlarge spell, well, foraging for dinner is no longer a problem...:evil_laug

    I apologise obviously my memory was at fault - I fear the withra was a creation of our sadistic DM inspired by the nilbog and co.


    Anyway the withra (anagram of wraith of course) was created from positive energy rather than negative and on hitting a pc would grant 1 experience level and disappear in a puff of smoke (through earth leakage) rather like Icewind Dale uncorporeal undead when you killed them.

    Naturally, this produced a certain competitiveness as regards getting hit.

    A sadistic DM applied about 6 wraiths immediately following 1 or 2 withras.:thumbsdow

    Come to think about I don't remember how we reconciled the problem of adjacent matter and anti-matter
