a +4 vorpal blade would have been a better choice.

He'll be fine as long as this isn't 4th ed.

Was it Mica?

Yeah but who won the initiative roll?

.......oh a BAR stool! That makes more sense than my first thought.

Of course the bar tender won with a Stool of Defense(+6), thats a high crit weapon

That's kind of overkill against a level 1 Commoner Bartender, don't you think?

Eric The Pilot: oh a BAR stool!

Yeah, I also had visions of ape-like poo flinging... and they weren't pretty.

Whoops. Forgot I was in D&D nerd thread and not a lit nerd thread

Do they get a saving throw?

Man that bartender is the shiat!

FuelCycle: Nerds!

And ignorant nerds at that. There are no +6 weapons. I even killed Drizzt and I only got a +3 scimitar.

Epic level weapons in 3rd could go up to +10; in 4th, the highest bonus is, indeed, +6 (of course, we're still talking about epic levels at that point, but "epic" is actually treated as a core part of the game in 4th).

Same here but I had the poo at the end of a stick

They used a Chaos weapon? Phht. They should have known that the barkeep was Neutral.

MylesHeartVodak: They should have known that the barkeep was Neutral.

There's an easier way to kill him - surround him with your NPC characters, then kick them out of your party. He can't go anywhere, because he won't attack non-hostile creatures or non-members of your party. And then you just keep hitting him with exploding arrows until he dies.

Oh....I thought it was a KoL thing...

I believe the Ruby Rod of Asmodeus is a +6 greatclub.

Pretty epic weapon though. If it's not yours, and you touch it, you're dead. If you get hit with it, you're dead.

Wouldn't a +6 Stool of Defense send you through the wall, as well as through the next couple of buildings?

The bolded and underlined word is why your DM has failed.

You can pick up a snicker snack from the candy machine near the door. Just be careful of the frumious bandersnatch sitting at the bar. She'll try to get you to buy her a drink.

Respawning characters? That's worse than letting new characters start with anything but first level. Milquetoast DMs...

Also, most stools would qualify as two-handed weapons and Australians, being Thieves in general, wouldn't be allowed to handle them.

BalugaJoe: Was it Mica?

I'm guessing all of his flash stones were discharged on the previous assailants.

Well, you know the subby is a game faker anyway, as the correct term is "Chaotic" not chaos. You could have "Something of" Chaos, but the alignment term is Chaotic (ashamed I know that).

"No? They hate you for acting like asses because you can't tell them who you're hunting or why? You're too embarrassed to tell them? "

"Well, at least you've got to be close to done by now. There weren't that many of them... which reminds me, I want to talk to Lord Cypher..... what?....Really, no idea?"

"Hokayy... well, uhhh... I think I'm going to go lead the Space Wolves since Leman Russ is still missing. Good luck with the honor and hunting and all."

Hehe. Did you read Gav Thorpe's "Angels of Darkness"? Actually not a bad read (for BL) and the discussions between the Interregator-Chaplain and the 'Chaos' Marine are very interesting.

So, the two Bandits +4 don't combine to exceed +6?

What, did they each lose the throw or have to attack individually?

moops: And ignorant nerds at that. There are no +6 weapons. I even killed Drizzt and I only got a +3 scimitar.

-Actually, Defender's come in the +6 variety, and have for several editions. I guess the theory is you'll almost never use the full bonus as a plus to hit and damage because you'll be using some of it for your AC. And that's without epic levels!

The DM is not your friend: He failed.

I concur. The Tomb cannot be defeated at the recommended level. If you defeated the Tomb, then you:
a) cheated.
b) were given easy outs.
c) all of the above

It exists for three reasons, as far as I can figure: to give a good GM a way to eliminate problem characters, to teach players that it can be better to retreat than fight on, and to give sadistic GMs an outlet that's "legit".

I have yet to run into a bartender that wasn't a) a retired adventurer, or b) working for a retired adventurer. Apparently it's what every single retired fighter does with the spoils of adventuring: Opens a bar.
