Random DM nagging.

[Merc]

Would Int 1 make us drop our weapons and want to punch or bite stuff, or do we still operate enough instinct to want to hit things with them?

[Anastasia]

You'd retain enough instinctual knowledge to use your weapons, at least.

[Corwin]

I don't have a particular preference, Dune. I figure if we allow OHKO spells by taking out the KO part, why not do the same for save or die spells?

Just as an example:

I've been toying around with a rules change. Ability damage/drain can't reduce you below 1 point in any given stat, ergo ability damage/drain lacks the risk of incapacitating you or flat out ending your life.  This would make certain broken spells like Ray of Stupidity and Shivering Touch useable without being instant win buttons against certain creatures. Creatures that have a gimmick based around reducing an ability score to zero, such as shadows, would gain a trait that allows them to ignore this rule.

What do you guys think?

For all that I can't recall KOing someone via ability damage in any game, I dislike the idea of losing it as an option if someone specialises sufficiently. Still, I don't care a huge deal. (that said, someone with int 1 certainly should drop their confusing and scary weapons in favour of flailing stupidly or relying on trusted deadly natural attacks)

Rise high with the Phoenix of the Princess or gain power with the Scion of Destruction, but never both.

NOT TWO BUT ONE

[Anastasia]

Random, but are you storing all these messages from 27 anywhere, Merc?

[Merc]

I actually am!

[Anastasia]

Updated NPCs and army with adjustments for Afina's armor gifts.

[Anastasia]

I actually am!

Where are they? Idle curiosity here.

[Merc]

In a notepad file! I am keeping track, just not online.

[Anastasia]

Okay.

I would suggest doing so online, for no other reason that it keeps the information easily accessible for everyone.

[Merc]

I'll put it in the war knowledge thread for now. I was going to put it elsewhere, but I wanted to finish stats first. Just a toooooooon to go through there... >_>;

[Anastasia]

I can relate, I'm doing lots o' work myself.

You'd retain enough instinctual knowledge to use your weapons, at least.

I disagree with this.
