I just hope you use the incredibly overpowered magic items to break the game over your knee.

Chokes McGee posted:Hahahaha HAHAHAHAHA oh no you’re being serious I mean, I've watched the speedruns for some of these. There are at least 2 items that (if duplicated using tried and true CRPG trickery) can just wreck certain fights.

Chokes McGee posted:Ooooh. Yeah if you dupe items this thing gets silly in a hurry, especially once you get a certain mysterious jar of dust mite excrement. I will not be doing that, however, because it’s cheating and Lincoln Fitzgerald Sternn would never cheat. Never. You pulled out The Bishop in the Wizardy LP, I have no doubt you'll deploy whatever means necessary to save the universe.

Chokes McGee posted:Yeah, but it's class dependent. If we want Giant Rezen then Enlarge is far superior, which it is. Looking up the AD&D rules, it looks like Enlarge wasn't really meant to be a strength buff; that's just a bonus. The description spends a lot more time talking about how it would make objects better/sturdier, then mentions "oh and a 12' tall person would have ogre strength and a 18' tall person would have giant strength". The size increase is also based on the level of the caster (20% per level), so you're not getting giant strength until the caster is around level 5 (200% increase X 6' tall fighter). It also only lasts for 1 turn/level, so when you first get it it won't last an entire combat. They probably also expected the DM to enforce some penalties on enlarged players, such as not being able to move through certain spaces and being way easier to hit. Of course that all goes out the window in a PC game where combat happens in big empty rooms filled with enemies.

Commander Keene posted:I'd absolutely believe that there's no save on level drain in some edition of D&D, because the older editions are full of bullshit like that. There are a few "just die, no save" effects in older D&D editions, IIRC. 5th edition has them lower your maximum hp, though it does get a save. If your max hp gets lowered to 0 you die and come back as a zombie 24 hours later. You can remove the effect by taking a long rest, along with the usual Restoration spells.

Chokes McGee posted:Sup thread. Next update should be coming out sometime soon, probably during the weekend. This next part is very boring so I’ve been putting it off, plus I’m undergoing job search and it’s been nuts. Have you tried telling the wasps to stop freeloading and start paying their share of the rent?

Voting C I can't imagine Stern would have it any other way.

Chokes McGee posted:Well, good news, everyone. I'm not dead from the sars and, in fact, will be updating in a day or two. I expect to have some extra time to work on the LP given that I've literally been welded into my house to prevent me from getting coffee or whatever. I don't know how they welded wood but they managed it. Can you send the wasps out to run errands for you?

Chokes McGee posted:It was inevitable. Turning our guys loose with a +5 long sword and +2 plate mail was going to end in either that or the game difficulty curve massively inflating beyond what people new to the series could handle. You could also say that it's also something of a genre convention. A lot of old games that allowed importing from previous games reduced your power in some way in order to maintain a semblance of balance.

Thanks for yet another incredible LP, Chokes! Though I am deeply afraid to learn the "secret" of the silver blades.

achtungnight posted:Got the shot three hours ago. Ok so far. Thx for sharing stories and presumed prayers. Pity we can’t live in a world like the Realms of this game where disease is cured magically and thus almost never a concern. Except for when the DM railroads you and decides that magical healing can't cure your plague.

Chokes McGee posted:Contrary to popular belief, I am not in fact a shambling corpse in the fetid embrace of undeath and was merely visiting Rhode Island to find an apartment and prep for the move. Hopefully we'll be back on schedule this weekend. I hope the wasps are enjoying the trip to Rhode Island.
