Heh. Great Cleave is all you need. :twisted: Kobolds with levels still have net negatives to their ability scores, and it ain't in Charisma. :P -4 Strength hurts.

The problem with "Godfather Kobold" was that you never got into melee range....

that whole "let's reinact the end of Butch and Sundance" type distance attacks kinda evened things up. (should we even mention the Half orc with the "chainsword"

Ok I'm right in the middle of revising my paladin (damn 3.0e rules :P )
With improved crit, cleave, and a keen holy greatsword, I'll be able to kill anything. :twisted: . Also, lazerus, when you're ready to intro me just give me an IM. I'm still deciding on what to buy with my extra 9k. (Suggestions anyone? :) )

I hate to break it to you, but Power Attack is a prerequisite for Cleave. Man, I just keep raining on your parade, don't I? :P

Well, if I was operating from a powergaming perspective, I would have suggested that. But I didn't know if that was an RP element you wanted to keep. *Shrug.* Guess not. :wink:

Except for the +2 shield, I'm pretty sure all of those cost more than 9k gp. :wink:

One guy I knew once came up with a scheme to kill a 25th level evil cleric when his character was only 3rd level. It involved a carriage with alchemist's fire for insulation in the walls. :twisted: His character was more than willing to die to peg this guy (head of the Church of Hextor, murderer of his family, whole list of reasons), and so he planned to ambush the cleric's usual carriage that picked him up to take him to the temple every week and show up himself with his booby-trapped duplicate. I never found out what happened, but it sounded interesting.

Good idea, but he should have used normal lamp oil instead of alchemests fire, it burns hotter.

Even with your keen holy greatsword you still need to actually hit the target (unless it's actually a natural 20 :) )
Though when you should hit the target, it will hurt...

Hey, you'd be amazed what you can do with a portable hole, a bag of holding, and a wand of polymorph...

Actually, my paladin already HAS a magic horse. Getting one is one of her class skills. :D
Hmm...with a scroll of wish I could wish for up to 25,000 gp. :)
And then..muhahah. :twisted:
Bah I'm so goddamn indecisive.
Can I just buy several thousand orcs?

Hmmm a few little bodyguards would be kinda nice. Though mercs aren't really my style. I think some wands, a few potions and a minor magic item would be nice. BTW, any idea of when I'll get intro'ed?
