Great pictures Rhu , I see that I managed to stay out your pictures and I didn't meet you.

I played in 2 games on Saturday and enjoyed getting killed in both of them
I was very tired and left early Sunday, driving from Michigan in a rainstorm with little sleep did me in.

<t>I never liked the 1st edition assassin class. Back in high school, the DM little brother (who was about 11-12 , the olders being 16-18)would always create a halfling assassin (the only race that wasn't allowed btb I believe. ). At some point he would try to assasinate some other character and fai...

The strangely named Unnamed Island is subject to such rumors and superstitions.

<t>Primal Fury, +2 damage might helped a little, but it wasn't decisive.
