A red dragon is not weak. It would seem that the game is flawed ithen if a familiar can survive. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well he didn't say what age group the dragon belonged to... " But let's take a look shall we? Max damage for a red dragon would be at great wyrm stage. A Great Wyrm Red Dragon has a 24d10 breath weapon. Maximum damage with that breath weapon is 240, however it allows a reflex save for half damage. Since Familiars have Improved Evasion they only take half damage even if they fail their save for a maximum total damage from the breath weapon of 120 points. Now if we also take maximum HP for the mage at level 20 (to give the familiar the best possible chance to survive the hit) we have 80HP for the master and half that, or 40HP, for the familiar. Discounting any con bonuses that the wizard has the familiar has a 1 in 3 chance of surviving the hit from the dragon (120 damage/40HP=3) providing that it fails the saving throw to negate all damage. Of course any con bonuses from the wizard will only increase the chance that the familiar survives. +1 Con bonus: 120 damage/50HP = 41.67% +2 Con bonus: 120 damage/60HP = 50.00% +3 Con bonus: 120 damage/70HP = 58.82% +4 Con bonus: 120 damage/80HP = 66.67% and so on and so forth... I really don't want to go into it's overall chance by factoring in the chance that the familiar will make the reflex save, because I've just spent the last 5 hours working on a math data management project dealing with statistics and frankly I'm sick of them now. <_<

Yeah, I don't have the 3.0 stuff. I didn't buy the books but I got the 3.5 3 core book set as a gift awhile back.

Volourn: Animal Companions do gain improved evasion, however they gain it at 15th level whereas familiars gain it at 1st. A 20th level animal companion will have: +12HD +12 Natural AC bonus +6 Strength and Dexterity 7 bonus tricks Link (handle as free action, push as move, +4 bonus on wild empathy and handle animal checks regarding animal companions) Share Spells (Druid can have any spell he/she casts on self affect companion) Improved Evasion Devotion (Companion gains +4 bonus to will saves vs enchantment effects) Multi-Attack (If applicable) A 20th level familiar will have: Half master's hit points (doesn't say only wizard/sorceror levels) For effects related to HD, HD are equal to master's character level (or normal, whichever is higher) Master's BAB as calculated from all classes (the +18 for 18 barb levels count...) Master's saving throws Skills, use master's or those for normal animal (whichever is higher) +10 Natural AC 15 Intelligence score Improved Evasion Share Spells (as Druids) Empathic Link (can sense emotions of other at up to 1 mile away) Can deliver touch spells for the master Speak with Master (Can communicate verbally with master, others need magical help to understand) Speak with Animals of it's kind Spell Resistance 25 Scry on Familiar

Don't you need a license to sell stuff on the street? Do you know anyone who hires 14 year-olds? I'm just wondering, maybe I could be a bagboy but I think you have to be 16 to work at Albertsons. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You could always get a paper route. " Ugh, never again...

On a critical hit the enemy rolls a fort save against DC10+1/2 character level+strength modifier. I had a DM once who used something similar for regular critical hits. Enemy had to make a fort save at DC10 + Damage Dealt or something. I had a longsword weilding fighter with improved critical that killed 4 dragons (Two reds, a green and a white) single handedly at 8th level. 3 of them were in one encounter. The rest of the party got in a couple shots but most of them missed and did less than 20 damage to just one of the dragons. I think I quit after that adventure. <_< I think the dice must have been loaded.

Does he have still spell? "

You'd be lucky to find anything smaller than 80GB now that isn't a laptop or mini-external hard drive. EDIT: My computer has a 40GB that's completely full about 95% of the time.

I still hate you Sargy. My computer hasn't been upgraded since the last time I posted in one of these threads. Screw you money! <_<

Pfft. I can see through your pathetic disguise. You're not an HK-50, you're DarthVala.

All you people and your humans and drow and halflings. They all suck! Kobolds are where it's at!

Thorton hit Gill into the boards from behind. Didn't look that bad to me but Gill left the game because of a pinched nerve. TSN Article about the game. Also has a little bit about the hit.

That sounds a little better.

That seems a little overpowered. They have all of the bonuses of elves and twice the skill bonus that humans get. Humans only have +1 skill point per level...

Not sure who does the song but.. Turtle Power from the TMNT Soundtrack. "

Timezone: GMT -5 (EST) Name: Check the sig... " Would definately love to play a round with some of you guys.

W00T! I guilted Hurlshot into adding himself!

AWHHH stupid referee I say Calgary was screwed out of the win <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I saw Calgary screwed themselves out of a win by taking all those penalties in the third. That was one deadly powerplay late in the game. "

O... M... G... That was an awesome game between the Canucks/Flames. Even better since it went into overtime. Nice win Vancouver! They stuck with it and managed to come back from 3-1 Flames to win it 4-3 in overtime.

Fionavar is in Saskatchewan, Canada. Central Standard Time. Therefore it's 11:45pm where he is and still his birthday for 15 minutes. "

You obviously don't love Fionavar enough. If you did, you wouldn't have said something like that. There can never be too much Fionavar. Not for another 25 minutes.

Paranoia as an MMO! "

I hate the Leafs.

I think I managed to pick up the Deluxe Edition for $20 or so a couple months ago. Great buy! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, just wait for GalCiv2 then, you'll love it :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have been. I just need another job so that I can pick up all the new games that I want that are coming up in the next couple months.

Trask was really the one who set up the republic fleet by passing on information to the Sith And Carth had the audacity to suggest that [CHARNAME] was responsible. "
