For the hammer, Lv20 Paladin, DD3.5 against chaotic stupid.

How could you explain this otherwise?

[Hawk_v3]

I know the weapon you used too...

FOOLSMITER
Damage: 4-14 Crushing
Enchanted: +2
THAC0: +2
Speed: 10
Weight: 15
Proficiency: Hammers
Usable only by Fighters

This war hammer has a huge stone head in the shape of a rectangular block. Faint traces of gore and blood are on all sides of the hammer's head. The shaft is of a thick wood that looks too weak to support the hammer head's weight.

This enchanted hammer was used as a tool by the Athar at one time during their religious persecution phase of their faction history. The magical war-hammer "Foolsmiter" was constructed so that it did additional damage against opponents who were particularly stupid. When it was crafted, however, the enchantment was twisted such that if the user was less intelligent than the target struck by the hammer, the wielder would take damage as well. For many years, the hammer became a test rite between rival members of the Athar as a primitive (and lethal) IQ test. It was stolen from their headquarters in the Shattered Temple many years ago and has resurfaced once or twice across the Planes.

It is believed that the Intelligence vs. Intelligence contest the hammer once inflicted on the wielder and his enemies has dissipated from the hammer over time, but no one has been confident enough to put it to the test.

I love that one!!!

*Add this to the cart*

[Hawk_v3]

>v> What you're adding that to your DnD games?

[NPC Overlord Nikoleis]

Of course I am! There will be your name engraved on it as a copyright!

[Hawk_v3]

Make it funnier. Make it actually do the Intelligence test. The person with the lower int gets the damage.

[NPC Overlord Nikoleis]

Of course I will! Only thing is, I think it will be funnier with the FFRPG team:

My team as I envision them in this situation:
"Werefencer":"This weapon is doomed!"
Dualwielding redmage:"It's brillant!"
Warrior:"I like swords... and guns."
Moogle gambler:"Let's sell it to our opponents."
Daemon summoner:*Not paying attention and burn everything and everyone with Ifrit*

[Hawk_v3]

...That's the team you DM for?

[NPC Overlord Nikoleis]

The only one left after my move, yes. And it is epic as how they are incompetent at anything except dealing with bosses (and I still need to find a legal way to survive them...)

[Hawk_v3]

How bad?

[NPC Overlord Nikoleis]

Listing of their latest attempt at stealth, just for fun:
1) A drunk guard, no one else, an airship to steal 50 m in front of them, easy. The moogle advane, I decide to "scare them a little", the guard see the mog... and believe it's a "pink mogliphant" before taking a nap. They charged him and the entire air pirate base, blowing it apart.

2) Their own airship, guarded. Not much, just something to slow them down. But our Were weasel fencer did some noise, was almost spotted. Brillant idea:"Mew!!!" (REALLY bad cat imitation). Guard : "It's a cat?", Him : "Yes, I'm a cat ..."

3) Infiltration, Shinra tower style. Except for the part : "We take the explosive loaded 4x4 and we go straight in the wall at full speed!!!" upon entering.

[Hawk_v3]

...*sigh* I'd almost relish being the mage there, except I dislike FF magic...

[NPC Overlord Nikoleis]

FFRPG have the great idea to let the mage create utility spells at will. There are only lists for combat spells. Not like they uses this often, but they already called Shiva to create an ice bridge across a river or using earth magic to dig in ancient ruins.

[Hawk_v3]

Sounds alright.

[NPC Overlord Nikoleis]

Heh, maybe one time I will try to host a roleplay session on BP!

But now, time to go to bed, 2:30 AM is "late"
