Re: Will Save World For Gold. (Thread Mark III)
Not if he knows there looking. He fails a perception check he thinks was good and then does something while there there on the other hand......
Alternatively, he does something jerkish/selfish/what-have-you that he doesn't think is gonna cause a serious problem, and then it unexpectedly comes back and bites him rather badly and things go form there."I Burn!"

Re: Will Save World For Gold. (Thread Mark III)
Keep in mind that Ardon is a main character, and it is therefore unlikely that he will do something that will end up creating a permanent wall between himself and the rest of the party.

Um, am I the only one who remembers him straight up murdering a child to get clothing right that second to go shopping?
That did happen awhile back, right? I'm not loosing my mind?"I Burn!"

Re: Will Save World For Gold. (Thread Mark III)
No, I remember as well. and technically, he already has done something like that with the competition against the elf ranger and her party which somehow didn't stick....if he was in my party, I'd be finding ways to kill him in his sleep by now.....

Re: Will Save World For Gold. (Thread Mark III)
Truth is, the party likes Ardon. And I guess they like him for the same reason readers do: he's competent, humorous, gets the story moving and isn't afraid of doing immoral stuff to get his way (or a good joke). The comic is set up to reward black humor: unless there's a paradigm shift to a bit of a darker setting, I don't see arson murder and jaywalking creating true problems for Ardon.

Re: Will Save World For Gold. (Thread Mark III)
I think Odi explained that he feels indebted to Ardon for bailing him out once or twice early on, and Elli sympathizes with Odi, Peanut's not bright enough to grasp it one way or the other (shame, I was so, so hoping to find out that he really was secretly a retired epic level badass and the most competent person in the party after all. THAT would have been hilarious and awesome!) and 45 is ALL about his own agenda's, one of which is knowing that Ardon will self destruct given enough time (and he's patient having no age limit.), and now contemplating a way to get the cash for handing him over to the Fey with out loosing the bet (I have to assume the only reason he's not worked out a party split and a cover up to make it look like Ardon's body got disintegrated while they were split by now is the bet, his pride won't let him break the term of bringing it down on Ardon with a straight up double cross.)
That said, 45 is already looking to get rid of him, and I don't think his usual is gonna be what get's him if anything. What I thought was gonna happen was that he was gonna do something arrogant/egotistical/nihilistic to the Cleric/Paladin and/or the rest of there party that intentionally or not get's them killed."I Burn!"

Re: Will Save World For Gold. (Thread Mark III)
4E says you have to be half your total HP into negatives, right? And Ell's a tank class that has the 2nd highest HP per level of any class and assumedly put at least some priority into Con, right? She's probably in negatives but alive.
I hope."I Burn!"

Re: Will Save World For Gold. (Thread Mark III)
So yeah, likely in the negatives and rolling against death, maybe taking bleed damage or some such. But not dead.
And I never noticed the mustache. That makes it, less stupidly evil, but still pretty evil. (He straight up murdered a sentient adult instead of a sentient child for a petty reason. Slightly less bad but it's still horrible.)"I Burn!"

Re: Will Save World For Gold. (Thread Mark III)
They're basically *the* Paladin weapon - typically +5 enchantment, often Holy as well (whatever that means in a particular rules system - in 3E it would do extra damage against Evil things, in 4e.. I dunno, but I'm sure it exists somewhere), usually has a handful of other neat special abilities like dispelling magic or creating a protective aura. Only works for Paladins, and this particular weapon apparently only works for sufficiently strong Paladins.

Was random loot rolls a thing back in 4E? Maybe she just lucked out and didn't know it?
Or maybe it's cursed and that's why she couldn't use it to full power yet and that's why she could afford it?"I Burn!"

Re: Will Save World For Gold. (Thread Mark III)
Sometimes items with a history get stronger alongside the character that uses them. This is a clear example of that: as she levels up the avenger will get more powers.
It's actually a standard practice in 4E, I think it's even suggested in a DMG.Useless arcane powers are better than no arcane powers!
