Re: First time DMing and already killed a character.
And to think, all this "Snuggles" business started from the long running
jokehard n' true fact that a housecat can destroy a commoner (and now, as it turns out, an epic level anything).But... but... You can't Wake Up Dead

You know, this last incarnation seem to have lost some of its appeal. It was much cooler when it was tiny.

Re: First time DMing and already killed a character.
That Damn Crab is a Monstrous Crab that is exceptionally powerful for its stated CR. It's expected that the crab would be a decent challenge for a group of ECL 6-8. People thought it'd be funny if they added a bunch of templates to it and made it into a god. I don't know about the Salmon, but I imagine it's pretty much the same thing.

Re: First time DMing and already killed a character.
Epic Salmon's a GameFAQs contribution, and because there is a faster purge on old posts there, I can't link it. It resulted from people noticing Salmon couldn't actually statistically swim up waterfalls, so they added templates until it could.
I'm having an insurrection here! The One True Snuggles is a housecat with disintegrate at-will and a shield brooch. None of this tentacled madness!

Re: First time DMing and already killed a character.
Snuggles weakness: A small shaft of warm natural sunlight, only then does snuggles sleeps. To bribe snuggles, must bring can of tuna. If you brought can opener adn are opening said can of tune you get a +10 (or +20) to handle animal check (or would that be a survival check?)

handle animal? HANDLE ANIMAL?

Re: First time DMing and already killed a character.
Sure. You can roll Handle Animal to interact with Snuggles, if he doesn't roll Handle Animal to interact with you first. Even if you did go first, the DC is somewhere near Graham's Number. That +10 or +20 isn't going to help too much unless you're using it on your damage roll with the Holy Avenger to open his salmon

Re: First time DMing and already killed a character.
This is probably my favorite part of the thread so far. Points for making me laugh out loud.
Also, I'm not certain its the original Epic Salmon, but when searching google to double-check its exact composition, I found an archived Wizards thread that declared it to be a Pseudonatural Paragon Tauric Gold Dragon/Salmon of Legend. I thought the giant pair of gold dragon wings instead of salmon fins was a nice touch, as was the modified breath weapon of breathing out a gigantic cone of fish.
As for Snuggles, however, I must favor the original words of the prophet Astralfire:
It's not snuggles if it doesn't have a Shield Brooch for an eye and the ability to cast disintegrate at will from the other.

Re: First time DMing and already killed a character.
Holy cow this got out of hand.
Wasn't able to access internet due to computer problems.
To answer the initial questions asked:
The game is DnD.
Encounter:
5 level 5 characters, fighting a zombie 5-headed hydra and about 15 zombie commoners. hydra on one end, zombies on other end of a 20 ft wide, 200 ft long hallway. Killed wizard with hydra, got barbarian into negatives, and brought another player to exactly 0 hp.
The problem was that the group tried to split up and fight both at once, instead of taking out one group or the other. A wizard and a barbarian fighting alone versus the hydra allowed their death/near-death.
First off, is this EL to high for the party or was the party just being stupid?
Also, I should note that the hydra killed the wizard on three solid hits and one critical, bringing him from full health to death.
As for the other multiple pages, I haven't looked at everything yet.

Re: First time DMing and already killed a character.
Also, funny thing happened. The first actual encounter was with a housecat. A maze that threw out a different monster each time you went back to the start, starting with a housecat and working its way up the CR. They ended up at CR 5, where I was hoping it would end, killing a dire lion and figuring out the puzzle.

Re: First time DMing and already killed a character.
hi OP
welcome to the cult of snuggles
But i would personally say that scenario might be a BIT over the top-EL wise. But they had choices, and made a poor choice by splitting up. They should have mopped up the zombies, and then pegged if they didnt have the reserves left over to take out the hydra

Re: First time DMing and already killed a character.
This is amazing. Best. Thread. Derail. Ever.
I am in the act of statting up AstralFire's original idea for 4e (sorry everybody, I don't have any 3.5e homebrew experience, or any of the books ).
Hope no one minds if I make in an Immortal Beast, though. Natural Beasts have a strict INT cap. Also, it will have (kitteh) subtype.My Homebrew

Re: First time DMing and already killed a character.
Hydras, if you're not expecting them, can be almost as bad as dragons in terms of disproportionately dangerous for their CR. Zombie hydras are more managable, but they retain almost all of their significant offensive capability.
Oh, and ALL HAIL THE GREAT SNUGGLES!
