The most hauntingly beautiful description of Rebuke Undead I've ever read. Bravo, you magnificent woman, you've done it again.

Watch it, if I keep getting compliments on my fluff I may just, uh... keep putting lots of effort into it?

Thank you. I really love Kaylee, and I find the concept of a Good person who is stained by very dark powers particularly interesting and lovely. If I can convey that feeling, then I've succeeded at roleplaying her.

I think you gave her the wrong Firefly name. She seems more like River.

Also, change your name to Agnes.

I wasn't thinking of Firefly when I named her, dammit! I love the series, mind, but I wasn't thinking of it all the same.

I'm not sure Korack even has to do anything here but stand around and look impressed... .

So for now I think he's going to do just that, well and what he does pretty horribly... melee damage!

Once we rest I'll hopefully get him a better spell line up that corresponds better to this group. I mainly took a mix-max of stuff that I hoped would prove useful for whatever type of group I landed in.

Sorry if nature isn't the right category for the beasts...if it should be a Know: Religion roll, it goes up by 3 for another +1 to attack and damage. If it should be Planes, it goes down by 2 but the result stays the same. All of the other big knowledge categories are the same as Nature for me.

The example given in the book goes on to describe a bonus against both a black dragon and a half-dragon based on only one Knowledge: Arcana roll.

Doh! No, that's me misreading the feat. My apologies. The same bonus would indeed apply to all undead.

Sorry for my delay. Last week was midterms. This week I've been catching up on eBay auctions that I needed to ship and been dealing with the massive "first days of semester" homework. Posting IC now.

Now it's my turn, I have to ask... is there any way for us to know which ones are under Kaylee's control? I don't want to start burning friendlies.

They should, hopefully, immediately start attacking the uncontrolled zombies and be obvious because of that. I wish I could fluff a glowing aura around them, but that may go beyond the extent of the spell.

In that case, I think I shall Delay Action until it becomes obvious.

Knowledge (religion) roll to know what the hell she did, otherwise Frigg would know no reason to not burn them all.

Frigg understands that Kaylee has attempted to rebuke, or take control over, some of the undead.

Sounds good. We'll assume that Frigg will be first to act in the next cycle.

[Edit]: Also, contrary of what the forum roller claims, it can have duration longer than one round. Technically.

[2.Edit]: Oh, hey, didn't notice Thoven had already acted. Oh well.

If Thoven moves to J3, he will be taking 2d6+2 fire damage...

That fire wasn't a one-off thing. It's "Duration: Concentration + 1 round/level".

Um. Why isn't the first zombie under my control anymore? I didn't Rebuke that one, I used Command Undead; the only way to break that spell is to attack or otherwise threaten it. Has anyone done that?

EDIT- Oh, and to clarify, are the rebuked zombies Cowering or Commanded? If they have 3 HD or less they should be commanded, unless I'm missing something.

Woops... I saw from I2 - L2, thus making me safe, didn't realise it had a second dimension.

Unfortunately, that leaves me with no action. Oh well, safer this way. Burn Away my friend!

Even if didn't go from L2 to L7, just for being within 10 feet of I2 to L2 would make you take damage. I explained the whole thing in my post...

I see that...

I read it and the majority of it didn't register this morning. I don't know why.

Anyway:
Post changed,
Actions fixed,
All done...

The rebuked zombies are cowering. You're not missing anything there.

I had thought not to explain why Command Undead was broken, but I refer you to this line from the spell:

Quote:
Any act by you or your apparent allies that threatens the commanded undead (regardless of its Intelligence) breaks the spell.
...and to the radius of Thoden's aura.
