I'm not that concerned actually.Being the descendant of a vacuum elemental and some kind of lich makes figuring out if its even possible to die to be too tricky to figure out.

By the way can you tell him to stop sending these bugs,or at least change the type? It was ok for the first hundred thousand but watching them suffocate is getting kind of boring.

How can you have a vacuum elemental....vacuum isn't even a thing. Unless you mean like a Dirt Devil.

Theres an elemental plane of vacuum and while I don't think the elementals appeared in any wotc official book there are conversions to 3.5th edition. Plus the plane still exists and therefore has elementals.

Basically this is one of those question you probably shouldn't ask.

On a test run of one of my homebrew monsters (Milon of Poison) I managed to stick like, 47 ongoing poison damage onto the Warforged Fighter before he successfully saved against the damage.

With a natural 20.

I mean really, it is almost like you didn't realize this is a treed about Cat and its many manifestations. That should be obvious from the title. or you know from reading it.

I thought it would be appropriate at this time to put up a quote from the 16th post:

How right he was.

I have continued my studdies of this matter and in the process stumbled upon a set of ancient glyphs. It appears to be some kind of character sheet or at least a stat block. I have only translated part of it so far but if the trasnslation is accurate it proves my theory about Snuggle's not actually being evil. Unfortunately its a lot worse. I am sending the notes but sealed them for those who don't want to know.

The pathetic attempts to quantitatively analyze our dread lord is doomed to fail, for it's beyond mortal understanding. But qualitative analysis might lead to some glimmer of understanding.

In this instance, that understanding is also wrong.

Actually, I do. But in this case, Snuggles, Cuddles, and the rest of the cat pantheon have taken over the thread.

As I said it seems to be one of the mystical artifacts known as a character sheet and that is the translation according to the best translation books never written that I could find.
