DoctorTristan posted:He could just as easily blast Xykon and his entire army into goo and remove any need to put the party back together. The splice is going to end once he's done whatever he's going to do about the dragon and his family. This. There's a lot of things V could do with that kind of arbitrary power, but this is about him and his family. He won't use the soul splice for anything beyond this encounter.

No I think it's better to go the other way, have an RPG that just cleanly cuts everything into Good and Evil.

The second edition would double the alignment axis with optional 'Very' modifiers, in both directions.

Seftir posted:Maximized energy drain. GOD. drat. That's mean poo poo right there. For those of you who don't know, level drain literally takes away spells and maximum HP for at least 24 hours before V gets a save against permanent loss or a restoration. If the first energy drain only affected the spliced souls, then I imagine the same is true for the maximized one.

Ashenai posted:Not yet, I don't think. I've always said the Familicide spell was unequivocally Evil, but I think V is probably still Neutral. Just tending more and more towards Neutral Evil. Nah, there's nothing evil about killing dragons at all, especially black* ones. It's pretty easy to identify the evil as 'making a demon pact for power.' *lol racism

ConfusedUs posted:The paladin with +5 holy cojones. The paladin who earned hundreds of scars "one saving throw at a time," when he wasn't swimming in huge vats of acid and killing sharks for Xykon's amusement. The paladin who saw his long-term imprisonment and torture not as an ordeal, but as an opportunity. The paladin who taught the monster in the dark that it's not a brainless fool, but merely a slave whose chains are beginning to chafe. The paladin who, when confronted with the person who caused his imprisonment, forgave said person. Just before warning him to never, ever do that to another person. Or else. Wait I thought she died when the castle exploded??

Pope Guilty posted:You're thinking of Miho, the Lawful rear end in a top hat paladin who captured the OotS and very nearly killed Belkar. She was imprisoned in the tower when it was destroyed, was cut in half by the explosion, and will occasionally get to visit her paladin horse in the afterlife. Sarcasm is dead I swear to God.

DoctorTristan posted:He has levels in Feline Urban Ranger, and has chosen Belkar as his humanoid companion. As a humanoid companion Belkar gains a more cunning perspective on the world, and will instinctively protect his master even at great risk to his own life. Scruffy in turn gains the ability to understand common speech, and while he cannot command Belkar directly, he is able to influence him in subtle ways (such as by appearing in his dreams in the guise of an elderly aristocrat whom Belkar respects). Well, I'm going with this as the official explanation now.
