Constantine is rather of the opinion that magic is a horrible joke, and tends to go out of his way to not accumulate more power. His shtick is more of a "so long as I have at least one friend left, I'M UNSTOPPABLE!"

Actually, that does sort of follow. Hellblazer magic tends to follow the rule of power coming with sacrifice. Usually at a hefty loss.

I think the only reason Kubota succeeded was because it was a touch attack against a flat-footed (or flanked. whatever) target. If he'd stuck around to kill the other three, it would just have given them that 5% chance they needed to hit him.

Actually, elf children age and mature at the same rate as human children for their first 10-15 years :eng101:

So being gone for 6 of those years would be pretty bad.

Wait, do they? I mean, that's certainly convenient (poopy diapers for years, the horror), but where does it say this?

Clerics are the same way. You have to uphold whatever your god stands for or you lose all your nifty reality-bending abilities, and are stuck as a crappy fighter. Druids, too I suppose, they have to maintain the balance of nature, whatever the gently caress that means. For every humanoid life they save, they gotta plant a tree?

That's generally how D&D handles things. At most, the local star system is the Prime Material. The outer and inner planes are adjacent, but separate and independent.

Death doesn't have to be Evil, after all.

Death doesn't have to be, but vampires (in D&D, at least) unequivocally are.

The mind affecting ones are pretty much a crap shot, on the one hand he's undead, which disallows a lot of stuff that affects the mind, but then again he's still intelligent so some of them might still work. Any of the psychokinetic powers will work just fine, though.

Tsk tsk Hel. You just got a front row seat for an examination of the conventions of narrative and what happens to those who don't understand them, and you're letting your servant keep Durkon around?

I'll see you in say late 2016 for the 'Oh, Durkon finally amassed enough willpower to break free at a crucial time? Because he's a hero and a stubborn dwarf and you're an arrogant god who can't see the power in such things? Even after those likely happenings were literally dangled in front of your face? TOLD YOU SO.'

In just about any other circumstance this would be a valid concern, but this is just how D&D vampires work. Durkon can have all the willpower in the universe, but it won't matter for gently caress all. He's not getting out until somebody stakes Durkula.

vv also true

Elan nattering on about dwarven songs reminded Durkon of dwarven songs which allowed Durkula to get the scoop on dwarven songs. However useful that might be.

Gods are notably short-sighted, even when they play a long game. Unless specified otherwise, any god should be able to scry the future to some degree, with high accuracy, whenever they want. It seems that they often don't.

My personal theory is that those that could DO, at least at first, but that poo poo gets mad dull and they give up on it eventually. More fun to role with the punches.

For someone without a working knowledge of the Monster Manual, what does lightning do to a golem? I just remember most spells not working on them at all in Baldur's Gate.

It energizes them. Lightning + golem of stitched together corpse bits = hyper flesh golem.

It's a Frankenstein reference.

It's okay, it took me a bit to put together in my mind, too. Like, who even uses flesh golems, anyway? Stone and steel are way better, and clay is easier.
