    That's a "three natural twenties in a row" hit.

    It's overkill because he was a 0 level human anyway.

    I like to think of that shot as the most simple way to explain MDC vs SDC damage.

    I was sad they didn't show the battle at the interior gate.

    and here's me, thinking a shot like that should have simply gone through the target rather than lifting him... but still, badass.

    wouldn't be able to fly with that kind of drag, though!

    They aren't heavy, just strong, and the barbs, and barbules hook into the flesh of the target.

    BTW, I am making all this up as I go along : )

Winter demanded shoes but no socks, a cast-off Mackinaw, and a trailing cap made from the leg of old underwear. He was oddly religious, and suspicious of being poisoned. Surviving on snared rabbits and fish, he ofte...
