Each time you damage a cave bear, it releases a Sunfire-like effect called Bearfire that deals 5d6 fire damage to all within a 30 foot radius. Other bears release similar effects when they take damage. Polar bears have Bearcold, black bears have Bearacid, and brown bears have Bearlightning. Grizzly bears release an effect that deals all four damage types.
I don't see how is it different from real-life bears.
@Artona Indeed, I for one cannot tell you how many times I've fallen victim to bearlightning. It's not quite as damaging as Skunkfire though. And Don't even get me started on Golem Squirrels.
That awkward moment when you realize that Hasbro can make a scene with Optimus Prime, The Monopoly Man, Chandra Naalar, Dorn-Il Khan and Rainbow Dash legally because of how much they own.
Marek logic: I heard you got one half of the antidote back from Lothander. So I'm just gonna hang around in the Blushing Mermaid until you arrive, then I'm going to stand around and not notice your party while they walk up and surround me, and finally I will fight all four or five or six of you instead of running away as fast as I can.
And of course I will keep my part of the antidote conveniently at hand so you can loot it from my body after killing me.
Iron Throne logic: Let's hire a dunce like Marek to kill Charname, and let's give him a sidekick like Lothander who will betray us to Charname if they can rid him of his geas.
Or dual-class thieves but you must have your original class back if you dualled to Thief; otherwise Bodhi sees you as a pure-class thief and refuses to work with you.
@Montresor_SP 1. There is no way Marek could have figured out that quickly that Lothander gave you his half of the antidote. Even if Marek figured out Lothander betrayed him it can only stand to reason that he hired assassins to go after Lothander just in case or figured that Lothander bit the big one before you got a chance to help him via the geas. 2. I'll give you that one, although I believe Marek is smarter than what little we see of him indicates.
Maybe the poison is so toxic they couldn't handle it without it getting into their bodies. No hazmat suits, you know.
Yup. A good reason. Just for the sake of drawing out the scenario a little. I'd also keep the possibility open to double cross those that hired me to do the poisoning, if offered enough by my target. Or even, for that matter, poison my employers and unload them for thousands of gold. Always nice to have other options open for an enterprising person.
@Artona Yup, that's possible . Hmm, unless, I wonder if it would depend on whether or not the assassins were on the payroll or just contracted out to kill CHARNAME in anyway possible? I was thinking he was just contracted out and Marek maybe just decided to use poison over a dagger. Be safer than a toe to toe with potentially experienced fighters and mages. Not sure though. Seems like if he was a full timer, the Iron Throne might very well have kept the antidote locked away. Questions, questions, heh.
Not a single character remembers going to Hell at the end of SOD and acts as if the time they spent in Hell in SOA is the very first time they are there.
"You murdered Skie Silvershield! Evil Bhaalspawn! Hanging's too good for you! Our city hates you!
...but sure, you can attend your trial wearing the helm and cloak of our beloved founder. That's totally cool. Really."
That whole scene is usually bout enough to make my character want to channel the 'Trashcan Man' from The Stand on the whole town. " But I saved you from, and then I kept you from bein, and I, but yur gonna, what tha, why? You dirty rotten no good so n so's, so be it, all I need, is my zippo. Hang this!
Uh, Xzar, of course, for those without a working sarcasm detector. Though Montaron looks like a roadie on loan from a Night Ranger tribute band, come to think of it.
@tbone1 Sorry. While I normally spot sarcasm, I'm not in complete working order when it comes to that, Aspergers and all. It's also incredibly hard to convey tone over the internet, sometimes I need one of the these

It's as much my fault as anyone's. My mom used to say that I spoke English as a second language, after sarcasm. It's something of a family trait.

If you really want to role the dice try fighting three bears with a Level 2 party, that gets crazy.

^re Bodhi not taking Thieves, obviously I knew the latter =P

Aw, but where's the fun in that?

Congrats on making the 500th comment on my thread.
I love you guys that you've helped me to keep my thread alive this long.
17 pages, 504 comments. Thousands of views, you guys warm my heart.
Are we talking about Kolssed or Elminster?

Pro tip: Don't try to use sarcasm if you're in the military. Trust me, don't. Those guys don't have a keen sense of humor.
