Githyanki Sword (+2 or 3 of sharpness and could sever your connection to your body on the astral plane)

Githyanki Silversword special minor artifacts that were +5 Vorpal Two Handed Swords also note they could lop off a head on a 15 or better.

You're probably right.

It was a long time ago (he was in college at the time, and he graduated in 1986), so I may have forgotten some details.

Although I do seem to remember something to the effect that the aforementioned Vorpal Blade was ensorceled to guard the door to a particular treasure room.

If my brother was using the character I think he was ("Gorum El-Hulko", a huge Human with 18-97 Strength--and, unfortunately, low Intelligence --whose job was primarily as a doorbreaker), then he would've been the first one through the door.

Edit:

Deleted double post.

Githyanki knights had vorpal silver swords, usually +1-3, but the queen has +5. As I recall, in 2nd ed, a natural 20 was a beheading, and in first, for a +5, 16-20 naturallly rolled meant your head was gone.



PHHHBBBTTTT, that was awesome. We'll have to start a "Ask PHHHBBBTT ... about places" thread.

AAAHHH! Threadjack.
Drop bears upon you all.

Thump.


Thump.......thump, thump, thump



Thump.



Rar!

Perhaps we should consider methods of drop bear protection.

The new Ares Deftech™ Drop Bear Repelling Umbrella! Made with a collapsing steel-plastic alloy, this device shields you from both rain and Rar! as you traverse the wild Australian Outback. Collapse it and it becomes the patented Ares Deftech™ Ward Stick, a potent stun baton able to shock most pesky Drop Bears into further complacency. May also be used horizontally as a shield, in case those aborigines think they have the right to arm bears.

But the recommended Australian tourist board advice to ward off drop bears is to douse yourself with your urine...

Don't take chances.

Pee on yourself, and have someone else pee on your Ares Deftec Umbrella. Remember, you never know when the Drop Bear will strike, so go prepared at all times, even in downtown Sydney.

And don't forget to constantly have a container of urine as a ready supply since we all know that Australia is hot and the urine will evaporate quickly, especially in the summer heat.

Actually, Pratchett recommends a bamboo reinforced wizard hat for repelling drop bears... The expression on the first drop bears face as it drops is priceless.

Mmmm.... drop bear shish kabobs... koalas on a stick! Wheee... Only problem with eating them, aren't they loaded with HMVWW(?) If so, I guess eating is not a good idea.

nah, use the flesh for appetizers at your Johnson's Son's Barmitzfah...

Or serve if your ex-wife.

I'm more interested in the application of kosher regulations on HMHVV

*sigh*

so if a ghoul eats a vampire, or vice-versa.... does it become a vampiric ghoul.... or just full?

Does this human urine come in different degrees of effectiveness, like sunblock?

Like DBR-80?

Does it come in chemical knock offs as well, or synthetic blends?

Does it contain deet?

reminds me of the quote from "exotic enchanting materials" for dragon fluids -

"You want me to do what in that cup.

A classic.

It's alive! ALIVE!

Now, here's something I've been thinking about:
Supposedly, the vampires have a global conspiracy, correct? Why can't the other HMHVV critters be included, or have conspiracies of their own?

I mean, shoot, nobody suspects the drop bear...

Best protection I've found against drop bears is not to leave the landrover, if you have too try to have an autogyro drone above your head at all times. The second version is a bit messy, but very effective.

OOC- Nice to get back in country and see this thread alive and well. Good job all.

[Jarring Post]

NOBODY expects a Drop Bear! Amongst their weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the eucalyptus tree, and nice red fur - Oh damn!

Are you guys completely ignoring Nikoli's posts, or just not reading the thread?

I think it is pretty clear you guys don't take the drop bear conspiricy threat seriously. You are out of the DBSC (Drop Bear Slayer Club) for sure.

Remember that drink 'koala', form back inthe '80's? That's funding right there. Add that to your list Nikoli, well funded since the 1980's (well, meybe not well, heavne't seen those in a while). Makes me wonder what the secret ingredient was.

*sigh*

It's so sad to see so many gamers miss a Monty Python paraphrase...

Bring out the rack!

I'm ashamed that I missed it. I got it after Jrayjoker pointed it out if that's in any way redeeming.

Thanks Gyro, for pointing out a flaw in my defenses. I'm working on impoving them by making a giant motorized hamsterball. Until then wish me luck.

Some circus-theme music playing in the back. Nice.

Anyone else reminded of an episode of South Park?

You could have said "Nobody expects Drop Bears!" again, so I could finish the reference.

*sigh*

STILL waiting for those supposed Killer Rabbit SR stats location.....

Think they were just joking around can't find it in any of my books, including Critters and Paranormal Animals of Europe.

Now concentrate on the threat that noone, not even I, suspects... THE DROPBEARS!
