Players, state your actions.

They do not.

"Maybe if you were more accurate with your spells. Sit tight Kheyli, this next heal should take it down."

"You're all just going let Kheyli sit in there?" Boris lets loose another healing from the front row at the Tyrannosaur.

"Rather harsh." The ogre takes a drink. "Ya get used to it."

Bummer.

"Quite a journey then, ya must have hit the Low Land Canal at the right time and avoided bein' sank by the Bonaparte's patrols. Traveled alone then?"

"That's quite an exile, how'd ya land on Eubric out of all places?"

You mean Hoke? I'm quite enjoying the dialog actually. Skrall would probably side with Hoke on the issue where it concerns the old-gods, but I can see how Arthur views it more as an entire viewpoint as opposed to a single position.

"Sod it all my good man, ya must have been in some deep trouble if ya had to run that far to get away. Didn't even know there were folks out there."

The vampire takes care to sidestep out of the way of the burning blade, refocusing his efforts on the creature. "I hope this deterring everyone from pursuing necromancy in the future."

QM Note: A new counter will be created for when units will follow you to the new location (1-2 rounds later). Some units, like the drillm won't follow you because they are focused on other tasks.

Boris looks over at Jennifer before repeating. "You alright?"

While it can last multiple turns, it only affords you a single turn of invulnerability either by stopping one Damage/Special Damage/Free Hit. Blinded stops Damage and Free Hits for three rounds, while Asleep/Fast Asleep stop multiple Free Hits for three/six turns. In terms of usefulness for debilitating enemies generally Petrified>Blinded=Sealed>Fast Asleep>Asleep>Stunned. There are exceptions and a lot of it is situational.

Blinding and Asleep last longer generally, stunned really only buys you a single turn .

Cool new character design, Cutcobra.

"That'll do." Boris stows, his tonic and focuses his healing on the Tyrannosaur from the back row.

Then it becomes a scroll that low level heroes can never use and eventually a high enough level mage will easily shrug off the cost. How about 1/4 of the caster's Ether? It's a pretty steep cost but it would at least scale better across all the level spectrum.

No. Dark bombs would be too effective since Humanoid is the most common type of monster and a Scroll of Stunning would essentially act as an unlimited sometimes works Bone, which isn't really that useful.

Hence why a better worded ether cost would help it's balance. Additionally that squishy mage is going to need another squishy mage in the party.

Yes and no, it's rather situational in that it requires an ally to cast, only lasts for three rounds, and it limits the target from using their ether at risk of dropping their defense. The only thing I might suggest changing is the casting cost so at higher levels it wouldn't be too extreme.

The vampire stands surprised at the protective aura, but quickly helps Mac to his feet. "Couldn't leave you hanging there now could we? How about a little encouragement for Jinnipher, Mac?" Boris smiles and downs a tonic from the back row.

I see the point in if you can use consumables on dragons, why not permanent boosts and agree. The +1 to health while not fully intended, I would rule as allowable and not game breaking.
