That and deus ex machina named Jarlaxle, he's a god damn swiss army knife of plot resolution. Shit, in a live VR QA with R.A. Salvatore, he even said as much, that when he doesn't know how to resolve a plot he leans on Jarlaxle.

To be fair I have a 5lb panther that can easily do 1d4 damage pouncing on me in my sleep.

[-] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 3 points 1 year ago

so what you're telling me is that rangers should be doing 120d4 of damage every time they send in the cats

[-] Lexam@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I don't think that would be game breaking at all.

I used to play a high level monk and had, I don't even remember now, but something like 20-30 attacks per turn. Rolling for all that was bad enough. If you were playing with actual dice rolling 120d4 would give everyone else a chance to go to the store every time you took a turn.

I read those stories like 20 years ago. Good to see them coming up again! Is he still writing?

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 year ago

I think so. I'm in the same boat as you. Last book of his I bought when it came out was the silent blade.

Dude you just tickled a part of my brain I haven't thought about Ina long time. These books filled a ton of empty time at a call center job back in the day.

Funny when that happens. I think I set them down in 2000 and never picked them up again.

His Canticle series is pretty good tbf
