Oh, just sat around in Red Mountain, mostly. Invaded the minds of people in their dreams, turned them crazy. Sent creepy creatures around Vvardenfell to cause trouble. That kind of thing. Red Mountain's eruption was in fact a result of his power source getting destroyed by the Nerevarine, due to said power source providing power for the Tribunal Gods as well. Power which prevented a giant meteor from impacting the island.

Basically, the idea is that on very good rolls, he can have a extra counter attack against projectiles. I figured that it would not happen very often. How often does a 5 vs 1 or 6 vs 2 or 6 vs 1 happen anyway?

Thing is also, it's got a bonus but no penalty. And I don't think you mean those, I think you mean, (1 vs. 5), (1 vs. 6), or (2 vs. 6), since it activates on the defensive, correct?

As for your question, it happens pretty regularly.

To be honest, it's quite frankly amazing how statistically improbable dice results can be. It's like the dice follow their own rules of drama and comedy.

Disclaimer: I just put what the die tell me, even they are ridiculous. Like in the final phase of the Sean Mirrsan RTD Forum battle, the die was just rolling 1's and 6's. Even I said, "Really?"

Oh, I know they're real rolls. I was making an observation that dice are generally ridiculous that way. It's kind of the main reason why RTDs generally work better as comedies than serious games - the dice certainly have a sense of humor.

A bonus? Where? The +2 part? Those were just ripped right from the item descriptions. Also, the bastard sword would be a 2-hander for anyone else. And remove the Bhaalswpawn bit, read up a bit and learned a bit more. Sigh, wish I hadn't lost the disk, so much fun in watching some unarmed guy punch a dragon to death. Been a while since I last played.

No, I was talking about the extra counter. The rolls you listed are pretty common.

Change Minscs shield to give a +1 versus projectiles that are not magic. That should be a good replacement.

EDIT: Turn?

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but the mane 6 appear to have plot armor. Instead of dying, some situation makes it so they just leave the battle for some reason, except for RD, who is immortal as confirmed by word of god. Well, pinkie could be said to of died, but that was probably just pinkie being pinkie. This overall, however seems to indicate a major plot element. Thoughts?
Related note: The stories, Harmony's Wrath and Eris's Riddle, both seem to be rather good, and the idea of Celestia being evil is something that they have in common with this. And, they are also quite well written. Wonder if that is the original source for this idea?

Also, hoping that the next battle message begins with: Warning! Class 12 Psionic Waveform Detected! Such a opponent would be !!FUN!!

He said that only Rainbow Dash is immortal, he also said that the rest were NOT immortal, because the thread was going on about how you would torture a immortal.

Uh...No. Here's what TCM said.

So, I want to address a certain key point with everyone. Certain characters, including the Mane 6, are immortal due to their importance in the story. Before you say this isn't fair, realize that any immortal characters that have "died" are treated the same as their mortal counterparts. So, they leave the Party, and can come back if their spot comes up on the waitlist again. So R.D. isnt actually dead, she's just removed from the party like a dead character.

Probably not, it's just a Teddy from a different universe every time or something. Is it wrong that I see horrifying torture potential with the immortality?
Is Teddy an immortal character by virtue of me signing up as him again in the waitlist every time he dies?

No, Teddy dies, the difference is he resurrects as opposed to going to the hospital and healing.

There's not really torture potential either, seeing as how the waitlist means you'll have to sit out a ton of fights if you die before you come back.

Also, I've decided R.D. is the only immortal character for 'secret but fun' reasons....
Rather a different way to put it, methinks that refutes your erroneous statement.
