Oh, look who failed their will saves.
EVERYONE.

Everybody on the GitP forum seems surprised that Hilgya failed her save roll. Also. V and Minrah didn’t fail their rolls. And Kudzu, but that may be due to notDurkon promising to not hurt him.

That's the nature of die-based game systems, yaknow. Don't matter how much wisdom you've got when you roll a Nat 1.

I'm pretty sure Kudzu is safe because Durkula doesn't consider him a real threat. Also, Dominate is a standard action. I think that based on Roy's attacks and the vampire's eyes, it's been two rounds. One the first round, Roy threw his sword as a standard action attack, then Durkula dominated someone. Poncho girl also fired a dominate on her turn. Then they all did the same thing again on the next round. None of the Order targets made their will save, so the vampires succeeded on 4/4 attempts.

Hilgya is supposed to have high will due to being a high level cleric (certainly the same level as the rest of the party. Though as mentioned in the GitP forum, bad rolls happen.

@enemy post: Durkula did promise not to hurt the kid. However, he hasn’t told his minions not to, which could be a pretty big loophole since Durkula only said that he would leave the kid alone. I suppose it depends on what flavor of evil Durkula is.

Vampires aren't supposed to be trivial, no. Sure, they have a ton of weaknesses that never seem to apply when you need them to.


I was wrong, V's Fireball only killed three of the vampires it hit. One in the very back of the blast, really hard to see through the flames, that visibly survived.

Also, did one of those vampires directly target Belkar's Protection from Evil accessory? While PfE doesn't stop Domination from hitting, it does stop the dominator from commanding the target.

... Yes, the hugs are for everyone.  No stabbing, though.  Just hugs.

Hard to tell if that one actually survived or not. It’s not ‘visibly survived’, it seems to be taking the core of the fireball right in the face, with the bright core obscuring whether it died or not. I can just barely see X’d out eyes for that one, so, it’s definetly four killed with one succeeding in their dodge roll.

The consensus on GitP appears to be that the item is fine, but it works by casting the buff when activated. The active PfE buff was dispelled, and Dominated Belkar has no desire to reactivate it.

Or the raven. Though Blackwing probably shares the same will stat as V. They most likely ignored the kitty as a non-threat.

It'd never work on the cat or Blackwing; the vampire's dominate works as Dominate Person, which only affects humanoids.
