what does belkar's clasp do again?

It brought him back to conscious once (after getting knocked out in 1127), but I don't know what it is or does because I don't remember where he got it from.

[Rolan7]

Thanks for reminding me of 1127, it's a good place to start recalling an excellent narrative climax.

I don't know why Belkar woke back up, though.  The wiki says:

But when the party was knocked out and the vampires had apparently won, Mr. Scruffy activated Belkar's Protection from Evil clasp, releasing him from the vampiric domination. Seeing his chance to finally settle the score with the vampire Durkon, he killed Ponchula and leaped to attack "Durkon" while he was distracted with Durkon's memories. Durkon, having gained control of himself, lowered his antilife shell and bared his chest for Belkar, who descended on him and drove a stake through his heart, destroying the vampire who disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

Oh... I checked, and the effect does suppress charm/compulsion/possession effects.  Temporarily, but fair enough.

That doesn't explain why he woke up, but it does explain why he was free.  And maybe he woke up because he's just.  That.  Mad.

Heck, maybe he raged and regained enough HP to be conscious.  Is that RAW?  It's cool as heck!

It's a brooch with a Protection From Evil spell, activated possibly by some kind of button or mechanism on it, as opposed to but similar to a command word. He bought it from a gnome girl in Tinkertown, at half price because she was worried she made a defective item(it was paining him and he was trying to hide his Evil alignment). He felt guilty about it, and turned her down when she asked him out afterwards.

Possible, but since he would have gained only 2HP(he has one level of Barbarian), he would have been at a minimum -1HP. PRE-EDIT: Nevermind, he was unconscious from non-lethal damage(note: the link you have goes to 1130, not 1127), so gaining that 2HP could have brought him over his non-lethal damage. So yeah, RAW. I don't know if the rage HP gain also removes non-lethal, since it's not a "spell or magical power".

I thought it was a ring, but it is indeed a brooch.  It provides Protection from Evil which, like all Protection from [alignment] effects, prevent mental domination from any source.  Since he is technically evil, it has caused him discomfort when wearing it.

Protection against yourself. Kind of like a condom.

Found it, 969 it is. I want to scream and cry and applaud.

looking at human history, sunny is absolutely correct: hands are OP

[Kagus]

That's a lot of successful acrobatics checks right there

That's a lot of successful acrobatics checks right there

DC25 Climb("A rough surface, such as a natural rock wall or a brick wall."), and probably DC20 Jump(10 feet, no running start) checks. She probably gets a +1 or +2 to the Climb check by using her Adamantine dagger as an improvised piton/icepick.

I don't know what skill checks are involved with "Flying boot to the head".

[Lord Shonus]

Using the adamantine knife as a piton would probably reduce the Climb DC.

[Mathel]

Probably an unarmed attack.

If it was Pathfinder I would guess a bull rush attempt, except with your feet as the horns and your butt as the bulls head

[Rolan7]

I think bull rush would be right in 3.5 as well.  With a bonus to the strength roll since the target's a size category smaller.

I was going to say that the total concealment grants a 50% miss chance, but I guess there's no attack roll - just the strength check!  Pretty clever.
