Bear Strength is very strong. So is Ghoul Rot. So is Flameblast. So is Teleport. They are balanced. Not busted.

As a wizard I revel in sadistic glee every time I watch some kind of massive 9-attack-dice creature charge at me only to get Teleported away, Banished, or Slept. :)

This is why you can cast Dispel and Purge Enchantments in the same turn

Oh crud... I won a game against my friend awhile ago partially due to stacking two Agony on him. I don't think it was the game determinant, but it shut his weapon down pretty badly. Guess I have to tell him now that enchants of the same name don't stack...

Heh, we all did that when we started, one way or another. Also, this thread is from 2012.
I can take the fun out of anything. It's true; here, look at this spreadsheet.

Was he still rolling a minimum of one die? That's a rule I missed when I was first testing.

We should make a thread of all our early noob mistakes, like putting a Harmonize on a Mana Flower.

He was rolling 5 die without the double agony so he still had one die. That said, a 1 die full attack wasn't really worth it. Glad the one die minimum is a rule though, I'll make sure to remember that next time!

Wow...I just posted about this on the thread that was subsequently created.  Oops.  I actually posted that before I read this :D
