07-22-06, 10:47 AM The best item ever is the spool of endless rope. You can repell yourself down an endless pit to save your partys blumbiling barbarian and it only ways around 5lbs! Also I play a ninja in Ebberon with said spool and I once was paid to kill a guy by another party member and made my escape by repelling down the 500 foot tower down to the cogs. :D

You can't save the barbarian. It's physics at work. You would fall at the same speed, thus he would remain below you, since you took the time to tie the spool.

Also didn't you say magic was for the weak? magic like say, the endless rope...

Plasma cannon. Much better...

It would be exceptonally easy to save the barbarian as long as the bottomless pit does not reside in a vacuum. All you need to do is flatten your body and tell the barbarian to stretch his arms and the air resistance will slow him down enough for you to catch up with him. Not exactly rocket science. I'm wondering about a more direct application of the rope. If you were to pull out a huge hunk of it, then throw it on top of someone and then just hold the bag over their heads, the rope would continue falling on top of them. Unless they can escape the quickly growing pile of rope with exceptional speed, you could in thoery crush them to death under the weight of the infinitely large pile of rope.

07-22-06, 08:19 PM My fav is the endless water bottle. I remember it saying it can shoot out 30 gal every 60 secs.

I thought about finding a cave into the underdark and slowly flooding it out. That would show those damn drow!

Kidding right? If not, as soon as you cut the rope, it disappears.

But you still had to take the time to secure the spool (unless you want to spend eternity falling too), by which time it would be too late to catch the barbarian, since by that time i'd imagine echos would reduce any call you give to meaningless sound.

And anyway the problem with a spool of endless rope is that all it takes is one knife when say, your climbing down a tower, and suddenly what you really need is feather fall.

07-23-06, 10:20 AM since it sounds like you're in sharn, you can tie off a couple of stories above your target, absail down silently, kill, and scuttle back up- and best of all- no one will be cutting your rope, sending you plummeting into the cogs, or a bridge below.

Why do you think he quotes Albert Einstein? Waki's just another genius we can't comprehend... ;)

There's a term for that... And a very thin line to cross

07-23-06, 02:03 PM Throw the end of the rope to your friend or just have a pre-tied loop at one end of the rope and you can hook it to something really quickly. You don't really even need to yell out to your barbarian friend anyway, because the average barbarian can still probably figure out that he goes slower with his arms out. Failing that, just tell the barbarian if he ever falls down a bottomless pit to stretch out his arms.
