D&D 2E [2E][THAC0's Hammer] Episode 12 - Ogre Magi!

[SmokestackJones]

Okay, this episode finds DMs Glen, Cory and Brian asking Where's My Assassin, debating the pros and cons of Sandbox vs. Adventure Path-type play, figuring out how to build Custom Magic Items, taking a good long (but not too close) look at the Ogre Magi and thumb through Aurora's Whole Realms Catalog.

The hammer's down again! Come listen:

I played a Ogre Magi Wizard Thief from the 2e Humanoids Handbook.

He had a +3 oversized No-Dachi that did something like 2d20 to large creatures. He flew invisibly and backstabbed a giant, rolling two '20's and did 163 damage! He also had a +1 Life Stealer. The only target I ever rolled a 20 on was a 1hd Vapor Rat.

Fun, but I had to divide all xps by 8! (multiclass, ogremage, exceeded level limits)
