[Wids]

Well, it took me about a month and a half to come back, though first I had to surmount the "Rarrrgh, I'm so angry and emotional and frustrated and hormonal and having a bad week and ragequit!!!" stage, which was followed closely by the "Oh, damn, I was such an angsty prig and I want to go back but I'm too ashamed to show my face around the forums and the server again and face the music" stage, which was then followed by the "Damn it, self, a bunch of stupid aballins aren't worth chucking the entire server aside, and it's still your favorite server despite the aballins, and Legacy of the North isn't nearly as good, and neither is Forgotten Realms: Cormyr, and Thay is really the only server where you're actually having fun and being something more significant than boot-polishing ego fodder for some other player's Epic-Level PC, so you'd better just swallow your pride already, get back in there and apologize for being a whiny brat" stage. So, you know, I apologize for being a whiny brat. Mea maxima culpa. :(

I suppose that Jaliskar has actually fared pretty well against aballins, and if I had to pin down what makes her so handy against them, I'd have to say that it's a combination of Acid resistance and high Reflex saves. If I can get all of my characters whatever items they need to buff Acid resistance and Reflex saves, aballins might become something less than moist, slithering chunks of inevitable death.

Well, I guess I'd better see if I can pick Corella off the ground, stand her up straight and wipe all the slime off her face. She's pretty handy against undead, so maybe I should focus on that. I wonder if she might stumble across any ochre jellies in the crypts hither and yon.... :-/
