I guess we aren't getting Bogroll back. *Frown*

Wow, Xykon is badass.

Quite.

Also, in before the server breakdown:

I guess his saves didn't go up with the extra levels. Must have just gotten caster levels and spellslots.

So does Drain mean that Xykon is sucking up all the levels for himself, or just that the souls are hemorrhaging their power?

Just hemorrhaging. If he could use limited wish/wish to cast divine spells, he could even get rid of it, but his agreement won't allow that. Although he could probably wish it away anyway, but he might not even have that spell at this point.

Think of it more as adding a negative, rather than actually directly subtracting from his levels.

Edit: Seriously though; Xykon is fucking badass.

V so had this coming.

"Hey check it, I got epic level spell slots, nothing could possibly top my game now, amirite?"

EDIT: Also, how the hell does Redcloak know about Soul Splices, especially since it was so incredibly unique when the FCC set it up?

Origin of Darkness?

Yeah, I kind of figured he was getting more out of the deal than just the spell slots. Still, with the amount of power he's packing, he could have accomplished this with just the slightest bit of forethought. Go in shapechanged, or use some buffs to boost your saves/gain immunities Hell, if he (or his spliced souls) knew what one was, he could have shapechanged into a Phaerimm, which, as I recall, are BAD NEWS for primary casters.

Of course, V decided NOT to do anything like that, and is probably well on the way to destruction now.

He's a nerd. He probably read about them somewhere but didn't necessarily know about this exact soul splice. Just something similar.
