Dave, Fist of Odin
Hokay. Round 7 I drink a potion and get back 6. Round 8 I drink a larger potion and get back 16 - for a total of 22 back. Feelin' fine.
But that's not al! Here are some clobbering rolls:
Round 7: BR 20. Suck it! Br 4 for damage, so 4+1+1+2 = 8x2 = 16 points of damage to Dr. Ankles. Plus, his AC goes to -1, I think.
Round 8: BR 15. That hits AC -1 (assuming the mace works as it should) for (BR 2) 5 more points. Whittle whittle whittle....
And, now Dr. Ankles' AC might be zero. That's like giving the party a double-strength bless. Hee-wack; Odin's grace is bountiful and shit.
