You feel a rumble come from beneath your feet.
Dirt and rock explode from the ground beneath you as a scaled mountain worm erupts from underground and crashes onto the surface!
Rocks and dirt pelt you as you are thrown into the air!
... 60 points of damage!
Strike to your abdomen ruptures your internal organs!

It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...

You mentally give a sigh of relief as you remember that the Goddess Lorminstra owes you a favor.

...departing in 16 mins...

Wished I'd saved my death from the ball effect from a cold blast with a 101 endroll.

Yeah, at least back when you got to see that there was an open ended crit roll. I'd be kinda peeved too if I died like that. 150 frigging ranks in Dodge, you'd think that'd getyou something.

Mine was that until I killed one of those swaggering shan overlords in the lastest Sol invasion.

Also, that is far too blantant copyright from the Last Samurai.

My thoughts exactly when I saw him list his gear/training.

It's definitely the plate.

On one side, yes the platemail slows your dodging. But I still disagree with the crit. He was "pelted" with dirt and rocks. This is not "crushed" Its pelted. I want to see someone kill a man (dwarf..) wearing metal plate from head to toe and a shield by throwing rocks. Its a joke.

I agree.. it's bullshit. Like the stone hand attack in Illoke... Walk in and immediately get nailed by that stone hand. Completely unencumbered... fully 2x dodge... only wearing hauberk... high dex, strength, const, agil...

Sad part is.. he has a MUCH better chance of hunting those type of maneuvers in robes than in plate.
