Splug was a fantastic addition to Keep on the Shadowfell, although I think that far too many adventuring groups wrote off the little guy as just another annoying Goblin, there to kill and/or torture for information. They never realized his amazing roleplaying potential. I've seen Splug rise to be loved and cherished, welcomed as an old friend.
Please, give Splug a chance. Splug no hurt. Splug be good.

I miss this guy. I like the updates to him. No more "Do it now"?
ReplyDeleteAll NPC Allies (just like summoned creatures) can perform a minor action at the expense of your minor action; doing it now.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first put out Zug-Zug, he didn't come with anything else (besides total immunity to attacks), so I wanted to explicitly call out his one and only possible function. With the NPCs I did after that, there was already so much room taken up and information to display that putting in the text for the "Do It Now!" power seemed redundant and unneccessary.
But yes, Splug can do it now. Splug do it now real good for new friends.
Also, BTW, just TPK'ed the Tuesday night party (Jesse, Rick, Hagerty, etc) last night in Keep on the Shadowfell.
