How about the d20 modern paradigm? Firearms do a fair amount of damage, plus the massive damage threshold is equal to your Con score. So any good shot has a chance of killing you outright.

Vendan observes the exchange between the old cleric and the young monk. "Well, we came all this way, I think we should investigate. Climbing that wall to get a good look around seems like a good idea to me. Either way, I was saving a spell of protection for myself, but Yun, I'll cast it on you...

"Great Ol' Del, I'm looking forward to meeting you again!" Vendan waves goodbye to the trapper. At the fork in the road Vendan hangs back a bit, knowing his senses aren't the sharpest. [Wisdom of 6!]

Assuming Del has a simple yes or no answer to Vendan, he's moving on.

"Del, no thanks, I don't need any just now. But I'll tell you what. You must have some skills at stealth to be a trapper and to evade notice of a dragon, no? And you must have some pretty good survival skills to be travelling out here alone. If you do, I'd be willing to pay good money if you...

I was interpreting the 'spooks' comment to mean undead. But I guess it could mean anything.

"Jayla, what do you think? From what we know of dragons, I think they will be extremely difficult foes. Even if we face it alone, and we prepare spells and... whatever it is you do... specifically for it. " "Chatrilon, on the other hand, probably doesn't have a breath weapon and probably can't...

I wonder if there's anything we could do to prepare for meeting undead and dragons... (looks hopefully at the cleric)

"Well, that's certainly interesting that someone would lie about the existence of evil clerics, gnolls, dragons, and... spooks, don't you think?" Vendan smirks. "But what do you mean exactly by spooks? I mean there are all kinds of spooks. Did they look mindless, or did they look intelligent...

Vendan also has a rank in Knowledge (Local) for the gnolls. +4 mod. Basically he's got one rank in everything besides arcana and religion, giving him a +4 mod for all knowledge skills except for arcana (+10) and religion (+13).

Yeah, Vendan also has Skill Focus (Knowledge Religion), so his knowledge mod for religion and arcana are pretty high (+10 arcana, +13 religion). If the game lasts that long he's gonna become a Divine Oracle then Loremaster.

"Really? All that at the moathouse? There's this fellow Chatrilon back at Hommlett, he says he goes out to the moathouse all the time, but never saw anything there. You know the guy? Chatrilon?" Vendan describes Chatrilon to Old Del.

Vendan waits with interest for the man's answer, wondering what kind of company that would be. Then suddenly the stink of dead animals and... wet dog assaults his nostrils. He steps back a little behind Yun and looks around.

I like this thread. eom.

"Other fools? What other fools? What kind of fools would be hanging around there?" "About the dragon though, did you see where it's lair is or did you just see it flying around? Is there a way to get close to it's lair?" Vendan looks at the dead animals, wondering what they are.
