I have two green lights, do I hear two more?

Unless there are flaw/feat combinations that my guy should be looking at to make him more effective, I'd say go ahead.

Also, Eldon has no Knowledge (religion) so what can he realize about the attacker without that?
Sadly without a minor knowledge in that field, you can't realize anything else out of the ordinary.

Do I at least realize that the creature wasn't properly alive when it got hit by Havdar and John? (from stuff like there's not blood puring out from the wounds or such)

I can assure you my druid is quite proficient in the use of the riding dog:))
Hmm... Not so proficient after all...  :lmao

Oh it is leaking blood, not gushing mind you, but still leaking, which is why it is hard to ID.

Am I playing John as too crazy? Or am I about good (not too disruptive, I mean.)
[spoiler]Fighter: "I can kill a guy in one turn."
Cleric: "I can kill a guy in half a turn."
Wizard: "I can kill a guy before my turn."
Bard: "I can get three idiots to kill guys for me."

On a strange note, would anyone be put out if we had a post about people or events we can spare a thought for, or if its within their creed, a prayer for? Just a random thought, but ... hells I wouldn't have known about either Archangels daughter or Saeomons niece if I didn't happen to be on these threads.
Sounds fine to me.
probably over on "Off-topic".
might want to put a little disclaimer in the first post.

This is the Min/Max board. We should be able to figure out a way to optimize the POWER OF PRAYER(TM) that doesn't involve "Pazuzu, Pazuzu, Pazuzu".

My final project for my film independent study course. It could do with a watching and critiquing

It's fun so far. I like the sudden mood swings and the 'imaginary friend' part.

Also, I'm trying to roleplay my dwarf's low cha as costantly grumbling and complaining about most bad things that happen around him. Please let me know if it becomes annoying to anyone.

You put three color tags, with only two closers.
To double check, I have two going to the kitchen, one going to the front door, and one going up stairs?

Ah, Smith appears to be staying up front, at least from what was typed, that makes a little more sense now.

LB, Entangle only if the first critter is smart enough to move to one side when he comes in. Otherwise, it is one at a time anyway, so no point to it. If I yell out, Entangle, as it means I am near deactivation.

I can heal you a bit if need be.
Got 2 cleric spells that i can convert to CLW, and for one of them (Moon Lust) I really can't see a use in the foreseeable future).

Half heal on cures on me. Won't help as much, but if you can take the frontline for a round, I can do the same with a repair light damage infusion. We'll switch back the round after. One thing good about being a warforged is that I can swing that sword literally all day and night.

I can. Dog does it better though(19 AC and 13 HP).

Also, been thinking: think it's worth arming the merchants with any backup weapons we might have? I have an extra Club and Dagger.

We should stand in a line so that any fool undead that comes in through the door will face three guys smacking him upside the head rather than just me. We can take turns to 5ft step back to heal without having to switch places if need be.

I'm rather worthless in melee (noncombatant, 8 str, non-prof with spiked glove, I only use it to be able to threaten squares and cast at the same time).

My Idea would be something like this:
xEx
RDS
x-free space
E-Eldon
R-Riding dog
S-Smith
D-square in front of the door.

This way any undead coming through will end up flanked by Smith and the Dog. I can fight defensively(and miss) and will replace myself with a summoned creature in that square ASAP. what do you think?

Depends on whether the undead can diagonal across the doorway. That is why I am in Eldon's square at the moment. I WANT him to come through the door before I smack him one.

In my opinion, diagonaling across the doorway counts as moving diagonally past a corner (which is not allowed by RAW)

It's up to Sohala, but if he rules that attacking diagonal across the doorway is not allowed, then the Smith would have moved to one side of the doorway rather than where he is now.

I can entangle in a cone or line as well, if need be, and can step in to frontline if need be (AC 21 when defensive): I'm not swinging at things though, not really my thing.
[Spoiler]
A gygaxian dungeon is like the world's most messed up game show.

Behind door number one: INSTANT DEATH!
Behind door number 2: A magic crown!
Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY!
They don't/haven't, was the point. 3.5 is as dead as people not liking nice tits.

Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.

Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...
Best metaphor I have seen in a long time.  I give you much fu.
Three Errata for the Mage-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Barbarian-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Monks doomed to die,
One for the Wizard on his dark throne
In the Land of Charop where the Shadows lie.
