Reminded me of an old Reddit post (the old database is still useful to search for) showing Gandalf’s true nature. Dude wasn’t a wizard, he was a multiclass fighter with an 18 in INT.
Was about to post it. Always wanted to actually make that character, but all my friends moved off of 3.5 before I got a chance.
You really think any of them were high enough level to take on that Balrog? He was looking out for them! No group XP in LotR, otherwise Gandalf could have spent a few days powerleveling them beforehand.
Also they were on similar level, Gandalf and the balrog, it’s a boss enemy he’d be on fairly equal footing if he was allowed to be his full divine abilities. The rest may have been able to take it on if they were willing to die, since I believe that’s the only way that balrogs were killed in the past by great elf warriors.
No rezzes in LotR (unless you’re a Maia like Gandalf), so definitely not worth it. The quest was too important!
Technically the elves can come back, they usually just don’t want to.
I’m fairly sure that this is technically true, but basically only because Tolkien accidentally named two different characters Glorfindel and decided to explain it away.
My favorite is how Fëanor was such a shitty little kid that his mom asked the gods to invent death so she could get some sleep.
They killed eachother though. So he had to run all the way back to loot.
If the Dwarves hadn’t dug too deep, Gandolf would never have become The White. You’re welcome, Middle Earth.
And he got the crazy expensive white dye to show off!
Tell me more about this white “dye”.
You need to farm for a life time to afford it.
You can craft it from bone meal
Well it was a hidden boss. So, of course, the reward would be something exceptional.
Like kicking people out of the instance just before the loot drops
What an asshole
Dammit, Gandalf!
Stealing my kills bro!
