Stupid orcs! You see how I got that door open, man, I almost made it!

No worries, you can bet your ass that Khar would have done the same thing to you. This was pre piercing gaze; I don't think I got killed by an assassin or thief (one on one, at least) once that power came into play. Though I could be wrong, and I do remember having to flee more than once. Blindness dust really messes with APs, IMHO.

As to the hours, Khar was just fun to play. I came close to deleting about three times over the course of her life, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Emperor powers are so sweet, so nice, so hard to just give up like that! I was also either Sect Leader or Empress after 113 hours, so I had leader age and con for almost the entire life of this character.

I forgot to thank Gromkonk for one of his age-reducing withers (the only age-reducing wither that ever got me). I think he shaved 30 hours off of Khar. Not that I would have minded playing those 30 hours, but I was ready for the ride to end.
