    [​IMG] She is twice my size on my computer. I thought she was human and not a giant.

    And what weapon is she holding? A spear or staff or what?

    [​IMG] It's the same old story... plots to become evil goddess - celebrates with chocolate - and before you know it, WHAM!! On goes 300 pounds thanks to Fruit and Nut. :p

    The weapon? Maybe a stear, or even a spaff.
    I don't know. Maybe someone clever who pokes around in a game's entrails could tell you.

    It's part of the evil Melissan animation. It can't be unequipped.

    And obviously she'll get a bit bigger when she's feeding off the essence of Bhaal himself. ;)

    Well, it *is* more intimidating than her normal form (human female mage).

    The weapon looks like a spear to me, sorta refreshing after all the sword-wielding foes.

    Edit: Did I say it looks like a sword? Hmm, I guess I was a bit sword minded when I wrote it... *sigh*

    [​IMG] That's no Melissan, that's Amelyssan!

    Yeah, I think you're right. Chewie lock in the auxillary power...


    Really though, is it a halberd? Because it looks like a spear, at least that was the impression I've been under. But then again, during that fight, I've got more important things to be worrying about then what her weapon looks like :p.

    Actually Jon is rather large for an Elf, at least he looks that way up next to mine. Oh, and he's ripped, ever seen a buff Elf?

    I think she's overcompensating for something :)

    BTW, she doesnt carry a Halberd, she carries a Spear. Get an infinity game searcher or whatever and look it up :)

    Mace/cleric? Eek, she hits so hard I always thought her to be a fighter/mage.

    About Big Jon and big Amelissan: Yeah Jon stole your soul, but Amelyssan was having a bath in some thousands of Bhaalspawn souls.
    (Even in that fat guys essence you faced in the first challenge<- a bl****d murderer I think... :) )
