No purchases.

You go first.

[Gauntlet]

Finn round 1
FRA- sprint 120ft. Using 105ft. to reach S13, then looking for any LoS.

LoS?

Stats:HP 12/12
AC 17 (11, 16)
Mainhand: Tanglefoot Bag
Offhand: Guisarme (not wielded), Buckler.
Carried: Heavy Crossbow, Bolts, Thunderstones, Potions of RLD, Sunrod.

[Sallera]

LoS established. Finn is in S13, Kirabee is in V13, and the psicrystal is in L13.

[Samb]

Ref question
Ummm how did Finn get here so fast? He can't run in a straight line from his starting position unless he made a jump check In the middle of his run and I'm not even sure if you can do that on a full out run.

Also my psicrystal is in the way so tumble check would be needed as well which again, I don't think you can do that on a full run.

[Scorer]

Init Ref Scorer

Spoiler contains Run rules


Run

You can run as a full-round action. (If you do, you do not also get a 5-foot step.) When you run, you can move up to four times your speed in a straight line (or three times your speed if you’re in heavy armor). You lose any Dexterity bonus to AC unless you have the Run feat
(...)

You can’t run across difficult terrain or if you can’t see where you’re going.

A run represents a speed of about 12 miles per hour for an unencumbered human.


Under my interpretation, he can't run because the hole 5 foot quicksand, the planks and the psicrystal count as difficult terrain.

[Sallera]

Hmm, I should have noticed some of this stuff earlier. *facepalm* Ok... psicrystal is three sizes smaller, so I don't think a tumble check is required. I don't think the planks count as difficult terrain unless scattered, but the stairs may. You're right that a jump check would be necessary, although I see no reason why it wouldn't be possible.

[Schism]

Initiate Ref Schism


Difficult terrain hampers movement. Each square of difficult terrain counts as 2 squares of movement. (Each diagonal move into a difficult terrain square counts as 3 squares.) You can’t run or charge across difficult terrain.

Moving up the stairs takes twice the movement cost. As such, it is my opinion that you cannot run up the stairs. You may run down them, provided you make the required balance check.

Edit:

@refs
In round one, Kirabee moves his psicrystal and takes a standard action. Activating a psicrystal's self-propulsion system is a standard action. As such, I believe his turn as stated is illegal.

Also, I believe the rules posted above make Finn's turn illegal as well. I recommend rewinding to the start of Kirabee's turn, unless he is allowed to start with his psicrystal's self-propulsion system activated.

A run to S-13 is not possible. This:

______________>>
/
/
>>_____/
as seen from the vertical side, is not a straight line.

Running the reverse however is possible, but only because the local map rules explicitly allow such a movement on a balance check provided all other conditions for running are still met.(Local map special conditions usual trump generic general rules.)

Match rewinds to start of Finn's turn.

@Refs
A psi-crystal's self-propulsion system has a 24 hour duration creating the possibility that it could have started while this was active.

Given that this maneuver has been done several times in the past and now has precedent on it's side I'm not ready to call the hammer down on this one. Perhaps if our GM Ref expressed an opinion or Gauntlet challenges this usage of physicals... but for now I'm not going to over-rule anyone on that.

[Gauntlet]

double move to J14.

LoS check again, but I'm ending my turn either way.

[Samb]

Do you really need a LoS? You know exactly where me and my psicrystal are. If you are within 40 feet of my psicrystal you might as well say so since I did not revise my last turn.

[Gauntlet]

Wasn't sure whether you had revised somewhere. I'm in J14.

[Samb]

Ahh I messed up my post. I have offensive precog up but no vigor and am dazed your go.

Sorry I accidentally messed up the [roll0] I wanted to see if I was dazed before I moved.

[Gauntlet]

sorry, this internet is messing up and keeps showing me pages without updating them :smallsigh:

anyway, Finn moves to P13 and casts a spell.

casting True Strike.

your turn.

[Samb]

I think I'm screwed.

dazed!!!!! Til end of turn

end turn

[Gauntlet]

Finn moves to S12. Can I see Kirabee now?

[Samb]

Im in v14 and dazed....... The one time I really need wild surge to work I get enervated.

[Gauntlet]

Finn moves round to T14, quickly casts Blade of Blood and takes a swing.

[roll0]

[Gauntlet]

I guess that's a hit. Activating Blade of Blood.

2d4+3d6+4

[Gauntlet]

Curses!
[roll0]

BoB
[roll1]

[Samb]

And I'm dead. Good match. Why didn't i move before manifesting? Dumb move.

[Gauntlet]

I've tried to roll that damage 3 times now! :smallfurious:

Anyway, good match. you still get your 300GP though, so have fun with your pretty mace of spikiness :smallconfused:
