The "start full-round action" standard action lets you start undertaking a full-round action, which you can complete in the following round by using another standard action. You can’t use this action to start or complete a full attack, charge, run, or withdraw.

It takes two standard actions to cast a full-round spell over two rounds, not a standard and a move. In this case, it doesn't matter, as you used a move action on your last round. But, just so you knows.

I just wanted to make sure that what happened in this match (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=121347), as far as giving orders to summoned creatures goes, didn't happen in this one too. Does Chuck need to explicitly say something out loud to have the creature do one thing over another?

[Master_Rahl22]

[roll0]

I can't see the map while at work, so I'll take my turn some time tonight.

So, since I made the save do I take 1 or 2 damage? I seem to remember that you always round down, but just want to be sure.

High Ref PsiDog

Yes.

Summoned creatures attack opponents to the best of their ability by default.

Having a summoned creature perform a specific task, attack in a specific way, or in any other way behave other than the default requires communicating orders to it.

[Master_Rahl22]

Waiting on a ref question in the waiting room. I'll post my turn tomorrow.

[Master_Rahl22]

Morekal, turn 3

Full round: Using Withdraw action. Move to M-2, N-1, L-1, K-1, J-2, I-2, I-3. While I'm moving, I'll put the potion back in my pack and put both hands on my greatsword.
Swift: Use Sudden Leap to move due west whatever Jump check allows.
[roll0]

That puts me in E-4. End of turn.

Stats:

Location: E-4
HP: 11/12
AC: 16, FF: 14, Touch: 12

Maneuvers Readied:
Steely Strike 0/1
Moment of Perfect Mind 0/1
Stone Bones 0/1
Sudden Leap 1/1

[theterran]

Since the summoned creature was actually a construct, how does one communicate w/ a construct?

[Master_Rahl22]

I'd say you need some sort of telepathy or something. Wolves don't speak a language, and the Ice Beast template makes its Int 1 anyway, so it's just about mindless.

[theterran]

FYI, away til Tuesday.

Chuck - Round 3

My summons moves to F4 and attacks.
Rolls:
[roll0] (+2 due to flanking)
[roll1]

Take your AoO if you'd like.

End my Turn.

[Master_Rahl22]

Ouch, crit and max damage on the first roll. Good thing the trip check was horrible.



[rol=Strength to trip wolf if I win above]1d20+3

[roll1]
[roll2]
[roll3]
[roll4]

I'll take my turn after I see what the rolls look like.

[Master_Rahl22]

[roll0]

Morekal, turn 4

Move: 5ft step to D-3 (oh, and the wolf wasn't flanking me with the previous attack, but hit and confirmed without flanking bonus so it didn't matter)

Swift: Enter Stance of Clarity

Standard: Steely Strike on Chuck
[roll1]
[roll2]
[roll3]
[roll4]

End of my turn.

Stats:

Location: D-3
HP: 3/14
AC: 16, FF: 14, Touch: 12

Stance of Clarity: +2 AC vs the wolf, -2 AC vs everything else

Maneuvers Readied:
Steely Strike 1/1
Moment of Perfect Mind 0/1
Stone Bones 0/1
Sudden Leap 1/1


Edit: I think that's game.

[theterran]

Yep...I die :smallannoyed:

[Master_Rahl22]

The crit hurt, I had just enough HP to survive it, but what really would've ended it is if the wolf had managed to trip me. Also, I'm incredibly glad I grabbed Sudden Leap. Great game.
