[hustlertwo]

I'm going to put in the other sheet links after I log in to Arena Manager and pull them from the Waiting Room.

[Lubirio]

I'm thinking my roll for initiative would be in order?
[roll0]

[hustlertwo]

I imagine so.

[roll0]

[02youeng]

Farkis

[roll0]

Right...my gear's changed a bit since I started, and I don't want to edit my sheet for fear of losing it all, so here's a list of my starting gear:

Greataxe: -20g
Chain shirt: -100g
Guisarme: -9g
10x javelins: -10g
2x acid: -20g

Croysp has upgraded his gear a bit too with time, so here's his official starting equipment:

[hustlertwo]

OK, so how do we resolve a tie when we have the same mod?

[02youeng]

Re-roll? [message too short]

[hustlertwo]

I don't know if this is the usual way, but it seems as good as any:

1 is me, 2 is him

[roll0]

The order so far:

Hoppy
Croysp
Solus
Farkis
Knoll

[02youeng]

Yeah, I checked, the SRD says reroll. But your method works just the same.

Question: what're the rules for attacking an object? What's the AC of one of the panes, or do we roll at all? One thing I never understood...

[hustlertwo]

I think one of the other glass arenas mentions this. Whatever it says we can probably just use here.

[Psionic Dog]

Yeah, I checked, the SRD says reroll. But your method works just the same.

Question: what're the rules for attacking an object? What's the AC of one of the panes, or do we roll at all? One thing I never understood...

AC 3 (-5 dex -2inanimate)
For a full round action to line up a shot melee weapons automatically hit and ranged weapons gain a +5 bonus.

Edit: Oh, Ash is listed twice in the sheet roster while Abogralia was omitted.

[RPGAgmJAY]

For Ash, Farkis & Abrogralia:
Tactics Suggestions...

Psyche! Like I would throw that in a spoiler. =) Check your PM.


Good Gaming!
-Jason

[hustlertwo]

Fixed it. Also, I went ahead and bought 6 masterwork arrows. added them to my sheet, I think they'll be good to have for actual matches too.

[Scorer]

Abogralia reporting in...

Of all my equipment, originally I only have 2 Potions of Cure Light Wounds...

Initiative
[roll0]


Edit: We are 8 dif initiatives, so I beleive it would be wise if you keep a List of initiatives in the first post, so we can consult it, and you can change it whenever ready actions or init delays happen...

EDIT2:
@My Allies

I agree with RPG, we should stick in group tactic, man by man, they outgun us...

[Strangie]

Oops, sorry, hope I'm not late. Just ended my work shift. I have the next couple of days off to make posts though. :smallbiggrin:

Let's rock!

Init: [roll0]

Oh, oops. Starting in K25 with loaded sling in hand.

[Schism]

Really wish Chuck had gotten checked out in time, but ah well.

Initiative: [roll0]

[hustlertwo]

Init list, with numbers:

Hoppy (23)
Croysp (Let's say 20.1)
Solus (20)
Ash (18)
Macintosh (16)
Farkis (10)
Abogralia (8)
Knoll (5)

Unless anyone has any other last-minute suggestions or purchases, I'd say it's RPG's turn. Oh, and Schism, you know it's your turn in our round 65 match, right?

[Psionic Dog]

Croysp will add a scroll of cure light wounds to his purchases.

[RPGAgmJAY]

Hoppy - Round 1

Croysp - Round 1

The half orc starts wearing his studded leather armor stands in O-25. In one hand he holds a great-ax. In the other he balances he loaded sling and a scroll.

He drops the scroll.

"A gift, Knoll" he says loudly before moving to U-19 and activating a Psionic Tatoo.

Activating Skate

Done.

Stats:
Location: U-19
HP: 15/15
AC: 14 (+3 armor +2 dex -1 vulnerable)
Psionic Focus: Yes
Amunition: 10

Aura of Offense.

Skate: 1/10

[hustlertwo]

I'm just double-checking...Intelligence doesn't affect the number of spells I can cast per day, just how many I know, right?

Anyhow, Solus starts in T-25 with his bow in his off hand, moves to Y-23, and readies an action:

Cast Kelgore's Fire Bolt on any enemy who approaches within the spell's range and is within my line of effect.

Stats:

HP 9/9
AC: 19 (Touch-15, FF-15)
Spells used:
Level 0 3/3
Level 1 2/2

Known spells:
All level 0
Kelgore's Fire Bolt
Color Spray

[Lubirio]

the intelligence gives bonus spells per day for wizards, as by the SRD. :smallwink:

[hustlertwo]

Yeah, but I'm a Duskblade. I've looked, but I think the only thing I get bonus-wise for high Int is more 0-level spells known (whee!). I like the class, but I guess that's the Achilles heel.

[Lubirio]

Right, my bad, continue on...

[Schism]

Remember, guys, for the duration of this match, Ash's Shape Soulmeld feat is for Rageclaws, not Mantle of Flame.

Ash, round 1

Ash starts in G-2, holding only his shield and wearing his armor. A pair of incorporeal, beastlike claws seem to flicker about his hands.

Double-move to L-12. Done.

Stats:HP 11/11
AC: 21 full, 16 touch, 16 ff
Currently in: M-12

[Scorer]

I double checked your movement, Ash, I beleive you used 85 feet...

[Schism]

80 feet, by my reckoning.

G-2 to G-9 (35 move), diagonal 1 to F-10 (5 move), diagonal 2 to G-11 (10 move), diagonal 3 to H-12 (5 move), H-12 to M-12 (25 move).

[Scorer]

you can't make diagonal in F10 to G11... there's a wall. you have to walk the corner

[Lubirio]

Seems about right to me...

EDIT: In that case, the diagonal 3, would be 2, making that 10ft, adding up to a total of 85ft

[Scorer]

It is on player's handbook page 147

[Schism]

How in the world is that wall possibly in the way? :smallconfused:

*mumble mumble* D&D does not work on real world mechanics. D&D does not work on real world mechanics. D&D does not work on real world mechanics.

Ending in L-12, then. Editing post to reflect this.

[hustlertwo]

OK, that brings us to Strangie.

[Strangie]

Barf. Sorry about that.

Macintosh, Round 1

Starting in K25 with loaded sling in hand.

Double move to J13 J15
Set Dodge to: Ash

Done.

Your speed is not enough for that

Farkis, round 1

Free: roar with bestial vigour "YES! Action at last!"

Abogralia 1st Turn

End of Turn

STATS

Abogralia at K2

HP 8/8
AC 19 (10 +3 armor, +5 Dex, +1 Size)

Potions (cure) used: 0 of 2

[hustlertwo]

Huh....well, I don't know what to do on that one. I think it was a typo. J-13 isn't even close to possible, given the stairs and all.

[Strangie]

Huh? His speed is 40. Lemme see...

K25 - J24 - I23 - H22 - H21 - H20 - H19 - H18 = 40 feet, move action 1.
H18 - G17 - F17 - F16 - H16 - I16 - ... J15.

Oops. :smallbiggrin: I meant J15. I will revise my turn above to reflect that.

The numbers were all blurry on my screen because I have a high resolution and I'm an idiot. :smallannoyed:

EDIT: I would advise if anybody wants to revise their turn after mine to do so now, based on my terrible eyesight. :smallredface:

[hustlertwo]

Yeah, I figured it was something like that. Bringing us to...Lubirio, I believe.

[Scorer]

Almost 1 round per day... Not bad to be 8 players

Play on. Don't mind me. :smallwink:

Croysp whispers to Solus:
Only plan my brain thinks of is to run up and give little fire breather the chop chop before he starts spitting. Maybe also ask druid for plant-O'magy help to stop mutant shifter, or maybe stop to feed shifter sling lead if glass breaks before I get to top.

You have better plan, yes?

[hustlertwo]

Solus whispers back

Unfortunately, despite being the champion for this type of match, I now find that in reality....it's bloody insane. I have no idea who I have LoE with, whether they've triggered my ready action, or how far they are from being able to come at me, your, or anyone else. There's a term that comes to mind, but I doubt the censors would allow it. Maybe we should keep a list of who is where in a spoiler, so that the other side does not benefit from it. In any case, if you say go for Ash, no problem. I can Rapid Shot from a distance, or if you think I can get within 15 feet of him without getting entangled, I'll hit him with a Color Spray.

[Schism]

Ash takes a quick break from catching his breath to shout: "Hey, you two chatterboxes! Why don't you both take a quick trip east and save us all the trouble?"

[02youeng]

Farkis growls back "Come and play, little boys, I've a present for you..."

Edit: Sorry about the editing, had to tag the ready action...

[hustlertwo]

Lubirio, it's your go.

[Lubirio]

Thanks, I was plotting everyone on he map for while. :smalleek:

Knoll - Round 2

Run straight to O25 and pick up the scroll Croysp dropped.
What scroll is it?

Flake - round 2

Move to E11 (25ft) and attack Abrogalia making a trip attempt, probably triggering his readied action somewhere...
[roll0]
[roll1]
If crit:
[roll2]
[roll3]
[roll4]

[Scorer]

Indeed... triggered my ready action...

Did Flake alk through C13?

If yes:

Attack defensively the pane between C13 and C14
[roll0]
Damage
[roll1]

If no:

Attack Flake defensively before he aproaches me to AoO range
[roll2]
Damage
[roll3]

And his attack didn't hit...

[Scorer]

I meant "walk" and not "alk" above

If Flake walked through C13 then rolling pane damage
Reflex Save DC 15 for half damage

Glass Damage
[roll0]

[Lubirio]

Since when does an attack of 19 not hit on AC19? :smallconfused:
Flake moved like this: B14->C13->D12->E11, although my distance calculation is wrong, that's only 20ft. :smallbiggrin:

[Scorer]

Because I attacked defensively, granting me +2 dodge bonus to Ac at the expense of -4 in attack

And then, you have to roll reflex save, DC 15 or take 7 damage, if save fails. If not, 3 Damage only

And you were not wrong, it's 25 feet

[hustlertwo]

You have Touch AC higher than 19? Because the attack was a trip attack, I think.

And on the subject of what Lube said about plotting people on the map, I'd suggest we keep some kind of list regarding where everyone is. As I mentioned to Psionic, I have found that the reality of this match type is that it's a whole lot to keep track of, as far as who is or isn't in LoE for you or one of your comrades.

Also, I guess either way Abogralia's readied action went off, but I don't guess that effects the initiative order any.

[Lubirio]

[roll0] 50% chance...

Right, makes sense, and since the attack didn't hit, he can't trip you either...

EDIT: failed the reflex, will change Flake's HP as necessary.
EDIT2: Abrogalia's touch AC is 16, plus 2 for defensively makes it 18, making the attack hit, could you then please roll to see if you are tripped?
EDIT3:
And you were not wrong, it's 25 feet
it's 3 diagonal moves, 1 is 5ft, the second is 10ft, and the third is another 5ft, adding together to 20ft...
But now that I look at it, B14->B13->C12->D11->E11 is 25ft, so with writing the actual distance there I could've meant to avoid C13? (I dunno, it was late)

I do think the glass walls and transparency of it all makes it a lot easier...

[Scorer]

Your animal attack has to hit in order to trip may be possible, and that first attack is not touch, so it is not a hit.

And a good way to keep track is to use a graphic object program, such as Corel, you can move players and mark things... let me show you a Screenshot


http://www.abpm.com.mx/scorer/gitp4v4.jpg

[Lubirio]

Looks nice, my good old fashioned paint works, but not nearly well :smallwink:

Now that I look at the wolf monster entry, it says it doesn't need a touch attack, and not provoking an AoO, so it's not a hit, or a valid trip attempt.
Abrogalia/Psionic Dog:
What was the scroll I picked up?

Please, do carry on...

Oh, no question. On the off chance this became an official Arena match type, I think it would pretty much be required to use glass maps. Otherwise it would take so long characters might be falling onto their swords just to get freed up to enter a new round.

Hoppy is up.

[Strangie]

Either that or we spontaneously force combatants to shout "Marco" and "Polo" every round that they don't have LoS. :smallannoyed:

[Lubirio]

That should be funny :smallbiggrin:

[Schism]

You'd end up with characters taking Vow of Silence. :smalltongue:

[Strangie]

You'd end up with characters taking Vow of Silence. :smalltongue:

No way. BoED is banned, remember? :smallamused:

Maybe gladiators can tell really bad jokes and wait for their opponents to groan, then find them that way.

Gladiator: Knock Knock.
Fighter: Who's there?
Gladiator: Sneak.
Fighter: Sneak who?
Gladiator: *makes LoS and threatens opponent* SNEAK ATTACK *stab*

[RPGAgmJAY]

Hoppy - Round 3

Ready Action:

Ranged attack if opponent that moves within LoE or squares T14-X14.
OR
5' step to T12 and ranged attack when anyone enters squares O13,P13,Q13,O14,P14,Q14,R14,S14.

Reserve the right to ranged attack "a glass wall adjacent to" rather than the opponent that provokes my readied action.


Done.

[Psionic Dog]

This would probably be a good time to remind everyone that ranged weapons only do half damage to objects.


Ranged Weapon Damage

Objects take half damage from ranged weapons (unless the weapon is a siege engine or something similar). Divide the damage dealt by 2 before applying the object’s hardness.

So 4 / 2 = 2 damage. That glass pane cracks, but doesn't shatter.

@Lubirio
I'm not sure what the rules are for identifing an unknown scroll, but the point is porbably moot since Croysp only bought a single scroll. :smallwink:
See Post #21 (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6893119&postcount=21)

So that means Lucas doesn't take any damage? (Aha!) :smallbiggrin:

So far no damage dealt (except to a wall)...

EDIT: nvm, Ash has been dealt 10 damage.

[02youeng]

PsiDog, you trigger my readied action when you move to V14

Attacking the glass pane at U13/14 with my guisarme. I love 20ft reach

[roll0]
[roll1]

If I hit the glass, then you take [roll2] damage, halved by a Reflex save

[Schism]

EDIT: nvm, Ash has been dealt 10 damage.


Excuse me? :smallconfused: Ash has 21 AC, not 19.

[02youeng]

Wewt, first blood to me

[Lubirio]

My bad didn't notice that :smalleek:

First blood has now been drawn though...

[Scorer]

And if I'm not mistaken... Psidog couldn't reach O14, that would've been 60feet and he has 50 only...

And that rule about the ranged weapon damage halved to objects :smallconfused: I've had a week of strange rule discoveries in unpleasent moments hahahahahaha:smalltongue:

[Schism]

He has 50 and Skate, if I'm not mistaken. Not something I considered when I decided where to stop, admittedly. :smallredface:

[Psionic Dog]

Hmm. I was half afraid and half hoping for that. Now, this will either work very well or very poorly...
[roll0]

Turn Revision:
Croysp turns and rushes through the broken glass to W-11 where he spins and makes a vicious slash at Farkis.

As he moves he shouts:
"ARCHERS! TO ME! TAKE HIM DOWN! TAKE HIM DOWN!"

[roll1]
[roll2]

Done.

[Psionic Dog]

Ooo crictial hit. With a great ax.

Now if he only survives to deliver it...

And yes, Croysp is currently gliding lightly over the ground.

Again, it's not going well... this time for them, that is =P

[Psionic Dog]

A grievous wound most certainly, but Croysp, that dump ignorant half orc, doesn't seem to notice.

[Immediate Action: Expends Psionic Focus to delay suffering damaging effect for one round per Time Mantal ability]

[02youeng]

Then I'm shorn from head to groin, shortly before your intestines fall out. Should have tripped you, heh.

[hustlertwo]

Well, that thins out the amount of people to worry about, then. Farkis and Croysp are no more. Or does Croysp wait until the beginning of his next turn to die?

[02youeng]

Beginning of his next turn, I believe

[Scorer]

It's Solus turn anyway...

[hustlertwo]

So he's still around, which I guess only matters if he gets an AoO somehow. We enjoy a (very) temporary advantage in numbers.

Solus, Round 3

Unless I miss my guess, the destruction of the wall panel triggered my own readied action; Hoppy is now within Line of Effect (albeit with cover) and so I cast Kelgore's Fire Bolt at him. I'll take my turn after we see how it comes out.

[roll0]

[hustlertwo]

How exciting. I don't guess the damage can be reduced to 0, so probably no point in your even attempting a saving throw.

You will probably want one here, however.

Move to U-13.

Cast Color Spray on Hoppy.

Slightly less than 50% chance you'll be knocked out for [roll0] rounds, blinded and stunned for [roll1] rounds, and then stunned for 1 round more as insult to potential injury.

[Schism]

Waiting to see if any more readied actions trigger before I take my turn.

[RPGAgmJAY]

Umm... readied action goes off as well... before Farkis get's chopped.

Everyone please rewind to this point...

Hoppy fires his shotbow with a masterwork arrow at Cyosp as he moves through the broken glass wall...

And expends his psionic focus to enhance this attack with Psionic Shot.

Attack roll: [roll0]
Damage Roll: [roll1]

That reduces my initiative to "Just before Cryosp" which is practically where I am normally...

Good Gaming!
-Jason

[RPGAgmJAY]

I'm assuming a bow crit doesn't multiply the psionic damage, so I'll just add the crit damage...

Crit confirm: [roll0]
Additional damage (crit=x3): [roll1]

Good Gaming!
-Jason

[Psionic Dog]

Yep. There be the other shoe.

Croysp's gamble wasn't about getting smacked by Farkis. It was getting smacked by Farkis AND taking a psionic shot from Hoppy. Which is what seems to have just happened... :smallannoyed:

Sorry 'bout that team.
Croysp is now very dead at -10 hp. Next round he would take another 10 damage, but you can't get any deader than dead.

[hustlertwo]

So....Farkis didn't die?

[02youeng]

Woohoo! [tenses for the next guy wanting to kill him]

Speech for Hoppy:
Thanks for saving my ass there. If the glass, your bow, or my guisarme did just 1 damage less, I'd still be dead. Guess I'm eating Colour Spray next turn instead of you, tell my family I love them.

[hustlertwo]

Obviously that changes my turn a bit, now that I would have to survive two enemies in the area instead of one. Although it does not change my readied action, which now moves me to right before Hoppy in the turn order.

Instead I'll shift my bow back to both hands, target Hoppy with a masterwork arrow (leaving me 5 of them, since we're going by starting equipment).

Roll: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

And then I hustle on back to X-23, shifting my bow back to my off hand. Ranged fighters have no business being this close to the baddies.

Just made the hit, even with cover, nice.

[Schism]

Can I get a reposting of turn order before I move again?

[hustlertwo]

I'm pretty much totally confused on that front.

[02youeng]

...well, I spent 10 minutes trying to work it out. But three people [Farkis, Solus and Hoppy] took ready actions on Croysp's turn.

Who goes where, I'm not too sure.

[hustlertwo]

Since I realized taking mine would force me to wait until right before Hoppy's turn to go, I'm going to decline it. So he doesn't take the damage from the Kelgore's, but everything else goes as it was.

And I think this means you now go right after Hoppy, whose initiative would remain unchanged since he was already right before Croysp. And I stay where I was.

New init (I think):

Hoppy
Farkis
Croysp (deceased)
Moi
Ash
Mac
Abogralia
Knoll

[Schism]

Okay, one more question. Can I reach G-16 with a 30-foot line from L-14? D&D height rules confuse me. :smallsigh:

[hustlertwo]

I'm inclined to say no, since with height taken into account that's more than 30 feet.

[02youeng]

So...Ash is up?

As I see it, yeah.

You can't run like that, you don't have the speed, or the way to move, two walls block your straight line...

However, rolling reflex save DC 14:

Reflex save
[roll0]

[Lubirio]

nice save, and running is x4 movement speed, what I moved was 80ft, that's barely over x2 movement speed, I see no problem, the walls would provide cover is standing behind it, it wouldn't block you from walking...

[Scorer]

The problem is that running is a full round action and with nothing to block you...

[Lubirio]

oh, I guess I'll just move to K21 then will change actions to reflect that...

[RPGAgmJAY]

Knoll-

How did you have LoE to cast Entangle at intersection K12/L13? I see walls and a 20' elevation that looks like they're blocking something fierce.

Once your turn is revised or I'm otherwise corrected regarding my misunderstanding, I'll go. =)

[hustlertwo]

Hmmm...tempting to blast Hoppy with a KFB and try to make this a 3 no 3 match. But it would be a pretty hollow victory, I'd almost certainly be dead next turn. Likely still will be, but what the hell, let's go out swinging. Or at least as close to that as a mage/ranged fighter can come.

And if you want to jazz it up a bit with the flavor text, I'll see if I can rise to the challenge.

Mr. Solus dances away from the clumsy blow and the flecks of orc intestine that came with it, with a laugh whose pitch is just a bit too high. Though his comrade Croysp was a tad too smelly for his tastes, the sight of the halfbreed's evisceration was somewhat unnerving, as were the blood-streaked glass walls that now serve as his tombstone. In a move fueled equally by self-preservation and a desire for vengeance (well, more like 60% the former and 40% the latter, but who's counting?), the malevolent midget unleashes a torrent of visual activity at his crazed foe. The barbarian's feeble mind is assaulted by colors and sensations for which there are no name, and he must try to anchor his woefully inept consciousness against the unbearable strain, or else succumb entirely to the ocular onslaught.

In other words, Color Spray away! I think I can do it from where I am. If not, I'll take a 5-foot step. Regardless, the rest of my turn waits until the saving throw results, so I know whether my remaining move action should be to do like Schism's character; namely, to put my head between my knees and kiss my Ash goodbye.

[02youeng]

Before you get to cast it on me...AoO. And, yah, you can hit me from where you are.

[roll0]
[roll1]

[Strangie]

Whatever happened to casting defensively? :smallannoyed: This almost makes me wish I was using Hodge and his Rays of Enfeeblement.

Oh well. We're screwed. :smalltongue:

[Scorer]

I'm so glad that Farkis is on our side =P

[02youeng]

I feel so loved

[Lubirio]

:smallannoyed: At least we get to know if 4v4 is viable...

[hustlertwo]

Ah, right. Never fought with a magic user at melee distance before, didn't think about the AoO.

[RPGAgmJAY]

This battle is far from over and we still have some serious threats on both sides to deal with. I feel massively vindicated for using up my psionic shot to keep Cryosp away from Farkis earlier... good show all around.

Ash is up...

Good Gaming!
-Jason

[Schism]

I want to know if the entangle spell being cast was possible before I take my turn.


Knoll-

How did you have LoE to cast Entangle at intersection K12/L13? I see walls and a 20' elevation that looks like they're blocking something fierce.

Edit: And if I could get a map repost from Scorer, that'd be great. :smallsmile:

[Lubirio]

Nothing in the spell description says you have to have LoE, which it does for some spells, can't find an example right now though. So please roll your reflex save. :smallbiggrin:

[Sallera]

You must have a clear line of effect to any target that you cast a spell on or to any space in which you wish to create an effect. You must have a clear line of effect to the point of origin of any spell you cast.

Not quite.

[Schism]

Once again, Sallera proves able to quote the SRD faster than I.

I bow to your skills, ninja master. :smallwink:

[Lubirio]

could you tell me where it says that though :smallconfused:

Now that I'm wiser, I'd like to redo my turn (RUN to E15 :smallbiggrin:), hopefully not changing anyone's turn so it doesn't slow down too much...

And a note to all, I think we cleared up that Abrogalia didn't break the glass, meaning no damage to Knoll...

[02youeng]

You can't use the run action to get to there. To run, you need to move in a straight line, with no obsructions, and there's a wall in the way of the line you're running in.

[Sallera]

LoE: Linky (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicOverview/spellDescriptions.htm#lineofEffect).

[Lubirio]

the wall isn't actually in the way though, it would provide cover but doesn't block movement. (right?) :smallsmile:

(thanks Sallera :smallwink:)

[02youeng]

Hehe, you gotta walk around it. But, you have enough movement to get there with a double move [from J20, right?], turning any corners you want.

[Lubirio]

that works, I'll do that then, :smallwink: changing turn to reflect this.

[hustlertwo]

Well clearly I need to redo my turn then, I was taking my actions based on Lubirio's spell being successful.


No? Worth a shot.

[Schism]

Farkis SMASH!

I'd try it too, if I was facing him. :smallwink:

[Lubirio]

I was kind of hoping it wouldn't change anybody's turn, but that's just illogical, the actions you took had nothing to do with the spell whatsoever. And if they, in fact were, you'd have asked for Ash to roll his reflex before taking the actions that were supposedly based off of my spell being successful, which wouldn't make any sense as you're not on my team, so you'd hope it wasn't successful.[/cocky]

((Not on my watch you don't. :smallwink:))

[02youeng]

"Psst...it was a joke"

[RPGAgmJAY]

Well clearly I need to redo my turn then, I was taking my actions based on Lubirio's spell being successful.


No? Worth a shot.

LOL, I feel like someone cloned me and created hustler... dude, freaking hilarious. Also, as a side note... your builds are absolutely scary, I look forward to many a clash in the future.

Now Ash needs to take his turn already...

Good Gaming!

[Lubirio]

"Pssst, notice the [/cocky] tag at the end of my 'speech'"

My first (and probably not last) fight with hustler was pretty short, mostly by my own doing though...

[02youeng]

Ah, but there was no [cocky] tag at the beginning, so your speech wasn't correctly defined, and thus I had to assume you were being serious.

Hehe, I'll shush now.

[Schism]

Yes, yes... patience, Grasshoppa.

Now Ash needs to take his turn already...

Good Gaming!
-Jason

Thanks. I've built up a pretty decent record so far, and I like to think some of it is due to the power of my builds (Fiorella probably being my favorite, nothing like quick magic wins that don't rely much on the dice and are done without the cheese of Fell Drain). Although in round 65 I had some well-placed rolls of 19 that also propelled me along, one of which took down you in the first match, and the other Titus.

Of course, I'd say I'm more the anti-you, RPG, because you seem to know all the various facets of this game. I just looked over the SRD for a couple hours and cranked out a couple characters based on what looked good, and have been learning by trial and error ever since. Ironically, the two later characters that are less SRD-based are also, in my opinion, weaker. Which poses an interesting question: where would y'all rate your characters as far as overall effectiveness, or just which one you think is the best? For me it goes Fiorella-Train-Solus-Battle Janitor.

[RPGAgmJAY]

Well currently I've only got three characters.

Forge is an all-around I'm still tinkering with. He relies on the luck of dice at times but has the ability of combining virtually any spells which makes him very adaptable. I think he's my favorite. I plan on taking him all the way up.

Hoppy is in this game and he still hasn't shown his ace yet. I imagine the level 2 version of him will be quite lethal. Don't know how much I enjoy playing him yet though...

Cog is a midgit warforged with AC of 25 with no buffs. He can also pack the damage and land shots in melee with a +11 to hit. Might be my most successful.

Good Gaming!

You can't get to C12, not even using double move...

besides, if you use double move, you can't cast a spell


Nevermind, forgot your update to E15

[Scorer]

Reflex save [roll0]

And I'm afraid the SRD says "ALL creatures in area" so, Flake gets afected as well...

[Lubirio]

can I then change the area? didn't know...

EDIT: DC for reflex save is 14, so that's a fail for abrogalia...

[02youeng]

The rule in the arena is "If it's a legal move, then it sticks"

[Scorer]

Also, checking the spell description, it says 40ft radius... which would make a 80ft diameter... far bigger than what you posted... and making calculations of the center you proposed the resulting area of effect would be like this:


http://www.abpm.com.mx/scorer/gitp4v4b.jpg

[Lubirio]

With this new knowledge can I change the area of effect? (center P15, range's I12-W18)

Even with the rule that anything legal sticks, I really did not know, plus nobody's gone yet...

[Scorer]

No you can't, cause you have no LoE to P15...

[Lubirio]

Q12 then, I'm really just asking if I can change it, because I did not know the radius is the distance from the center, making the diameter (which I previously thought to be the radius) twice the radius... (English is my third language :smallwink:)

Besides, if I can't change it, the center would be M13, not L13...

[Scorer]

Third language? where are you from? what else you speak? I'm from MExico, I speak Spanish, english and a little bit of french and japanese... looking forward to learn Nahuatl

[Lubirio]

In order of having learned them:
Dutch (fluent)
Esperanto (fluent)
English (almost fluent)
French (little bit)
German (no speaking, just understanding)

[Scorer]

That's neat!

About the spell, well.... let's wait to see what the others say about it...

It affects me anyway and I already failed my save :smallredface:

[Lubirio]

right:
so the waiting begins...
dus het wachten begint...
tial la atend komencas...

[hustlertwo]

Esperanto? You don't hear much about that anymore, least in America. All I've got is English, Redneck, basic German, and retarded-level Italian.

[Schism]

I have internet-translator level everything. :smallwink:

[Lubirio]

on to the topic of the day: Can I or can I not change the area of effect for my Entangle spell, now that I've explained why I didn't know?

[hustlertwo]

Officially, no. It's come up a lot lately, and the rulings have stated that what you typed is what you did, intentions are irrelevant. In other words, always preview your posts to make sure you say what you mean and vice versa. However, this is an exhibition match. So my suggestion is that you guys work it out amongst yourselves one way or the other, and remember that nothing's on the line.

[Scorer]

My recomendation would be to keep his turn, considering the center of his spell, thus having Flake and Mac to make their saves...

[Lubirio]

I guess we'll just roll with it: literally :smallwink:
[roll0]
[roll1]

Flake's attack wouldn't be affected sine the spell takes effect just after that...

((a more even distribution of those rolls would've been lovely :smallannoyed:))

Deflect arrows is perfectly acceptable, your Dex is just lowered by 4 points (as Scorer also said), but I see no point not to all be in the big mumble jumble of plants. :smallbiggrin:

Oh, and Schism: Ash is up in our game (Ash vs. Knoll), I could have you DQ'd, but I assume you forgot, so, here's the reminder...

Which brings us back to Knoll and Flake. Note that the spoiler on my last action is now open to all of you. It is the reflex save against Knoll's entangle spell for this turn. Spell says every round on the caster's turn it attempts to entangle again and a new save is required.

If you don't want to look back, just know that I passed. =)

Hoppy - Round 6

Move: To B13 (D15,C15,B14,B13.)

Standard Action: Use Neraph Camoflage to cause Knoll to be flat-footed as I throw a shuriken at him. (This provokes an AoO from Knoll if he is currently weilding a weapon as I am in a square he threatens. My AC is 19. My assumption here is that he is not weilding due to the recent throwing of darts.)

I take the 7 damage putting me at 2, no AoO indeed

But... you can't run through the entanglement, the maximum speed is half speed (this is valid for your previous round). I'll ignore it this time because I don't want to rewind a whole turn, but running through it would beat the purpose of it...

But... you can't run through the entanglement, the maximum speed is half speed (this is valid for your previous round). I'll ignore it this time because I don't want to rewind a whole turn, but running through it would beat the purpose of it...

A run for me is 120', at half speed that's 60'. Entangle slowed me down immensely. RAW of entangle says that you can move through the area at half speed but does not list the area as causing difficult terrain (which also reduces speed to half normal and also precludes use of run or charge).

I read this as entangle has many similarities with difficult terrain but is still different than difficult terrain. If I'm wrong, I'll redo... it won't effect anyone else's turn aside from me and Knoll at the moment. Now that I look at it I think I'll have to re-do regardless as I miscalculated Round 5's movement. I should have ended in G15 instead of D15.

Abogralia's Save DC 14

[roll0]

[Lubirio]

you're just avoiding those plants aren't you? oh and a successful save allows only one standard or move action, not both (note for next turn). :smallwink:

[Scorer]

Entangle

Transmutation
Level: Drd 1, Plant 1, Rgr 1
Components: V, S, DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level)
Area: Plants in a 40-ft.-radius spread
Duration: 1 min./level (D)
Saving Throw: Reflex partial; see text
Spell Resistance: No

Grasses, weeds, bushes, and even trees wrap, twist, and entwine about creatures in the area or those that enter the area, holding them fast and causing them to become entangled. The creature can break free and move half its normal speed by using a full-round action to make a DC 20 Strength check or a DC 20 Escape Artist check. A creature that succeeds on a Reflex save is not entangled but can still move at only half speed through the area. Each round on your turn, the plants once again attempt to entangle all creatures that have avoided or escaped entanglement.

Note: The effects of the spell may be altered somewhat, based on the nature of the entangling plants.



Nope, I can do both, check spoiler it only says half speed

My bad, I keep mixing different spell effects, it doesn't change anything that happened anyway. :smallbiggrin:

It is very curious, when we were 8 the game was running faster than now, that we're 6 :smallconfused:

[Lubirio]

Let's speed it up then! Ash is up to go...

[RPGAgmJAY]

The week-end was tough for me, I might have delayed the game some. I check twice a day, and more often if it's getting close to my turn. Typically Ash is a bit of a hang-up but never too bad.

My real question is whether Hustler is still watching this fight. I know his character died, but this whole thing was his idea to test out the play-ability of a 4 vs 4 round. I'd imagine that if this is seriously being considered than there is some silent lurkers paying close attention to this match.

Good Gaming!
-Jason

[hustlertwo]

I'm poking my head in. However, I don't have the power to make it a match type (I think), so my opinion only matters so much. Also, I'm still not sure I can sign off on it. I like it, despite the chaos. But a round type that requires a glass arena and periodic copies of the map showing where everyone is? Very high maintenance. Especially when readied actions are involved.

Now, if y'all want, after this is done we can continue on with it as I had planned out for a 4v4 tournament; namely, the winning team splits into two random teams of two and fights, and the winning duo there has a 1v1. In an official round with DQs, the winning team could split into a FFA to end it if one of the members was DQ'd in the first match, to keep things fair.

[RPGAgmJAY]

Ash is DQ'd if he doesn't post within the next 6 hours.

Good Gaming!
-Jason

[Lubirio]

Since when can you get DQ'd in an exhibition match?

[RPGAgmJAY]

Figured the same rules apply. Wouldn't want to be playing an exibition match for 3 months, would you?

If there is no DQs, then would someone else try to get ahold of him so we can keep this game a rollin...

-Jason

[hustlertwo]

Normally I'd say no DQs in an exhibition match is the polite thing to do, but given how long this thing will likely go anyhow, it may be necessary to do it. I'll leave that up to the people still playing, since they're the ones affected by how long someone takes in getting to their turn.

[Scorer]

I say we PM him, and wait one more day. If he doesn't show up by then, then he can be goner...

Just my opinion

[RPGAgmJAY]

PM'd him yesterday. =)

[RPGAgmJAY]

Unless Ash posts before you do... he drops dead.

Mac, you're up.

[Strangie]

Mac's plan to wait for his opponent to die by high cholestoral has succeeded.
