[Tanaric]

[roll0]

A potion of shield of faith +2.

[RandomAction]

Sparks, ini [roll0]

[Tanaric]

Exhibit A, round 1

Starting in B-13, holding potion in one hand, spiked chain in the other.

Standard: Manifest power

Psicraft DC 16:Force Screen

Move to I-10.

Done.

[RandomAction]

Ha! Thought I was facing the druid for a sec, had the feeling of getting spanked again.

Sparks, Exhibit R1:
Start in Y-14, with glaive in hand.
Move to T-14.
Ready an Action.
Cast Seeking Ray

End turn.

[Tanaric]

Exhibit A, round 2

Standard: Drink potion.

Free: Drop bottle.

Free: Shift grip on spiked chain to two hands.

Move to O-8.

Done.

[RandomAction]

Forgot to put in the trigger for my action, but anyways:

Caster level check DC 8: [roll0]
Ranged touch attack: [roll1]
Damage: [roll2]

[Tanaric]

...ow.

Exhibit is still standing, although he looks pretty pissed.

[RandomAction]

Now round 2:(I think, readied actions confuse the heck out of me)

Cast a spell @ Exhibit
Spellcraft DC:16Kelgore's Fire Bolt
Damage: [roll0]
Move to V-11.

Done.

[RandomAction]

Ooops, DC 14 reflex for half damage.

[Tanaric]

Reflex: [roll0]

mm, toasty.

Still standing, albeit with singed eyebrows.

[Tanaric]

Oh, I suppose now would be a good time to use my stance. :smallyuk:

Exhibit, round 3

Swift: Enter Stance of Clarity against Sparks.

Full-round: Charge to V-13.

Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

Done.

[RandomAction]

Sparks,R3:
5' step to V-10.
Cast a spell @ Exhibit
Spellcraft DC:16Kelgore Fire Bolt
Damage: [roll0]
Reflex DC 14 for half.

Done.

[Tanaric]

Exhibit A, round 4

Full-round: Initiate Charging Minotaur, charging to V-10. Neither the movement nor Bull Rush provoke AoOs.

Opposed Strength: [roll0]
Damage if fail: [roll1]
And you'll end up in V-9 if you fail the strength check.

Done.

Edit: The damage should be 2 points lower. I included the charge bonus to bull rush on the damage for some reason.

[RandomAction]

If I fail badly, then I may go even further.
Strength check: [roll0]

[RandomAction]

So I end up a broken heap in V-6.

[Tanaric]

I don't have to push you further, so I choose not to. :smallbiggrin:

Besides, I think that makes for one dead Warforged.

Edit:


If you beat the defender’s Strength check result, you push him back 5 feet. If you wish to move with the defender, you can push him back an additional 5 feet for each 5 points by which your check result is greater than the defender’s check result.

Key word being "can". I'd have wanted you in V-9 so you could provoke AoOs. :smallwink:

[RandomAction]

True. I just wished my Seeking Ray had more umph to it.

Rematch?

Also, in the up coming FFA, in which Fellnight and Bloodclaw are in. I am faced with a problem. If we are in the same match then I would either have to partner with you or try to get all the others against you. I would rather partner instead.

[Tanaric]

My Druid isn't that scary, is it? :smallconfused:

Anyhow, sure to the rematch. Do you want to fight Exhibit again, or one of my other gladiators? Kil'ak, perhaps? He could teach you how to really toast someone. :smallcool:

[RandomAction]

From our earlier matches, the only way to hurt you is direct damage. Your buffed AC is way too high to hit consistantly.

Bring out the druid against Golem.

[Tanaric]

Ah, well, Exhibit has more AC than Kairen, and a higher Touch AC too.

Also, Kairen's AC only lasts for 10 rounds before going back down to 13/17. :smallyuk:

[Tanaric]

This (http://www.thetangledweb.net/forums/profiler/view_char.php?cid=30705) Druid and this (http://www.coyotecode.net/profiler/view.php?id=6549) Golem?

[RandomAction]

True but 10 rounds is a long time.

Yep that's them.

[Tanaric]

Not in a FFA without clear LoS. :smalltongue:

Init: [roll0]

Purchases will be a psionic tattoo of force screen, a sling and twenty stones, and a spear.

[RandomAction]

With a 50' speed in 1-2 rounds you can make contact easily, add in your attack and damage bonuses, your enemies will fall in 1-2 more.

Golem, ini:
[roll0]

[RandomAction]

What really scares me is at level 2, if you take a level of barbarian, when you shift and rage(which stack by the way) your strength score is boosted by +8.

[Tanaric]

Not to mention Kairen has a swim speed. Yay water maps. :smallcool:

Kairen, round 1

Starting in B-13, holding a loaded sling.

Standard: Cast a spell

DC 16 spellcraft:Magic Fang, bite attacks.

Swift: Activate Animal Devotion (Ape's Fury).

Move to H-12.

Done.

[Tanaric]

I was a Druidic Avenger originally, which gave me shift+rage (Swapped for Whirling Frenzy - bonus attack and more AC, what's not to love?) at level 1, but apparently Shapeshift requires that you lose an animal companion, which Avengers don't get. :smallfrown:

Full attacks for +12 with +17 damage at level 1 might have been overkill, anyway.

[RandomAction]

Golem,R1:
Start in Y-13 with shield and maul readied.
Double move to O-17.

Done.

[RandomAction]

Kairen Bloodclaw, round 2

Standard: Tap Psionic Tattoo.

Swift: Activate Law Devotion (AC)

Move: Perform (Interpretive Dance): [roll0]

Done.

[RandomAction]

Golem,R2:
Move to N-19.
Perform (Sexy Dance): [roll0]

Done.

Sorry, I have been watching too much Robot Chicken.

[Tanaric]

Kairen Bloodclaw, round 3

Swift: Shift into Predator form.

Full-round: Charge to M-19.

Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

Done.

[RandomAction]

Ouch, almost 1 shotted me there.

Golem,R3:
Attack: [roll0]
Crit check: [roll1]
Damage: [roll2]
Crit damage: [roll3]

Done.

[Tanaric]

Didn't that hit you, and if so, wouldn't it have brought you to 0 (i.e., disabled?)

Taking a standard to hit me would knock yourself out, if my numbers are correct. :smalltongue:

[RandomAction]

It would if I didn't have DR 2/adamant. Also at 0 hp, a warforged can take either a standard or a move action without hurting itself.

[Tanaric]

...ah. Yes.

Right then.

Kairen Bloodclaw, round 4

Bite, bite, bite, bite the annoying tinfoil man!

Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]
(Previous damage roll wasn't accounting for Magic Fang, by the way, and should have done 1 more damage.)

[RandomAction]

Ok, 1 hp and losing.

Golem,R4:
Attack: [roll0]
Crit: [roll1]
Damage: [roll2]
Crit damage: [roll3]

Done.

[Tanaric]

Kairen Bloodclaw, round 5

Standard: Attempt to perform home dentistry with Golem's armor plating.

Bite: [roll0] (Wasn't accounting Magic Fang on the last roll. I think I'm losing my mind.)
Damage: [roll1]

Done.

Ack! Broke a tooth. :smallfrown:

[RandomAction]

Have I even hit you?
Ha! I have been watching the match with Donkey too.

Golem,R6:
Try to make a furry cape.
Attack:[roll0]
Crit:[roll1]
Damage:[roll2]
Crit damage:[roll3]

Done.

[Tanaric]

That was your first hit.

And it hurt.

I am going to bite you now.

Kairen, round 6

Swift: Switch Law Devotion to AC. attack. Sorry, it made no sense to switch it to what it already was, and I included the +3 in the attack.

Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

Done.

[RandomAction]

Well, you are offically wearing adamant braces now. That and my metal a$$ is like used chewing gum.

[Tanaric]

OMNOMNOMNOMNOM-

Ack! It's like a metal popcorn hull! Stuck on my tonsils! Curse youuuuuuu!

[RandomAction]

Hey, sorry to go but my nephew just woke up and I gotta put him back to bed. I will be on later today, wanna try out Veldrin?

edit: Just read your post and now gotta clean my screen from the tea I was drinking.

[Tanaric]

Uh... it's 12:15 a.m. for me, so "Later today" will have to be at least eight hours from now. :smallwink:

And sure.

Edit: Ha. I've still got the touch. :smallcool:

[RandomAction]

It's 1:18 here and 'later today' will be around 5 or 6 for you.
