ToS Exhibition: Sign/Terran

[Signmaker]

Preferred Map? Buff rounds? Etc?

[theterran]

What ever you need to thoroughly test your character works for me. :smallwink:

I'm still working out some kinks in my guys (mostly monetary)...so keep that in mind. :smallwink:

That's fine. I'm open for any map, and I think 3 buff rounds should work pretty well for what I've got in mind. Happen to know any new maps of interest?

Edit: how about this one?

[theterran]

That works, you wanna start North / South or East / West?

And is that 3 rounds + all-days, or just 3 rounds?

Initiative (can't win)

[Signmaker]

Me and my familiar (atop a Phantom Steed) gallop to R8/S9.

Me and my familiar manifest augmented Synchronicity. Schism readies an action to Silent Stilled Wall of Light should LoS be established with enemy. I ready an action to Fell Drain Magic Misisle should LoS be established. Familiar readies an action to Moon Bolt should LoS be established.

I should probably let you know now, I can detect spellcasting within 100 feet via Battlemagic Perception. Just fyi.

And that should conclude my turn. Lemme know when we get LoS, as I think we've got too many hard corners in the way at the moment.

[theterran]

I'm not familiar with BattleMagic Perception, what book might it be in? (And does it allow for you to ID spells, or just realize that someone is casting?)

[Signmaker]

I'm not familiar with BattleMagic Perception, what book might it be in? (And does it allow for you to ID spells, or just realize that someone is casting?)

Heroes of Battle. It only works with LoE. Of course, as long as I hear your casting I can ID it anyway, so eh. Additionally, I've got a Ring of Spellbattle which doesn't require LoS/LoE at 60 feet.

Also, my Spellcraft checks are +25. I'd hope I ID your spells.

Extra edit: Also, if I have LoS I also know the caster level.

[theterran]

Sweet, I'm gonna have to look those up :smallsmile:

Also, with the Ring, do you even have to hear it, or not?

OO
Swift Cast Spell Resistance, Silent Cast Sheltered Vitality

Oracle Ready a Reciprocal Gyre on LoE/LoS

If you have to hear:
You hear me cast Spell Resistance.

If you don't have to hear.
You hear me cast Spell Resistance, and you just know that Sheltered Vitality was also cast

Still no LoS / LoE

You're up.

[Signmaker]

The ring doesn't require any visual or verbal hints, no.

My floating readied action triggers. Scroll casting of Srinshee's Spell Shift, if you can make the DC24 check or whatnot.

Now on with my turn.

Me and my familiar manifest augmented Synchronicity. Schism readies an action to Silent Stilled Wall of Light should LoS be established with enemy. I ready an action to Rapid Fell Drain Hail of Stone should LoS be established. Familiar readies an action to Moon Bolt should LoS be established.

Move to U12[]V13, which should trigger LoS. Lemme know if you've got anything, cause I sure do. =P

[theterran]

Yep...you moving into LoE/LoS triggers a ready action...:smallwink:

How many spells / spell-like abilities do you currently have effecting you?

[Signmaker]

A good dozen or so. Are you casting something?

Regardless, I've also got actions that trigger on LoS.

1. You've been Rapid Fell Drained Hail of Stone'd for [roll0] damage + 1 negative level. I'm no longer under the effect of Eyes of the Oracle.

2. A wall of what appears to be opaque light extends from W12-W15, which disrupts your LoS. That doesn't block your spell, but that's okay because:

If I'm allowed to spellcraft:
I auto-succeed. You hit yourself with whatever you're trying to hit me with.

[theterran]

...so I'm guessing your stuff goes off first then? :smallconfused:

[Signmaker]

...so I'm guessing your stuff goes off first then? :smallconfused:

I'm assuming it's simultaneous, but I don't actually know. Regardless, can I spellcraft?

[theterran]

Yep...so it bounces back at me...

dealing me [roll0]

[roll1]
[roll2]

And I need 2 Will Saves from you.

And what on earth turned it back on me, if you don't mind me asking? :smallsmile:

Ring of Spell-battle, and what for? If they're spells/powers I'd like to know what they are, especially since I have more actions left. Essentially, anything you do that can be prematurely detected I need to know you're at least attempting, even if I can't identify it. If it's a whiplash effect from something you already have, make the distinction clear.

It's a whiplash effect from something already present, sorry :smallredface:

(edit)

And I only need 1 Will Save...sorry.

[Signmaker]

[roll0]

Wellllp. I end my turn, assuming nothing else happens.

Edit: What are you again? I happen to be an old human on top of a Phantom Steed with my trusty Ice Mephit.

[theterran]

I'm an old Kobold...:smallsmile:

What's your Int score btw...Mindsight and all :smallsmile:

[Signmaker]

Eighteen. My Ice Mephit's is 6.

[theterran]

How tall is this opaque wall?

[Signmaker]

How tall is this opaque wall?

30 feet tall.

[theterran]

30 feet tall.

Is the ceiling over 30ft tall? :smallconfused:

[Signmaker]

If you want it to be.

[theterran]

:smallsigh:

I cast Eyes of the Oracle.

Then Cast fly, but you hear no sound.

Then I fly east out of LoS.

OO:
Ending in V24. Ready an action to cast Wings of Force if he comes within 30ft.

Your go.

[Signmaker]

Wizards manifests Synchronicity. Schism readies a Dimension Jump teleport should an offensive spell be identified that the wizard cannot Wings of Cover. Wizard readies a scroll of Disjunction upon establishing LoS. Familiar readies an action to Magic Missile should LoS be established and the Wizard gives the OK.

Move to N24[]O25. Anything happen, or can I finish my turn?

[theterran]

I'm in V24, and you can finish...:smallconfused:

[Signmaker]

You hear the wizard casting Disjunction off a scroll, followed by the familiar casting Magic Missile. Response, if any?

[Signmaker]

[roll0] Caster Level check vs CL17

[theterran]

Wings of Cover the Disjunction.

[Signmaker]

As you're in 100 feet, counterspelled by burning a Wings of Cover as a free action, thus ending my Battlemagic Perception.

Edit: Never would I have thought I would have counterspelled a defensive spell with itself. That's just downright amusing.

[theterran]

Looks like I get smacked by Disjunction and MM then...:smallconfused:

[Signmaker]

Awesome. As it's a scroll, that'll be a DC23 Will save for your equipment, as well as [roll0] Force damage from my Ice Mephit.

[theterran]

That should cover my Items...
[roll0]
[roll1]
[roll2]
[roll3]
[roll4]
[roll5]
[roll6]
[roll7]
[roll8]


Do spells effecting me get the roll as well, or just the items?:smallconfused:

[Signmaker]

For future reference, I wouldn't suggest trying WoC against Disjunction, as I can specifically use an area attack to instead bypass the WoC. Which, as disjunction already is an area attack, means that you would have been trapped regardless. WoC isn't really useful against area attacks, other than the +8 to reflex that it provides.

Edit: Spellbuffs are automatically dispelled, it is only your items that make the save.

Your equipment all seems fine.

[theterran]

Well look at that...it is an area spell...:smalleek:

I thought it was targeted...

[Signmaker]

Evil spell, it is. I wouldn't mind it being banned if we didn't have builds floating around with absurd caster levels that make it impossible to dispel otherwise.

And I'm done with my turn. Feel free to try and retaliate.

Moar Edit: I've found the first flaw in my idea; my familiar, while extremely versatile in action abuse, doesn't actually have much to DO with those actions, combat-wise. I'm going to have to fix that somehow, because as it stands the Mephit only makes a good buffer.

[theterran]

:smallsigh:

Swift Action: Cast Spellcaster's Bane.

Standard Action: Spell Theft.

Dispel Rolls (if it actually gets through)

[roll0]
[roll1]
[roll2]
[roll3]
[roll4]
[roll5]
[roll6]
[roll7]
[roll8]
[roll9]
[roll10]
[roll11]
[roll12]
[roll13]
[roll14]
[roll15]

[Signmaker]

Funny. Had I not just burned my BMP, I could have actually countered that Bane. Oh well. Wings of Cover the Theft. The Wings also block off my Mount and Familiar against your Spell Theft.

[theterran]

Your go...

[Signmaker]

Familiar readies an action to breath weapon if you approach within 10 feet

Wizard manifests Synchronicity, Schism casts a Silent Stilled Battlemagic Perception. Done.

[theterran]

Move to within 30ft.

Cast Wings of Force.

[roll0] Reflex Halves

[Signmaker]

Judging from the 30 feet remark, I'll assume you're talking about Wings of Flurry. Regardless, my readied action is to Fell Drain Magic Missile for [roll0] Force Damage + 1 Negative Level. For insurance I'll also cast Ruin Delver's Fortune to grant evasion. If you make the requisite Concentration check, here are the reflex saves:

Wizard: [roll1]
Familiar: [roll2]

Edit: DC27 then. Bear in mind the -2 from the two negative levels.

[theterran]

The MM kills me.

[Signmaker]

...wow. Didn't see that coming. I thought I was the only one silly enough to run a frail caster.

Good game. Did you like my Schrodinger's Wizard via Synchronicity and Battlemagic Perception?

[theterran]

So...I'm guessing you were a Cerebramancer?

And it was rough...it appears that if you don't have a crazed action economy in ToS, you just won't make it.

[Signmaker]

So...I'm guessing you were a Cerebramancer?

And it was rough...it appears that if you don't have a crazed action economy in ToS, you just won't make it.

Nope. I was actually a straight-up Mystic Theurge with UPD. That's why you only ever saw me manifest, like, four different powers.

And to be fair, my action economy setup was deliberately abusive. While I didn't have twinned synchronicity with anticipatory strike, I didn't really need it due to the fact that my synchronicity use was purely a counterattack mechanism. That, combined with Schism and Eyes of the Oracle, meant that I could more or less drain off my opponent's best spells with my own lower-levelled tricks (Wings of Cover+ Wall/Teleportation-based LoS disruption). Having a familiar that could also do things meant even more potential for counterattack setups.

[theterran]

Where is Ice Mephit for a familiar? I was curious about that earlier and couldn't find it...though there are so many splat books to look through...:smallsigh:

[Signmaker]

Improved Familiar feat. The Ice mephit is available via the DMG, but the other mephits were also open to taking since, I believe, Complete Arcane. I just happen to like the Ice Mephit for A. Charisma, B. Breath Weapon, and C. A single-use Magic Missile effect.

[Signmaker]

Note: Apparently, I can't counterspell Wings of Cover with Wings of Cover, due to the wording of Counterspelling. Regardless, that doesn't affect the match, but let my mistake be recorded thusly.

[theterran]

Yeah, it wouldn't have effected the outcome at all...since it was an area spell anyway.
