[Wizibirb]

Reporting in... Also would like to remind my opponent I may not be able to post tuesday-thursday.

[roll0]

here is my character.
Hues (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=214214)

[AlterForm]

Noted on the posting schedule.

[roll0]

My character: Incarnom-nom-nom (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=214212)

Hues looks fine, except that the feat I think you wanted to list is "Shape Soulmeld (Rageclaws)", not "Ragemeld soulclaws."

[Wizibirb]

DO you wish me to change this or does it really matter?

Edit -
I am not qualified to check your sheet, however I will assume you have everything in order.

[AlterForm]

Doesn't matter for this. Just in case you ever used it in a real arena character.

Ready to go?

[Wizibirb]

I am indeed though I think I am not going to last long.

[AlterForm]

If you don't mind, I'm going to grab a club at the last moment. They're free, so...why not?

Incarnom - Round 1

LoS
Begin in Y13. Dissolving Spittle and Astral Vambraces are both shaped, with 1 essentia invested into each. Club wielded in one hand.

Refs/los

double move J - 17


stats

hp: 4/4
ac: 11

[Sallera]

LoS is established as Hues reaches H16. Incarnom is in O12. Hues may revise his turn from this point.

[Wizibirb]

End move action. at H16

Ready an action -

Move if I am attacked


Stats -

Hp: 4/4
Ac: 11


End turn.

[TheFallenOne]

AlterForms character is very similar to what I had initially in mind, but in the end I wanted something more exotic and attacking touch AC isn't worth that much since nobody can afford good armor. Certainly competent though

[AlterForm]

Incarnom - Round 2

Swift: Activate Law Devotion, tuned to AC
Move: 20 ft to L15
Standard: Dissolving Spittle at Hues
[roll0] vs Touch AC
[roll1]

Status
HP: 7/7 (DR 4/Magic)
AC: 19 (2 armor, 4 dex, 3 law devotion) (Touch 17, FF 15) (+2 for small pillar)
Soulmelds: Dissolving Spittle (1/1), Astral Vambraces (1/1)
Law Devotion: Ends at top of Incarnom round 12
Club wielded in one hand.
Position: L15

End Turn

[Wizibirb]

Trigger my readied action
Move to J-14 K-15 since I can't read a map. Ikeep thinking I was somewhere else. that and I can't keep a strait line sorry.(I believe is the square.. that puts me right next to you correct. I apologize I have trouble reading the map.)

Is dissolving spittle a ranged attack and provoke an AoO?

if so attempt to trip.
[roll0] Melee touch attack

strength check
[roll1]

If successful make an attack
[roll2]

damage
[roll3]

[AlterForm]

Yes, it's ranged and provokes. 4 dex, 3 law devotion, and 2 for the pillar puts my touch AC at 19, narrowly avoiding nigh-certain doom.

[Wizibirb]

Yes, it's ranged and provokes. 4 dex, 3 law devotion, and 2 for the pillar puts my touch AC at 19, narrowly avoiding nigh-certain doom.

It is a melee touch attack I do believe I hit
and besides does the pillar give +2 to touch ac? and law devotion also gives touch? man law devotion is good if it does.

if you don't mind though i am getting a ref

[AlterForm]

Touch attacks only deny armor, shield, and natural armor bonuses to AC; the pillar's bonus is untyped and law devotion provides a sacred or profane bonus (would Joss Whedon be Lawful or Chaotic?).

[TheFallenOne]

Alter is right, Touch only ignored Armor/Shield/Natural Armor. Though since now it is your turn you do have another chance to deliver pain :smallwink:

Whedon is lawful, his treatment of lovable characters is too consistent for him to be chaotic

[Wizibirb]

huh.... if that is so, I guess I take 5 damage and it is now my turn.

Try that again
MTA
[roll0] (sob sob sob)

Trip attempt
[roll1]

If Tripped, attack
[roll2]

damage
[roll3]

end turn
stats

hp: -1/4
Ac: 11


Edit
I can't win If I can't hit

[TheFallenOne]

I can't win If I can't hit

I think there are several character concepts that can prove this to be wrong :smallbiggrin:

[AlterForm]

Incarnom - Round 3

Move: To L12 via M14 (Provokes AoO as I leave L15)
Standard: Dissolving Spittle (Shift Law Devotion to Attack at start of this action)
[roll0] vs Touch AC
[roll1]
Free: Speak: "BLARGH" (Shift Law Devotion to AC at start of this action)

Status
HP: 7/7 (DR 4/Magic)
AC: 19 (2 armor, 4 dex, 3 law devotion) (Touch 17, FF 15) (+2 for small pillar)
Soulmelds: Dissolving Spittle (1/1), Astral Vambraces (1/1)
Law Devotion: Ends at top of Incarnom round 12
Club wielded in one hand.
Position: L12

End Turn

[AlterForm]

I think there are several character concepts that can prove this to be wrong :smallbiggrin:

Winning without hitting, or winning without needing to hit? Kelgore spam and Fellcheese fit the latter, but I can't come up with anything for the former.

[Wizibirb]

Making my AoO

MTA -
[roll0] (wohoo!)

Trip attempt -
[roll1]

Attack -
[roll2](DOH!)

damage
[roll3]

[AlterForm]

Lessee...can't win the opposed check, but the attack misses.

Not sure if I keep my previous attack roll or have to make a new one.

[TheFallenOne]

Winning without hitting, or winning without needing to hit? Kelgore spam and Fellcheese fit the latter, but I can't come up with anything for the former.

What, you don't although you play a character called Incarnom? :smallbiggrin:

There's a Soulmeld that does fire damage to everyone attacking you in melee(Mantle of Flame). So against meleers you can win while just twiddling your thumb if you're tough enough :smalltongue: Add Deflect Arrows or Block Arrow and ranged attacks are no issue as well, so you just have to worry about casters and reach weapons

[TheFallenOne]

you keep it, though theoretically you're allowed to change your standard action since you got interrupted on your move action

[AlterForm]

Actions remain the same, except that I end prone in L15 instead of L12.

At least commoners die fast. :smallbiggrin:

[TheFallenOne]

that sums up the experiences of every DM trying to simulate a commoner uprising against monstrous humanoid occupiers

[Wizibirb]

Yell -
Ow Ow OW!

then Keep attacking!
you are now prone so -2 to ac.

attack -
[roll0] (Typical)

Damage
[roll1]

Stats -

HP: -8
ac: 11

[AlterForm]

-4, actually, not that it matters there.

Incarnom - Round 4

Standard: Dissolving Spittle (Provokes AoO)
[roll0] vs Touch AC
[roll1]

Turn not done.

[Wizibirb]

How many time can you use that stupid thing?

and my last chance.
[roll0]

[roll1] (min damage really really typical)

[TheFallenOne]

Dissolving spittle works as often as he wants. Incarnum stuff

At least you hit with -4 prone AC

[AlterForm]

21 AC ... less 4 for being prone ... makes that a hit. Astral Vambraces take 4 off the damage, reducing it to 3.

[EDIT]: We were supposed to take the Commoner class, not Ninja. :smalltongue:

[Wizibirb]

I do believe that drops me down to a -12... with your attack.

and you have Dr 4..... wow... damn. How do I beat that? O wait I don't. is this a single elimination?

[AlterForm]

You pretty much had to hit me twice. I might have been better off taking Rageclaws instead of that extra point of Essentia. Oh well.

GG; had me scared for a bit when I saw you were rocking rageclaws.

Pretty sure we're doing a double elim mini-tourney.

[TheFallenOne]

yeah, double elimination. Just think it's a 2on2, only 1 player per team

well with you done you can provide LoS for Psidog and me to speed things up :smallwink:

[Wizibirb]

Well I rolled way to many twos (well one but same difference) to hit you twice.

The dice were not on my side this time. Good game. I enjoyed it.

And yes rageclaws is beautiful and It allowed me to get in their.
I just could not beat your ac.

[Wizibirb]

Question what happens when you are not proficient with the armor you are wearing?

[TheFallenOne]

A character who is wearing armor with which she is not proficient applies its armor check penalty to attack rolls and to all skill checks that involve moving, including Ride.

so everyone can wear leather or masterwork studded leather without penalty(except spell failure), even commoners

[Wizibirb]

So that is what it does.... Thanks
