[Master_Rahl22]

Refs:
I just realized that I was holding Alchemist's Fire and my flail was sheathed. Does that make the charge illegal? Do I need to redo my turn?

[Sallera]

Goltoth:Well, the charge and attack weren't illegal, since your unarmed strike was still available; just different numbers (and an AoO).

[Master_Rahl22]

Refs:
So do I need to reroll the attack and/or damage? Who takes care of the AoO?

[Sallera]

We can probably unspoiler this. Just roll the unarmed damage, the attack roll stands. Symbol can roll the badger's AoO.

[TheFallenOne]

why roll the damage? The attack roll misses :smallconfused:

[RandomAction]

Here is the AoO for the badger,

Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

And here is my turn, as well.

remember that the minimum damage per attack is 1, regardless of strength malus

[hustlertwo]

Which really makes rolling it unnecessary, doesn't it?

[Master_Rahl22]

In that case, Goltoth takes 1 damage. His turn stands as is. Symbol is up.

[TheFallenOne]

Which really makes rolling it unnecessary, doesn't it?

yeah, kinda as unnecessary as spoilering a spell and posting spellcraft DC to identify it although it's painfully obvious which spell is cast. People still do it, don't know why

[RandomAction]

Well, I don't think I can charge from here so......

I believe that means it lands in G-14, thus not harming anybody. Go ahead with your turn.

[hustlertwo]

Assuming DR means damage resistance, I don't think it would reduce damage from an Alchemist's Fire, either directly or splash-wise. It's an energy attack, and all energy attacks, even nonmagical ones, are not impacted by damage reduction.

[Master_Rahl22]

First, yes DR wouldn't help against alchemist's fire, but this landed 2 squares away so I'm pretty sure it was too far away. Second, neither the badger nor Symbol have reach, so they couldn't have attacked me. I'm not sure whether Symbol just loses his turn then, or what.

[Sallera]

C14 to E14 is only one range increment, though, so it would still deal 1 splash damage. And yes, Symbol's attack is wasted. The badger would have stepped closer, though, since technically Symbol is only ordering it to attack rather than controlling it directly.

[Master_Rahl22]

Ok, so the badger's first claw and bite hit, for 3 total damage.

Goltoth, Turn 8

5ft step to B-15
Free: Drop flail
Move: Draw Alchemist's Fire

Throw the alchemist's fire at Symbol if he comes within 10 ft of me, or if he goes farther away than 20ft from me

I really need to pay more attention to my opponent's movement. Oh, well that happens, glad Symbol didn't hit.

Symbol,R-9:
-Badger-
Since he was considered to have 5' stepped and then attacked, He will do the same again this round, his last sadly.

5' step to C-14 from C-13.
Full attack - full round.
Claw 1: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

He disappears at the end of this turn.

The badger disappears at the beginning of this turn, actually, so no attacks.

Edit: Also, you took 1 damage from the alchemist's fire.

[Master_Rahl22]

Symbol's movement triggers my readied action. Putting rolls in next post cause I posted too quickly. :smallannoyed:

Waiting on a ref question before deciding whether or not to take the AoO, and what to do on my turn.

[Master_Rahl22]

[roll0]
[roll1]

[Master_Rahl22]

[roll1]

That extra 1 splash may or may not happen again, not sure.

LOL and it doesn't matter. Ok, waiting on ref question for AoO and my turn.

[Master_Rahl22]

Ref question answered, I will not take the AoO.

Ok, then shield is still on, and I lose one of the claw attacks.

Ok a total of 7 points of damage so far. 1 from the prior splash and 6 just then. Not sure where the +1 is coming from.

I guess I roll for the fire damage now, or is it the area of the attacker/Ref?

You mean the fire damage for the next turn? I've seen it both ways; you can roll it, or he can. Of course, there's no guarantee he'll take it, if he decides to roll around and makes the roll to extinguish the flames.

[TheFallenOne]

Random is the one who would take the 6 fire, which would be enough to take him down while Rahl is at 0 HP after Randoms last attack. We came very close to a bleed-off here...

edit: actually no, forgot the con boost from Rage on Rahl

[Master_Rahl22]

... and the Shifter Ferocity feat that lets me act as normal until -10. So, match call?

[TheFallenOne]

I tend to wait for the other player to admit defeat or point out any mistakes/rule fu that might allow him to keep standing

[RandomAction]

Go ahead and call it, I should have let you roll the extra fire damage maybe you would have gotten a lower roll, but anyways.

Good match though, hope to see you again for a rematch.
