All Combatants, please roll initiative and declare final purchases, if any

[RandomAction]

Ini ll: [roll0]

No purchases.

[Sallera]

Init: [roll0]

Purchasing a scroll of Hawkeye and Sandblast. My AC for the match will be a riding dog.

You, uh, might want to reroll your initiative. <<;;

[RandomAction]

More than likely get the same result.

Ini reroll: [roll0]

[RandomAction]

Feel kinda foolish asking this one, but the Rainbow Beam spell deals 1d12/3 levels. Would this mean casting it @ CL3 would net 2d12 beam(s)?

[Sallera]

Nope, it'd be 1d12.

Occam, Round 1

Starting in N23, holding scroll and sling in one hand. AC is in M23.
5ft step to N22.
Full-round: Start casting a spell, DC16 to identify:Cloudburst.
Free: Handle AC to attack you, DC10: [roll0]
On a success, AC double moves to H14.

Stats:HP 8/8, AC16 (14, 12)
Active Effects: None
Spells prepared: 0th - Cure Minor Wounds x2, Resistance; 1st - Cloudburst, Entangle
Done.

[RandomAction]

Looking at the spell description 1d12 per three caster levels, at what CL would it gain the 2d12? 6th?

Arcanicius,R-1:
Start in N-3 holding three opened scrolls in one hand.
Cast a spel from first scroll - standard.
Spellcraft DC:16Shield @ CL1, duration 1 minute.
Shift used scroll to free hand - free.

Move to T-3.

End turn.

[RandomAction]

Give me an opinion here Sallera:

Using the Rainbow Beam spell, should I keep it or find something else.

On one hand it gives random damage type, so it will be hard to use resist potions to protect against. Keeps me from being a single elementalist on damage.

The other, A 1d12 for damage. I believe that there are more damaging spells out there, Seeking Ray for example does 4d6. Limits my major damage dealt to electrical and can be potioned.

[Sallera]

Aye, 6th. (Also, I noticed that I never got around to doing flaws, so I'll take Murky-Eyed and Vulnerable.)

Occam, Round 2

Spell finishes casting. It is now raining on a 100ft radius centred on M13/N14 (in other words, the whole map). Fire damage gets -1 damage/die, ranged attacks take a -4 penalty.
Standard: Cast Hawkeye from scroll.
Move: To T22.
AC double moves to T11.

Edit: I'd go with something other than Rainbow Beam. Honestly, it's a pretty weak spell for 2nd level. I'd take it as a 1st-level spell, but... 6.5 damage?

[RandomAction]

Nice counter.

Arcanicius,R-2:

Wish I could get loose so we can 'sling' it out.

End turn.

[Sallera]

Well, given that I can probably only hit you on a nat 20 right now, the entangle is likely to run out before your HP does.

Readied action goes off when you reach S4; take [roll0] damage, Reflex 11 for half. If you fail, you're stunned for a round. (I think. Going from memory on the Sandblast spell here.)

Occam, Round 16

Free: Drop scroll, wield spear.
In the likely event that you made that save, attempt to stab you.

If you didn't, throw the spear instead (-1 to above attack roll) and move to X6.

Barring a failed save, is there any movement after your poking action towards me?

See results first, turn in next post.

[RandomAction]

Yeah 10' radius burst emitted from you. I take some non-lethal damage and stand there spitting out dust-bunnies.

Well then....

Arc,R-16:
Arc hears a 'Your Momma' joke from the gathered crowd and stands in stunned silience at the crack on his parentage.

Hm, doesn't the stun end at the beginning of my Round 16?

With the Ok on the Arcane Bolt spell, I think I have my Lvl 2 picked out. In the Champions of Valor p.57-58, the spell is named Silver Dragonmail. :smallbiggrin: Since it doesn't list a cost for the mithral dragonscale, it would be included into a components pouch correct?

[RandomAction]

That hit and I am down to 0 hp. Go for broke.

Arc,R-18:
Attack Occam - standard.
Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

And then I am down to -1 hp.

End turn, maybe match unless bleed off occurs.

Nevermind, I forgot the non-lethal damage from earlier, you win.

[Sallera]

Only brings Occam down to -9 anyway. :smalltongue:

Still, good match. Always amusing when caster builds are reduced to prodding each other with sharp objects.

[RandomAction]

Yeah the fatal flaw of those who are casters. They think they are above such things and yet here two were rolling around in the mud trying to kill each other.
