Still considering purchases.

[Psionic Dog]

Never mind.
No planed purchases, but reserve right to reactionary buys.

You getting anything?

[Wizibirb]

buying 12 slings - 0 gp

1 psyonic tattoo of force screen -50 gp
1 potion of mage armor -50 gp
1 potion of expeditious retreat -50 gp.

[Psionic Dog]

First, expeditious retreat is a Personal spell. How are you getting that as a potion? (Because I'd love one of those myself...)

Second Sallera recently rediscovered that Personal Powers cost double (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/items/creatingPsionicItems.htm#creatingPsionicTattoos) when scribed as tattoos.

[Wizibirb]

Forgot about that little tid bit. and I have to rethink my strategy then as I am unsure of what to buy now so please disregard most of the last post.

[Psionic Dog]

Ready to start?

[Wizibirb]

starting in n-23 slings/weapons in off hand potion in other leaving leather armor outside arena.

and I am purchasing the psionic tattoo of force screen -100 gp.

[Psionic Dog]

Fingers starts in N-4 holding a glave fully armored.

[Sallera]

It's only the defender's check that's based off either. The attacker's is always strength.

[Wizibirb]

That sucks then. I will fix that later, luckily it has not come into play yet.

[Psionic Dog]

[Wizibirb]

I believe you succeed on that touch attack due to the mentioned part right?

or does my tattoo/mage armor prevent that (really tiered right now and not thinkin strait, well here is my opposed grapple anyways)

(its BAB + str mod right?)

[roll0]

[Psionic Dog]

I believe it was actually a flat-footed touch attack (invisible attack), so it probably hit.

Correct. I think your grapple mod is BaB + Str. Mine is a bit larger and included a size bonus and a feat bump.

[Wizibirb]

So we are now grappling joy.

Question could I of made an escape artist check instead?

[TheFallenOne]

Nonlethal - (1d6+7)[11] plus Lethal Spikes - (1d8)[1]


We had this with Sturmherz vs Xie a while ago, Kyeudo decided the spikes upgrade the whole damage to lethal piercing instead of doing bonus damage

so you did 1d8+7(8) lethal piercing in all

Not on the initiation of the grapple, though now to escape you can

[Wizibirb]

Trying to remember (and currently can't look it up) what kind of action it is to escape a grapple?

[roll0]

[Sallera]

Attack action with a grapple check, standard with Escape Artist.

[Psionic Dog]

Ok, I can see the "all lethal" but somehow I thought the spikes were a bonus rather than a replacement for the unarmed hit. Oh well.

Escape Artist attempts are Standard actions I believe.

[roll0]

Ninjad

[TheFallenOne]

by RAW, yes, but Kyeudo decided on a houserule for simplicities sake (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8767905&postcount=1426).

anyway, Escape attempt failed, and since there is I believe nothing RNH can do with the remaining move action it should be Fingers turn again

[Psionic Dog]

Good Point.

Fingers - Round 5
Hmm. Grapple attacks can be attempted in place of any attack. Whirling frenzy allows 2-attacks/round...

Double Squeeze!

[hustlertwo]

I assume the WF penalty applies to grapple attempts, since they are attack rolls. Doesn't look like it mattered anyhow.

[Wizibirb]

good game :smallfrown:
