As your scorpion attempts to move out of U10, it gets hit with a readied action and an AoO, after which you see Rai in W9, wielding a longspear, with a flask of alchemist's fire in her mouth. (Since its FF AC is the same as its normal, whether it saw me or not is somewhat irrelevant.)
Readied: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

AoO: [roll2]

Feel free to revise your own actions, if you wish (and the scorpion's, if it lives.)

That was a miss wasn't it?

I should edit the post and put - "Watch the roller make a fool out of me when I call for a low damage!"

[Sallera]

Oh, heh, I was about to say that hit, then I realized you'd added prone to your attack roll instead of the AC penalty it's supposed to be. :smalltongue: Yesh, miss (thankfully).

Rai, Round 8

Well, I'm going to take an AoO either way, so...

Yeah, I figured that it would work out the same as long as I kept your AC unmodified.

My devotion is still in attack mode, btw. Here's the AoO:

Wow, two misses with full damage. I think I need to send Symbol back for weapon's training.

[Sallera]

That was close. No hits, though.

[Sallera]

Throwing the flask triggers Rai's readied action; 5ft step to W11 and start concentrating. Since it misses and lands on you, we both take 2 damage. Concentration to not lose my... well, concentration: [roll0], DC12, I think. Need to see if that succeeds.

[Sallera]

Rai, Round 10

[Sallera]

Oh, I think both of us failed to include the range penalties there. So the frost missed, dealing 1 to me with the splash, and I think mine still hit.

[RandomAction]

I think we are within 10' of each other, so range penalties wouldn't apply, would they? And OUCH! FIRE IS HOT!

[RandomAction]

So if I am right here, 2 points from Acidic fire + 1 from Frost splash + 8 from Electrical hit = 11hp total damage. I think I got you.

On the other side, after I have taken 10 points of damage, I am at 0hp and still able to function.

This is the first match, that I know of, that two gladiator just stood there throwing things at each other.

[Sallera]

Penalties start at the first increment. And unfortunately for Symbol, Rai manifested Vigor in Round 2, so she's still standing. Extra damage for the alchy's fire: [roll0], which should finish the match - in the other direction. ^^

[RandomAction]

Looking back over the match I did hit you with the Frost attack. You were in W-11 after your readied and I was in W-13. That's 10' away and the flask had a range of 10'.

[Sallera]

Yes, and as I said, range penalties start at the first increment.
...each full range increment imposes a cumulative -2 penalty on the attack roll.

[hustlertwo]

Correct. So you always have at least a -2 on alchemist's fires and the like unless you are adjacent to your target. It also applies for bows and slings and such, but comes up a lot less frequently.

Rai takes the match!
