I'm disappointed Sallera. If you play a guy called Occam he should have a razor, or maybe a knife. Bonus points for Sapphire Nightmare Blade

[RandomAction]

Shhh! You trying to get me killed?

Hard to put into words, just think it fits. Something about catching someone flatfooted with proper application or making a problem easier to touch

:smallmad: Messed up roll!

Forgot to add the +2 for invisibility, retry: [roll0] vs Flat Footed.

[Sallera]

>< Miscalculated my readied action. Stairs mean that you go from 15ft away to 5ft, and thus it's useless. Should have activated my See Invis... well, wouldn't have helped with that roll anyway. Fort: [roll0]

[Sallera]

Right, so, blind and can't read my scroll.

[Sallera]

Yeh, it's as invis, so that's a hit and match. A good game; I should have gone with my usual tactic of allowing the AC to get into melee before casting Entangle, but I wanted to have Enrage up so it'd be less likely to get one-shotted.

[RandomAction]

Yes I admit to building this new version of Veldryn as a damage heavy unit. That last move with the Blinding Vanish was the first time I have used that ability in combat.
I hope the 2v2 that Vel is entered in quickens up and I can get another win or two for him. I am removing the Precocious Apprentice feat for the Blend into Shadows feat.

Rematch to kill time awaiting? 2-on-2 match maybe?

[Sallera]

I think Occam's problem is that he's too reliant on the AC. Sure, he's practically impossible to hide from (potential +21 spot mod, scent, see invis...), and has some nice utility with high save DC druid spells, but he can't do that much once he finds you.

2v2 exhibitions tend to kill a little too much time. :smalltongue: I'm up for a rematch, though. Purchasing a potion of Mage Armor instead of the scroll, switching AC for a camel.
