hm, gonna be interesting if he starts readying actions. Learning from his past mistake, he'll let them trigger when I'm outside my melee range and ruin my charge. If he doesn't shift next turn I know he'll try to stall out my Frenzy duration. That's why I brought the Restoration to at least negate the Fatigue if he's successful.

If he's really clever he'll use a readied move to my landing place after jumping, blocking my way and thus making me drop to my death. Though if he tries that I can either stop moving before the jump or get an AoO if he moves when I'm doing the jump. Still, gotta be careful

[Master_Rahl22]

Sorry, unexpectedly crazy weekend. I won't get another post up until Monday most likely.

Goltoth, Turn 2

Free: Shift
Move: Move to X-9
Standard: Ready an action
Move if Barberration comes within 25 feet at all, or if he comes close enough to jump to my platform and has movement left over to complete the jump.

Barberration Turn 3

Swift: move to X17
Partial move: go to X12

That would bring me into attack range, but I expect your readied to trigger somewhere along the way

[Master_Rahl22]

Readied action goes off, and Goltoth moves to X-11.

[TheFallenOne]

at which point does it go off? Depending on that you may or may not provoke an AoO and I get to revise the rest of my movement after your readied action

[Master_Rahl22]

Sorry, trigger was that you came within 25 feet, so it goes off while you're in X-14.

[TheFallenOne]

OK, so an AoO

[roll0]
[roll1]

non-action, so no trouble with falling to my doom etc

rest of turn after that

[TheFallenOne]

move back to X15
Free: Whirling Frenzy
Standard: whacking time

[Master_Rahl22]

Is there a precedent for AoO being "nonaction" and for such a nonaction to not make the force panes disappear?

[TheFallenOne]

pretty obvious a non-action, otherwise I couldn't take it outside my turn

the map says that the panes disintegrate after any action taken on them, so non-actions are no problem

[Master_Rahl22]

Well it looks like the dice won't save me this game

Goltoth, Turn 3

Move: Move to W-10, then due south to W-15
Free: Rage
Standard: Bite Barberration
[roll0]
[roll1] and 1 Con damage.

End of turn. And let that be a lesson to you to never insult the dice roller before you post your turn, or you get 2 nat ones... :smallannoyed:

hm, I think your rage may have caused your death?

[TheFallenOne]

damn, I can't get used to making concealment rolls for shadowy illumination
[roll0]
[roll1]

[Master_Rahl22]

Yes, yes it did cause my death. Congrats.

[TheFallenOne]

yay, I made it :smallbiggrin: nice matches

slight note on Goltoth: I think you wanted the Spirit Lion Totem from Complete Champion for Pounce, not the normal Lion Totem (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/variantCharacterClasses.htm) that gives the Run feat

[Master_Rahl22]

Thanks, yeah I'll change it.

[TheFallenOne]

oopsies, I just noticed I stupidly forgot to switch my greatsword to my hands :smallredface: well, that makes attacking with it impossible, so I think there's a rewind, allowing me to correct this oversight. And even if not, I can just attack with the armor spikes instead, [roll0] [roll1] is still easily enough

must pay more attention though in the future with things like that

[Master_Rahl22]

Meh, only amazing luck let me beat you the first time. We don't need a rewind.

[Psionic Dog]

Master Ref PsiDog

Barberration stands victorious as rewind declined.
