[Mysterious_A]

Just a masterwork Hide Tool, to counter that. :smalltongue: (-50gp)

Can we get started? (Arena first timer, bear with me)

[darkillini]

just as soon as you awsner how your gettin +2d6 ranged sneak attacks? is that from halfing rogue racial substitution? Im just curious.:smallbiggrin:

[Mysterious_A]

Yup. :smallbiggrin:

It reduces the melee sneak attack to give my ranged a boost. Thought it might come useful.

[darkillini]

alrighy then

Couple of questions for the refs:

Hiding being a part of a move action, staying hidden in one place is not possible, correct?

And, what is the action required for climbing down a tree? (or dropping from one)

[Sallera]

Godfrey:The act of hiding is part of the action, yes, but once you're hidden, you remain hidden as long as you take no actions involving physical movement. Any that do require a new Hide roll.

Climbing down a tree works the same as climbing up; climb check to move at 1/4 speed. Dropping down is a free action, although you take falling damage as normal if you fall more than 5 feet.

@sallera/refs
if I walk out around the corner while hiding, if im in the wide open just flat ground does the hide check remain in effect. or do I lose the hide status?

[Sallera]

Ryu:As long as you make a Hide check, it will apply whenever possible. If you lose cover and concealment to your opponent, it will break Hide, but you can still regain it by leaving LoS again.

Im bad with cover, in the event that I get to spit at him by gaining los/loe would he be counted as FF if he failed the spot check on inital gaining of los? also would me spitting at him around a corner which would be the likley in this position im in *hopefully* (and heres to hoping he didn't change direction and loop around behind me) since im closer to the wall edge (again hopefully because hed have an aoo against me if he was tied..) does it count as low cover that doesn't add to his ac?

Yes, a creature that does not see you is caught flat footed by the first attack you make*.

A creature has hide/ranged attack cover if your opponent can not draw an unobstructed line from any corner of his space to every corner of your space. (Melee cover is calculated differently)

Low Wall cover rules refer to short, horizontal walls and rarely applies.

That answer the question?

*Some exceptions in certain builds may apply.

Play on. :smallsmile:

Godfrey of Hallglade, Round 6

Refs/LoS:

Hmm, a shout? That's interesting. Don't know if whisper gnomes get ghost sound SLA, but whether they do or not, he seems to be wanting to draw me to that direction. I can only assume there's something nasty waiting for me northwest. Which is all the more reason to stay exactly where I am. :smalltongue:

ryu round 6

hmm nothing from the shout.. i still think he might be in this corner of the map, though if im right... hes doing same thing i am and if i walk around this corner ima get pelted by a really damaging sling.. soo assuming hes on this corner of the map lets try gambit part 2, i want to draw him to my los.. past this pillar if hes over here.

standard: use SLA ghost sound spell to create the sound of a character walking around A20, loud enough where someone in the general area would here it (such as i forgot to do a move slient check)

move: hide in location again [roll0]

lets see if we can draw him out and not get seen >.<

Noisy events:
1) Godfrey goes climbing. Take 5 for 16. Add in the wall and that's not going to be heard.

2) Ryu ghost sound walks the loudest theoretically possible without deliberately making noise. Take 1 hustling for DC 9 +1 distance.

[roll0] DC 10

Interacting with an illusion grants a will save to disbelieve. Seeing the alleged source of sound probably counts as interacting for an audible illusion.

Since, we can't ask Godfrey to roll a will save himself without giving metagame knowledge: [roll1]

You hear movement to the west. No LoS

Godfrey of Hallglade, Round 7

Refs/LoS:

Umm...west? I'm pretty sure if he was west of me, or moved down the map, I'd have been able to see him move (no cover on 19 west of me). Don't know exactly how that would work, though...

But anyway, I suppose I should get to doing something a little more active rather than sitting around waiting for him to come. Maybe do a little praying? :smalltongue:

Double-move to I-14 hiding and moving silently.

if insted of a readied actio ryu took another half speed move action, could he maintain his rolled hide check for the last move?

Ryu:Yes, you get one Hide check per turn regardless of how many actions you take.

Godfrey of Hallglade, Round 9

Refs/LoS:



Hmmm, don't know if he's in the north or the south... I think there's a tendency for him to have moved south, because I started there, but maybe he went back... gonna have to stay in the middle to avoid triggering a spittle I guess.

due to having los I can pop his last spoiler yes?

[darkillini]

ryu round 9

ok assumptions im working on, refs if any of these are wrong correct me, just hadn't gotten an awnser yet on previous question.
1. since i ahve los i can pop the spoiler that has los tag.
2. having done so i see him moving, which triggers my readied action to move making that move action a move to G19, maintaining previous hide check(39) since it's still under half speed.
3. this location still has no previous los change from earlier location(shares a corner that provides los) and his new location is also in los.
4.with +4 spot, he cannot make the spot check to find ryu, so if i attack he will be flat footed, vrs a touch attack and have an ac of 10+4(cover) of 14

ok turn 9 now.
standard+move? snipe attack with dissolving spittle, ff= sudden strike applies

lets see, 30 foot move speed off in that direction puts him next to the tree. now did he climb it, or ready an action to shoot me if ryu goes into his slings range... sadly that nice staight lane is now a possible deathtrap, so gotta go the long way to follow ugh. and lets get some longer range option here just in case.

Godfrey of Hallglade, Round 11

Refs/LoS:

Bah it's true, he is chasing me. He's got the higher hide, spot and damage output, so it makes sense, but I still don't like it.

Alright, time to meet him head-on, if I can. Since apparently he wasn't in the north, I can only assume the snipe came from the south. So I'm going to do a sweep from the left to the right to see if I can spot him in the corridor, denying him cover.

Move action J-10 (while hiding).

[Mysterious_A]

Sallera/refs:

Yes! Really? Can't believe that actually worked.

Question, though, for me to decide what I do next: would he get cover if I were to shoot at him from I-10?

[Sallera]

Godfrey:No, he wouldn't.

Still Godfrey's turn, by the way; forgot to note that.

[Mysterious_A]

Godfrey of Hallglade, Round 11 (revision)

Then I guess there is nothing else to say other than "Woo!!" :smallbiggrin:

Upon reaching I-10, Godrick aims uses his trustworthy sling to shoot at Ryu, the sneaky spitter (standard action).

Attack:[roll0]

Damage: [roll1]

Sneak Attack damage (if he hasn't spotted me): [roll2]

Edit: To clarify, if the "aims" thing was unclear, this was a regular attack. Standing by for results...

Done.

[Sallera]

LoS is established after Godfrey attacks Ryu (A:21, D:8) from I10; Ryu is in J20.

[darkillini]

Sigh, of course I walk right into a fireing lane right after I get him on the run, and the rng punishes me for my mistake. That should hit, and kock ryu out. :smallmad:

[Mysterious_A]

Oh yeah, forgot sneak damage wasn't applicable due to the range (got a good roll though, which is a major "whew").

Anyway, did the attack hit? His AC from the sheet says so, but I don't know his current stats. Don't see rageclaws or anything of the type on the sheet, so I'm guessing...-1 hp? (or maybe he has some sort of immediate psionic power he can trigger, I'm not very familiar with psionics...)

[Mysterious_A]

@dark:

Actually, I was on the run until you posted "the chase begins again" or something like that. I then decided to not run from you like a scared bunny, and came back (at which point I gained LoS).

Good match, though. Ryu is one terrifying character with the ungodly hide and such. :smallsmile:

Edit: And also, major praising to the dice gods, that prevented you from knocking me out with that snipe and made my first match a win. It probably means I'll get pummeled in the next one, but that's the risk I suppose. :smalltongue:

Do I have to reduce Ryu to -10, by the way? Or is knocking him out already good enough?

[darkillini]

Sigh I shouldn't have drawn the bow, and moved double range instead.

Nah knock out is good enough in 1v1.

Gl in next match. If we get a rematch here, im def not forgeting a certain item I forgot to buy haha.

[Mysterious_A]

Curious and slightly scared of what that may be. :smalltongue:

I'll reread the thread with your actions once a ref stops by and declares it over. Should be fun to see the other side of the hide-and-seek.

And thanks, I'll try to make stealth characters everywhere proud.

[Sallera]

High Ref Sallera

Godfrey knocks Ryu senseless for the win.
