[Wizibirb]

Question before we are ready, if a wizard had sudden extend at level 1 would he be able to make extended potions? of Level 1 spells for 50 gp? or no, i am guessing no but just wanted to check.

[Rahas]

Just stating I won't be able to post my turn until tommorow, still considering purchases.

[Sallera]

Brew Potion requires CL3, so it's not likely. Either way, metamagic items are created at the standard cost of the improved spell, regardless of the method used to cast it, so yes, a CL1 potion of an Extended 1st level spell would have a base price of 100g.

[Wizibirb]

so buying a potion extended expeditious retreat so it lasts an hour?
-100 gp

[theterran]

Assuming it was created at CL 1, it would infact last for 2 minutes...not an hour...

[Wizibirb]

Assuming it was created at CL 1, it would infact last for 2 minutes...not an hour...

Right cause it doubles the time I thought it moved it a step up :smallredface:

Yea buying one of them

[Sallera]

Expeditious Retreat is a Personal spell, and can't be made into a potion.

Let see how this plays out... Though I take it I trigger your readied action.

[theterran]

When you're 15 feet from me.

I cast a spell Spellcraft: DC16
Cause Fear DC14

And, since you're within 20ft of me, you fall under my Dreadful Wrath as well.

Need two will saves. :smallsmile:

[theterran]

@Refs:
Dreadful Wrath's DC = 10+1/2 CL + Cha Mod...so with a Cha Mod of +3, would the DC be 13 or 14? (Not sure if the half CL gets rounded to 1 regardless or not...) For reference see PGtF pg. 38

So the 2 Will Saves are

#1 Dreadful Wrath (DC 13 or 14 depending on the answer to the above)
#2 Cause Fear (DC 14)

[Wizibirb]

I am posting from work and shouldnt even be on the comp so I will post modifiers later apologies. and I knew I should of looked over your sheet before sacrificing myself to the slaughter


will 1 [roll0]

will 2 [roll1]

[theterran]

Readied Action (Cont).

As part of that readied action, I take a 5ft step toward you and put both hands back on the Guisarme, you failed both saves, so you now find yourself in a panicked state, please continue.

[Sallera]

The 5ft step works, but you can't take the free action necessary to shift grip.

[theterran]

Meh...alright...:smallsigh:

So I don't get the free...he's still panicked...for 1 minute...:smallsmile:

[Wizibirb]

so I flee in a random direction? or how does this work?

[theterran]

Panicked

A panicked creature must drop anything it holds and flee at top speed from the source of its fear, as well as any other dangers it encounters, along a random path. It can’t take any other actions. In addition, the creature takes a -2 penalty on all saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. If cornered, a panicked creature cowers. A panicked creature can use special abilities, including spells, to flee; indeed, the creature must use such means if they are the only way to escape.

Panicked is a more extreme state of fear than shaken or frightened.

Here is the SRD on Panicked...I stacked a shaken and a frightened to get here, so you have a -4 on all saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. And you drop anything in hand...not sure how we handle the "random path" aspect though...:smallconfused:

[Sallera]

Stacking fear abilities just increases the severity; the character isn't affected by the lesser versions as well (note the use of 'instead' in the description of fear effects). As for the fleeing, I believe that's meant to mean that the target simply flees by the most direct and obvious route possible, regardless of tactical considerations.

[theterran]

@Refs:

Okay, he was shaken by my Dreadful Wrath (-2), then Cause Fear frightened him (-2) elevating him to panicked. Both penalties are untyped, so wouldn't they stack in this? :smallconfused:

[Sallera]

Michelle:The penalties are a result of the condition, not imposed directly by the spells, and it states here (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#fear) that a shaken character who is made frightened becomes panicked instead, not in addition - in other words, while both effects persist, they are not shaken or frightened, just panicked.

[theterran]

@Sallera
The reason I think it stacks is due to the sentence right before it. Fear effects are cumulative.

[Sallera]

Michelle:The rest of that paragraph seems to read as an explanation of the first sentence, however; in context, 'fear effects' appears to be referring to 'effects that cause fear,' rather than 'conditions imposed by fear effects.' I'd check the RC on the matter, but I'm at work, so that will have to wait.

[Wizibirb]

So I drop my weapon and run.... Great....

also question... wouldn't you have to 5-ft step before you cast the spell not before?

I am waiting to see if the above has any affect on the current situation.

[Sallera]

It just says 'as part of the readied action;' the order isn't specified, so it doesn't matter.

[Sallera]

Michelle:Alright, had a look at the RC. It revises the descriptions of the effects to "Frightened/panicked creatures take penalties as if shaken," rather than specifying the -2, so it seems clear that the -2 only applies once.

No effect on the match, by the way; still waiting on Guy's flight path.

[Wizibirb]

apologies for the delay have been busy with stuff
move south and head out of LOS

move to N-20 (I believe I can make it there cause I still have travel devotion movement)

ready an action move if LOS is gained.

[Sallera]

Guy:A panicked creature can't take any actions other than fleeing at top speed; even if your readied action is to move, it's still not fleeing.

[theterran]

Is it my turn?

[Sallera]

Still need a correction from Guy.

[Wizibirb]

refs

in that case keep moving (double move) to h-23

[Sallera]

Refs:Nyar.

Michelle:You lose sight of Guy as he leaves N18 to the southwest.
