By the way, allies can enter other allies' squares without penalty, correct? (not that it applies to this round)

[darkillini]

they can pass through squares yes. they cannot end in the same square unless they are of tiny size or smaller

also your gonna start needing listen checks for these orders, especially in an actual match. (youve got a glass wall bettween you so its - 20 i think)

for now il just assume you gave it a significant enough order list co compensate for things that may happen.

[Mysterious_A]

Hm, I thought if you could see something you could hear it automatically? Gonna have to try and find the entry, if it exists...

Edit: Also, I don't see where glass walls are listed, though stone ones appear as a -15. Unlikely glass could be worse than stone, I think?

[darkillini]

meh i dont know.
anyway ending turn triggers readied action move: Q5->Q9->T9->U11->U12

[darkillini]

I think you need a concentration check there to cast a spell while riding a horse.

Also you can't direct the pets if your casting. So they wont do anything..

[Mysterious_A]

If my mount only moves a move action instead of a double move, I don't.

As for the second, I thought you could do free actions in the middle of other stuff, but just move them to before the spell then, I guess.

[darkillini]

hmm the dog readies an action and dosn't come near me. guess its gonna come try to provoke AoOs...

Conjure Ice Beast I

Carrots moves to X-12/Y-13.

Max moves to S-9.

Joey double moves to C-12.

Stats as above.

Done.

[darkillini]

ok ya, i was looking at the PH and you do need to make a concentration check to cast that spell if your mount moves at all, not just a double move.


Vigorous Motion: If you are riding on a moving mount, taking a
bouncy ride in a wagon, on a small boat in rough water, below-decks
in a storm-tossed ship, or simply being jostled in a similar fashion,
you must make a Concentration check (DC 10 + the level of the spell
you’re casting) or lose the spell.

so dc 11 concentration check please.

[Mysterious_A]

Incorrrect (due to incorrect interpretation :smalltongue: ). Try the more relevant section, Mounted Combat:


Casting Spells while Mounted: You can cast a spell normally if your mount moves up to a normal move (its speed) either before or after you cast.

[darkillini]

Yes, before or after. Not while, its the since this is a 1 round casting time (assuming that since it didn't go off on your turn) it gets kicked over to the concentration skill, to not lose the spell during casting.

so incorect due to incorect interpretation of Cast time vs when cast. Make the check :smallbiggrin:

[Mysterious_A]

So you're admiting you were wrong in your original post? :smallconfused:

Oh well. It's a solid piece of RAI. Let's leave it at: you were wrong, then I was wrong, and then you were right based on my wrong reply! A joint effort to find the truth! :smalltongue:

Ride: [roll0] (oh yeah, it's an auto-success, probably should have lead with that)

[darkillini]

concentration check not ride check >.<

[Mysterious_A]

My profusest of apologies, it would appear I have no idea what I'm doing. Can you forgive me?

Concentration: [roll0]

So what about what came before the roll? I would hate for you to have disagreed with any of it.

Your turn.

[darkillini]

you are correct in the mounted casting section for spells shorter then 1 round casting. i was correct on the concentration for 1 round and longer, so together we got the whole thing covered :smallsmile:

turn will be up later today when im at my computer with current battle map on it.

[darkillini]

opps forgot to post turn.

well now that i know this guy can evade 3 characters at once, i think il take a chance and see if it pays off..

eldon turn 3

Woah, nice ability. But does it still do hitpoint damage if it doesn't kill him?

Unnamed, Round 10

Joey sprays poison at Eldon (DC 12 Fort or blinded for [roll0] minutes primary and [roll1] Con secondary).

Resolve that and if not blinded open spoiler: Max double moves to E-10.

Unnamed finishes casting Conjure Ice Beast I and summons an Ice Beast Wolf on U-10.

Ice Beast double moves F-10 -> E-9 -> C-9 -> C-10.

Unnamed uses standard for total defense and move action to spur mount (DC 15): [roll2]

Attack: [roll3] (edit: a day for low rolls, eh? :smalltongue: )
Damage: [roll4]

By the way, are you sure you mean B-14? Turn after you confirm that.

[darkillini]

nope meant k23* :smallbiggrin:

had been drinking a bit last night when i posted that, my apologizes.
and fudge you take first blood.

as for the RoF feat, i don't have that book, so i can't comment to much.
but if the creatures are tiny they may not stop folks from moving past/ through them.

and be wary of dropping so many feats into just animals with you, they can still all be glitterdusted/ aoe damaged just the same.

basically i feel your gonna have issues with casters.

gahhh off by one point on the attack roll :smallamused:

acutally i just noticed your 23 attack roll dosn't hit endon. mis calculated his ac in pred form with shield its actually 23. so it was a miss his hp is at 2/9 not -6

and shield has now expired.. so hit away at his 19 ac.

[Mysterious_A]

The AC is like a DC to hit something. It's 23, I rolled 23, I "passed". Agreed?

Edit: That also means you hit Unnamed with your attack. He is now at 3 Hp.

[darkillini]

Ya your right.

[Mysterious_A]

Well then, whew, if you took the chance to bolt instead of trying for a glass-kill, Unnamed would now be wondering why his pets are just staring at him while he's trying to tell them something. :smalltongue:

Good game, Dark, it has been both enlightening and amusing.

[darkillini]

indead it has been :smallbiggrin: shoulda saved the death attack for you like i had been planning on it.

baisicly put that on their for the anoyance that is rage claws thats appereing on every arena character.

plus i guess it gives him the ability to summon some nasty vermin with summon natures ally.. (posions... mostly con damage haha)...only costs 3 feats lol.

i don't know if i want to keep rageclaws on him though.. seeing about any decent replacements. or if i just want to switch to another race and drop the feat.

question for you, what round you putting unnamed in?

[Mysterious_A]

Hm, thinking about going for the 2 vs. 2, actually.

Hey if you manage to get Eldon running the way you want him, we could even enter them together. I can distract the opponents with sheer numbers while you go and set them up with a quick, clean kill. :smallbiggrin:

Edit: And it also covers the casting deficiency you spotted on Unnamed quite elegantly, no? :smalltongue:

[darkillini]

i was debating rebuilding jim the slim as an improved DFA and entering him there, but this idea has merit, im going back and forth between law devotion, travel devotion, and rage claw. prolly sticking law devotion on him i think..
with his shield sla on and law devotion. in shifted form grants him a 26 ac, or a 23 ac and +8 to hit.. only gotta worry about spells at that point.


you mentioned a spell casting deficiency? what did i say that brought that up since i cannot remember it.

unless you mean the concentration checks for summon spells.



edit* more think about it more i like the dual druid team. if your up for it il finish this guy up tomorrow or next day.

[Mysterious_A]

I meant how Unnamed has a vulnerability to casters. Which works perfectly since your character is the ultimate caster killer! (even the ones with rageclaws thinking they're safe, as rage doesn't factor in) :smalltongue:

Anyway, I too am intrigued by the idea, so yeah I'm up for it! Just have to withdraw a character from checking and buy Unnamed some slings (which I really really should have already gotten :smalltongue: )

[darkillini]

you also need a name :smallwink: unless your sticking with unnamed hahaha.

also gonna pick up the spontaneus rejuvenation acf on him, all allys within 30 feet gain fast healing x for 3 rounds where x is the spell level sacrificed.

nothing about not being able to use it while shapeshifted (since its not a spell haha)

[Mysterious_A]

I don't know, I'm so used to calling him that I just might! :smalltongue:

Anyway, fast healing sounds good. One thing I'm thinking of: would Unnamed be able to direct Eldon's mount while he's not riding it? If so we'd be like a CR 6 encounter overall. :smallbiggrin:

[darkillini]

haha, i actually was thinking of getting rid of the mount. i ended up not using it at all, and it is a bit of money investment that seems wasted on eldon.


realzied i cant take the rejuv acf, it invalidates my 3 feat chain. since spontaneus cast is a prereq

[darkillini]

if you plan on summoning alot of characters, check out the ashbound feat in the erberon campaign setting book.

prereq is spontaneous summon natures ally ability and summon natures ally creautres(not ice creature sadly) is doubled and those creatures gain a +3 luck bonus on attack rolls.

you could have alot of animals at once haha.

[darkillini]

you still up for the double druid team?

[Mysterious_A]

Oh yeah, definitely. I've been changing into and out of Ashborn for a while, but I think the benefit doesn't outweigh the cost (Max and the ice creatures) as much as I'd like on this particular character...

So I think Unnamed is good to go. One's a nature-bound army of many, one's a one-shot, coldhearted (literally) killer. They fight crime! :smallbiggrin:

[darkillini]

gah im still bouncing(very little on rage claws vrs travel devotion)

mainly on the fact he already eldon already burns his first turn's swift action shifting into pred form. and standard on using his shield ability.

didn't want him getting too vested on swift actions in this case he wouldnt even be able to use travel until round 3, which by then he hopefully has killed some one...


ok rageclaws it is. hes good to go.
