[Sallera]

I assume you used Resilience, since you're still alive, but that should be mentioned. Anyway, as you don't have LoS at the moment, you can't target that power by sight.

Edit: Ah, just realized you failed your concentration check even with your feat bonus, so I guess the targeting doesn't matter. Doing anything different with your move action after the power fails?

[bobthe6th]

trys to stand up any way, go ahed with the smiteing...
also the resilience is noted in the stats.
wait, he just stabbed the psion, is standing right in front of him... bah 3.5 rules get ridicules at times...

[Sallera]

Well, since I can't see you either, no smiting ensues. Yet, anyway.

Move to C10 (four squares of movement)

Ref Candycorn

@Saiya:Multiple penalties to movement are cumulative, I believe. Squares cost double for being in darkness. That makes the D12 > E11 cost 3 squares of movement, and E11 > D11 cost 2. That puts total movement cost at 5 squares, of your 8, which is over half speed.

Darkness speed limitations are a condition of hampered movement, but it is not technically half-speed (Source: Here (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/environment.htm#darkness)).

Is there a precedent that applies here? Or do you need to amend your movement?

[Sallera]

Refs:No, just forgot to apply the diagonal cost immediately, but it's not important; I'll just move directly there, although I doubt it matters.

[bobthe6th]

Posting I'm still here so the game dosn't forfit me.

[bobthe6th]

Posting I'm still here so the game dosn't forfit me.

Once more proveing my existens...

[Sallera]

There's no need to do that. You'll only be DQd if you don't show up when the match is waiting on you.

[candycorn]

First: Confirming Sallera's statement on Resilience:

All actions you take while visible to your opponent must be announced. The Immediate Action to use resilience is included in that. You don't need to state how many power points you use, but you do need to state that you use the ability, and you need to state if the damage is completely negated, or only partially.

Your opponent cannot look in your stat block, so it needs to be outside of there.

LOS coming shortly.

[candycorn]

@BOB:C12 to C16 is 4 squares. While in the dark, movement costs are doubled. That puts 20 feet of movement above your 30 foot speed (it costs 40 feet of movement to move out of 4 total darkness squares). Please correct.

[bobthe6th]

Just as an FYI, Arena etiquette is not to edit old posts: first to protect yourself from accusations of cheating and second so your opponents are never left mistakenly waiting on turn continuations/revisions.

We generally tolerate making quick, prompt, corrections/additions/comments only if the post is no more than few minutes old and is the most recent in a thread - and even then you may face frowns of quiet disapproval. Except to fix a broken spoiler any post that isn't the most recent, or that someone could have read and be posting a replay to, shouldn't be edited.

LoS

@refs
Bump goes the night.
[roll0]
[roll1]

Bob
No LoS.

Saiya
You hear movement east* of you.
*including south-east and north-east.

[Sallera]

Refs:Could I get a scent result, please? Doubt he's moved out of range if he went around to the east.

[Psionic Dog]

Saiya
Opps. Missed that.
Scent pinpoint in C-10.

Come to think of it, you head a rather loud bass-pitched hum.

[bobthe6th]

I was asked to correct some errors in the posts. one a movement error, and the other to move a bit of information out of the stat block, both on request from ref candy corn. should I repost with the errors corrected in future?

[Sallera]

Yes, just put the revisions in a new post (mark it 'Round N, revised' or somesuch to avoid confusion.)

Saiya Ainsborough, Round 4

Refs:Force Screen, eh? Let's go for the non-attack option then.
Move: To D10.
Standard: Bull rush attempt on C10.

You receive a bull rush attempt from D10.
Opposed Str: [roll0]

Stats:HP 12/12, AC 13 (13, 10)
Active Effects: Hunter's Sense
Maneuvers:
Moment of Perfect Mind

Wolf Fang Strike
SLAs:

Updraft 1/1
Done.

[candycorn]

I believe precedent for all attack options are that total concealment still applies, even to bull rush. Psionic Dog should be able to confirm that.

[Sallera]

Right then. Concealment: [roll0]

[bobthe6th]

1 head or tales? kinda would throw a loop in the idea.
also str check
[roll0]
so if she hit with that 1, bob just fell down a pit into lava... again. he really is starting to get to know the lava well, its like a nice mud bath for the second his psionic powers hold up, then death...

[Sallera]

Low is always a miss, so you're still up. Go ahead.

[bobthe6th]

so wait, you missed and were charging... at a cliff? no inertia? did you just fail to find the random psion that may or may not have been in the space? did the blundering in any way cause the psion to notice you were there?

[Sallera]

It counts as an attack, so even though it missed, it revealed Saiya's location. As for the order of events, yes, a bull rush involves entering the space and then attempting to push the target. Since it missed, no target was found, and since it failed Saiya returned to his original location, as he can't occupy the same space as bob at end of movement.
