I don't think there is anything that prevents you from aiming at the last square you saw him with your normal bonuses, but he will at least have 50% concealment

Bayar, it is a scroll of invisibility. It took a caster level check of DC 4, and cost 150 GP. Honestly, its overpowered, but when my opponent has 9 more HP than me, and access to two spells that block magic missile, I need something.

What I mean to say: You cast a spell at me, i get AOO with my unnarmed strike which will definately not hit you, since my strenght is as low as the Marianas Thrench...then I cast a spell at you , only 0 level, and you get an AOO and attempt to hit me with your big morningstar...

Kyeudo
2007-12-26, 03:18 PM
GM Kyeudo

Lesser Orb of Fire is a ranged touch attack, last I checked, so the +4 armor from Mage Armor doesn't apply. Thus, the BAM lands a hit on Nirmian.

The BAM is declared the Winner!

Bigmac
2007-12-26, 03:19 PM
Orbs are ranged TOUCH attacks, so mage armor does not help you. If the concealment check was passed (didn't see where he declared above or below 50) then the spell does indeed hit.


Edit: Look out for Ninjas!

Bayar
2007-12-26, 04:24 PM
wow...now that was a good match...and honestly, I was thinking thee is no way in hell I can land a hit while blind...too many variables...

Mavian
2007-12-26, 05:30 PM
High Ref Mav:

Um... I don't think certain things have been taken into consideration in this ruling.

From Blinded (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/conditionSummary.htm#blinded):

All opponents are considered to have total concealment (50% miss chance) to the blinded character.

From Total Concealment: (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/combatModifiers.htm#totalConcealment)
If you have line of effect to a target but not line of sight he is considered to have total concealment from you. You can’t attack an opponent that has total concealment, though you can attack into a square that you think he occupies

Bayar has to state which square he is attacking, before concealment is even considered. Which means his attack has not hit yet.

Bigmac
2007-12-26, 06:29 PM
Since he's blinded, stating that he attacks where the ray came from is not enough. He can know a general direction, but Bayer will have to state a square specifically that he wants to attack.

Kyeudo
2007-12-26, 11:50 PM
GM Kyeudo

I missed the part about the Blindness. I thought I was dealing with a regular form of concealment.

Looks like the BAM isn't the winner just yet. He needs to guess the correct square in which Nirmian is before we can call it in his favor.

Bayar
2007-12-27, 06:29 AM
oh, damn, that sucks...well I will look at the map...I know he is somewhere behind me... Since I am in V25....I will go with V26.

Morbius
2007-12-27, 07:42 AM
Ref Morbius

What is the listen DC for casting? Is it 0 or -10? If if is -10 he did had a 16 listen roll(I just don't know if it was this turn) and it would be enough to know the square

Bayar
2007-12-27, 08:25 AM
-10 for a battle, but since he needs to speak with a loud voice, I guess you can preety much hear him, unless he uses silent spell...

So I should know from which square he is casting? or the general direction?


Ref Morbius

What is the listen DC for casting? Is it 0 or -10? If if is -10 he did had a 16 listen roll(I just don't know if it was this turn) and it would be enough to know the square

It was in theround when he hit me with 9 HP damage... I should have known the square, but did not....seems that someone didnt take that in account....

KCiemir
2007-12-27, 05:36 PM
OK, so this match seems to have gotten fairly screwed up...

I suggest we call Kyeudo, have him make a definite ruling on what happens (if you heard exactly where I was, if you should have known earlier, et cetera.


That way, this confusion will end, and either you heard me, and I lose, or you didn't, and we keep going. I don't really care if I win at this point, I just want a ruling one way or the other:smallsigh: .

Kyeudo
2007-12-28, 12:20 AM
GM Kyeudo

I believe I previously ruled on the volume of spellcasting. It is a DC 0 check, not DC -10, so the BAM does not hear Nirmian well enough to pinpoint his location. Since he failed to guess the proper location, unless I missed something major, he misses with his Orb of Fire and the match continues.

Bayar
2007-12-28, 05:05 AM
umm...so he is not in v26? then how can he be behind me? if he was say in u26, it would have been spellcasting sounds from the SW, and if he were to cast from w26, it would have been spellcasting sounds from SE...so how CAN he shoot from behind me?

Look, I grew bored of this match...so lets do something different. Lets let luck decide, we each roll a d100, whoever has highest wins. Like: if you get higher, I surrender. If I get higher, you surrender, or get hit by the orb, whatever...k?

KCiemir
2007-12-30, 02:32 AM
I think that gives you a much greater chance of winning, but if you don't want to continue, than there is no reason to draw it out. I accept your offer, and so will roll here. whoever rolls higher wins.

Simple... I thought you were facing west. If it really is a big deal, and you think the outcome is unfair because of it, I am open to suggestions as to how to handle it, given that you already read the spoilers.

Bayar
2008-01-01, 03:06 PM
yeah, that is quite a dilemma...think that match restart is out of the question...

But normally, you can be facing in every direction, that is how LOS works at least...so you should have used it...but whatever...what a High Ref will rule goes....

Kyeudo
2008-01-07, 06:48 PM

Let this be a lesson in why not to use relative prepositions in a system that doesn't define facing.
