Talic - Greenscales (http://www.coyotecode.net/profiler/view.php?id=3565)

All Combatants, please roll initiative.

[Talic]

Reporting in, let's see if this one is free of freak 1% chances.

Init: [roll0]

Still thinking on purchases.

[Mavian]

I don't really have anything to purchase, unless you plan on buying stuff.

Initiative: [roll0]

[Talic]

One Potion of Enlarge Person.

If you have a response purchase, go for it. Otherwise, feel free to kick this match off.

[Mavian]

Ack, thats too much reach... hmm, I will pick up a potion of Spider Climb, and a few more javelins.


Mike - Round 1

Starting in B13 with a potion in hand
Standard Action: Drink Potion
Move Action: B13 to -> F12 on top of the glass, drawing a Javelin in all three hands as I move.

End of Turn

Stats

Hp: 13
Ac: 17
Speed: 40
Position: 12
Javelins: 0/20 used.
Potion: 1/10

[Talic]

Hmm. Mobile SAM battery?

Greenscales, Round 1 (part 2)

Starting In Y13, Guisarme in hand, gauntlet worn.

Move: from Y13 to P13.
Standard: Attack Glass, at intersection M12/N13, attempting to shatter all Glass within 5 feet.

To Hit: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]
-1 damage for hardness.
If successful, a 10x10 section should be broken.

Done.

stats:Location: O13
AC: 15 (+3 Armor, +2 Dex)
HP: 15
In Hand: Gauntlet, Guisarme
Rage: Unused.

EDIT: 1 damage shy of the shatter. That section requires 1 more damage, after hardness, to break.

[Mavian]

I'm going to need to get a ruling on the plausibility of that action... because nowhere in the description of the glass does it say that smashing an intersection breaks all the attached glass.

Mike - Round 2

Move Action: F12 to K7
Standard Action: Ready an Action

Ready an action to move if Greenscales moves, and then performs any other action.


End of Turn:

Stats for Refs:

Hp: 13
Ac: 17
Speed: 40
Position: 12

Potion: 2/10

[Talic]

It's been done in previous matches, in the other glass arena. If you'd prefer, however, I'll be more than happy to restrict it to a 5x5 square (M/N 13, ground level), and we can go from there.

[Mavian]

I'd never seen it, hence why I mentioned it, but if you say its been allowed, then by all means.

Your up

[Talic]

Yeah, Paladin's done it in a couple rounds, if my memory's correct. Once I finish compiling my Rulings Archive, I'll be able to link things like this.

I do recall nobody's challenged the action, to my knowledge, so there was never any official ruling on it. Just that it's been done.

Also, this arena does use panes, whereas the other refers to glass as walls, which could mean differences in the way it's handled.

Will post move soon as I can access the arena map here. Neglected to save the pic and e-mail it to myself prior to leaving for work, sigh.

[chilepepper]

ref chilepepper

I haven't seen the previous use of shattering 4 panes, but unless this was dealt with previously, I'd say 3 of the panes shattered.

The damage should be spread as evenly as possible so if you did 8 damage, each pane would get 2 damage. As is: spread evenly 3 panes would shatter and 1 would be intact with 1 hp left. Let's say upper left is 1 and go clockwise based on attackers perspective. Indicated pane is still intact [roll0].

disclaimer:I'm only an initiate ref (still), so I don't have the authority to make this official. If this doesn't make sense to either of you, you can completely ignore me, or call for a high ref to officiate.

edit: So I'm thinking, how can I get him a copy of the map...? I could drop it in my photobucket, but I bet that's blocked for him too. Hrmmm... Maybe the forum will tell me his email address, eh probably not. Oh well, I give up. Guess I'm done with all the Arena stuff for now, I'll go check my email. Hey, there's an email from Talic...

[Talic]

Personally, after looking at the map's wordings, this map treats each 5x5 section as a seperate pane (doesn't for the other map). Rules don't allow shattering multiple objects with one attack (I didn't notice the difference in wording until Mavian brought it up). I'm willing to scrub the action entirely, as it will likely not have a serious impact on the match.

Yes, I know this is arguing AGAINST my own actions. But it seems like the correct interpretation, to me.

[chilepepper]

ref chilepepper

I'll weigh in on that. I'd say since it is separate panes, you can't target an intersection unless you could normally target an intersection, like with a splash weapon.

[Talic]

Greenscales, Round 2 - Part 2.

What? No Hammer Time?

Move: Draw a vial.
Standard: Ready an Action: Move if MC Hammer ends a movement.

Stats:Location: O13
AC: 15 (+3 Armor, +2 Dex)
HP: 15
In Hand: Gauntlet and Potion of Enlarge, Guisarme
Rage: Unused.

[Mavian]

Quick Ref question, then I'll take my turn.

I have 50% concealment right? Because he has to look through the wall, and then the ceiling to see me, so I should be able to move and hide. Correct?

[theterran]

Ref Terran

@Mavian
You are correct, there are 2 panes between you.

[Mavian]

Nope, no changes for me

Ok, then.

[Mavian]

I drew a little map in paint to maker sure my path was right. I also do not believe you get either cover or concealment from my attack. Also if my first attack misses, I will be changing my move.

In Hand: Gauntlet, Guisarme
Rage: 1/9

[Mavian]

Hmm, do I want to get technical and mention that you never actually placed your hand back on your guisarme, so your not actually wielding it?

Mike - Round 8

Withdraw Y12to Y11 then tumble to Y10, before moving to Q10
Tumble [roll0]

[Talic]

You're absolutely right, which is a good thing. After all, if we're getting technical, the tumble skill is listed as only being usable as part of a move action. :)

No AoO for me. You on the top or the bottom?

[Talic]

Well, if a bit of Formatting will take care of both... Let's get the formatting on.

Greenscales - Round 9.

If you're on top:Move: to T10/U11.
Attack Glass at Q10, with the guisarme.
Attack: [roll0]
Damage (Guisarme): [roll1]

If the glass under you shatters, you should fall. I'm not sure if you'll pass the tumble check, so the damage may be lessened from the fall. That's yours to roll.


If you are on the bottom:Move: to Q11/R12.
Standard: Melee touch attack (grapple): [roll2]
Opposed grapple check: [roll3]
Damage (if successful): [roll4]

Grapple mod is +9 str, +1 BAB, +4 size, +4 Improved Grapple.


Look in whichever spoiler is accurate, and let me know in your next post. I'll be done after this.

[Mavian]

I was on top, and do you really think I'd be silly enough to be on top without a plan for landing?

Immediate Action: Feather Fall

Will post my turn in a bit.

[Talic]

Question. Do people falling through threatened area provoke AoO's?

Edit: and feather fall... You're a cunning one, you are.

EDITEDIT: No matter, I forego any AoO I may or may not get from your fall.

[Mavian]

Mike floats slowly to the ground, "You can't touch this".

He then rolls forward, grabbing a hammer out of his belt and holding it in both hands before swinging it in an upward arcing blow towards Greenscales.


Mike - Round 9
Tumble: [roll0] from Q10 to S10

Attack Roll: [roll1]
Damage: [roll2]

@Edit: Wow, this was a round of horrendous rolls.

End of Turn

[Talic]

That AoO, I will take, as you move out of Q10:

Trip attack: [roll0]
Opposed Str Check: [roll1]
(+9 str, +4 large)

[Mavian]

Strength Check: [roll0]

@Edit: Yep the board roller hates me this round.

[Talic]

I see this. You still have a standard action.

[Mavian]

Standard Actioin will now become... Throw my hammer at you.

Attack: [roll0] - what ever the improved weapon number is
Damage: [roll1]

[Talic]

An attacker who is prone has a -4 penalty on melee attack rolls and cannot use a ranged weapon (except for a crossbow).

Change the standard action?

[Mavian]

Actually, I'm just going to forfeit the match.

[Talic]

Sorry, the attack would've missed (-4 for improvised vs AC 11).

I'm surprised none of the javelins hit, to be honest. The ease that your guy switches from range to melee is awesome, incidentally. Very versatile character.

[Mavian]

Yeah, apperently what ever source of luck I have for the arena, you just cap.

Winning on a 1% chance on the last match, and then about a 10% chance of all my attacks missing in this one.

[Talic]

Sigh. Feather Fall. Would that be the Parachute Pants?

[Mavian]

I make weird characters when I'm sleep deprived, what can I say...

I'm currently working on a guy with 30-foot reach for no apparent reason
