All Combatants, please roll initiative.

[SoD]

Grix, pre-round

[roll0]

Ready.

[Morbius]

Errrr.... I see some problems with your sheet...

1st you can only retrain something when you gain a level
2nd as Force screen; Prescience, Offensive and Thicken Skin have a range of personal their tatoos price is doubled (100GP each),

I will wait you to fix that before I declare my buyings and spells.

[roll0]

[SoD]

Bugger, I'll just get onto that...they'll be finished some time in the next 24 hours. Sorry.

[SoD]

My appologies about the wait, internet troubles. It'll be done later tonight, after Doctor Who.

My appologies about the wait, internet troubles. It'll be done later tonight, after Doctor Who.

Good you are back, I was really starting to be afraid that my only fight for the gold medal would be in the finals against a shirtless commoner

[SoD]

I've fixed the sheet: canceled the retraining (+50 gp), canceled one tattoo (+50 gp), and kept the other two (-100 gp). I must admit, however, that I can't find the bit saying that for Psionic Tattooes a range of 'personal' is double cost. Would you care to post a link if it's on the SRD? Or a page number? It's not that I'm doubting you, or trying to accuse you, I'd just like it for future reference (sorry about spelling it out, but I feel bad when I accidentally offend people I've never met).

[Morbius]

Here (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/items/creatingPsionicItems.htm) is what you are looking for



Creating Psionic Tattoos
(...)
Powers with a range of personal can be made into psionic tattoos, but they cost double the price of standard psionic tattoos. (...)





Before I actually thought they were like potions and could not even be made but Kyuedo showed me this me (psionics is not my area)

Hold up a sec, need some clarification.

Grix:As I see it, your turns this round were as follows:

Start of Match: M25, potion of mage armor, and heavy crossbow in hand.
Round 1) Drink potion of mage armor, Open.

Round 2) Tap tattoo. Draw potion (mage armor, think you meant shield of faith). Think you also meant to drop the empty vial.

Round 3) Move to G22. Drink potion.

Round 4) Drink potion of force screen (How did you draw this?)
Standard action: Ready action.

Last round, how did you get the potion in hand?

Match on hold, pending response.

[SoD]

Sorry, my appologies. That should've been drawing potion. I think I shouldn't post in the arena when lacking sleep...and yeah, the second mage armour should've been sheild of faith. I'll undrink the potion, and have it drawn instead. And yeah, vials were being dropped. Sorry, I'll mention that from here on in.

[SoD]

No, not your turn. I was just clearing up something for the refs, which was partially mistakes in the battle stats. I just need a ref to A-OK it.

SoDFirst of all, drawing the potion instead of illegally drinking it is fine. However, is there a typo in your stats? Bolding by me. Just clarify what buffs and what's in hand and then get the match going again.

Waiting on SoD to clarify something else, then the match can get under way again with whomever's turn it is.

[SoD]

Refs: OK, here we go. AC:

Original: 21 (+5 dex, +1 size, +1 nat, +4 wis). Touch: 20, Flat Footed: 16.
First Round (Add Mage Armour): 25 (+4 armour, +5 dex, +1 size, +1 nat, +4 wis). Touch: 20, Flat Footed: 20.
Second Round (Add Thicken Skin, Draw Sheild of Faith): 26 (+4 armour, +5 dex, +1 size, +2 nat, +4 wis). Touch: 20, Flat Footed: 21.
Third Round: (Add Sheild of Faith, move): 29 (+4 armour, +5 dex, +1 size, +2 nat, +4 wis, +2 deflec, +1 dodge). Touch: 23, Flat Footed: 22.
Fourth Round: (Draw Potion of Reduce Person, ready action): 29 (+4 armour, +5 dex, +1 size, +2 nat, +4 wis, +2 deflec, +1 dodge). Touch: 23, Flat Footed: 22.

Oh, and the potion I illegally drew? My bad, it was a tattoo. And from here on, I'm just declaring my dodge constantly.

Right, I think that clears everything up?

[chilepepper]

refsAfter reviewing what was posted, SoD's recap of intended action seems in line.

GrixThat seems inline with your intentions. Accepted. Please be more careful in the future.

Sorry, I got the questions sorted out, but didn't give a LoS before Grix's round 5 turn. Sooooo, we're backing up to the middle/end of Morbius's turn in round 4.

LoS is established.

Grix is in G22.
Morbius's torso pops up over the wall. He he is large and you can extrapolate that his base occupies H7/I8/+15'.

Grix has a readied action.

[Morbius]

nothing to see here

First, aoO

[roll0]
[roll1]

Also two things...
How are you moving 40 feet if monks only gain fast movement at level 3?
Please don't edit your sheet during a match.

[Morbius]

You know something? I will just post my move... if you have quick trait and I am simply not seeing it we just have to adjust your HP if you don't it would not affect the outcome anyway.

Also I believe you didn't bother to see my last match or else you would have brough more weapons with, (the problem is that you are already carring a medium load as it is but oh well) or even purshased a potion of reduce person...

I would prefer not to do this but as it seems you won't hold still...

Morbius round 7 - 2nd to act

Change law devotion to attack

Morbius moves to L21/M22 and attempts to sunder your crossbow

[SoD]

As you said, the quick trait gives me the extra speed, and my reasoning for editing the sheet as we go is only to show the bits and bobs from the potions/tattoos. I've stuffed up too many times, so I'm keeping the changes there as well. But now I look over my sheet...I can't find any mention of the quick trait, nor a penalty for it...not sure how I slipped that one through the refchecks...

Anyway, due to a mixture of weaponlessness, embarasment for so many mistakes, and confusion about the accidental cheating (40 foot land speed), I think I should throw in the towel and admit defeat...

[Morbius]

Everyone makes mistakes (they actually have my picture in the wikipedia's D&D mistakes section)
In my previous match I attempted to hover, fly in a straight up angle, etc. Before I discovered theat my fly manuvearability was not perfect ¬¬(ie everything was illegal moves)... then I won by DQ and no rewind was needed.

A pity I had to sunder your weapon, but I did not had enought actions to disarm you and pick up your weapon and as i would let the 40 speed fly as long as you adjusted your HP it would be dificult for me to keep up with you.

Morbius is the winner.
