DrK's Age of Worms OOC pt7

[redzimmer]

Spellcraft: (1d20+21)[23]

K: Arcana: (1d20+21)[26]

1. Identify the revulsion spell.

2. Can a binder with lich traits pass through it

3. Can I benignly transpose my violent spellsword chum Z into it?

Edit: Sigh.

[Starbin]

So 200+ damage and I didn’t take one down? All I seemed to do was attract bad vibes from the spellwraver. Damn ...

Ref vs DC26 - (1d20+20)[22]

EDIT: Muther f&$ker ... best save with a potential for no damage seems to equal auto-fail every time.

For the record, I once awesome d20 fail, Lan is at 3 HPs.

[DrK]

Spellcraft: [roll0]

K: Arcana: [roll1]

1. Identify the revulsion spell.

2. Can a binder with lich traits pass through it

3. Can I benignly transpose my violent spellsword chum Z into it?

Edit: Sigh.

1. Its just "repulsion" from the core book.
2. No, it effects any and all creatures
3. Yes, although she wouldn't be able to advance towards it if it walked away again

[redzimmer]

Well what the worst thing that could happen?

[redzimmer]

Could be be fair if we bottled GoatT to give some good heals to LAN?

[RCgothic]

Is Shield Other up?

Good news: Most of those attacks bounce off, Enervation included. Lol.
Bad news: DrK you need to roll a critical threat.

[RCgothic]

Oh, and reflex: (1d20+17)[25] Vs DC26

Bleh. Ok, 23 damage, maybe split with Elkist.

[redzimmer]

Unholy - issat bad for undead traits?

Reflex (1d20+13)[14] going to third-eye that since I have the brooch

So for half on the damage, is it still 17 dies of 6 or is the number of die cut in half?

#acererakproblems I need to determine if first I’m succeptibke to the unholy, then determine if the 50% chain lightning draws from the original 17 damage dice or otherwise.

Luckily my kid’s good at math.

[DrK]

Bad news: DrK you need to roll a critical threat.

She gets a few hits from the spinning spear. So is feeling some pain. But at least after stealing the two Heart of X she is up to all 4 so gets Crit immunity!

Painful hit on Elkist though.

I'm assuming that your shield will reflect that enervation coming your way?

[DrK]

@All

Out of curiosity do any of you folks have access to any of the following systems?

• Starfinder
• Stargate RPG (d20 alderac version)
• Spycraft
• Cyberpunk 2020
• Dark Heresy / Rogue Trader

Musing on running a modern/ future game. Been watching and reading a lot of sci fi/military fiction so thinking it may be something to do.
Especially as likely to have my F2F games banned for the time being.

I don’t sadly. Can you fathom that we have been at this so long technology has caught to where we could’ve done this campaign over Zoom?

BTW Merrick magic missile needs a re-roll

Ah, okay, (5d4+5)[19] for the magic missiles

Be an interesting time zone for some people.
I think RGothic and I are UK, Ghostfoot is like +12 hours and the US folk -6 or so. It is very weird that we have been playing that long!

[RCgothic]

Mirriana isn't immune to crits though and the raging mongoose hits were targeted against her? Yes Mirriana's touch AC is high enough that the Enervation didn't connect.

I have to admit I don't like video sessions.

Sugar that must be a typo
The spear wielding one was full attacking zarina as Zarina had attacked it.

I think we all have access to Starfinder, through the online resources. I have DH/RT (thanks to the good Doctor K. I’m okay with anything.

I’m with RCG - I have enough of a challenge keeping up with PBB games, let alone a video chat game.

And heals would be nice ... next hit, Lan is dead.

[RCgothic]

Painful hit on Elkist though.

Actually I think I can do something about that. I'm counting AC 30 for Elkist. Add 11 for Shield Block and she's laughing!

And heals would be nice ... next hit, Lan is dead.

As if anyone can die of hp damage whilst Mirriana is still standing with a 4th level spell slot available.

[Starbin]

As temporary as it may be, the longer one of us is down, the more of a challenge it will be for you to remain standing.

But the sentiment is appreciated

[redzimmer]

So:

A) Is Merrick suceptible to Unholy damage with Acererak,

B) would it be 50% of 50% of the original damage (thus 5d rounding up from half of 9 rounded up from half of 17) for third-eye dampening purposes.

Does shieldblock stack with shields? That probably will determine what happens!

Eye of dampening wouuld be like that yes. As for the unholy, does Acerak make you immune to negative energy? If so then unholy would pass you by. If negative energy can effect you then it would still do so

[Ghostfoot]

Does shieldblock stack with shields? That probably will determine what happens!

Let's see...AC22 + 5 natural (bite of weretiger) +5 sacred (Mir's protection devotion) = AC32

Shield block +11 = AC43 or AC40 if shield bonus doesn't stack.

Now to sniff around for an extra +1 somewhere...

[redzimmer]

According to Tome of Magic

Undead Healing: Negative energy (such as that of an inflict spell) heals you rather than damaging you. If you are a living creature, positive energy (such as a cure spell) still heals you as well.

So If unholy has the same mechanic as Profane or Inflict and “healed by” is the same mechanic as being immune to, that’s nice. Heals 5 hitpoints damage for Merrick. Otherwise 5 hitpoints damage.

Goes to show you, it takes a half-fiend Demilich to beat a lich.

[RCgothic]

Does shieldblock stack with shields? That probably will determine what happens!

As an immediate action, you can grant an AC bonus to an adjacent ally equal to your shield’s AC bonus + 4.

"an AC bonus" is untyped, so it stacks with other shields. The value of the untyped AC bonus is "shield bonus+4".

[DrK]

Good day for the PCs, the crazed mage is immune to the achain lightning and the shield block takes what would be a most savage blow!

[redzimmer]

If only the bizarre choices I made in real life back in 2014 could benefit me so often.

[Ghostfoot]

So shield block = win. Elkist lives for another round :-) Thanks!

Is Shield Other up?

Oh, and reflex: (1d20+17)[21] Vs DC26

Bleh. Ok, 23 damage, maybe split with Elkist.

Yep, Shield Other is up, so 12 damage to Mirriana and 11 to Elkist.

I don’t sadly. Can you fathom that we have been at this so long technology has caught to where we could’ve done this campaign over Zoom?

I don't have access to any either, other than the publicly available resources.

I've been doing lots of biz over Zoom but not gaming. Other online systems though - a couple of Roll20 games - one out of the US (time zones are a killer) and one with my f2f group from just down the road. It's a different emphasis but still good.

Be an interesting time zone for some people.

It's great. How cool is that?!

...and finally, Ref DC26 vs Chain Lightning (1d20+17)[21]

[RCgothic]

Yep, Shield Other is up, so 12 damage to Mirriana and 11 to Elkist.

In general, if you wind up with a fraction, round down, even if the fraction is one-half or larger.

Exception: Certain rolls, such as damage and hit points, have a minimum of 1.

11 for both.

I'm impressed that you're poor dice rolling is true of all games no matter what type!

I'll have a think, I'm hankering for a game with modern / future vibes.

11 for both.

11 seems so little after all that excitement!

[RCgothic]

Sorry, I'll try and get a post up this weekend. I keep not realising how much time is going by. I don't know where the time goes, honestly.

[RCgothic]

Add 11 for Shield Block and she's laughing!

I forgot that whilst I'm next to Elkist my shield bonus increases by 2. So that's actually +13, not that it was critical in this instance.

[Ghostfoot]

So with this giant death knight, if I 5ft step I still don't threaten it (still 5ft away) but I'm then inside it's threaten zone (with the maul anyway), right?

And to close to melee I have to move 10ft thus triggering an AoO from it?

Either way I'll be adjacent to Mir.
