As You Command OOC

[JbeJ275]

There was a chance for a python reference, couldn't help myself. I tried to be a bit imprecise about the time, hope that's okay. Let me know if it went too far. Cypher isn't using any extra resources with those castings.

No the reference is very fitting, I like itTime impresion is OK, we'll assume you can count out how far away they are precisely enough for this sort of general thing.

Darius Vibrtrar
I might be missing something obvious but how are you casting Empowered Fireball? That's a fifth level spell.

[Darius Vibrtrar]

Sorry, I forgot to refresh the ooc page.

Yes, I am using one of my 3 daily empower spells at no cost, from praying to Ravanna, to empower my fire ball in my readied action.

Is the confusion about no cost? Every reading I've seen on the blood quickening, treats them like the sudden mrtamagic feats from complete minitures. If that's not your reading, i can edit out the extra 13 damage and use it like a regular empower spell in the future.

I'll make sure to include that in prepatory posts in the future.

Also, its my feat spell thematics that allows me to make spells look like cats

[Dusk Raven]

Would it be all right if I cast my own preparatory spell (the aforementioned Shield of Faith) before initiative? I'd have cast it once it became obvious the pegasi would reach us in a matter of rounds.

To be fair I haven't played or DM'd for a spellscale before. For now I'm going to rule it as you don't need the feat but you still need a higher level spell slot but if you can show me any of those rulings with the logic behind them I'd be happy to reconsider.

The cats is absolutely great. I love it.

That's A OK.

[Darius Vibrtrar]

Alright, edits made to the damage spoiler

[JbeJ275]

Great, it is now your guys turns again for anyone who can do anything this range, or wants to get in the air and moving towards them.

[Waistcoatwill]

Cypher hastes everyone and flies up ready to intercept. Hopefully these honourable knights will respect him challenging one of their number...

He also casts shield. If it looks like they can get to him with a charge this round he uses Cunning Defence for 1 IP.

Oof lots of moving parts in this build but I'm having a great time so far!

I almost forgot to mention knowledge devotion, see previous sentence!

Knowledge local for the knights/other crew of this fleet (as humanoids) and Arcana for the Pegasi (magic beasts). Using my Collector of Stories skill trick for the humanoids.

Local (1d20+21)[40]
Arcana (1d20+16)[28]

Wow, good roll for the humanoids (+5 to attack and damage) and +3 vs magic beasts.

[JbeJ275]

Forgot a roll (1d20+9)[14]

EDIT: OK, turn is done. You guys are up.

[Darius Vibrtrar]

how high up are the remainging pegasi?

[JbeJ275]

50 or 60 feet up.

[Darius Vibrtrar]

Sharkan:.... im gonna push him in the water

[Waistcoatwill]

Ha, looks like we had similar thoughts about that rider!

@MrAbdiel

Sorry, I'm just trying to keep track of some stuff. Where is the 6d6 coming from on your attack? And you have a charging lance on your sheet, is that the same thing as valarous or another thing, which I can't currently find?

Also some rolls: [roll]1d20+11[/rol] for (1d8+4)[11]
[roll]1d20+7[/rol] for (1d6+4)[6]

Autofail
(1d20+7)[17] for (1d6+4)[10]

(1d20+5)[25] (1d20+3)[23]

[JbeJ275]

And trying some of those mistyped rolls again

(1d20+11)[25] for (1d8+4)[11]
(1d20+7)[12]

I'm afraid I don't know what valorous does on a weapon, but charging (in the MIC) is an enchantment that means a mounted charge attack with the weapon deals an extra 2d6 damage. Tripled for use of a lance with the mounted combatant feat is 6d6.

It feels big, but it's the tradeoff the weapon takes for being so specifically useful. Only when mounted, only on a successful charge; and building for charging, I'm forgoing the opportunity to use multiple attacks with a full attack actions (unless I can cheesilly get Lion's Charge from somewhere). Mounted charging is really Lamorak's golden situation!

[JbeJ275]

Ah. OK Valorous adds another doubling. So with a spirited charge wielding a valorous lance you do 4* your damage. But yeah that all checks out thank you. Post should be up soon.

...Daaaym. Where's valorous? Book of Exalted Deeds?

[JbeJ275]

...Daaaym. Where's valorous? Book of Exalted Deeds?

It's actually from Unapproachable East. I first found it when I was making a charachter of my own, a skylord which is a prestige class, and one I'm rather fond of, from BoED.

[MrAbdiel]

I have just learned, with great sadness, that all d6's added to damage are not doubled with doublings. This makes me sad.

I do not do the 6d6 damage, but merely (2d6)[10] damage. Wup wah.

Which, hilariously, is 1 more damage than I rolled on the 6d6. Honest pays off again?

[JbeJ275]

I forgot this one, there's a lot to keep track of in a battle like this: (1d20+11)[30] for (1d8+4)[11]

[MrAbdiel]

We're doing our best to thin them out for you, buddy. :) But plz stop rolling like that

[MrAbdiel]

Fouled up Typho's damage roll. (1d8+7)[14].

[Waistcoatwill]

The knightshould provoke an attack of opportunity from Cypher as he leaves his 10ft reach. Cypher will try to trip him off the pegasus.

Touch attack to hit. (1d20+17)[26]

Trip check Opposed by abride check (1d20+12)[30]

Cypher will get a free attack if he unseats the rider.

[Dusk Raven]

Attack of Opportunity: (1d20+14)[33]
Damage: (1d6+6)[9]

What was the result of Maiabel's Sapphire Nightmare Blade?

[Dusk Raven]

Also, rolling to confirm crit: (1d20+14)[23]
+damage (not sure if you want to simply double the initial roll or have me roll a second time, but here goes) (1d6+6)[11]
Man, if only I had Deadly Defense active...

[JbeJ275]

Trip check Opposed by abride check [roll1]

Ah. You should have made that clearer. When you said you moved behind him I didn’t realise you were remaining inside the reach.

Also, rolling to confirm crit: [roll0]
+damage (not sure if you want to simply double the initial roll or have me roll a second time, but here goes) [roll1]

Yeah he was rendered flat footed against the relevant attack and took the damage.

[Darius Vibrtrar]

Clarification,

Did the 29 paw attack miss?

Or did he pass the reflex save?

Or was the bull rush attempt of 10 insufficient?

And which of those attack rolls are against sharkan?

[JbeJ275]

He passed the reflex save.

The one against Sharkan missed him.

[Darius Vibrtrar]

okay, good he still hit the guy, just dodged the Bull Rush

[Waistcoatwill]

Fair play. I'll get that coward next time. How far away is he from Cypher now?

How's this for a brain fart? I originally typed "staying just close enough to threaten both with his blade" and then for some reason decided that that was far too clear and changed it to "menace". Better luck next time Cypher!

(1d100)[74]

Edit: woo for miss chances. I made a guess about distances, let me know if I'm way off!
