    Default Test of Spite Qualification Olo vs Phoenix

    Here we go...

    Preferences on map and buff rounds?

  2. - Top - End - #2

    Default Re: Test of Spite Qualification Olo vs Phoenix

    No preferences on map, but Rounds? I'd like all days + 2 rounds at least. I'm not picky on whether or not summoning's allowed, but I'd like at least all day + 2 rounds. I wouldn't say no to 3 rounds, either.

    Observers only:

    For this qualifier, my spell list will be altered as follows:

    Wall of stone and doomtide are each replaced by Mass Sanctuary.
    Protection from Good: Down from 3 to 1.
    Sanctuary: Up from 2 to 4.

    I'm in the Bottom half.

    And you'll probably detect me, I'm only invisible.

    Well I have no detection modes, but I do have a Zone of Revelation that happens to cover most of the arena. Within it, invisible, ethereal, and shadow plane creatures lose their invisible, ethereal, or on the shadow plane status.

    If you can see F2, you have LOS to me.

    For the first attack, I need you to make 4 will saves. The first two are DC 21. The last two are DC 25.

    If those pass, I'll need you to make any Spell resistance checks your attacks require.

    Starts at F5-G6, and charges.

    Claw: (1d20+15)[16] miss
    If Hit: (1d6+7)[9] damage

    If Crit: (1d6+7)[12]
    Mirror image miss chance: (1d8)[3] miss
    Mirror image miss chance: (1d7)[6]
    (use whichever corresponds to how many are left)

    Bite: (1d20+9)[28]
    If Hit: (1d8+3)[9] damage
    If threat: (1d20+9)[22]
    If Crit: (1d8+3)[10]
    Mirror image miss chance: (1d8)[6]
    Mirror image miss chance: (1d7)[6] miss
    Mirror image miss chance: (1d6)[2]

    Rake: (1d20+14)[16] (does 16 hit?)
    If Hit: (1d6+3)[7] damage
    If threat: (1d20+9)[28]
    If Crit: (1d6+3)[7]
    Mirror image miss chance: (1d8)[8]
    Mirror image miss chance: (1d7)[7]

    Mirror image miss chance: (1d6)[5] miss
    Mirror image miss chance: (1d5)[5]
    (use whichever corresponds to how many are left)

    Rake: (1d20+14)[29]
    If Hit: (1d6+3)[6] damage
    If threat: (1d20+9)[26]
    If Crit: (1d6+3)[4]
    Mirror image miss chance: (1d8)[2]
    Mirror image miss chance: (1d7)[7]
    Mirror image miss chance: (1d6)[1]

    Mirror image miss chance: (1d5)[5] miss
    Mirror image miss chance: (1d4)[2]
    (use whichever corresponds to how many are left)

    On all mirror image rolls, 1 is considered to be you, any other result is a mirror image.

    All attacks miss the images.

    Can I use Spellcraft on your SLA?

    Is your turn now over?

    SLA's have no identifiable components. Do you have something to detect the activation of a SLA?

    Note: Mirror images typically do not benefit from most AC boosting bonuses a character has. A 29 misses?

    Summon Monster can't be quickened unless it has its casting time reduced to a full-round action or less. Do you have the ability to do that?

    Erm...I thought my guy was qualified...His name is Herodotus, he's a Sorcerer 2/Warlock 1/Eldritch Theurge 10.

    If it turns out that I'm not qualified, I will simply not advance if I win. Is that an acceptable agreement?

    From the text of Quicken spell metamagic in the SRD:

    Casting a quickened spell is an swift action. You can perform another action, even casting another spell, in the same round as you cast a quickened spell. You may cast only one quickened spell per round. A spell whose casting time is more than 1 full round action cannot be quickened. A quickened spell uses up a spell slot four levels higher than the spell’s actual level. Casting a quickened spell doesn’t provoke an attack of opportunity.
    From the text on casting times:
    A spell that takes 1 round to cast is a full-round action. It comes into effect just before the beginning of your turn in the round after you began casting the spell. You then act normally after the spell is completed.
    The casting time is not more than one full round action.


    My guy has not been through the qualification process, but he is in there.

    EDIT: Wait, you tell me not to theurge this guy, and then you run me against a theurge? I call shenanigans!

    Theurges typically suck. I was trying to help you

    I just pulled out a random character that would likely be a challenge. Herodotus has had about 6 different fights and is a well rounded caster with several tricks up his sleeve.

    Claudius, back me up here? True Necromancers suck, right?

    It appears you are correct. I apologize.


    Since Phoenix at least isn't approved, this'll be an exhibition unless you guys want to put it on hold until the characters are both approved.

    I'm willing to pause this.

    Olo, if you really wanted to do me a favor, you'd have put me against some spiked chain tripper, or somesuch. That way, my 4 sanctuary effects would have had a shot.

    Well, I hadn't seen anything of your character besides the basic build...

    Claudius: I'm not really sure. He did spark a few debates on the ToS chat rooms though, that might be where you heard of him...

    I am willing to put this on hold until Phoenix is checked...in all actuality, I'm not likely to win and I don't particularly intend to continue with this guy anyway...I just wanted to get Phoenix qualified and test out his character at the same time.

    Also, the casting time is "one full round action" plus the time for other people to take their turns. You spend a full round action on your turn, but you aren't done casting yet.

    It's not stacking. Stacking is for bonuses and penalties. These aren't. This would be more similar to redundant effects. Further, these are not at different strengths. Same strength.

    Save 1: If pass, unaffected by spell.
    There's a redundant spell, which now goes into effect.
    Save 2: If pass, unaffected by spell.
    There's a redundant spell, which now goes into effect.

    If functions more closely like 2 charm persons on a creature. They still must save against both, and if both are failed, both must be removed to end the charms. The effect of this spell is "prevent someone from attacking".

    If saves are made, the effect is not incurred.

    Olo, could you resubmit Herodotus to the sheet repository? Even if he's been checked already, I'm pretty sure Doc Roc wants a record of all the characters.

    If he has been checked before, I imagine I won't find any or at least many errors, so this might not take very long for you.

    It doesn't mention bonus. It mentions effect, which is far more broad. It's the same effect in different strengths. The effect is "people trying to attack you must roll a will save". The different strengths are "the will save for one spell is higher than the others".

    Note that this is a seperate category from bonuses.

    The bonuses or penalties from two different spells stack if the modifiers are of different types. A bonus that isn’t named stacks with any bonus.

    Same Effect More than Once in Different Strengths

    In cases when two or more identical spells are operating in the same area or on the same target, but at different strengths, only the best one applies.
    Are four castings of sanctuary "two or more identical spells"? Yes.
    Are they of different strengths? The DC for them varies, so yes.
    Therefore, only the best sanctuary applies.

    Charm monster is covered under "multiple mental control effects".
