Ha, if I can manage to keep both Thud and Infernal focused on orc dorks for two hours I don't see you being any trouble.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Shhhhh. She's still very sensitive about it.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

"Last seen in the company of a large apartment wolf."

I was speaking idiomatically.

Let them live inside the Apartment Wolf! Reveal that their given names are actually Oscar and Felix! Do it do it do it do it

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I ended up leaving the heavy armor thing by the wayside but here's Cyrus Von Brandt, L7 Storm Sorcerer. Might tweak him a little more once I've seen Rychord's guy but he's pretty adequate for most forms of face-wrecking.

Here's an IPlay4E link if somebody needs to view it on, say, a Mac.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

One tweak that I would suggest, looking at your sheet: if you're going to spend the money on getting a magic symbol, it might be worth having more than one power that actually uses it. Maybe swap Radiant Delirium for something weapon-based and just go with a mundane symbol instead, let me handle the ranged stuff? Maybe spend the resulting cash on a Belt of Vigor, crank Smothas' durability up another notch.

Just suggestions of course.

Zerg, don't worry about making an excel sheet for me. I've got DDI so I can just play from my iplay4E sheet. It has used/unused toggles for everything, so I'm all set unless you think I'll try to be dishonest.

Here's a portrait for Cyrus. Finding a dragonborn paladin should be fairly easy, WoTC's artists love that combo for whatever reason.



Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ok, here's the finalized version of Cyrus, you can grab the dnd4e from the File popup if you need it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Huh. Don't know how that happened, but selling everything off proves you're right.

Ditched the Circlet and Bracers, bought Gauntlets of Blood and 3 L6 Holy Waters, since I can practically hear you pouring undead into the arena now that Rychord's switched from Radiant damage. With free kit that should leave me with 30GP, check me if you want (same link).

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Bludgeoning/Slashing/Piercing damage is a thing of the past, yes. No longer must we carry around a big-ass hammer just in case we encounter an ooze.

Pangalin, as everywhere.

Additional Spam:
Agreeing with Shin's point about interesting terrain also, although in my experience some people will just stand still and mash the attack button even if there are levers marked "explosion" right next to them.

This is basically how we've been doing things, yes. It's the DM's job to go back and fix whatever doesn't make sense in the new immediately-interrupted timeline.

You can always just give Zerg an "if, then" request well in advance but it's hard to be specific enough that it's not going to go off uselessly.

fuck, beaten

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yeah, always add your half-level bonus to attacks.

FELIPE NO

99% sure save-ends effects automatically wear off during a rest, though I can't find the specific rule either.

Zerg, your quick sheet at the top of the thread is a little goofy; Cyrus is wearing cloth armor, not hide.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Christ, the only way Team CyRaks is going to survive Day 1 is if battles 3 and 4 are fought against small groups of sleepy old librarians. Palsied old librarians. With rheumatism.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Um, that depends on what you mean by "bonus damage". Half damage is literally "how much damage would it have done if you hadn't missed, minus half".

Also unyielding faith does 6d6 not 3d6 you goof. Divide the final damage in half, not the dice.

Most amazing jew boots

Well, Unyielding Faith is a Charisma-based attack so you wouldn't add your STR bomus either way, you add your CHA bonus (yes these are both +3 BUT).

But yeah whatever your power card would normally have you add, add it just like normal and then shave half off the total result. Just ignore the fact that you missed up until halving time.

(some specific things like Sneak Attack do NOT apply on a miss but those are mostly corner cases)

How ya doing, buddy?

Yeah, I'll take it. 21 HP for 1 surge is too good to pass up, so I''ll only need one cookie.

As a reward, you get to do what I do all the time. Except you have to do it diagonally.

I like this table, it makes me feel good about my character-building decisions

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

ALL THE CARDS ARE SUBPAR

FELIPE NO

Rychord, it might be worth it to risk an OA if you can get over to that helpless Assassin. Coup-de-grace opportunities don't present themselves every day

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Because I know the very moment I actually tried it, you'd get all rules-lawyery and point out that Lightning Strike has to target a creature.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Zerg I appreciate that you've gone to a significant effort here but did it not occur to you that hanging an entire complex timeline on one incomplete date might result in some inaccuracies.

Where do I even specify Doorman's death beyond "1479", I don't remember that.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
