[DnD] Let's Cast Magic Missile!

To put Skills' diplomacy attempt into perspective, the Dungeon Master's guide suggests 33 as a "Hard" skill check for 30th-level characters.

I am going to need to edit

some of these maps


Viva la revolucion!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Nobody has suggested anything else, really.

Although in my campaign notes I call them "The G-Men"

FELIPE NO

Yeah, after Skills' interference and meddling Glock is now at 18 HP and quite conscious, but I don't know if he'll still want to go ahead with his Pyrotechnics plan since he's no longer atop the bell.

PS: also added the enemy defenses to post #190, dunno why I keep slipping up on that.

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

Just go ahead, Skex.

How ya doing, buddy?

Make an edit by tomorrow morning or get hurled at the nearest square adjacent to Rundarr is what

How ya doing, buddy?

Ayup.

LeHah PMed me to let me know he had personal issues that precluded him spending time on the game, and Cette (who would have been next in line) is awfully flaky in terms of uh being on the board with any regularity at all.

At least we got through one whole battle without a roster change.

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

Strictly speaking the rule is that you're not allowed to shift allies without their consent at all.

However, the obvious delay-of-game it would produce to ask permission every single time is prohibitive in a PbP format. So we took a vote on it at one point and basically everyone agreed to dance on each others' puppet strings.

I was speaking idiomatically.

The critical bonus on a weapon applies to all of its attacks, though, not just the basic.

Anyway the solution is that the base attack was supposed to be +10 the whole time and I typoed it. So, mystery solved.

And yes, loading a longbow is a free action so don't sweat it

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

That's... that's almost correct.

You guys have been paying attention

I... I don't know what to say <3

FELIPE NO

Well it seems obvious if you put it that way yeah

Bow range: what he said ^

Vision distance: this isn't really covered by the rules much. For distances more than 50 squares or so to even be plausible we'd have to be operating on a much larger scale than your typical dungeon. For the most part you can assume that if you have line-of-sight to something you can see it. Duergar have the same visual range as any other humanoid, but they see better in the dark.

If you know where an enemy is but can't see him, he has total concealment, which imposes a -5 to hit.

Cannons, psh. We already established there's no sulfur in the area to make powder with.

PS here's your up-to-date map

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

About half a dozen, all incoming on roughly the same trajectory.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

No Many, many windows. It's all underground, what's to look at other than more rocks?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That is an excellent point which I, um

The thing about that is

It's not my fault WoTC's art department never actually read the module

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

It WAS a ritual book of Undead Servitor.

How ya doing, buddy?

If you chumps haven't done something other than stand around idly strategizing by tomorrow it's Beholder Comes Out Of Fucking Nowhere time

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

In fairness half the core Final Fantasy bestiary is the 1E monster manual with the serials filed off, not everybody's going to realize that an Otyugh and NAOCHO are the same thing.

And a readied action only stays "readied" until your next turn.

Additional Spam:
You guys just went along with whatever Zerg suggested so you can blame him when it goes tits-up, admit it

How ya doing, buddy?

They are enemies and technically living things (sort of) so you cannot occupy their squares

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

If this shit works it's going to be Stepladder Hop '09

Most amazing jew boots

Can someone explain to me the persistent notion that going prone is somehow helpful in firing a longbow

Especially now that he threw out a perfectly good longsword in favor of a specialized weapon that sounded fancier.

Well, you can either make a grab attempt and drag them over the abyss, or you can just bull rush them. Both of these things rely heavily on Strength, though. The rules for Grab are a little complex to sum up but read PHB p. 287 if you're curious.

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

It's a strength vs. reflex attack. I gave you their reflex stats already.

DM Secrets: now in the PHB

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

Do you propose, dear Zergrinch, when Acer tells me of his cunning plan (as he was fool enough to do), that I do not immediately act to minimize its impact?

Do you not notice when I herald the impending introduction of reinforcements in the very first round?

Celebrate while you may.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, a tie is a successful hit.

Explain what you mean by "other Defenders"?
