[DnD] D&D Arena Signups and Discussion

Here I was thinking the encounter was going well, all things considered.

Edit: Yeah, I guess when I look at it while keeping in mind that we have two more fights to go, rheumatismed old librarians sounds about right.

Uh, Zerg, shouldn't the dragon have taken 6 damage from my shield of virtuous contradiction?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Once more with a question: do attacks that deal half damage in case of a miss also do half the bonus damage?

Oh boy... and am I right in thinking I may have been neglecting to add my weapon's enhancement bonus to my attacks? As in, am I supposed to do that?

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

Oh. I guess I should go redact that. Or not, depending on what Zerg prefers. Zerg?

And what I meant was my ability bonus (+3 Str damage) and my weapon's enhancement, if that is supposed to be added to attacks. I just noticed that I wasn't adding it when I got to looking at the bottom of my power cards and I noticed that it said (x)d6+5 instead of +3 as it would be if I only added the strength bonus.

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

I guess I'll try my luck with the 6d6. Also, my neglecting to add the weapon enhancement bonus means my arcing smite Shoud have done 14 damage to the dragon instead of 12. Sorry about that.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, I just looked at the effect part when I was calculating damage, so that's why I wasn't adding it up right. It should help to give us a bit more of a chance to take this thing down. If we ever bloody it first.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Message for Pang: will you be using a surge from my Resurgent Smite or do you prefer to keep it for later?

I ask because then I could take two of the three surges Zerg is giving us and you would only need one, otherwise I'll leave two for you and just take one for myself.

FELIPE NO

Oh cool, I'll just melee basic attack 'til the end of the fight then.

Seriously, if by strange things you mean suddenly we're fighting SrBehemoth the revival in tube form, I might just do that.

How ya doing, buddy?

Does it cost me an action?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Done!

And I got the luckiest number known to man! Now it has to be good.

How ya doing, buddy?

Is this card a one time use type thing?

I'm guessing that it is.

Great job on the sheets Zerg!

I have only one little question, and it is with regards to Divine Sanction. In the sheet you wrote that the enemy also takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls on top of the damage. However, I don't recall seeing the penalty mentioned in the DS description. Is it simply a characteristic that applies to all marks, or did you misread the description?

Most amazing jew boots

I was going to mention the reflavoring of the powers, it just slipped my mind. I don't mind at all, really, in fact it fits the character quite well.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

So Pang, what do we do with these prizes? The belt sounds ok, though I imagine we'd be better off selling it at the end of the day (2600 GP is quite a bit). I'd like to wear it 'til then, if you don't mind.

As for the traps, I'm liking the "Rock Falls, Someone Dies" as much for the concept as for the usefulness, though we'd have to somehow immobilize the target if it's to be of any worth.

Your thoughts?

FELIPE NO

See, I had other options besides melee basic attack.

The damage is exactly the same, but we don't need to mention that, do we?

Also, I wasn't completely certain which of the assassins was helpless, as I couldn't find mention of it in the other thread. Just know that I wish to charge to the space that'll keep me closest to Von Brandt, I have a feeling he may be in need of medical assistance in the near future.

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

And here I was thinking the coup de grâce was an auto hit.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'll use the tokens if it is applicable in this situation.

And from what I read, slaying outright doesn't sound all that impossible. The possibilities are pretty wide if you consider any kind of damage dealer versus any kind of monster. Knocking out an enemy and then having someone with a high damage output attack it doesn't sound impossible to me if the right skills are used.

J15 is fine.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oy Zerg, shouldn't Reynolds have taken 6 Necrotic damage from my sanction for attacking Von B, or is he somehow immune to it?

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

I have a mildly strange question.

If my intention with the wine was to keep some in my mouth and then spit it on one of our adversaries, what kind of action would that be? And what would the effects of the "attack" be?

Also, sorry about misreading the belt's powers.

If you threw the bottle (basically a melee ranged attack with an improvised weapon), and depending on the way you flavor it, I may allow the ongoing damage Hawkeye described

P.S. No worries about that belt thing. You don't need to apologize or anything

I did take a drink of it, but I didn't say I was chugging the whole bottle down!

I would have to move away to actually use it as a ranged attack though, right? I was imagining using it as a sort of surprise before the flail of doom came down, sort of as a 1-2 punch kind of thing, since, you know, he did go hiding in his cloak for a while.

But as a ranged attack, I'm not sure how I'll be able to make effective use of it really, seeing that I already have the gloves to dish out ranged pain.

What if I used my flint & steel from my adventurer's kit to make a spark as I spit it out?

All this is, of course, contingent on Cyrus being able to get out of the rock's way on his turn. If he doesn't pull that off, I may have to pull him out of it on my turn.

In all seriousness though I was just looking for a way to get my hit ratio up a bit, seeing that it's been pretty atrocious so far. This should hopefully do the trick, at least temporarily. Good job on the attack write-ups by the way.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yeah, if we survive this fight I'll be looking into options to try and improve that. I'll spend some more time looking into the character builder to weigh my options. I really like the damage of the flail when it does hit.

Beegraks being drunk right now sounds like it would be his undoing. The one thing he does have going for him that's kept him from dying so far is his rather ridiculous combination of high AC and HP.

What the hell, he's drunk now, that was his decision, and I'll just roll my saves at the end of each turn so as to not leave too big a window for your goons to knock him out.

FELIPE NO

I might as well ask the question here:

Did Pang's attack do the last thug in? I'm all for overkill (which is the only time I roll crits, apparently), but I'd rather see the day end so we can get on to making our characters bigger, faster, stronger, and just generally more vile.

While I'm on the subject, Pang, did you have any purchases in mind before we start the next round?

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

Hell, are you kidding me? A rhinoceros? Beegraks is gonna have one hell of a time with that thing.

The other two sound way too smart for that idiot anyway. And, you know, the horn. I'm not big into symbolism, but that's right up the dragonborn's alley.

Most amazing jew boots

I'll admit that I haven't really read the rules on mounts, so I'll go ahead and read that as soon as I get the chance to decide whether or not that feat is going to be worth it. The rhinoceros would still get +12 vs. AC on his Gore attack, which is better than what Beegraks can muster under normal circumstances. The Crushing Charge could be useful though... : pensive :

There's nowhere I can't reach.
