[DnD] Let's Cast Magic Missile!

Assuming the next group of zombies will be hilariously large, am I reading my staff of expansion power right in thinking it works on your attack the following turn to when you use it? So in one turn I power it up and then the next turn fire off the biggest acid arrow or flame burst evar?

And in the case of acid arrow, would just the splash burst be expanded (If at all)?

How ya doing, buddy?

Yeah, I did think about that but I wanted to post before I left work and if you kill one then the doors fly open, it's rather a waste of a burst attack. You guys'll be fine I'm sure and it's not like the barricades have slowed the zombies down much so far is it?

How ya doing, buddy?

Or, you know, there's a perfectly good longbow lying unused on the floor.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I THINK HE'S STRATEGERIZING

FELIPE NO

I'm guessing there's no rules for pop-up ranged attacks from total cover right and as such, Bob has to stand up to avoid the aiming penalty and can't fall over again afterwards to stay out of line of sight?

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

I thought as much, I just wasn't sure if falling over couldn't be a free action.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

In which case, Bob's battle tactics just got a lot more Gears of War.

How ya doing, buddy?

Much as I love complicated plans, I'll stick to just running away.

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

Is that a dozen or so zombies by Bob's reckoning or are there actually 12 more zombies coming?

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

I do have an action point right? I hope so, it makes for a better entry *sniggers*.

I was speaking idiomatically.

You could make a D7. Just get a D14 and double up on the numbers.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yeah, I'm fucked if I'm doing my own rolls. I've got to the point where I vaguely understand the rules but I'd prefer to leave the details to Pang. The only reason I ever check my character sheet is to see what powers I've not used yet.

FELIPE NO

I'm planning on bumping up my constitution and either wisdom or intelligence, I forget which is an odd number currently and would increase a modifier. I'm also planning to retrain my diplomacy for perception training and taking that feat that gives you more hitpoints.

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

Really? I could have sworn perception was a wizard skill. Oh well, insight will do and is certainly more fitting to his character than diplomacy. The elf agility thing is tempting but Bob is just a touch too fragile at the moment. Also, you put that ranger skill on there that Bob's not strong enough to use. Other than that, nice wiki page.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hawkeye, you can't make two move actions and a standard in one turn, again.

What with Brady freezing things and you learning my fireball spell, you guys are basically just getting prepared to make do without me aren't you.

I hope this adventure requires lots of Jedi mind tricks or Bob's going to sleep with one eye open from now on.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

My romantic subplots are certainly fairly unique.

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

Can I have those boots please? It would make my Rainbow-esque pop-up attacks that much easier if I could move between cover whilst doing them (i.e. minor to stand up, move, attack, fall over for free).

How ya doing, buddy?

Can we not take Ewan with us into the cave to use as a canary and search for traps for us?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Being used to search for traps tends to reduce one's life expectancy rather. If there are any traps down there, I'm pretty sure we'll have room for another PC by the time we come back out.

I guess we know who'll be leading the charge against the slimey zombies from now on then...

Edit: I rolled a dice for my stealth check but obviously I have no idea what modifiers you might want to apply to that. Do you want us to press the roll button for deliberate skill checks or is that more of a behind-the-screen thing?

For those of us who haven't memorised the rulebook, a phantom chasm is what exactly? The players handbook only lists phantom steeds.

FELIPE NO

Just checking it wasn't an illusory hole which is made of corrosive acid or anything.

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

There is that but if Ewan doesn't go and tell the villagers we cleared the village, they'll never come back and instead of a couple of acres of farmland we'll have a whole village worth.

I appreciate that the cleric and paladin might have some moral objections to this but Bob always wanted to be a robber baron.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Man, Deni and lurker get 25 xp each for standing at the top of the hole pretending to look busy?

How ya doing, buddy?

I'll have you know those were valid tactical flanking manouvers.

There seem to be a lot of doors in this secret room. Maybe one of our religious personages would be the best to talk to the ghost? I assume you'll want to do some sort of laying the body to rest nonsense and it has been ages since anyone fell in a pit trap...

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