[DnD] D&D Arena Signups and Discussion

When you attack again, try to come at him from the opposite side to me for the flanking bonus. I'm standing directly to the west of him now.

Take all the cash you want mate. All I want is a chariot with spikey wheels.

I don't actually have the character builder yet but I'm happy to get it if you point me in the right direction.

I sincerely hope the rules for chariot mounted combat are hilariously complicated.

Additional Spam:
I'm guessing it's in Pang's thread, don't be so lazy, Shin.

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

So there's no actual link to the full version of the character builder, could you PM me the details?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Ah, I see. I'll get on that tomorrow then. And yeah, sell that spear thing, I don't see myself using it ever.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

But if I'm in melee range things have gone horribly wrong somewhere and I've got a big wolf for that kind of thing

How ya doing, buddy?

Right, I'm taking Shielding Word and Cure Serious Wounds.

Oh and I'll buy some dwarven finemail too cheers.

I'm tempted to get a learning crossbow too but do I need to reload my crossbow if I use a ranged power?

Additional Spam:
I might get a belt of vigour too if our money stretches that far.

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

I forgot about that. I'll take the armour definitely but the rest I'm not so bothered about if you want to grab something flamey or acidy.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's right there in the builder for me mate. Still, I'll hang on to what I've got for now. I will take the belt of vigour though as we're so rich at the moment and lurks can spend the rest of the dough flaming up her attacks.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Also, I want to trade in my symbol of shared healing for a hearth of Boldrei (Who Ivory worships btw). And definitely buying a chariot.

I've attached my character builder file, cunningly disguised as an excel file so I can attach it. Couldn't work out how to export to pdf.

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

Ah, cool, I'll take Comrades' Succour as my ritual please mate.

Lurks, I've bought two dragonfire tars which are single target, ongoing fire damage deals and a clockwork bomb which is a burst effect fire attack with a timer. The Dragonfire stuff is 125gp each for lvl 8 and the bomb 160gp for lvl 9. Another useful option would be Fire Blastpatch which is essentially a mine that triggers when something steps on it. 160gp for each of those at lvl 9. Buy what equipment you want and we'll blow the rest on explosives. Acidic fire might help too, a burst fire attack with ongoing acid damage for 200gp each at lvl 10.

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

I think we should buy a diverse range of elemental explosives just in case to be honest. If I'd have known you could get landmines in DnD I'd have played a sapper.

How ya doing, buddy?

Level 7 Elixir's of Dragonbreath are 100gp each, I reckon 4 of those would be enough for our immediate needs, 2 fire, 2 acid. I think we want four level 10 Acidic Fires for 200gp each, four level 9 fire blastpatches for 160gp each, four level nine clockwork bombs at 160gp each and two level 8 dragonfire tars at 125gp each, a total of (400+800+640+640+250) 2,730gp. That leaves us 1,228gp which we could spend on getting a couple of caustic whetstones (200gp each) so our weapons can do acid damage then either save the change or if you're allowed to buy boons, get you Kord's Mighty Strength.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I figured lobbing grenades from a movin chariot would be hilarious no matter what we came up against to be honest. In Pang's game we never had any money for buying bombs and shit so I'm making up for it now.

Fuck defence, blowing shit up is the way forward and so many items in DnD seem basically gay and pointless. A tiny bonus to some defences compared with a bunch of landmines? No contest really.

So is a boon something you can buy then?

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

Tattoos are hugely under-powered for the price they cost. You need to shell out hundreds of thousands for even a hint of a useful benefit.

Fuck it, we'll have horseshoes of speed, for our wolf.

<_<

>_>

I'll update the main thread and we can crack on.

I'm getting quite good at it now I think. The statistician in me has drawn me to create, rather than the silly minotaur I was going to go with, a hilariously optimised one. I'm sure Pang could do a better job but by the time it's my go in Pang's game again (In 2020) I should have nailed the optimum build.

Being on our chariot counts as squeezing? That's a bit tight, you're taking the fun out of mounted chariot combat.

You're going to need a big map by the way, I plan on Ben-Huring the shit out of this fight you know.

Also, if we're mounted on a chariot, why the fuck would we escape into a forest? Big, wide open spaces would make more sense, no?

Did we rule on whether burst attacks are cubes or spheres in terms of hitting stuff in the air or not? Given the blast is a square, using cubes would make working things out a fuck load easier if nothing else.

Ooh, and can we run people over? And does it hurt jumping off a moving wagon?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Cool.

Lurks, Ivory fights better on foot so if you want to jump off and kill the halfling hiding in the bush, I can circle around behind and we can pincer attack him then move on to the birds afterwards. I suspect the halfling will be the more annoying of the options.

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

And a swarm of rats in the first room of DoD.

Zerg, can you pdf us up fresh character sheets please? I've not got the character builder installed on this computer. Also, have we got any Action Points? If so, I want to attack the birds before my turn ends.

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

HEY LURKER, IT'S YOUR TURN SUGARTITS.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Because concentrating on one enemy at a time is the best way to win any fight. Have you never played an SRPG? The key to victory is reducing the damage received each turn, trying to kill eeverything at once gets you boned, ganging up on one at a time wins the fight and the halfling's about to die and the ravens have been drawn in so Ebony can flank them in a single turn.

It doesn't mention that the Combat Advantage trait needs a rider at all you know, only the trait that gives it's rider combat advantage or something needs a trained rider, the Dire Wolf just gains CA against any enemy with an ally next to it is how I'm reading the card.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Zerg, can the ravens keep scattered indefinitely? Combine that with an aura and you can basically automatically kill anyone you want (Slowly). Also, can they not be attacked or just not targetted?

FELIPE NO

In my defence, Bob was never ever ever in a position to either grant or benefit from combat advantage save for when people were prone and back in them days we didn't roll any dice and need to know any rules.

Tokens sounds cool. It's really hard to kill things in DnD and it's pretty hard to get killed yourself. The vast majority of my paper rpg experience was with Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay and Rifts, both of which let you cut down swathes of bad guys with ease but leave you hilariously vulnerable to getting murdered yourself. A critical hit table that can leave you with an arm missing is proper hardcore.

Zerg, looking at the character sheets you posted a couple of pages back, you seem to have an extra effect for the Hearth of Boldrei that's not on the item card, something about a power bonus if you hit the same enemy again. What's that all about?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Zerg, can we get a breakdown of current hp and number of remaining surges please?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ahahahahaha, I never noticed that before.
