[DnD] D&D Arena Signups and Discussion

I indeed tailored the dire wolf encounter to be a skill challenge to give you free mounts, since I like to test out mounted combat.

But that's more the exception than the rule. This is, after all, an arena

That's right. You only have the illusion of free will.

game, which denotes forced battle in an enclosed area. So expect a whole lot more railroading than Pang's more free-form game

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Sorry. I'll be more clear about expectations going forward.

So henceforth, you're supposed to kill people and stuffs from here on end! All enounters will be combat encounters, although there may be a skill challenge element inside (i.e. traps).

That mount thing was the exception. Perhaps that was too arbitrarily in that I expected you to be mind-readers. Won't happen again. .__.

That being said, would Ebony want a mount of his own?

FELIPE NO

Level 8. If you survive that long

(Also, +1 token to Ivory)

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

Pangalin Murphy!

Go sit in the corner.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Sure thing! You may also want to sign up for Pang's game, for a more intense experience with a traditional 6-man party.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Lurker surged to full, so hence, no damage.

Here's the mechanics on Astral Seal:
Attack: Wisdom +2 vs. Reflex
Hit: Until the end of your next turn, the target takes a –2 penalty to all defenses. The next ally who hits it before the end of your next turn regains hit points equal to 2 + your Charisma modifier (+2).

The character sheet PDF is outdated, since you're no longer using the Symbol of Shared Healing. The additional 5 HP pertains to your cleric feature called Healer's Lore. This was errata-ed a while back to only benefit healing that spend surges.

Please refer to the web site instead. I spent quite a bit of time on that Excel spreadsheet. I mean, it's even got a dandy summary of what actions you can take, segregated in Monster Manual 3-esque fashion by Traits, Standard, Minor, and Immediate actions

Perhaps not to the same extent as Pang's wiki-editing heroics. I can see he's experimenting with Gra-fa-zut's sheet on a sandbox.

To-do: Fix Adobe Acrobat

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

Gasp, mistakes in my spreadsheet!

* Fixed *

Since the the website is really for your benefit (and not mine), can you think of more ways for it to become more useful? I'll take your preference for sorting by at-will, encounter, and daily powers under advisement.

Also, what say you, lurker?

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

A strict reading of the rules say you are absolutely right. So I'm changing the rules, to start after this fight.

Now both of you have to post within a day of my post, if ever your turn comes one after another. You may "jump the gun" - there's only two of you, I won't get confused or anything.

How ya doing, buddy?

Saving throws are always done at the end of your turn (PHB 269).

There are a few ways to get in a saving throw before your turn ends. I believe the only way open for you two (not sure about this, ask Pang to be sure) is for someone to make a DC15 Heal Check to administer First Aid to an adjacent ally as a Standard Action (PHB 185). Then the saving throw can be made immediately (1d20, succeeds on 10+).

Well, fire breathin' is a 3x3 square that starts right next to you, and thus doesn't burn you. Certainly you can specify a 3x3 grid that will result in not hitting Ivory. If you specify, of course.

Also, you're dazed. It's either attack or escape. Which takes priority?

FELIPE NO

C6 it is then

For future reference, focusing the close blast from E8:G10 is a feasible move that would hit the cube, and the cube alone.

How ya doing, buddy?

Yes to both counts.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You could say, "use x healing surges". Each surge will heal 1/4 of your max hp rounded down, though this value may increase sometimes (e.g. surge tapped via Ivory's Healing Word). Your surge value is 12, as indicated in the Second Wind entry.

I can always adjust surge usage so you don't waste them. What is the minimum amount of health would you accept as being "full", and thus no need to heal over that amount?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Why do you think "chuck everything in the chariot" doesn't include gold coins.

Zerg.

Why.

Why, it does appear you are correct!

Very well, you may have your 70 gold pieces

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

Your crossbow has a range of 15/30. You take a -2 penalty hitting beyond 15, and can't hit beyond 30. For reference, longbows are 20/40.

Practically all of your powers key on your implement, which has a max range of 5. The only power that lets you use your crossbow seems to be a ranged basic attack.

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

So it does. Damn, my bad.

I spent more attention on the Quick Sheet. ._.

Wheel of Fun and Joy #47

Harbinger of Death

No Action.
Trigger: You hit an enemy with an attack.
Effect: Until the end of the encounter, you can change the
damage type of the attack to Necrotic or Cold. In addition,
the target gains vulnerability 5 to that damage type until
the end of the encounter after the triggering attack resolves.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Can't be that bad if an award-winning Canadian director uses it

You couldn't move the wolf during Ebony's original turn, because the round hasn't ended yet and stuff. Wolfie can only move so far in six seconds

Now that you've delayed and has basically started a new round, go nuts.

Though, I never imposed any condition that you have to hold the reins to move the wolf. Shin can move him via remote if he wants

Or maybe I'm dumb and you were referring to that bit about Ebony hesitating. Don't worry about it - just a bit of narrative license there - mechanically you delayed your turn.

FELIPE NO

Lurkeeeer. Still interested?

Do you want to delay again, or...?

Most amazing jew boots

Lurker has decided to retire Ebony. I'm still awaiting Shin's decision on whether he wishes to continue on with Rychord, or leave concurrently.

Rychord, you're up next. Do you have a character concept in mind?
Pang, you might be up soon.

I don't wanna go back to goblins or hobgoblins or what. So why don't you folks prepare Level 7 characters? You have an allotment of 12,100 GP to spend on gear. You can buy anything in Character builder that aren't boons, artifacts, and intelligent items.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The latest update to the Character Builder appears to be August 2010 though there could be a September revision I don't know about.

You're going to be playing with Pang. I believe he was intent on creating a Sorceror that wears scale mail. Why don't you two collaborate on creating a synergistic team, and jointly get your characters back while I try to finish off the Ivory/Ebony story arc?

Level 7. 12,100 GP to spend on things.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Also Pang, if you could copy all your guy's stuff from the Compendium into, say, a Google document, it would be great. Saves me from doing some retyping to my Excel sheet.

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

Aw shucks. The next encounter was seriously going to be with a very intelligent papa troll (Luc'ass) and a mentally-challenged mama troll (Yamana). Whose subsequent slaughter would so orphan and traumatize their poor little baby Gorg into captivity and stupidity.

Best laid plans.

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

Relax. All is well, for such an occurence has not come to pass because of extenuating circumstances.

As far as I'm concerned, we never interacted but he's trolled pretty hard on the (new) GF wiki. Though of late it's been overrun with spammers.

Rychord, looks like you'll have to go with a one-handed/versatile weapon, then. I'm not very good with divine types, though if there's one guy who can really ramp up your guy, it's Pang.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I have absolutely no objection with all your radiant powers reflavored towards necrotic. Especially since much, much more monsters are resistant to it vis-a-vis radiant. And the reverse is true when it comes to vulnerabilities

Let me know if this is what you want. It certainly makes thematic sense, and I promise I won't be so horrible as to send only undead at you.
