[DnD] Let's Cast Magic Missile!

For right now I'm just trying to tie up the higher HP characters. I don't have anything I can spare against him that I won't need against whatever lurks behind curtain number 3, though. My normal attacks aren't going to help as much as yours will, either, so. =/

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

I dunno how fast that thing can move, but I'm going to stick with killing the bloodied creatures for now, and hopefully clear the air a bit.

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

I'm assuming the door I just moved to has dots on it to show it's locked.

In which case

I was speaking idiomatically.

Oh lovely

Hopefully that will work too (edited)

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Oh for the love of Wilbur

Fuck it, I'm going to open the brick

because I'm just that awesome

FELIPE NO

I think I have figured out what I'm going to do now.

I feel like we're missing something, though. Helga and the gang must have had some kind of negative reinforcement device somewhere around here. They can't just expect the troll to behave based on chains alone.

Additional Spam:
While I'm here and thinking about it, is it possible to aim for a certain part of an enemy's body in exchange for higher DC?

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

I figured a little RP would help spice things up. I don't want to slow down the pace of the game, but having both the dragonborn thing and the cleric thing running against him, I think Gheth would have to object to torture in full view of him.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

FORGET I SAID ANYTHING ABOUT ROLEPLAY

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Quick question about temporary hit points. The PHB says:

Quote:

Don’t Add Together: If you get temporary hit
points from different sources, use the higher value as
your temporary hit point total instead of adding the
values together.

My question is when it says "different sources." If I have an at-will that gives 4 temporary hit points to an adjacent ally every time I hit, does that mean they'll only ever have 4, or because it's only one source (me), does it stack?

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

So let's get an idea of what we're doing here. Baphomet, the slavers, or back to town?

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

On the topic of retraining: are we going to be doing the 1 skill per level thing, or is it basically an excuse to respec all feats/skills?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Okay, that's cool.

By the way, thank you to Skills for putting up the character builder. I would have just followed the PHB otherwise and wouldn't have even known about some of these abilities.

On another note, Avenger looks like sweet nectar to me. I haven't even finished a campaign yet and I'm already thinking about my next char.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Let's not waste an opportunity for a surprise round this time. Hopefully Garr's caught up to us by now, and we can both rush them.

Also I just realized who Gordok reminds me of

1 Die Roll reagan smash?

Zerg, that square you moved to is behind a wall.

Unless!

It's not like I was going to waste an encounter spell on something that went down that easily anyways
And it's one thing to say 2 damage die and another thing to see it hitting 3 people 5 times in one round.
And why does the warrior get a distance attack?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, basically the only reason I went with the morningstar back there is because it's ranged 10/20 instead of 5 and I didn't want a fire sandwich

There's nowhere I can't reach.

God bless you, little bear.

How ya doing, buddy?

Hey, Pang, can you show me where Framarth is in relationship to G-unit? Maybe even another updated zoomed-out map?

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

But um....I can sustain/move the weapon without a target, right, Pang?

Right?

5:27 AM - Skexis: lovely
5:27 AM - Colonel Skills: YOU ARE PROFESSIONALLY USELESS.

Man, when I signed up for this thing I was thinking +7 to hit sounded pretty damn good.

There is one thing that reconstructing Gheth has shown me. It seems to me that his "Healer's Lore" wisdom bonus (+4 to all powers that have the Healing keyword) has never been used in battle...

Here's my half-assed attempt to boost Gheth's accuracy a bit, with +11 to non-implement spear attacks. Changed weapons to greatspear (reach 2) - though it's gonna cost him 175GP to transfer enchantment if he wishes to do it.

That's not a bad suggestion(s).
I am a bit worried about what will happen if I go for attack power over great shield or AC focus, though, as the damage rolls for enemies remain pretty high.

I'm thinking that the multiclass avenger feat (Disciple of Divine Wrath) is almost indispensible for me at this point, too. Even if it's only once per encounter, that's up to 4 attack rolls with spiritual weapon out. 6 if I use action point.

Or hey, maybe only 4 max, because Spiritual Weapon isn't a melee skill despite being used in melee range. WHY DO YOU MOCK ME, WOTC

Additional Spam:
So I guess it's safe to assume the encounter's over?

Does that mean I still have to roll to save from poison/DC check to save Gordy from dying?

FELIPE NO

Point taken on the damage die, I had forgotten that conversation took place. D:
The other thing I just realized is if I change my proficiency in the middle of a dungeon, I'd be crippling myself until we had a chance to go back to town.

Unless we're taking the opportunity to go back after this battle, that is. But since we're so close to the boss, I figured it wouldn't be likely.

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

I get the feeling Cal is the kind of adventurer that keeps fetuses in formaldehyde at home because of the way the green glass adds color to the room.


Pang, is it possible for me to hold off on leveling up until we hit town?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I promise, next character we'll drizzle honey on the peasants when we fight the dire bears.

I would think you'd be the last person to suggest making a stand and hoping for the best. -_o
