Excellent I've had a kobold barbarian I was putting together that the weapon limits were really cramping his style.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hammer to the face is totally a valid strategic response to all problems.

On a totally unrelated note Pang what are your feelings on the fastball special in place of a charge?

How ya doing, buddy?

So guns in the setting means some form of gun or blasting powder decently is available correct?

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

Likewise


On an unrelated note Do you care if I use you as my go to bag o healing surges for my 2 for the price of one healing power? Seeing as you have the most of them and all.

Since we're doing the inherent bonus thing wouldn't he have to be given +4 armor to get that kind of boost? I mean I know I'm not much better off but at least I sprung for chain mail.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'm not sure that's actually the case. I went looking around the official forums because I was worried that might be it and I read a clarification somewhere that said that you just lose this.

"The moment you choose the rune, you enter its rune state. You remain in that rune state until you enter another rune state or until the end of the encounter.
Whenever you enter the rune state of the rune of destruction or the rune of protection, you gain an additional benefit, specified below. The benefit lasts while you're in the rune state.
Rune of Destruction: Allies gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls against enemies that are adjacent to you or to any other runepriests who are in this rune state.
Rune of Protection: While adjacent to you, allies gain resist 2 to all damage. The resistance increases to 4 at 11th level and 6 at 21st level."

Otherwise it pretty much cripples ever ability I have from the class. Seeing as every secondary effect I have is an either or rune choice. The wordings a bit unclear though.

PBH3 says this about it in the appendix.

"RUNIC
A runic power channels the magic of runes that are specified in the power.
RUNIC
You use these rules when you use a runic power.
+Choose First: When you are going to use a runic power, you first choose one of the runes in the power and then use the power, applying the chosen rune's effects.
+Rune State: You are then in the rune state associated with the chosen rune until you enter a new rune state or until the end of the encounter. Certain effects rely on you being in a particular rune state."

I think not having rune mastery has essentially made it to where i can derive no benefit from being in any rune state.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

"As a hybrid runepriest, you forgo some battlefield healing and mastery of basic runes in exchange for a second class's features and powers."

You are referring to this line correct? Note that first of all it says I sacrifice mastery as in rune mastery and it's benefits from being in a runic state. The runic riders for rune of destruction or protection are embedded in the attacks themselves though rather than the class powers.

I ended up searching the Rules Q&A forums on the wizards of the coast forums pretty thoroughly on this and it apparently gets asked a lot because of the wording and every instance had them agreeing that you do get to pick your runic rider. Even Half elves who a power it up using dilettante.

I think the idea was that the basics of how runes work was included in there to tell you how one gets into a runic state to begin with but ends up confusing things by making it look all lumped together. Then when you add that Runepriests are the only class built the way they are it removes the ability to use a lot of previous context.



And now I feel dirty for having to argue it this rules lawyery.

I suppose I would if I hadn't gone wrathful hammer instead. You'll note that's clearly stated as an either or. Though way to make it apparent that whatever your interpretation of the rule is it's probably wrong.

FELIPE NO

Not sure we do I burned mine on a miss and I think Animechanic used his already. If I remember correctly it has to be all the way over.

Pang would a Bull rush off the side do it or do we have to make him prone. If so could a grapple check do it?

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

Probably something to do with it seeming to be able to fly around randomly not provoking OA's. I think we all assumed it had some sort of wacky flying powers.

"It leaps from its dais, flying through the doorway and easily passing over Uxig's head."

Jam it back in, in the dark.

On an unrelated note everybody should probably be adding the damage bonuses I'm giving them onto their attacks. Since you know that's all I'm good for at the moment.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Seriously fuck those leaching sons of bitches using bit torrent to not have to pay for anything! OH wait.

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

Oh I totally agree just couldn't waste the opportunity to be hypocritical as fuck. I mean I've stolen the hell out of everything so far and this is a decidedly inconvenient move for me. But I can hardly argue that they're being asses by making things hard to steal.

As a move overall for the utility I'm not really sure if it's a good thing or not. It does take care of people only buying a subscription on months where things of interest to them come up so I can see the appeal there as well. Really I'd have to see how it's implemented since some are saying this might lead to faster updates.

Most amazing jew boots

It was damned clever of them to wait until right before the Dark Sun and Essentials stuff gets put in to do this. Really cut down on people who are happy with what they have now and unwilling to pay more.

Most amazing jew boots

Mayhaps but I am no a gentleman. Time to figure smashing based solution to this problem.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Look if brute force isn't working you're not using enough. Also way to disarm that obvious trap by flipping a switch and falling face first onto spikes. I think I like your style.

Most amazing jew boots

Pang approximately how wide is the opening of that cave? Say big enough for how many critters to come out at once?

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

Ok for a close blast do I roll an attack and damage for each enemy? Basic stuff I know but I forget.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Was that first attack a surprise round? If so how does that interact with great shouts -2 attack to all enemies within burst 5 until the end of my next turn?

Like would the surprise round and my normal count as one or is the effect already burned out?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This is no problem I can do this all day. Of course given that I already used my only AOE you guys could be waiting up awhile. Time to meticulously murder 27 dudes over the course of as many rounds. Knew I should have taken Shout of Fury as my barbarian at-will.

Time to get creative.

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

A solid plan but I fear that after this round I'm going to working from the center of this crowd so should have roughly 10 AO's a round coming my way if I do that. Not that they can hit for shit anyway but not worth the risk. However I will implement this if I have breathing room as it's fucking awesome.

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

PSSSSSSTT pang I think you might be being too subtle!


On a totally unrelated note in every way that is possible. If I were to Oh say smash all the oil I'm carrying how big a space would it cover? And does the cave slant downward towards the interior?

I was speaking idiomatically.

As do I...

Also that would just be silly to turn a math problem into a combat encounter and then turn it into yet something else.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I think we've all either got acrobatics or athletics trained and the platform to platform jump isn't more than two or three squares so we could probably just all leap over starting if we started with the closest people so the ones farther away have some clear middle points.

FELIPE NO

Couldn't hurt anything to go ahead and lay out the ropes. I'm not sure how many can stand on one platform at a time so we'll need to make sure just moving on is the plan before we end up with half the party stuck down the whole and the rest still spread out over several platforms.

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

Edit: Never mind brain fart.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
