[DnD] Let's Cast Magic Missile!

aww...

SORCERER-5 could probably pass as you at first glance, except he's got his name in his title for some reason. That ruins all the fun.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

To be fair, I've given up on having a clue who anybody is this week, especially as most people are sporting the crash avatar most of the time.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hey look Pang, I'm Denicalis! Or am I?

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

I AM SKEPTICAL

TELL ME SOMETHING ONLY DENICALIS WOULD KNOW

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

PING PANG KOKOK LOL

I was speaking idiomatically.

THAT IS SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE KNOWS

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

EVEN I KNOW THAT

IF MO0 KNOWS IT

EVERYONE ELSE DOES

FELIPE NO

Товарищ Pangalin очень умные мужчины. Он преподавал в одиночку всей России, как играть в тюрьмах и драконов.

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

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The Dwarven Paladin felt every single wound since he was stranded in the infernal prison at the dusty town of Hog's End. He's been tested severely by Kord before, but not like this. His will is broken, shattered like the remaining shards of the armor still clinging to his bloodied flame.

His spirit is still willing, unfortunately the flesh is much, much weaker.

The dwarf grabbed hold of his battle axe, grinned wryly at the accursed hexer mage, and muttered a prayer of regret at his Deity.

Remove and drop armor.
Shuffle diagonally right.
Bolstering Strike on self.

Gabriel's last thought, as his entrails spilled out into the ground, was one of stoic resignation, yet a grim satisfaction being in command of his destiny.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Unfortunately, Gabe's AC and Attack bonuses are such in comparison to each other that were he to attempt to hit himself with his own axe, he would likely miss.

And even if he did hit, he'd be healing himself each time. Dwarven seppuku is an all-day job.

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

It would work, because the Hexer slowed Gabriel down, remember?

But anyway, I can heal myself by attacking myself? Sweet.

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

Be warned, killing yourself grants no XPs or lewt

I was speaking idiomatically.

It doesn't matter at this point. Kord's honor demands it!

Also, technically if Gabriel were to put down the axe with the sharp edge facing up, and throw himself into it belly-first, it should nullify any defensive AC bonuses, should it not?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Aaaaanyway...

With a bow he does 1D8+3, a damage range of 4-11 which would suggest magic is the way forward but I'm not sure how the rolls to hit are worked out. Magic is intelligence vs Fortitude but bow attacks are dexterity vs AC. Bob's intelligence and dexterity are the same but I have no idea vaguely what we're fighting ever has in the way of fortitude or armour.

Am I working the damage rolls out right and can we take it as read that if Bob misses he uses elven accuracy to re-roll please? That way I'm not so bothered about how likely he is to hit things if he gets a second chance without me needing to jump in before the next person takes a go.

FELIPE NO

I like how the frontpage post preview is completely worthless for picking up quotes or edits.

Let's see here.

Frost ray is +5 to hit, at 1d6+5 (6-11)

Shortbow is +6 to hit, at 1d8+3 (4-11)

Which makes the bow seem like a credible option, but nearly all monsters have a Fortitude lower than their AC, so all else being equal they're just as likely to hit and the magic edges ahead.

Elven Accuracy is an encounter power so we can't exactly use it on every miss, but we can assume Bob uses it on your first miss (or whatever) every fight if you want.


Two questions:

Would any of you find it helpful to actually know explicitly what rolls you're getting?

Would any of you consider it more useful to have the charsheet information on a webpage (probably a wiki) than on the PDFs?

Additional Spam:
Deni, I regret to inform you that you have once again overestimated your total ration of hands.

Most amazing jew boots

I noticed. I lost track. Speaking of: One use of any divine encounter power. As in I can't use smite and divine strength in the same encounter, right?

Isn't Ray of Frost 1D6+6? If I'm reading the sheet right (Which I'm more than likely not) Bob gets +4 for his intelligence modifier, +1 for the damage bonus on his staff of expansion and +1 for having Burning Blizzard.

I don't think actual rolls would be of much benefit to me, other than as a matter of interest type deal but if I'm attempting something ridiculously unlikely, it'd be nice to know so I can change tactics but you're pretty much doing that already (Like how Bob can't climb walls). An online character sheet might be handy though as I only have a copy saved on my work computer and never actually update it anyway.

How ya doing, buddy?

No, that applies only to your Channel Divinity powers (Divine Mettle, Divine Strength, Kord's Favor).

So you can use your Smite and one of the Channel Divinity powers in a single fight, but you can't use multiple Channel Divinity powers. (and when you reach level 3 and get another encounter power, you'll have the use of that, the smite, and a single Channel power, and so on)

Bob's intelligence does give a +4 to hit, but it's only a +3 to damage. The 1/2 level bonus is a little finicky in its application.

Answering your question up there, I don't mind PDFs, and I don't need to see dice rolls, but I'm clearly not a power player.

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

Well, it's not really a question of "minding" the PDFs, it just seems like a good idea to put the sheets in a place where everyone can see them.

I mean, *I* know when Deni's used up all his Lay On Hands, or when knk's used up all his healing surges, but if they don't know then all my extremely-accurate documentation does nobody any good.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well if you want to do the work, I'd check the site.

Most amazing jew boots

Yeah, I think it's a great idea, and allows us to check off our own stuff when we use it.

FELIPE NO

Okay, so.... were you waiting on your wiki entry to take your turn?

Because um here it is if it helps. You haven't used your Paladin's Judgment since July, so that might be a nice choice.

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

He's not ever used Sacred Circle has he?

Those wiki pages are awesome by the way.
