[DnD] Let's Cast Magic Missile!

I, too, will prop it, when its proper time arrives. Sorry it took so long to set up the fight.

LeHah, opening move's yours just in case you've been ignoring all the skill-monkey shit that's been going on.

How ya doing, buddy?

Also I'm loving the irony that the party now has a really good use for a stick of never-ending chalk, now that they no longer have one.

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

Actually, I just enjoy playing D&D for the writing aspect and the humor. A'fight'n ain't bad either, but to me its just about character.

I'd've posted more but we've had power problems in the area. They were resolved yesterday, so I'm still playing catch up in the D&D thread.

Well, I mean, I can only do so much random violence when I'm a servant of a good deity

I will make a conscious effort, though! Less skill checks per capita!

I was speaking idiomatically.

I agree with LeHah. It's about the funny, not about the bloody violence. I would have enjoyed puzzle solving and/or map making just as much. Doesn't matter to me either way!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The secret is to be funny while doing stuff. Just sitting around in a cave doing chemistry projects for no apparent reason only holds interest for so long, regardless of how witty everybody is.

FELIPE NO

That's cool and all, knk. But there's not a lot you can do when half the group isn't posting and you don't want to make a bunch of decisions on their behalf there.

You don't need constant battles to have fun, is all I'm saying. But one could say that because of 4E's focus, it makes a lot more sense to have more of them, I guess.

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

Well Delic went and we're just kind of waiting for Pang to rape us. Until then we can post about picking our butts clean for smooth penetration I guess.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The Horde has a long and storied tradition of making executive decisions when the rest of the team are asleep. You've noticed Shin posts the most AND is on GMT right? Just go for it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I wasn't complaining by any means. It's just good practices to occasionally smack LeHah upside the head to make sure he's paying attention.

Oh wow. That's some luck right there. Everybody rape the Kruthik Hive Lord. I mean holy shit. Wow. I didn't think that would work nearly that well.

Not to rain on your parade, Skex, but I'm gonna guess Garr did in most of the minions already. I could be wrong though.

Oh my you spent an action point on me, oh you~

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

I...

I think I not only wasted the breath, I might've just hit Garr with it.

I think you're forgetting the thief that touched a necklace and disappeared FOREVAH.

Cursed by his own hubris.

It's okay. I'm sure you can edit it or pursuade Skills to delete the post to hide the incriminating rolls and Pang will not be any wiser!

I considered editing earlier, but you can't remove die rolls as far as I know, so I think we'll Garr will have to live with it.

Additional Spam:
I suppose if Pang is amenable to my getting a mulligan, then I'd re-do the turn, but I don't want special treatment either, so I can just eat the consequences if it doesn't bother anyone else.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

As it happens, Garr was out of harm's way and you did get one kill. Things could have gone a lot worse if either of you actually knew the rules, of course.

Yeah, I think we all realised after the first couple of non-fighty sections of the Dungeon of Doom that unless someone just goes ahead and does something, you end up spending a lot of time kicking your heels. The nature of play by post gaming is that waiting for everyone to agree on a plan means taking a week to explore every doorway.

Sure it means not everyone always gets their choice of which tunnel to walk down but it also leads to amusing situations where your wizard is going toe to toe with five sets of walking armour and all the tanks are taking a nap two rooms away.

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

Well, good. There's something I wanted to check out in town anyway.

On an unrelated note, whoever came up with the INSULT ATTACK at Wizards deserves a raise. I can already tell I'll never use any other attack again.

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

What kind of bonuses do I get from charging into attack? Can I charge *and* do an "At-Will" skill or is that considered two actions?

I was speaking idiomatically.

You can attack at the end of a charge, but it's just a basic attack; you can't combine a charge with a power.

And the bonus from a charge is only +1 to hit.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Pango, since I was slowed and not dazed, why did my move action not go through? I thought all slowed did was change speed to 2, and it didn't affect your action count?

For real, and I'm not saying you were taking extreme liberties or nothing. I enjoyed coming into work and seeing a wall of text that ended in my being way behind as the team faced down a giant baddie. Plus, half the time we were in non-combat I couldn't even come up with anything interesting to say or do.

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

Also, question re: saving throws.

Went through the handbook, couldn't find info on this specific case.

A single successful save saves against both poison and slow, you say (also weakened and acid).

In those grouping of conditions, there's one DOT, and one non-DOT.

As a warforged, I have a +2 racial bonus [Warforged Resilience] to saves versus DOTs. But not versus non-DOTs.

Therefore, do I need an 8 or higher to be rid of both, or do I need a 10 or higher, since that bonus is not applicable toward a compound condition? Or, if I roll an 8 or a 9, do I just lose the DOT and the other condition stays?

On account of I'm inattentive and sloppy.

Map fixed (might require a forced refresh)

I'm going to roll with this answer purely on a "I have no idea, but this is my arbitrary DM ruling" basis.
