[DnD] Let's Cast Magic Missile!

I had the itch to go reread over 3,400 posts worth of "Let's Cast Magic Missile". (Man, I can't believe how ignorant I was). I also noticed I'm being very hypocritical in crying that Pang is trying to kill us, when all my posts prior to my joining the game were egging Pang on to kill the party already.

Anyway! I've gathered together these explanatory icons which you have posted before. Did I get them all, Mr. Pang (can't seem to find the first two icons that are currently on Gorg)?



FELIPE NO

But also:

Intimidated!

Cursed!

Bard Song'd!

Holding a Stance!

Spiritual Weapon!

And the never-actually-gets-used favorite:

Stealthy!

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

Huh, never used favorite hmm? I want to use it, I really do! But the stupid manual says I can't be stealthy if I have no cover at the end of my movement

What does "Intimidated" do? Is it like this "Fear" affliction in PHB, where the enemy runs away as fast as it can from you?

Okay, you totally edited in that pixilated spiritual weapon sprite right after I did my editing Anyway, here's an updated doodad you can stick into your opening post or something... (if you can shrink it better than me, that is!)



Jam it back in, in the dark.

Being intimidated is what happens to someone you have successfully used Intimidate upon.

HTH

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ahhh, so it's actually an icon that's GOOD TO HAVE

Derik has taken a total of 46HP damage. By my reckoning he should not be dead (Erik was at 46 damage before, and was still alive then) but very close to it. 4 HP damage should kill him dead.

It's not so bad, +10 to hit vs. AC is basically what I can do with non-careful attack arrows anyhoo, and it's probably comparable to your "Vicious Mockery" but with bigger damage, since I guess Will is usually 3 points behind AC. (Man, you got absolute max damage, nice rolls.)

Once Derik dies, maybe you can attack him on melee as well with a flaming sword wrapped around a cotton dress! Higher chance to hit as well, +10 vs 20 (10+ roll hits) compared to +7 vs 18 (11+ roll hits)... Course, you're a squishy bard, so eh...

As far as moves are concerned though, I was thinking how nice it would be if Gheth had Glock's charisma score and has the Consecrated Ground

daily. 5HP regeneration per round per bloodied player in the zone, 1d6+4 radiant damage to every enemy in that 3x3...! Oh well, I guess that's all wishful thinking.

Pang, I want to swaddle my Bastard Sword in peasant dress, ignite it, and throw it to Garrmondo. Will I be able to do that, and attack Gorg, in one turn?

Proposed sequence:

Move: Go to AB-3
Minor: Retrieve sword, wrap around cotton dress, ignite, throw to Garr
Major: Shootery

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

The one HP bonus is what's crap about it, considering my constitution. A better choice would be Guiding Strike for a melee attack, or Misdirected Mark for general usefulness. Going to switch to the Former when given the opportunity.

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

Horned Hold has tons of crossbows you can swipe from dead duergars, though you probably don't have proficiency till level up time.

Oh level up time, so far far away with 945 XP to go

How ya doing, buddy?

So... for the cost of a minor action, you think it is plausible that I will let you perform 4 minor actions.

I'm going to think about this at great length and get back to you at the soonest possible opportuni—NO.

PS: Bards totally have crossbow proficiency but since Glock has a songblade he probably doesn't need a crossbow ever

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Acer has given me permission to act on his behalf while he's currently swamped with work and advent banner creation.

This is not him stepping down, just letting you guys now I've got Gordy for a few days.

FELIPE NO

Zerg, I'm not going to tell you what you can and can't do but please keep in mind that trading in the organs and hides of nominally intelligent races is usually frowned on by most civilized persons.

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

What is with Zerg and dismembering corpses?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's a HOBBY. He's a ranger man, he totally knows his taxidermy and use of creatures!

I only wanted a few GPs, is all Guess I will get them another way to fund my lust for adventurer gear...

I don't want to spring this on you Pang, so let's give you time to prepare a suitable list (or perhaps a suitable rejection)! I've been thumbing through the Adventurer's Vault, and I covet a mount. I don't think cheap horsies live in caves, but maybe some other usable mounts

do! Soooo, I intend to buy one at the next opportunity if the price is right

_____

Denicalis' mention of "Darth and Droids" much earlier in the thread made me rather curious, so I started looking at it. Episode 344 had a bonus feature with a what-if frame-for-frame rendition

of grapple rules.

Is this.... really based on a real game system? :O

There's nowhere I can't reach.

For once Zerg is right, 179 - (6 + 7 -10 + 16 + 12 + 11 + 10 + 10 + 9 + 12 + 7 + 11 + 19) = 59. The bloody should have come from one of the two opportunity attacks, and there was only one health regen in there since the scan, so unless I'm missing something here...?

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

Okay, looking back over it I did fail to take into the account 13 damage that Gorg took between the time of the scan and the time I actually posted the scan results. Meaning that, yes, Gheth was indeed bloodied by Gheth's AoO. Sorry about that guys, good catch.

I will get those goggles away from you someday and then where will your precious mathematics be

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

I has minor question about concealment! Does the smoke cover Y-5 and Y-4 as well?

Also guys, why don't you use your action points. Pang admits we've strictly fought a Level 10 battle, so I'm sure that counts as a milestone (2 encounters without taking a short rest an extended rest) so you'll get one back

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, unfortunately Maptools refuses to overlay anything atop the token layer.

Smoke is in

U-5, U-4
V-6, V-5, V-4
W-5, W-4
X-5, X-4
Y-5, Y-4

MILESTONES DO NOT WORK THAT WAY

A: No.

B: Stop asking rules questions in the game thread

How ya doing, buddy?

Yessir! Right away sir!

Okay, so it's extended rest, not short rest. Still a level 10 encounter counts as two back-to-back level 5 encounters, right?

FELIPE NO

I don't know why you would think such a thing, you silly

FFFFFFFFF okay then damn it

but bear in mind also!

But, but... it was only made 'easy' because of Acerbandit's creativity!

You wouldn't want to penalize player creativity, would you? .__.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Three questions for Mr. Pang!

1. Will Changeling Trick

give me combat advantage for ranged attacks, or is it strictly a melee matter?

2. If I want to keep up the pretense, do we make opposed bluff rolls every round? (Of course it stands to reason the whole ruse is busted once I try to attack him, but what if I don't?)

3. Just for flavor, is it possible to describe how high the room is, and what raiment Gorg is wearing?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

1. The power doesn't seem to specify melee, so ranged should work just as well.

2. As far as I can tell, Changeling Disguise just continues to work until you do something that makes it obvious you're a fake (or in same cases, failing to do something).

3. 15 feet, and not much of anything other than a loincloth and a collar.



Some of you may notice a new field on your character sheets. Pay it no particular mind.

Sweet. But I only got two kills ;___;

Helga's a bossy type. Don't you guys think it would be quite... out of character for her to so easily acquiesce to a shouted demand, especially coming from an inferior (in status and intelligence) being such as the Grimmerzhul pet troll...?

Most amazing jew boots

Please, Zerg. If I let you chip in on achievement ideas Cal would be drowning in the damned things before the week's out. I HAVE SEEN THROUGH YOUR RUSE.

Moar liek Kuribo Award-style "achievements" like: worst plan ever, worst role-playing ever, best rules lawyer, best munchkin, and greediest PC ever... amirite?!

So anyway to make this post at least tangentially on topic, what's Gorg's passive insight score that I have to beat with Changeling Trick?
