[DnD] Let's Cast Magic Missile!

Well, for one thing, Spitting Cobra stance was recently errata'd: I've corrected your sheet with the new version. It's now significantly less powerful since the free attacks are now immediate reactions and not opportunity actions. This means only one bonus attack per round, rather than potentially one on each enemy's turn. However, immediate reactions lack any restriction against being triggered by forced movement. It's a mixed bag.

Regardless, using a bow at melee range is still a bad idea as far as I can tell.

In brighter news, Careful Shot was also errata'd and your Dex modifier is now added to damage! Although the power card is bugged and says Str modifier which would make no sense.

In other errata news, Acer's Rod Of Reaving was also errata'd recently: the bonus 1 point of damage from placing a curse no longer applies to minions (because that would be silly).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I am very sad that I did not get to abuse Spitting Cobra Stance before the erratum.

To compensate me for my sadness, I wish to immediately retrain the Lethal Hunter feat into Hunter's Aim

, Split the Tree to Hunter's Bear Trap

, and Shadow Wasp Strike to Disruptive Strike

!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

5 extra damage on the attack you use most often seems like pretty decent compensation mr. man



Speaking of retraining I suggest those of you who do have access to the character builder (legitimately or not) discuss available options at Level 6 with those players who don't have access, because my previous system of "screenshot every available option and slap it into a post" is looking veeeeerrry implausible this go-round. Cal alone qualifies for... let's see... over 300 feats. So.

As far as I know pirating the character builder is fairly easy

How ya doing, buddy?

Actually, I thought that as a coward, Nimble Strike was better than Careful Attack. Most of the time I'll be using Twin Strike, unless accuracy is necessary (burn a troll, lolol)

As far as retraining is concerned, I'm kinda vacillating between getting me a Greatbow or a Superior Crossbow. 1 point of accuracy sounds better than 2 points of damage, but I can't use Twin Strike with crossbows !@#!!@! and must take two feats to use it properly, that being Superior Crossbow proficiency and "Speed Loading"

Pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaase with sugar on top?

5 points of extra damage on an at-will isn't anywhere near comparable to a possible 1d10+7 AoO on every single opponent that moves closer to me (less one), per round!

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

If we're retraining now instead of at level up, Guilding Strike in exchange for War Song Strike would be super duper.

I was speaking idiomatically.

EXCEPT WE'RE NOT DOING THAT

First you take up Zerg's obsession with corpse mangling

Now his issues with literacy

You are hanging out with a bad crowd, Skills

Most amazing jew boots

Excuse me! I took the corpse mangling thing from whoever put that decapitated dwarf head on a pike!

Also! I mangle corpses. He draws and quarters living things, then roasts. Totally different.

Told you before. Adaptable and all that. Pang (Wave of Despair) and Skills (Diplomacy with Helga) totally started the Helga harlot thing too =O

FELIPE NO

YOU ARE BOTH THE WORST

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

That's harsh bro. Real harsh.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If only I didn't open my big mouth today

Don't fool around with that box.

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

If anyone needs help with that Character Creator, I have a copy now. PM me.

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

as in a proper copy which goes past level 3? (as opposed to the demo i found)

I was speaking idiomatically.

That would be the implication now, wouldn't it? Not much use posting I HAVE A DEMO THAT IS FREELY AVAILABLE FROM THE SITE IN QUESTION.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

You can download the CC from pretty much any torrent site. Has been available forever.

FELIPE NO

Quite. But offering a helping hand should hardly be chastised.

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

Not chastising you, saying to certain OTHER PEOPLE that more than the demo has been floating around for quite some time.

I think everyone should have the CC. It will make turn over quicker once Zerg dies.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

certain other people avoid torrents because torrenting where i live kills the internet for 30-40 other people trying to do homework.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Here's the November patch on Mediafire, then.

(as far as I know each patch includes all the previous patches)

I'll put up the December patch once somebody leaks it (I'd leak it myself, but haven't the faintest idea how)

I think you just need the demo and the patch and you're set?


Edit: I know it's kind of annoying to have to install software for a forum game, so if you're unwilling or unable (macfag etc) let me know

How ya doing, buddy?

It would be cool if someone has a version of it that doesn't need installation (ie ThinApp virtualization)

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

Thanks Pang, it works. And there was much rejoicing.

I was speaking idiomatically.

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?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Does the character creator thingy cover minotaurs and either way, do we have tp use it if we're one of those old school types who doesn't really give a fuck about all the numbers and maximising their character's efficiency and shit? I know it's going to be a long while before I'm up again but when I am, I'll probably be happy with whatever Pang gives me that fits the basic description of a big-ass minotaur with two fuck off great axes and anger issues (I'm thinking a barbarian now as we've had a few bards and Zerg's experiments in poetic posts were painful ot say the least.). Of course I'd flesh out the character but I kind of glaze over when reading all the different modifiers and dice rolls and stuff.

I'm not knocking the current mathematical style of play but you don't want to put any of the new players off by forcing it on them.

Most amazing jew boots

we only do the number crap b/c we're nerds and it makes it a bit easier on pang

he does so much already

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

Like I said, I'm not knocking it, it's just a bit beyond me and I'm sure I'm not the only one here. Was just pointing out to those on the top of the reserve list that you don't need a degree in applied mathematics and statistical analysis to have fun playing the game.
