[DnD] Let's Cast Magic Missile!

I had hoped Delic would "step out" of the game, so I could pick him up later - but this is fine too.

I apologize for having to leave in media res but things on my end in real life just are not working out well enough to stay on top of the game. Once things get settled, I'll let you guys know when to add me back into the waiting queue.

FELIPE NO

I provided an "out" for that in Cal's history, Lehah. But, I suppose you could always knock up a different character if the ban on humans stands.

This

seems to be the most comprehensive map of the area that you've supplied, Pang. From which direction did the horde traipse from? Was it from V23?

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

Don't get mad Zerg, everyone gets hazed when they first join. Bob, for example, was made to pull a train.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Bob's entire life was a hazing ritual. Good lord take your turn already, Acer.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yes.

5-character minimum

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

Got a couple of attack-related questions:

1. Every time I want to attack with arrows, I need to load the bow (which is considered a minor action right?). If so, Cal has some encounter/daily powers that let loose two arrows at once - does he need to spend two minor actions reloading the weapon?

2. I want to check if I'm interpreting the data on the wiki correctly:

• Hunter's Teamwork is Dexterity vs. AC, combat advantage granted if 2 allies are adjacent to target. You've put down +10 to hit, 1d10+7 damage alongside it.
• The basic poisoned longbow attack is +11 to hit vs. AC, 1d10+7 damage, and extra +1d6 poison damage on a critical roll.

So, is it safe for me to say that using the basic attack will always be better than the at-will attack, since the bonus to hit is higher by one point - and there's a critical bonus to boot (although currently useless against poison-immune dwarves)?

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

I think I can answer #2.

From what you've stated, your normal attack would usually be better than Hunter's teamwork - however, combat advantage gives +2 to hit, so it would be more accurate if you have 2 allies next to the baddie. It's pretty much a choice between an additional 5% hit chance or an extra 1d6 damage on the off chance you roll a 20. That or the poison might work either way, i'm not sure.

I think. Pang will correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, i doubt you'd have to load twice to use those abilities, but then I didn't realize you had to load at all, I'm pretty sure Bob just shot whenever he felt like it.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Loading a crossbow (non-repeating) is a minor action. A bow is a free action.

Someone kill Zerg already.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I would use one of my awesome dailies in his vicinity but I used all those up despite following Glock around who got his back. Apparently Gordok really likes watching robots sleep.

FELIPE NO

The critical bonus on a weapon applies to all of its attacks, though, not just the basic.

Anyway the solution is that the base attack was supposed to be +10 the whole time and I typoed it. So, mystery solved.

And yes, loading a longbow is a free action so don't sweat it

skex go take your turn so i can be late for taking my turn again, god

dude hasn't been online since halloween - maybe somebody got him! =o

Jam it back in, in the dark.

So by my count, Rundarr's down to around 45hp. We should be able to take him out if we can just keep the die rolls up. These minions don't seem to be too bad either if 20 damage bloodies them.

Hi again everybody

There's nowhere I can't reach.

hi skex

Most amazing jew boots

28 HP now, actually. Garr and Zerg might be able to finish him off before his next turn, if they both hit.

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

That's... that's almost correct.

You guys have been paying attention

I... I don't know what to say <3

Yeah well, if only you shifted Cal in the opposite direction, he'd prioritize the giant...

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

ehhhhh, you can shift away.

FELIPE NO

You... You people murdered Murray.

You fuckers.

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

He died valiantly and with great honor.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I can't wait until we get to say that about you in a smug fashion.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh, it will eventually come. Eventually Pang will roll up some monsters that are too strong.

However, I am curious. Why are you that hostile towards me?

How ya doing, buddy?

I hope nobody ever says that about your parents.

[Unsleeping Watcher] implies I will take all the watches. Zerg is free to stay in the kitchen for whatever fucking reason he sees fit, the fact that he's giving the enemies time to set up giant bomb launchers just means I'm forcing him to go first into all the rooms we explore until he handily gets his head cut off by someone with an axe to grind. Both literally and figuratively.

For the period of this time, consider my character near enough to Acer, Garr, and Skex's to wake them by shouting, should I notice anything fishy as I sit in a chair and smoke a pipe. Alert them and wake them should anything come close. Ignore any trouble Cal might be causing by exploring elsewhere, and don't wake shit, even if he can be heard distantly screaming.

My apologies, Colonel.

It is not my intention to derail any of the group's plans in any way. I'm playing a shapeshifter, so I plan to be adaptable to any situation.

To avoid this kind of dispute in the future, I will state in advance my intentions in this thread, and you folks can say so if you think it is too disruptive.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Man, my robot is taking it out on you in character, he wanted to go bash some heads.

Take charge if you want to. It's just kinda FLOW BREAKIN and such.

FELIPE NO
