Yes to both counts.

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

Hey Zerg, I have a question about surging to full health. I want to use as many healing surges that will get me close to my full hp, but I don't want to go over - I don't want to use a healing surge just to heal an additional (let's say) 3 hp, for example. How can I specify that?

Most amazing jew boots

You could say, "use x healing surges". Each surge will heal 1/4 of your max hp rounded down, though this value may increase sometimes (e.g. surge tapped via Ivory's Healing Word). Your surge value is 12, as indicated in the Second Wind entry.

I can always adjust surge usage so you don't waste them. What is the minimum amount of health would you accept as being "full", and thus no need to heal over that amount?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I never actually checked to find out, but my worry is that by surging to full I'm using up a healing surge to heal a small amount of hp. In this case it's no big deal; I'm currently on 14 hp so the third surge would only heal 11 hp to me, not 12, and that one lousy point doesn't seem like a big loss to me. I'd rather be surged to full.

I guess in general if I can be healed up until 5 hps from my max, I think that's reasonable. But I can do the math next time, since you're keeping my hp count up to date in the first post.

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

Why do you think "chuck everything in the chariot" doesn't include gold coins.

Zerg.

Why.

Why, it does appear you are correct!

Very well, you may have your 70 gold pieces

I was speaking idiomatically.

I hope Shin doesn't mind if I speak for him, but I'd just like to blanketly state that any time any money comes across our attention, we'll pick it up and pocket it when it is safe to do so.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Sounds reasonable to me.

Apparently my crossbow only has a range of ten according to my wiki thingy. Is that right? I mean, Ivory can throw things that far, you'd have thought he could get better distance with a crossbow.

FELIPE NO

Your crossbow has a range of 15/30. You take a -2 penalty hitting beyond 15, and can't hit beyond 30. For reference, longbows are 20/40.

Practically all of your powers key on your implement, which has a max range of 5. The only power that lets you use your crossbow seems to be a ranged basic attack.

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

OIC. The ranged basic attack power on my character wiki thing says ranged 10 on it.

Lurks, we might want to slow down a bit to let them catch up within bomb range at least but I think if we keep moving they'll stay a bit more strung out so we might not be fighting them all at once, plus it gives us more chances for awesome, epic, jumping off the moving cart to horse-jack someone moments.

How ya doing, buddy?

So it does. Damn, my bad.

I spent more attention on the Quick Sheet. ._.

Harbinger of Death

No Action.
Trigger: You hit an enemy with an attack.
Effect: Until the end of the encounter, you can change the
damage type of the attack to Necrotic or Cold. In addition,
the target gains vulnerability 5 to that damage type until
the end of the encounter after the triggering attack resolves.

Can't be that bad if an award-winning Canadian director uses it

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

I'm confused.

I know that Ivory gave me the reins, but you said that the wolf can only move during Ivory's turn so I thought you were telling us we couldn't do the thing we (Shin) wanted to do.

Additional Spam:
I mean I know I'm not creative in combat or anything but I'm pretty sure I would've gotten us away if you didn't tell us that we couldn't get away

I was speaking idiomatically.

You couldn't move the wolf during Ebony's original turn, because the round hasn't ended yet and stuff. Wolfie can only move so far in six seconds

Now that you've delayed and has basically started a new round, go nuts.

Though, I never imposed any condition that you have to hold the reins to move the wolf. Shin can move him via remote if he wants

Or maybe I'm dumb and you were referring to that bit about Ebony hesitating. Don't worry about it - just a bit of narrative license there - mechanically you delayed your turn.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Lurkeeeer. Still interested?

Do you want to delay again, or...?

Most amazing jew boots

Lurker has decided to retire Ebony. I'm still awaiting Shin's decision on whether he wishes to continue on with Rychord, or leave concurrently.

Rychord, you're up next. Do you have a character concept in mind?
Pang, you might be up soon.

I don't wanna go back to goblins or hobgoblins or what. So why don't you folks prepare Level 7 characters? You have an allotment of 12,100 GP to spend on gear. You can buy anything in Character builder that aren't boons, artifacts, and intelligent items.

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

I just sent you a PM with my level 5 build, but I'll gladly rework it to get up to level 7 and spend some moolah on goodies, though I wouldn't mind discussing my purchases with my eventual partner, so I might hold off on that front until I know who I'm playing with.

To whomever I will be joining up with, just know that my character is going to be a dragonborn paladin with poison breath, heavy on the healing surges and evil to the core.

Also: What's the most current version of the CB? I ask because I have to install it on my GF's comp since I'm on a mac, and consequently I haven't kept it up to date as I would have were it mac compatible.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The latest update to the Character Builder appears to be August 2010 though there could be a September revision I don't know about.

You're going to be playing with Pang. I believe he was intent on creating a Sorceror that wears scale mail. Why don't you two collaborate on creating a synergistic team, and jointly get your characters back while I try to finish off the Ivory/Ebony story arc?

Level 7. 12,100 GP to spend on things.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Nah, no September revision, Zerg.

They pushed it back until October (early) so that they could get the Dark Sun and Essentials stuff in there.

I ended up leaving the heavy armor thing by the wayside but here's Cyrus Von Brandt, L7 Storm Sorcerer. Might tweak him a little more once I've seen Rychord's guy but he's pretty adequate for most forms of face-wrecking.

Here's an IPlay4E link if somebody needs to view it on, say, a Mac.

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

Also Pang, if you could copy all your guy's stuff from the Compendium into, say, a Google document, it would be great. Saves me from doing some retyping to my Excel sheet.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Good game Zerg. I look forward to seeing the next group try their luck!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Aw shucks. The next encounter was seriously going to be with a very intelligent papa troll (Luc'ass) and a mentally-challenged mama troll (Yamana). Whose subsequent slaughter would so orphan and traumatize their poor little baby Gorg into captivity and stupidity.

Best laid plans.

FELIPE NO

I'm having a bit of a problem understanding all this holy symbol jazz. In the CB, I could clearly see it being equipped in the focus/ki slot, but in the item description it says that it goes in the off-hand. Sure enough when I upload the sheet to iplay4e (thanks Pang!) it shows as not equipped.

Does this mean that I actually have to sheath my weapon to equip it and benefit from the bonus, which would make it rather pointless when using my heavy flail?

Also, any tweaking suggestions are welcome at this point.
