% = Tree branch canopy that falls half as low as the top of the trunk and 1.5x as high (+3 to +9 for small and +4 to +12 for large). Canopy provides cover and functions as difficult terrain for flying creatures trying to maneuver through it. You can brachiate through the canopy with a successful DC15 Climb check. One % is soft cover, two % is standard cover, three % is improved/superior cover and four or more % is total cover.

Here we go!

23:17, Today: Ario rolled 19 using 1d20+10 with rolls of 9.

Grunyar Fangblood rolled 8 using 1d20+7 with rolls of 1.  Initiative, feat, stone.

OOC: GLHF!

Grunyar, i'm not seeing your character sheet stats and whatnot that you need to post in your first post.

Please make sure that they are there and in a private message to me, Ugrim, and not the GM. (the GM can see it anyways)

This is the only chance you will have to edit you first post without fault. Make sure you do it right.

everyone else is good to go. Just wait for my say so and you can begin slapping eachother silly.

Yup. We're good to go.


Order of initiative is as follows

Ario
Hiro
Grunyar

let the battle commence!

Still adjusting from his recent polymorphery, Ario has nothing snarky to say but focuses on gathering power and keeping all of his legs moving in the right directions.

   ROUND: 0 (prep) (19)
POSITION: (A1,B2) to (A2, B3) or (B2,C3)
 ACTIONS: 5' step toward Grunyar (free), Charge Internal Buffer (Full Round), Accept 2 burn to charge shroud of water: shield (Swift/free), Draw potion  (free), drink potion  (hero point)

 HP: 187/187 (33 nonlethal)
 AC: 31; FFAC: 25; Touch: 17
CMD: 30 (42 vs trip); FFCMD: 21; FFTAC: 11

   USES:

DICE ROLLS: n/a

SUMMARY: Ario takes a 5' step toward Grunyar and powers up.  If Grunyar is diagonal, Ario's 5' step towards Grunyar is by way of toward Hiro.  Ario then charges his elemental powers and chugs something.

OOC: So... we all failed to post starting positions w/ initiative.  I marked all of Ario's potential squares - if the next player (or the third if the next player is diagonal) could delete the wrong squares, I'd appreciate it.  To be clear, I don't want to 5' step toward the empty square.

Holding my turn until I know Grunyar's starting position. I will be in T20, I assume.

I guess I'll start in T1

Prep round?

There is indeed 1 prep round, Hiro.

Your movement is technically legal seeing as you did not run or charge and only used a move action. so you really only have a standard action left.

Moving to pin down the dangerous summoner, Hiro dashes across the arena and moves into a style he's never used before.

OOC: Is there a houserule that allows us to use standards in place of swifts, or that allow multiple swifts in a turn?  Because activating a style is a swift.

In reply to Ario (msg # 15):

You can always "up" pay for any action. You can use a standard to do anything standard and under.

Thats what I thought, and it makes sense (alot dose not so doesn't make it right).
He just went into style in slow motion :)  guess its up to Ugrim, I'll have a post up shortly, sorry taking so long stopped and had waffles on the way home mmmmmmmm waffles :)

Grunyar tips his hat at the Monk unfolding large raven wings from his back and takes off flying ending up out of the monks reach he hopes with a Rod in his hand. Once settled he casts a spell and disappears from sight with a Grin and a Chuckle like the cheshire cat.

SUMMARY: Grunyar flys about, activates shirt, flys some more during which he draws a rod, casts a spell, and disapears

OOC: I did not roll a Stealth check because it was pointless, so just my 50% miss at the moment everyone knows where I'm at :)

Ugrim on my effect line I should have - Aspect: Flight, I must have skipped over it.

Sounds like 4th edition rules to me.  http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamema...bat#TOC-Action-Types  You get 1 standard, 1 move, 1 swift/immediate, and some frees.  The only up paying is, as it says, using a standard for an extra move.  Further down, under swift actions it also says "You can, however, perform only one single swift action per turn, regardless of what other actions you take."  Unless there's a house-rule about "up paying" I missed?

I certainly could be wrong about this. Let's wait for a ruling from Ugrim so I can adjust if necessary.

You know, this is an interesting subject.



by the rules you can only take one swift action a turn. The strange thing is that it also says you can take up to one swift action without affecting your other actions in that turn. So perhaps the ability to use move and standard actions to activate swift actions is also a thing?

The problem with suggesting that this is possible is however extremely terrifying. Take for example a spell caster who maybe has a bunch of spells quickened, If we allow move actions to be used for swift actions, then said spell caster now gets to cast three spells a turn. One swift spell, one swift spell as a move action, and then one more spell as a standard action and frankly thats donkey balls.

So honestly i think the restriction that swift actions can only be used once per turn is as far as it goes. Maybe if there was a further restriction that the same kind of swift action can not be used more than once per turn, then I'd be ok with move actions being used for an extra swift action.

But as it stands, seeing as i see nothing in the RAW and there is no house rule i can find in the arena, swift actions are a once per round thing, period. To allow more than one a turn could lead to terrifying consequences and i certainly am not going to be the founding father of that idea.

If GM Arkrim wants to add something to the rules about it, thats on him, but my ruling is that swift actions shall be limited to swift actions and only swift actions and no higher action may be repurposed to allow a second or third swift action in a turn.
