Bet you can't get lower than this! :-P

23:16, Today: Ario rolled 10 using 1d20+9 with rolls of 1.  Initiative vs Tina.

You're right. I am literally incapable of rolling lower than your roll.
00:12, Today: Tinny Tina rolled 18 using 1d20+10 with rolls of 8.  Initiative vs. Ario.

Will get my first post up tomorrow.

 Welcome to the artillery championship !
 We have a robot bomberman in one corner and a spider-person with a laser canon on the other, this is going to be fun to watch.

 I've taken a look at your sheet, nothing jumped to my eyes as illegal (though there is some crafty stuff in there...)

 Whenever you're ready, Tina, and make sure to update the map.

T = Tinny Tina
M = Mike the Compsognathus
C = Catapult


Ario, I need your starting position and defenses

Sure thing, but as you had to post position first, in what direction is your catapult aimed?

Also, does the catapult fit in your heavy load?  If not, it can't be on your gear list or in the arena with you.

It's not gear, it's an animated object.

Well, we're only allowed to craft items, so if you made it I think carrying capacity applies.  Either way, as a creature, the minions rule should apply.

Well I probably can't carry the catapult in with me, but it doesn't have a weight listed anywhere.

Well, the arena uses the average weights for creatures, so a gargantuan creature would weigh 70.5 tons. :-P

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamema...tened-area-templates

 My first instinct is to say the gargantuan animated object is more akin to an eidolon or cohort than it is to a hireling or follower.
 I will consult the arcanes of character creation/arena rules and get back to you.

 Clearly, the carrying capacity is a non-issue ; sentient creatures carry themselves.

 On one hand, it seems only fair to allow a spellcaster to craft a Construct, just as a Summoner would have an Eidolon or a Ranger an Animal Companion. The feat/features/gold investment is very similar, so it doesn't seem unbalanced.

 On the other hand, "Animal companions, familiars, cohorts, special mounts, eidolons and summoned creatures are allowed but not hirelings, followers or purchased creatures," and "Crafting an item merely means that you acquire it for half the normal GP/BP cost".

 That is to say that even if you craft the item, you're still using a "purchased creature".

 I have to rule the Animated Catapult illegal, unless GM Arkrim amends this rule.

Ario, I don't suppose you'd let me do something else with that 204 BP I spent on it? Or at least swap out the discovery I took to make it?

That was creative and brilliant risk and probably would have murdered me pretty much outright if it came through.  So, kudos on that. That said, while your gamble didn't pay off I'd be fine with you not losing everything for it.  Go ahead and take your pick of reassigning the BP to other items, or change Promethean Disciple to another discovery, whichever you find more valuable.

Also, while I hope animated objects never make it into the arena proper, I think robo-rally matches might be a lot of fun.

Generous of you, Ario.

Let me know which you pick, Tina, and repost your sheet.

That's what Monster Mashes are for :P

Went with reassigning the BP instead of changing the discovery.


Now, Ario, your starting position and HP/defenses, if you don't mind.

"Mike! Do the thing!" Mike does the thing, which is the thing he and his "siblings" always do; buffing Tina. Even from all the way across the stadium, Tina's aim is impeccable, with all five bombs hitting their mark, burning at the freaky spider-drow hybrid's flesh.

 Ario, the maths add up. The order of actions and the vague wording of Rapid Shot makes it look like the swift attack would incur the same penalties, but even then that doesn't change the result.

Attacks 1 and 4 miss because  (pm)
Attack 2 misses because  (pm)
All misses land at least 3 squares away because of range, so do no damage to Ario.

After a brush with death, Ario charged the tiny construct, and swung his whip at her.

If you have miss chance, it'd be nice to know so that I can roll it and expedite my turn.

No miss chance.

When the whips strikes Tina, she starts glowing and doesn't take as much damage as she should. However, weird fiery injuries do appear on Mike. "Mike! Do the other thing!" Mike does the other thing, which touch himself with the other glove, which results in two Mikes. Then she throws more bombs.

Made a mistake, missed bombs don't splash.

 Missed bomb don't splash indeed.

 While Tina has no idea why her attacks 1 and 4 missed, she did notice that Ario deflected the bomb 2 with his bare hand.

That should be all.

During your turn:

If Mikey Provokes (as he's before you in post and initiative from your delay):
16:19, Today: Ario rolled 23 using 1d20+17 with rolls of 6.  AOO vs Mikey if applicable w/ maximized blue flame whip.  (78 damage)

When you make the first bomb attack:
16:17, Today: Ario rolled 31 using 1d20+17 with rolls of 14.  AOO 1 - Maximized Blue Flame Whip vs Tinny's TAC.  (78 damage)
Ario takes 37 (+ 6 from start of turn) dropping to 59/176 (33 nonlethal)

When you make the second bomb attack:
16:18, Today: Ario rolled 25 using 1d20+17 with rolls of 8.  AOO 2 - Maximized Blue Flame Whip vs Tinny's TAC. (78 damage)
Ario bats the second attack aside and takes no damage.

If you're still up to make the third bomb attack:
16:18, Today: Ario rolled 27 using 1d20+17 with rolls of 10.  AOO 3 -  Maximized Blue Flame Whip vs Tinny's TAC. (78 damage)
Ario takes 38 and falls to 21/176 (33 nonlethal) - unconscious but living and not bleeding out.

Also, how are you using extracts without taking actions?

Also, Compsognathuses... Combsognathi? Compsognathoi?... do not have hand item slots:
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-...em-slots-for-animals

 The familiar has a feat that allows it to use hand-slot wondrous items.
 I dont' think Tina was using extracts.

 Tina, could you resolve your bomb attacks one by one, including the AOO by Ario in between, and see who collapses first?
 I have a feeling some of those might not land....

She shows one used each round so far in her uses line.

Mike has the Extra Item Slot feat, which lets me add another item slot to him (in this case, hands). He's wearing Poisoner's Gloves containing infusion extracts.

Tricky.

But: When did you take the full round actions to fill them?

Also, was the one that targeted you personal range?  (If so, you are immune to it as it gives a fort save per the item's text.)

You're allowed to voluntarily forgo a saving throw (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic#TOC-Saving-Throws), which I believe should apply to extracts (since they "behave like spells in potion form").

If Josep rules that my construct traits block Poisoner's Glove infusions, then I definitely lack the damage to kill Ario.

Anyway, here's the breakdown assuming I DO get the infusion from Poisoner's Gloves.


Since touching someone doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity, Mike does not provoke and is still alive.

I make my first attack.
Ario makes AoO
Both Mikes use Bodyguard to Aid Another, increasing Tina's AC.
16:31, Today: Tinny Tina rolled 23,28 using 1d20+9,1d20+9 with rolls of 14,19.  Mike 1 and 2 Aid Another (Tina AC).
Both succeed, and Mike 2 uses In Harm's Way to take all the damage from the attack.

Tina is at 70/109
Ario is at 59/176 (33 nonlethal)
Mike is at 15/54
Mike 2 is dead


I make my second attack.
Ario deflect attack
Ario makes AoO
Mike uses Bodyguard to Aid Another, increasing Tina's AC.
16:33, Today: Tinny Tina rolled 28 using 1d20+9 with rolls of 19.  Mike Aid Another (Tina AC).
Mike succeeds, and uses In Harm's Way to take all the damage from the attack.

Tina is at 70/109
Ario is at 59/176 (33 nonlethal)
Mike is dead
Mike 2 is dead


I make my third attack
Ario makes AoO
Tinny Tina takes 78 damage.
Since AoO's occur before the action that provokes them, Tinny Tina's attack doesn't occur.

You can indeed benefit from any spell that normally allows a fortitude save, if you want to.
Tina being a construct doesn't change a thing, the extract may affect her regardless.
Whether or not you're allowed to prepare your Poisoner's Gloves with extract, however, might be the problem.

However, seeing the breakdown of the last round, that means that regardless of whether the poisoner's glove work or not, Ario comes out victor.

Shall I pronounce the time of death?

We should chase Arkrim to get an answer on the gloves issue, but my first response would be that it works like a spell storing ring, ie you cannot prepare it before battle. Or a permanent spell which you would cast the day before.

That was a ridiculously close match.  I am fine with closing out without the official results on the gloves, as it doesn't effect our match.

Ario has 1,427 BP, is CN and used no hero points.

Tinny Tina has 1503 BP, is N, and used no hero points.

WINNER
Ario (1427 BP) used 0 hero points

LOSER
Tinny Tina (1503 BP) used 0 hero points

DETAILS
Duration: 2 rounds.
Players: 2 players.

(2 rounds * 2 players * 2) + 15 = 23 BP (Total Rewards for Referee)

1506 * 90 / 1427 = 95 BP (Total Rewards for Winner, max reward for referee)

1427 * 30 / 1506 = 28 BP (Total Rewards for Loser, min reward for referee)
