Re: Mezzarn Vs Lyssander the Pale
ok, A divine focus need not be held or presented, but must be carried/Worn... but now that you point some of this out, I will need to revisit the whole question of Divine Focus for Mezz. So in the interum, Consider the following:
1) Since I can still see you and I'm not directing the Spiritual weapon to a new target, no move action is required. Freeing the move action to "sheathe" the Hammer. (This action would cause him to be open to an AoO)
2) Since he intends to cast a spell, and may very well continue to do so, freeing that hand would be appropriate, and thus given the restrictions, not something he could have done with his harhammer in hand (at least until a few things are answered. I think he should but you make good points here.)
So I would like to change the actions (not the order of the actions) for round 8 to the following:
Round 8:
[Free] 5 Foot Step
[Move] Sheathe Hammer
[Standard] Cast Inflict Moderate wounds
DC 17 Cast Defensively, Rolled 23 success
Touch attack misses, Spell held
Since I am inside your reach, you cannot use the chain in an AoO, if you have some other method of a normal attack, feel free. The spiritual weapon would move with you and attack as per normal spell, however since it missed, no big deal. The casting of the spell is still done defensively.
If that works for you, I will post round 9 actions.
