Re: Team Monster Match #406 Survival - Antaeus

"That's a big one. Any ideas on how to take it down?" Nicodemus asks, seeming to be done reading the book he had been enjoying while Antaeus had been battling all this time. Quickly muttering a prayer, a spiritual flail of force appeared, striking at the creature, even as the agile bowman moved behind the pillar, away from the creature.

Hey, the Gladiator Masters (GMs for short) summoned up the beast. Perhaps a spell of Protection from Evil, which wards you against summoned creatures? Antaeus suggests.

Re: Team Monster Match #406 Survival - Antaeus

The remorhaz manages to get within range of Nivian. It bit him and attempted to hold him in its mouth.

Nivian you must beat a 24 grapple check or you are grappled. If you attempt to escape the grapple on your turn, the DC is 40. Also you may as well roll another grapple check to resist being swallowed on the Remorhaz's next turn, if you can't escape on your turn.

Re: Team Monster Match #406 Survival - Antaeus

Sorry I forgot this, but Antaeus needs to make two reflex saves, once for each time he struck the remorhaz with his greatsword. The DC is 21, and if he fails his weapon is destroyed.

Also Nico takes 52 (25 physical, 27 fire) damage the first round he is in the gizzard.

08:16, Today: GM Cassia Gaia, for the NPC Remorhaz, rolled 25,27 using 2d8+12,8d6. damage.

Squeezing:
In some cases, you may have to squeeze into or through an area that isn’t as wide as the space you take up. You can squeeze through or into a space that is at least half as wide as your normal space. Each move into or through a narrow space counts as if it were 2 squares, and while squeezed in a narrow space you take a -4 penalty on attack rolls and a -4 penalty to AC.

 Well, the 3d6+9 takes down Antaeus. Dead. May I ask where you got the added 10d6 from? And what book I can find these maneuvers in? Anything new I encounter, I try to read up on. It's been a big education for me, this arena game. Hell of a lot more published for 3.5 than existed in PHB, PHB II, and DMG.

Rabid Bear Strike

(Tome of Battle: The Book of Nine Swords, p. 88)

Tiger Claw (Strike)
Level: Swordsage 6 (Two Tiger Claw maneuvers), Warblade 6 (Two Tiger Claw maneuvers),
Components:
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Melee attack
Target: One creature

With a ferocious roar, you leap upon your enemy like a wild beast, slamming your weapon into her with a madman’s fury.
You focus your primal fury into a single attack, laying an opponent low with a mighty blow that splinters bones and shatters steel. As part of this maneuver, you make a single melee attack. You gain a +4 bonus on this attack roll and deal an extra 10d6 points of damage. After completing this maneuver, you take a –4 penalty to AC until the start of your next turn.


Tome of Battle is a very important book for martial characters, and is one of the last books published by WotC for 3.5

Antaeus:
CR 5,6,7,8: win
CR 9: loss

GP: 150*(5+6+7+8) = 3900
XP: 75*(5+6+7+8) = 1950

Nico:
CR 5,6,7: win
