Re: Team Monster Match #406 Survival - Antaeus and Nicodemus

Nicodemus strolls into the arena, ignoring the crowd, and casting a couple of spells as he does so, 1 from a wand, and another with an amulet around his neck.

Then, with the sound of another spell being intoned, Nicodemus looks to their first opponent.

"I will attack from range Antaeus...

Re: Team Monster Match #406 Survival - Antaeus and Nicodemus

Nicodemus, bow in hand, swiftly moved up to the corner to peer at their foe. "Large, cat-like creature." he calls back over his shoulder as the creature comes into view. He sits at the corner there and waits saying, "I'll try to kite it around here, dropping some caltrops." he says, pulling out a bag from a pouch on his belt.

Letting the caltrops fall from his hand, Nicodemus, bow in hand, casually flips away from the large creature as it approaches. Once at the corner he smoothly knocks an arrow and fires it at the beast. Then, even more quickly he runs back along the opposite pillar.

Re: Team Monster Match #406 Survival - Antaeus and Nicodemus

I don't think either of you have resist fire active:

Kitty Died:
Antaeus Free Round - retrieve and drink potion of Bull's Strength
Nicodemus Free Round - cast shield on Antaeus

Hydra Spawned - Nico, Hydra, Antaeus

Nicodemus's Turn - Antaeus never offered you a potion, as he never had the actions to do it.
Antaeus - Quick Cast is a swift action, not an immediate. When the hydra breathes on you, you don't have the Resist Energy active.

Hydra - breathed fire

Antaeus - cast resist energy and channeled spell.

Re: Team Monster Match #406 Survival - Antaeus and Nicodemus

Well, since I couldn't Drink a potion (No consumables), could we say I held my action until the monster spawned? That would allow me the time for the Quick-cast. Otherwise, I'm dead.
Also, don't you need ranged attacks for all 5 breath weapons? From where I was, I probably had full cover against at least one or two heads.

Re: Team Monster Match #406 Survival - Antaeus and Nicodemus

OOC:I'm still trying to figure out what I could prepare in place of not having shield as a consumable, but I'm technically not in the fire. I didn't update the map properly with my position, but I DID update it in the movement section of my post. I and Antaeus are on opposite sides of the board.

Given that I'm not sure if I'm going to be allowed to replace a spell choice since I wasn't allowed to use my wand (or caltrops either, right? Those count as consumables?) I'd like that clarified. Either way though, I can try and kite this thing all day. Not sure how smart it is, but as long as I stay 40 feet away from it, this will be a very long fight that still winds up with me losing since i can't do enough damage to kill it to get through its fast healing. Even if I get it down to zero, I've got nothing prepped to stop it from healing. *sigh*

Best policy would be to not include the map in your post then. The visual map is easier to use to see everyone, so posting an un-updated version is just asking people to mistake where you are.

Once we resolve this issue of action, I will change the hydra's action to reflect your actual position.

quote:
(No consumables)

Where's it say that? I check the PM thread and this thread, didn't see anyone specify no consumables.

quote:
Also, don't you need ranged attacks for all 5 breath weapons?

Breath weapons are AoE. You're either in the area or you're not, there's no attack roll.

quote:
From where I was, I probably had full cover against at least one or two heads.

D&D does not differentiate between where the heads are relative to the body. Cover is calculated by positions of the occupied squares.
As it is, Hydra heads are serpentine. They could just as easily extend into any place within reach and breath from there, denying you any cover at all. But that's not how hydras or breath weapons work, so I'm not doing that.

I don't see why you couldn't pick them up afterwards. I think we also have free mundane (non-masterwork) arrow replacement, so caltrops could probably fit under that as well.

Given that I'm not sure if I'm going to be allowed to replace a spell choice since I wasn't allowed to use my wand

Just listing this to let you know I saw it, but lets figure out where the 'no consumables' bit came from first.

Re: Team Monster Match #406 Survival - Antaeus and Nicodemus

No consumables is the default rule in all Survival matches as per the Arenas and Fight Ideas rules. Obviously these default rules can be modified. The Survival match purpose is to see how long a gladiator/gladiators can survive without additional aid via items. The fight closure process and GP/xp rewards in theory reflect the difficulty of these matches without consumables.

-

Location trumps map according to our written rules but it does make things confusing and require edits when there's conflict.

-

Caltrops cost 1gp and therefore fit into the rule that they're regenerated after a battle. Only buy more than one if you want to use them in one battle.

Was not aware of this, thank you!

Since we are all now aware of the no consumables, how about we just revert to back when the lion died and start the new monster over? You can redo the free round you get after the lion died, and you'll get a new monster. Sound good?

Unfortunately there is no such action as a "held" action. You can "ready" or "delay" but holding isn't a thing.

Sounds good.  Go ahead and post up, and the monster will continue.  Nico will continue to take defensive action until either A) he posts or B) he dies.

You'll at least get the benefit of having a decoy in the arena :-)

A six legged lion-like creature which has a body made of writhing vines and thorns enters the arena.  Each of its gorilla-like pairs of limbs is slightly shorter than the pair in front of it.  Long thorns protrude from every part of the creature's body making it seem impossible to approach or move around the creature without risking serious injury.

Re: Team Monster Match #406 Survival - Antaeus

OOC: From PHB-
Big Creatures and Cover
Any creature with a space larger than 5 feet (1 square) determines cover against melee attacks slightly differently than smaller creatures do. Such a creature can choose any square that it occupies to determine if an opponent has cover against its melee attacks. Similarly, when making a melee attack against such a creature, you can pick any of the squares it occupies to determine if it has cover against you.

If I can strike the creature, and it has no cover against me, doesn't that mean that it also ISN'T protected against AoOs, either?

Nico isn't helpless, he's just not doing anything.

The plant creature tanks the greatsword hits, though still taking full damage, and proceeded to try and whomp on Antaeus some more, but it had been knocked off balance and missed with both swings.

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.

The remorhaz dies. You have one free round before fighting a CR 9

Re: Team Monster Match #406 Survival - Antaeus

Antaeus, knowing this wasn't likely to last very long now, dropped down and alighted atop the pillar at F6(5' movement). He then goes into into Total Defense until he can figure out how to approach this new threat.

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.

What's a Rabid Bear Strike? And how can you Teleport (Standard action) AND attack (standard action)?

Re: Team Monster Match #406 Survival - Antaeus

Rabid Bear Strike is a martial maneuver.
Teleporting also happens to be a martial maneuver and is a move action.

Re: Team Monster Match #406 Survival - Antaeus

 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.

Re: Team Monster Match #406 Survival - Antaeus

quote:
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
CR 8: loss

GP = 2700
XP = 1350
