Antaeus comes in with his Heavy Animated shield already aloft. He casts a spell, then quickly downs a potion. The latter causes him to fade from view.

Re: Duel #1220 - Riven v. Antaeus

Taking long strides into the arena, Riven bears little resemblance to her previous self. Her skin appears to be covered by a silvery, exotic material, giving her the appearance of being cast in molten metal. As she walks in, she drags her massive sword behind her, leaving a trail in the sand. "I do fear that I may be in a bit over my head, but I wish you good luck. I just hope you don't mind that I'm wishing myself more."

Re: Duel #1220 - Riven v. Antaeus

Knowledge: Local isn't for humanoids. That would be Nature or Arcane. No, Knowledge:Local is for Gladiators. All of them practice in a public area, and insights can be gleaned from observation.
Animal Affinity? Never heard of that. Is that a Psi power?
Is Ectoplasmic skin from the Psi handbook?
Oooh, Leading the attack. Warblade, too???

Lastly, is your greatsword a Large greatsword? Your intro seemed to indicate it might be.

quote:
Whenever you fight a creature, you can make a Knowledge check based on its type, as described on page 78 of the Player's Handbook, provided that you have at least one rank in the appropriate Knowledge skill.


quote:
Knowledge (Int; Trained Only)
Like the Craft and Profession skills, Knowledge actually encompasses a number of unrelated skills. Knowledge represents a study of some body of lore, possibly an academic or even scientific discipline.

Below are listed typical fields of study.

...
Local (legends, personalities, inhabitants, laws, customs, traditions, humanoids)
...


Fairly specific wording, I would think. Also, vigor, animal affinity, and the ectoplasmic skins are psionic, yes. And no, it's not a large greatsword, Riven's just short. It's probably just a toothpick to you, mister goliath. :P

Re: Duel #1220 - Riven v. Antaeus

Riven is indeed a member of a naturally psionic race. Go ahead and roll for that, then. Also, keep in mind I have See Invisibility up, so that might affect things. Are you within line of sight of my starting position?

You do not have line-of-sight yet. I don't know if there is a max distance on your 'see invisible' or not, though.

Riven stalks forwards carefully, activating the crystal wand again and searching for her foe.
