Bruhli swung his midnight black greatsword at the alchemist. “GOTCHA!!!” But the alchemist was still standing. And like the cowardly bird he knew her to be, the alchemist (which is a good book) took flight! Bruhli stared at Tinny Tina in anger. His muscles bulged and elemental energy began to spark around his arms until a green energy flowed around the barbarian. Bruhli was about to strike back hard against a coward, but as he went to move he was engulfed by fire and was unable move! Bruhli flexes his muscles and appears to break free from the glue. “TINA! HOW ARE YOU GOING TO PROVE YOUR STRENGTH UP THERE!!?”

DICE ROLLS: - 17:53, Today: Bruhli rolled 28 using 1d20+14 with rolls of 14.  Power attack, greatsword AOO.
- 18:00, Today: Bruhli rolled 29 using 2d6+22 with rolls of 5,2.  AOO power attack damage.
- 17:59, Today: Bruhli rolled 13 using 1d20+11 with rolls of 2.  Reflex v. DC20. Fail.
- 18:11, Today: Bruhli rolled 18 using 1d20+9 with rolls of 9.  Reflex save DC10. Pass.
- 18:57, Today: Bruhli rolled 21 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 13.  DC17 strength check as move action to break tanglefoot.


   SUMMARY: - Bruhli is stuck to the floor, but breaks free. Tiny Tina takes 29 dmg from AOO. Also, my energy resistance kicked in that's why your bomb's damage was less.

OOC: Reading the tanglefoot bomb, tanglefoot bag, and the entangled conditions together, it appears I can make a DC17 strength check to break free as a move action.

Finally, I think the height for the small arena is 25ft?

You are right about the height limit, but I'must not sure how you got a move action for the strength check

OOC: Tanglefoot bag allows me to make a DC17 strength check to break free. Granted, it doesn't say whether it is a move or a standard. Seeing as it is an entangling effect, I decided to check around the Entangle spell (which it imitates). The entangle spell says you can break free with a strength check as a move action. I'll admit that it's not entirely on point, but it is the closest thing I could find to this situation.

Entangled creatures can attempt to break free as a move action, making a Strength or Escape Artist check.

Are you around Tinny?

Well, since it's been six days since the last combat post

and almost five days since the last rules discussion post,

I would like to call the 48 hour rule.

OOC: Tinny Tina takes the total defense action.

Bruhli stared up at Tinny. She stood there, unmoving. Perhaps stunned by Bruhli’s massive strength. Bruhli didn’t care. He then did something no one had seen before. Until now, people only saw his elemental assault. Now it was time to unleash his second elemental power. In the acidic energy that already flowed around his arms, sparks of fire appeared until it erupted in equal measure. The red and green energy began to mix and until Bruhli’s arms were surrounded by a yellow acidic flame. Bruhli had to hurry. He couldn’t keep this elemental form long. Gripping his sword Bruhli moved, but not across the ground. He moved through the air. “TINA!!! THIS IS WHERE YOU FALL!!!” Unfortunately Bruhli's attack went wide. He screamed in rage!

   SUMMARY: - Bruhli activates another power and moves toward Tinny Tina and attacks. He misses.


OOC: Does the total defense grant you a +4 or a +6? Also, I moved you to +5 because that is the max height in the small arena. I hope that's okay.

I get +6 to AC from Total Defense


Tinny Tina grins impishly at Bruhli as he messes up his swing, and bombards him with bombs.

In reply to Tinny Tina:

Welcome back! I think you forgot to subtract the 29 from AOO. I may use a hero point. I'll get my turn up after work.

So I did. That leaves me at 35 HP

Bruhli falls out of the sky after the alchemist's furious assault. After he falls, he decides to hit himself to shake of the confusion. It doesn’t work.

22:43, Today: Bruhli rolled 65 using 1d100 with rolls of 65.  Confusion %.

Summary of rolls: 1, 7, 2, 7, 14, 1, 5


   SUMMARY: - Falls.

OOC: For some reason, Bruhli just doesn’t roll well :P Also, I rolled too many dice on the falling dmg. Let me know if you want me to reroll those. As of now, I just marked out the extra die.

OOC: Actually Tinny, a few quick questions. First, if you are using confusion bombs, would the damage be 2d6 less for each? Second, I don't see anywhere that says it targets a will save. It doesn't have a save. So I assume you added a Will save because there are no auto-effects in the arena. Still, unless it has been approved by a GM, I'm not sure you can use it. Though, you may have already run the idea by a GM in a PM. If so, then my only quibble is with the bomb damage.

Whoops, you're right about the bomb damage.

00:16, Today: Tinny Tina rolled 24 using 4d6+7 with rolls of 5,6,2,4.  Confuson bomb 1, real damage.
00:16, Today: Tinny Tina rolled 19 using 4d6+7 with rolls of 1,1,5,5.  Confuson bomb 2, real damage.

In that case, you only took 48 damage total, and the first and second fly checks are DC 24 and 22 respectively.

However, Confusion Bomb definitely has a Will save
http://paizo.com/paizo/faq/v5748nruor1fz#v5748eaic9rbh

Also, don't forget that since you're also nauseated.

OOC: Also, wait just a second to take your turn. I may actually spend a hero point to reroll the fort save v. nausea. But first, I have a question about arena immunities. I already read the house rule, which kind of generated this question.If we are affected by a condition when we are above 1/2 hp and are later reduced below half, do immunities stop working against that initial effect? Or do arena immunities stop working when we are targeted by an effect while already below half hp?

Bruhli's HP = 97 = 142 - 33 from bombs (I have resistance 10) - 7 (Hitting self reduced by DR) - 5 (Falling damage. I only should have rolled one dice. I took the highest to be fair).

The arena immunities rule is crystal-clear.

quote:

Several special immunities are granted while you have 50% or more of your current max HP:

When you're at >=50% health, you have immunities. When you're below 50%, you lose them. When the status was inflicted is irrelevant.

OOC: Facially, yes, but I want to make sure the GMs considered this distinction when drafting the rule. In pathfinder, when effects are generated matter.

OOC: Tinny's interpretation is correct. One of the tactics one can use is to afflict a target with a devastating condition that lasts only every other round and then whittle them down rather than whittling them down and then using the devastating affliction. This gives the person adding the condition at least "every other round" to have an advantage while the target has to think of a way to overcome it. This puts more strategy into the game. Slightly less "lucky shot" and slightly more "you have X rounds to figure something out".

Now that that's settled



   ROUND: Round 4 (15)

   USES: lv1 extracts 7/7, lv2 extracts 6/6, lv3 extracts 3/4, mutagen 1/1, bombs 8/15


DICE ROLLS: 21:07, Today: Tinny Tina rolled 30,26 using 1d20+12,6d6+7 with rolls of 18,6,3,3,2,1,4.  Stink Bomb + Unstable Accelerant, Bomb 1 vs. TAC 10.
            21:08, Today: Tinny Tina rolled 30,29 using 1d20+12,6d6+7 with rolls of 18,4,5,5,2,1,5.  Stink Bomb + Unstable Accelerant, Bomb 2 vs. TAC 10.
            21:08, Today: Tinny Tina rolled 19,32 using 1d20+7,6d6+7 with rolls of 12,6,4,6,5,1,3.  Stink Bomb + Unstable Accelerant, Bomb 3 vs. TAC 10.

            21:11, Today: Tinny Tina rolled 4 using 1d4+1 with rolls of 3.  Stinking cloud nauseated duration 2.
            21:11, Today: Tinny Tina rolled 3 using 1d4+1 with rolls of 2.  Stinking cloud nauseated duration 3.
   SUMMARY: Bruhli takes another 57 fire damage after resistance, and must make 3 DC 20 Fort saves or be nauseated while in the cloud and for another (2/4/3) rounds (depending on saves failed)

OOC: We've also had this conversation about the nauseated cloud. Moving in and out of the cloud doesn't add more than one affliction or stack duration. You just take the single highest affliction's duration after all saves are made. So if he fails the saving throw against the one that lasts 4 rounds, the other saving throws are unnecessary.

Thought I'd go ahead and mention that just in case it SAVES you time and CONFUSION (lol).

Bruhli hits himself again. Apparently Bruhli was fated to lose this fight.
