Of course!  :D

Sorry, time for a newbie question:

Do racial attack powers (aka Psychic Parasite) get +1/2 level to the attack roll?

And another question. Given that Jubei is still blind and dazed, he's not going to do much in the ways of defending...

Unlessssss he pops the daily utility and slaps a divine sanction on pretty much everything around. Shall I? :|

@Iron Jubei, unless I am very much mistaken most of the creatures around you are 1 hit 1 kill.  Do you have any close 1 aoe attacks or similar?

Regardless, my vote would be to not use your daily just yet.  But then Willa is kind of sitting pretty at the moment.  Phelan and Drex may have very different opinions.

I have an encounter power which allows me to apply divine sanction in a burst 3, but that requires me to hit first before that applies and with a -5 to hit it's a bit... iffy to pull off I dare say.

I dunno.  Don't want to dictate your actions, but if I was in your place (aside from moaning no end about annoying debuffs), I think I would try Dragon's Fury.  I know it seems bad using your only action in a turn on a minor ability, but its a pretty potent one imo.  Still, it is up to you :)

Anyway, the character builder seems to include 1/2 level in racial powers (checked on the Genasi), so I will include it in my roll.

@Author:

I do not know if it will help you, but I have put my amendments to the combat tracker in brown to try and make them stand out and be easier for you to check.

(I would have used orange since Willa is orange, but it does not show up very well).

Call of Challenge might also be advisable now. We know the initiates were one-hit kill, not the shades that erupted from them. Plus as a burst 3 around Jubei, that should catch pretty much everything fighting us (including,  if they're in range, the acolytes that keep playing hit and run). Except FSI (inside rock, breaking line of effect). As it's an encounter utility, it might be the best option, even if it's only a minor.

I don't know what that is but it sounds cool too. :)

EDIT: Okay found that on the compendium.  Yup its good :)  Only not sure how it works with Dazed?  DO enemies affected by the challenge get -2 to attack rolls for attacking targets other than Jubei?  Can Jubei use his power to attack a target that attacks an ally whilst, even if he has used this power in a round?

I don't know the answer to that, haven't played a Paladin before.

@Author is the battle map correct enemy positions correct or is the post's positions correct? There seems to be one inconsistency but I will assume the battle map is correct. And I don't understand: If aI is Immobilized why did it move? Or was it a teleport ability that they used?

And what is your ruling on the perception checks to find hidden enemies, I know we spoke about it yesterday but you didn't tell me what your decision was on it. I saw an online ruling where is was treated as a minor action but a standard action is also understandably.

And the racial power Vital Surge stats: Does the regeneration last until the regeneration total hitpoints equal to or higher then your bloodied value or until your hitpoints equal to or higher then your bloodied value?

@Willa: I like the way you post hope you don't mind me copping you. X3

@All: the reason for my strange post was to set out the mechanics for consuming a potion in battle. I read it on a form and thought I first post it like this to see if you agree whit it.

Damnit, I should keep closer eyes on my powers. Didn't realize that Call of Challenge was an encounter power, rather than a daily one. So going to pop that bugger then.

Its mine! Mine I say!

^^

Of course I don't mind.

I am just trying to find a good way to present the information, primarily for our fantastic Author.

And all of a sudden we all seem to post like that xD
Not that uniformity would be bad. At least in this case it won't be.

I was rather busy this past Thursday so I skipped my post for that day, I'll of course be making my post today, and I'll get to work on it asap after I've caught up on all the events here.

On perception checks in battle, to just try and NOTICE something I'd say is a Free Action, like most knowledge checks.  But actively SEARCHING for something would be a standard action and only applies to the squares immediately adjacent to you.  To notice something may be harder when you have hidden opponents the SEARCHING for it.  And once you spot and enemy you can tell your buds giving them a bonus to NOTICE the target.

Good news! I finally have some breathing space with my major  project! I should be faster to post now.

@Phelan:  Glad to hear!

On another note, would y'all be so kind as to SPECIFY who's colours are WHO's in the googledoc?  Easiest way to do that is to make you char NAME that colour.  o3o Would make my life a bit easier.

Drex is Yellow and Midagarra is green. I only added the color because every one else was doing it. X3

I don't how to multiple colors in on block every time I changed it all the colors changed, but I really don't think that is a problem.

Jubei is gonna be blue, although gold would technically be more fitting, but that's hard to read on the grey background... not that blue is that much better :|

Phelan is Dark red

I just noticed/wondered. Feat based AC boni don't stack, do they? Like when Drex gets +2 AC for not wearing armour from that Unarmoured Agility feat, he wouldn't also get +1 AC from my Devout Protector Expertise right? Neither would Willa with her Rod Expertise?

Phelan has no feat bonus though, so he'd get +1 AC there at least <.<

\o/

In reply to Iron Jubei (msg # 943):

I know we had this discussion before, but I can't really remember the outcome.  I *thought* it was the type of bonus that mattered not the source.  For example, rod expertise gives a shield bonus and devout gives a shield bonus so they don't stack.

Confirmed with Character builder.  Willa gets AC bonus from rod expertise and unarmoured agility.

Unarmoured agility is a feat bonus to AC, whereas rod expertise is a +1 shield bonus to AC granted by a feat.

Confusing, but the the heart of the matter is only Willa is not benefitting from +1 AC for devout, which also grants a shield bonus, just like rod expertise.  May be even Midagarra gets it?

Good that I understand the feats I'm taking so well xD
Thanks for clearing that up tho :D

So I am pretty sure curse damage is not maximised by a crit (as it is described as additional damage and the rules state additional damage is rolled even on a crit), but what about the secondary effect of Dire Radiance?  If a1 now moves closer to Willa, does it take the rolled damage (5), or would it also be maximised (10)?

If Midagarra has Hafted Defence, then she would be getting a shield bonus as well. No feat bonuses though, she's wearing Hide. But Companions are odd anyway.

And yes Willa has the right of it. Keywords are important. That's why I specify that Phelan is giving out a Power bonus to AC, as bonuses of the same keyword do not stack (hence why Phelan's Thundering Armor does not stack with Midagarra's Barkskin). Bonuses without a keyword (referred to a miscellaneous bonuses) do, however, stack.

As for the crit...



-4E  PHB FAQ - http://wizards.custhelp.com/ap...ers/detail/a_id/1396

So your curse damage would actually be maximised (the examples that have been given in the past are Hunter's  Quarry and Sneak Attack). Not sure about the secondary damage though, but a strict reading of that quote would mean that 'yes you do'. GMs discretion for that I imagine.

Also the 'Extra Damage' refers to 'extra damage rolled on a crit', e.g the bonuses you would get for an enchanted weapon/implement.

Edit: Also yay. I'm free of being blinded and dazed. Hopefully for the rest of the encounter.
