I agree with Phelan, when scoring crits the primary attack/effect's rolls are maximixed.  Secondary effects and such or attacks that happen after/later the first do not experience this bonus unless they crit as well.

Also, Phelan your do not have to take the necrotic damage in the NEW round, as the attack that caused it was in the previous round, PRIOR to your turn THAT round and I rolled for you on the save and saved against it during the previous round (I make rolls for you guys when effects happen because of resolutions of your turns which are not taken into account by your posts).  So in short in round 4 you don't take 5 ongoing necrotic damage nor do you have to save against it.

No, no. I meant in the event I just killed the Vengeful Spirit I hit now. Presuming it bursts with Ongoing Damage for everyone before being  shoved away.

Thanks Phelan and Author ^^

However:



I am still not clear whether or not this would mean Dire Radiance's secondary damage roll would maximise or not.  It happens later (on the enemy's turn), so - as read - it would not maximise (which is fine).  However, there is also no attack roll. It hits automatically, so cannot 'crit as well'.

@Phelan:  Oh right!

@Author: Please say I shoved it away first? :3

Right!  Here we go!

So I just remembered something that might be useful. Phelan has a climb speed.I have to find a way to use this effectively.

I've even seen it used.  We had a narayan sorceress once who scaled the wall of a fortress.

Oh and we are getting close to the 1,000 post limit per thread, so once we get there I'll open a new OCC board, I'll archive the old one.  ;3

So, I have been thinking of a new character if Willa dies.  I had one prepared before but it was another striker and thought I might try a different role out instead, should the unthinkable happen.

Anyway, I have a couple of questions:

Musadi have a base move of 5, does this become 4 if they wear heavy armour?

The new sub-types (e.g. weaver) - do you need to spend a 'feat' to purchase them?  I wouldn't have thought so, but they are listed under Racial Feats.  Also, if you do, what happens if you retrain it later?

Thanks :)

Considering a Musadi warden as backup here in case Jubei ends up biting it. The shifting coils thing seems pretty good considering how Warden's tend to have a lot of stickiness already.

I actually chatted with our Author for a bit, I've got an Ulh Ardent lined up in the unlikely event that Phelan falls. I've decided to stop cowering away from Power Points.

I am thinking of changing how the weavers work, as the whole retraining thing had come to mind to me before.  Much like the Ehuron there will be a divergence with the Weavers from the norm on how races are usually presented and treated in 4th edition, so expect a major edit to the Weavers to come out soon.

XD  There is alot of talk about people DYING in this game.  Sheesh.  I didn't know I was a Killer GM!

And yes Musadi get weighed down by heavy armour.  Low speed is intended to be one of the main drawbacks about the large races.

I'm sitting here doing the math for my healing surge thingy and I can only think "Me can count so poor" :|

We totally stole Jubei's kills.

It's not like he could do much, considering how he was blind and dazed most of the fight xD

XD So was Phelan, remember! Then again, Burst attacks  are sort of made of several layers of awesome.

"Why would you take Thundering Armor?"
"So I don't provoke an attack of opportunity when I use an at-will?"

Seriously. It's the only at-will a ranged Artificer,  can use without provoke an attack of opportunity. Everything else is a weapon power, or a ranged power. The whole "and no total concealment penalty" is just a bonus on top of that.

@Author - The upgrade to Drex's axe was awesome :)

Also, I don't suppose Willa's temp HP offsets the need for her to spend a healing surge? :P I know, I know, greedy of me to ask, since she did not take a single point of damage in the whole encounter, but if you don't ask you don't get!

Thanks Willa!  And no, temp hp does not cover this loss.

@Author: Wow thank you very much! :3
I'll post a little later, just running around like a chicken without a head here at work.

Apparently Willa did take a little damage in that fight at some point ^^ Oh well, character sheet updated, 3 less hp and 1 surge down.

@Willa:  Ah yes!  That one Fleeting Shadow I think.

Also just returned from seeing guardians of the galaxy.  So glad that the narayan race will not be any form of copyright infringement.  I also give the movie a Must See recommendation.

@Drex, Jubei: Hey guys. Remember Curative Admixture does not cause you to spend surges when you're healed by it. The surges are already 'paid' at their creation (hence why Phelan is ominously approaching Jubei with the syringe).

@All: Remember that you all have a magic item with a daily power on it. As per Phelan's existence as an Artificer, remember that using a daily item power will grant you his Intelligence modifier + 1/2 level in Temporary Hit Points (in this case, 6).

Thus why they are my favorite leadership class.  And you guys need to decide what you are going to do about finding your foe.

@ Author:
I have updated Willa's item wish list.

@ Everyone:
The treasury thread says that we have an accumulated wealth of:

Wealth 0 | Fame 3 | Fortune 3

This is the same as the reward form the quarry fight. As far as I am aware, the only transaction we made up to this point was 12 tokens on 6 potions at Vito's.  So am I right in thinking that before the quarry fight, we had no tokens at all?

Anyway, I think we should be considering how to spend our wealth.  Spending on potions is fine, but the rarity of tokens makes me think they would be better used on permanent items.  And maybe it is just me but, as the tokens belong to everyone, I find it difficult to ask for some to spend.  So, I think we should have a shopping list.  We each get to add one item to this list and once they have all been bought, we write a new one.  The item you choose for each list should be drawn from your character's wishlist.  I'll start and, if you agree, post your own or advise why you think it is a dumb idea ^^.  If everyone agrees, I'll collate the items and make a post on the treasury thread which I will update as items are purchased and new lists written.

Oh, I also think we should keep a small reserve 'banked' for emergency items, such as potions and other things.

Shopping list, 1st draft (to be moved to the treasury at a later date, if everyone agrees):

Bank: 2 tokens
Cash on Hand: 4 tokens

Willa's request: Accurate Rod of Corruption (level 3)
Current Cost: 4 tokens.
Cost at next level: 2 tokens.
Purchase preference: Next level (for reduction in cost)

To help spread the wealth, it may be worth adding in a condition that if you find an item of random loot that you will use, your request is removed from the current list?

As an aside - is there any reason 'NOT' to make the weapon/implement you purchase a superior version, even if you do not have the correct feat for using it?  As I understand things, without the feat it is effectively just a normal version of the item anyway, so there is no drawback?

Whoops, I forgot to update the treasury thread.  You have actually twice that Willa.

And I'd approve of your wish list thingy.  Because then you can buy some of the items you want and find the others.  :o
