Good to have you back.
GM had some important questions up there to which it might be good to have your answers for ^^

Re: Out of Character thread III

Wait so... is Karalel at N3? On the map it looks like there are enemies at U15 and P6.

Errmmm.... Vnyth had moved him to N3 with Freezing Burst. #452

GM copy-pasted Vynth's move. #453
Kanaren actually moved to P6... Not shown in thw table... I also die not see and correct it in #454.

The fellow at U15 is the dead wight.

Okay, so Karalel is in P6! I can work with that!

Rotten Dice Roller !!!
Two 1s in a row !

The Incendiary Detonation is the aqua square... but it only affects enemies anyway... so at least Kalarel suffers 2 fire damage as he starts his next turn inside... yeah, awesome :-(

Re: Out of Character thread III

Divine Challenge:
The mark also ends at the end of your turn if you didn't engage the target, meaning you neither attacked it during your turn nor are adjacent to it at the end of your turn.
...
The damage a marked target takes for violating a hybrid paladin's divine challenge is reduced. The damage equals the hybrid paladin's Charisma modifier
Neither... nor... does imply both criteria must be met, right ?
So that mark ended immediately at the end of Warfryn's turn ??? What was it good for then ???

No, only one criteria must be met, which he did by attacking.

That's not correct language then.
Neither Italy nor France got to the quarter finals last year.
The less formal alternative is to use and … not … either:
Italy didn’t get to the quarter finals last year and France didn’t either.

Well, somehow I figured out what it meant, so it's at least adequate.

Re: Out of Character thread III

Hello, everyone! I will be your new healer and attack handout guy. Working on my sheet and background now, but look for more from me soon.

The most important question for you all is: who among you has good melee or ranged basic attacks? My planned build was going to be a guy who hands out attacks & charges. If nobody here has a worthy melee basic, I may switch gears :-)

Re: Out of Character thread III

In reply to Greyband (msg # 43):

Welcome. Stahl started out as a beastmaster, with both ranged and melee attacks. Those proved a bit cumbersome (I still love the beastmaster concept, but I need to rethink my approach) so I chose the two-blade fighting option, though Stahl is still split between melee and ranged. So, neither my melee nor ranged basic attacks are optimized.

But, that's just me. Warfryn has eldritch blast which is a fine basic ranged attack, and Ignatz is at least a little more optimized than Stahl for melee attacks.

So, your idea could probably work fine. Feel free to roll any of the attacks you grant Stahl. You can even have him shoot his magical arrows, if you want.

Ignatz is a raging barbarian. About as melee as they get.

Welcome.
Take your time, I don't think we will meet you down here in the Keep just yet... unless Kalarel has you strapped on the altar for a sacrifice ^^

Re: Out of Character thread III

I added "cursed" to Kalarel's status.

With the amount we're missing attacks in this fight, some DMs would be tempted to take it easy on us, by fudging the enemy's rolls and tactics. I'm not aware of our Storyteller ever having done this, and I'm glad since my preference is that DMs not do this for me.

As I've probably mentioned, I'm okay with Stahl being killed, if that's the only way for a PC to fail here. I've always got other concepts I'd like to try.

Edit: I also ended Warfryn's invisibility which stemmed from eyebite more than a turn ago. I have to say I like the idea of divine challenge plus eyebite, assuming one is able to hit the target regularly.

In reply to Warfryn (msg # 48):

I've seen fights with real dice go pretty much the same way.

I will say that if I'm going to miss, I prefer to miss big, bigger than even a ton of optimization could have fixed.

Re: Out of Character thread III

Hello Greyband! Ignatz's basic attack is +9 to hit and it deals 2d6(reroll 1s)+6 damage. If it's a charge that's an extra +1 damage, if one of those d6s comes up 6, the attack does an extra +2 damage. So, yes please hahaha.

Re: Out of Character thread III

Ignatz, you pretty much just guaranteed yourself the melee hits, barring exceptional tactical situations :-)

Warfryn, you have a good ranged basic?

Which might seem on the low side for an attack bonus, except that it targets Reflex.

I'd like Saskan to move into flank, Commander's Strike or Lead the Attack, and heal me, but I don't know what powers he has left to use so I can't post his actions myself.

No healing left, he used both already.
So second wind or potions are your options.

That said, he can provide the attacks, and I can do that now?
