Iona isn't with us, and I didn't actually see Diata giving us any temporary HPs, so I don't think so?

I've just been using my own two separate abilities to give myself temporary HPs.

In reply to Halasik (msg # 217):

Yes you did. You even mentioned in your buffs, "120 temp HPs from Diata".

Haha, ok so I did see it, and then it fell out of the leaky bucket I call my brain.

GM: can I decide which temporary HPs are lost first if the rules don't otherwise say?

My nature's carapace HPs are explicitly lost first, but I'd prefer that berserk is lost before Diata's since they refill every round, but the rules don't clarify.

Sorry, I somehow missed that I was supposed to make to-hit rolls a couple of posts ago.  Added them to the relevant post, but for ease of reference here too.


20:40, Today: Verik rolled 32 using 4d20 with rolls of 8,6,7,11.  to-hit rolls, each at +24.

In reply to Halasik (msg # 219):

I'm fine with letting you decide the order in which you lose the Temp HP where the rules allow for some leeway.

Also, Diata, I made a mistake with the blast - failing the Fort save leaves you staggered, not stunned. I mixed the two up in my head.

Got it. How long does the condition persist?

...and I just realized that I need to set up a standard list of prepared formulae, too. Oh well.

Staggered for one round, just as the stunned would have lasted. I literally just wrote down the wrong word.

I still have convenient from September's storm, yes?

Concealment you mean? I think you still have it, but I'm not sure if it applies against Darts.

I don't think it does, due to the fact the darts target a line, and roll against you if you're occupying a square that is in that line, and that single one roll applies to each creature on the line. The rules don't say, but unless you have an argument, I'm inclined to say that, since the dart is a trap, it ignores things like concealment.

So... you have a good argument for why it should apply?

Concealment is what I meant, sorry.

I didn't realize that's how the dart works, just saw the attack roll and assumed concealment would apply. No worries.

Everyone does have a 50% miss chance (doesn't call it concealment, though it does stack with the concealment from fog) as long as there's precipitation, which is currently held at a 7 (experienced as 4 by the party).  But...

In reply to Supervisor of reality (msg # 225):
I was tempted to make an argument at first-- I've never heard of something that uses attack rolls and ignores concealment (without, say, the Guided property specifically saying "ignores concealment").  And I'm not 100% convinced that "Mist Form's" miss chance is actually concealment to begin with.

But then I realized-- you normally handle this by saying the same rules apply to everyone, PC and NPC.  So I think this is to our advantage long-term-- we're establishing that Diata's Darts ignore concealment, right?

I mean, Trap Wielder feels like something that would obey concealment, but that's just a feeling. I do need to be able to point the line.

Also a note on the noose: How high is the mirror's Craft (traps)? Mine is 15, or 20 with the Attunement.

The mirror borrows your stats, so it's using your save DC as noted on your sheet - I think what you're saying here is that the DC on your sheet is 3 points short?

And yeah, September, if I rule one way for the enemy, I rule the same way for you, absolutely. That said, I do see what you're saying - if mist form is not concealment but rather some form of incorporeality, then it should apply. I misunderstood the nature of the power.

11:29, Today: Supervisor of reality rolled 7 using 1d20 with rolls of 7.  30% miss chance (hit on 7+).

Seems like the attack hits anyway.

Actually, I was asking because if it uses my trapcraft, the noose effect immediately applies 5 rounds of suffocation.

Yes, but Noose has a save first, and only applies it if the target fails the save. Or do you have an ability that removes the save?

No, just making an added note to what you said in the thread.

Supervisor,  did you take into account the cold damage September dealt to all the mirrors?

In reply to September (msg # 233):

I fear I might have missed that. Point it out to me, if you could?

Standard: Create Cold 6 in a carefully-drawn region that covers the visible remaining mirrors but does not spill out of the building.  Everything in this circle takes 6 cold damage per round (no save).  If the mirrors count as objects, this damage is doubled, not halved, before applying hardness

Indeed, I missed that! That gives you an extra 12 damage, doesn't it? Which is then reduced to 5 by the mirror's 8 hardness - leaving the mirrors all at 8 HP, and they'll all go down to 3 at the end of next turn. I'll update the math in my post to reflect that.

I think it's interesting how much hardness is increasing the durability of what are, overall, a bunch of unbuffed HP 25 enemies.

Fortunately, the remaining mirrors can't regain martial focus, while I can <3

Can't they? There's a lot of ways to spend a move action to regain Martial Focus, and it's not like the mirrors are using their move action for anything else. How confident are you that none of the three of you has that kind of ability on hand?

I mean that they would have to be active first to take, y'know, actions. :)

I see! That's a very valid point.

Yeah. Expending martial focus is part of a save, regaining it requires you to do something.

Of course, they still have x1 Martial Focus left because I have Great Focus.
