Keira moves up the stairs, stopping next to Rebecca, as Gnash moves a bit to the East, hoping to prevent any attempt at escape. Endurance charges forward, swinging his hammer at the Goblin as he rushes the beast; the hammer misses, but he brings his head down, connecting with his horns! The...

Figured as much, FF. You don't need to post in that case. However, still waiting on Skarsgard. I'll give him until tomorrow morning before I just NPC him this round!

Boddynock was almost too involved in eating his breakfast to pay much attention to what was going on around him. Most Gnomes really do enjoy a good meal, and Boddynock took this to the extreme some times. He was led by his stomach most days, and this morning was certainly no exception. Food...

Waiting on Skarsgard and Forged Fury.

My hope is that this discussion not only helps all of us in this game, but that we can take this knowledge and help make all the other games out here better too!

Then we are all good here. I wish the entry didn't exist as the wording could be misconstrued by some (myself, most notably) as the enemy/weapon having reach. I'll just have to keep that in mind for future reference. In other words...

At the suggestion of finding breakfast, Boddynock smiled slightly. A spot of breakfast was already on his mind; to know that his companions were also thinking the same thing meant he had definitely fell in with the right crowd. He stood up and was ready to walk out when Lorenzo started asking...

The thing with the scimitar is that, in the entry for the Goblin in LMoP, it is stated: Now, I know that the PHB only states Finesse and Light, with no reach in there. So I'm going entirely off of what's in the LMoP description for the enemy/weapon. I'm not above making mistakes, so if I'm...

Kobold Stew, please be explicit with your movement. Why? The Goblin has a reach weapon (scimitar, which I've mentioned), and I'm concerned about AoO's. If you move into and then out of his reach, you'll open yourself up. I know you are trying to gore/shove him, but with a reach weapon, I...

It's all good, my man. We've had several people on our team at work decide they didn't want to be here any longer, so my caseload has doubled in the last week. My posting will be as good as I can get it, but don't hold stuff up on my account!

Gnash decides to stay on full defense, but he moves slightly to his right, blocking the tunnel to the northwest so that the Goblin cannot escape that way. While Keira and Rebecca try to wade their way through the now-subsiding waters, Endurance runs up the stairs and joins Gnash, his horns...

Ok, here is the rule from the PHB on page 195: The key stuff in this rule is reach. The only thing the book states about reach for melee combat is also on page 195: So now, I'm a bit confused on this rule. I know in previous editions, the AoO was used whenever you moved through a...

The light from the rising sun hits Boddynock directly in the eyes, which is right where he wanted it to be. The red rays bouncing off the water have a somewhat calming effect on the Gnome as he wakes, sitting up in bed and stretching a bit. His muscles are still a bit sore and tired from the...

Schmoe, your post indicates you are moving. Is this correct? Are you positioning yourself between the Goblin and the southwest tunnel? I ask because you would be exposing yourself to an Attack of Opportunity by doing so. So before I adjudicate, I have to make sure you are aware of this and...

No, you're waiting on me to recognize that Schmoe posted that he was going full defense.
