Heartened by his initial success, Tairil tries to kick out again and distract the giant from its current target long enough for the sorcerer to be freed of his bonds, but the ropes tied around him confound his efforts and his kick fails to land with any real force. I use a swift action to...

Bump? I was waiting to see what the untied people were up to, was anyone waiting on me?

Soaring Raptor actually can only be used against Large or bigger opponents, it's very full of the cinematic leaping.

Hey, Tailspinner, if you're willing to cut me free of my bonds this action I can use a more acrobatic maneuver (Soaring Raptor Strike) with a boost (Burning Blade) for +4 to hit, +5d6+7 damage, and I'd still be able to tumble away afterwards.

Warblades and Swordsages both have a list of readied maneuvers that they get full access to each encounter. Warblades can regain all their expended maneuvers with a swift action, but must follow it immediately with making a melee attack (not a Strike maneuver) or using a standard action to...

Alright, I did that - I also put my stances in, with the one I'm in bolded.

Tied up at the feet of a towering giant, Tairil struggles to remain calm, trying to draw on his inner focus to strike at the behemoth's knee with an unexpected kick. If I can make an unarmed attack at some penalty while tied up, I try that, using the maneuver Insightful Strike (substitute...

Thumbnail picture added to my RG post. Can I get confirmation on whether or not an unarmed attack is possible while tied up? If not, I'll just try to break out.

Bump. People still here?

Hey, I know this game is filled up, but I just wanted to ask if you're taking any alternates, since the concept looks very cool. If not, best of luck, I'll likely be reading your IC thread for fun anyways :)

As it looks like Darv is freeing the caster this round, how extensively tied up are we? I'm right next to a giant, and I have Improved Unarmed Strike, so I can presumably attack with my feet etc., would it be possible for me to make an attack this round?

That's what I was finding sinister ;) Speaking of killing giants, now that the three of us appear to have characters, is it time for us to move to the IC thread? I read up on the current fight, and see the characters that need replacing, which of us should be replacing who?

Meh, I won't complain, I'm building from Tome of Battle :p That said, I'm far from optimized, but I should at least be able keep up for a while.

Why do I find this post extremely sinister? :uhoh:

Yes, I did - since all my initiator levels stack I just listed everything together, the actual breakdown is: Maneuvers known: 6 from Warblade, 1 from Martial Study, 2 from Master of Nine. Maneuvers readied: 4 from Warblade, 1 from Master of Nine. If you think my sheet is ready, I can slot...

Alright, I'll stick to Keen then - it has a little synergy with my Warblade bonus to confirming crits. And speaking of being a tertiary character, do you have any preferences for how we should be introduced, or should we come up with our own ideas?

That's me. I just posted a sheet to the new RG, if people are willing to glance at it and give me any advice, it's welcomed!

Name: Tairil Swiftblade Class: Warblade 6/Fighter 1/Master of Nine 1 Race: Wood Elf Age: 29 Height: 5'7" Weight: 124 lbs Size: M Hair: Copper Gender: M Eyes: Green/White Align: CG Skin: Tanned Str: 20 (15 base + 1 Level +...

Hmmm. The more I look at it the more I think Tempest might not be the answer - I can't quite get my defenses high enough that I'd really be comfortable standing next to a giant and letting it get a full attack, and if I don't want to do that, then I can't rely on getting full attacks myself...

Alright, having looked things over, I think I'm not likely to be able to get my AC up into the mid-thirties without sacrificing a lot at the altar of defense, so I'm going to go a bit more offensive with a Warblade/Tempest - maybe with a level of fighter, I haven't picked exact details yet. Are...
