Heroes, Inc - Heroic Mercs in FR OOC Thread

I don't believe there are any conflicts. I wanted a boots of speed and that was it. The rest I would take in money to purchase items in town with - or to barter with the company quartermaster . . . of course after my contribution to a wand, rod or whatever.

So what is our unofficial official split?

Since there seems to be no conflicts... take your loot and shop.

I believe everyone (with the exception of Alethia, she gets more) gets 38000 gp 'market value' of the treasure. You can take 38000 gp in items or sell them for 1/2 price in coin.

For example: Timrin is taking +4 gauntlets of STR (16000 gp) and Boots of Speed (12000 gp) for a total of 28000 gp. I would get 5000 gp in coin [(38k-28k)/2]. I would also cash in my Belt of STR +2 for an additonal 2000 gp.

I will be updating my rogues gallery entry with these items. Since there seemed to be some group interest in anti level draining items I will look into it and post a couple options tonight (hopefully).

Cheers,

Frostrune

Done, leaving me 3000 in gold and updated in the rogues gallery.

Not quite.

The 38,000 is actual money value, if we sold everything at half price.

So you'd take the +4 gauntlets of Str (16,000 / 2) and Boots of Speed (12,000 / 2) for a total of 14,000. You'd get 24,000 in coin (38k - (28k/2)). You'd cash in your Belt of Str +2 for an additional 2,000 (4,000 / 2).

The market value of gear we retrieved was over 800k. Split into 11 or so shares, it came out at over 70k each... but when we sell it, we only get half that.

SWEET !!! I like your math better.

Well that gives my 6000gp then, plus the 2000 or so left over from last time.

No - because from that 38k, items from The List are selected at half market value.

Or if you prefer, you have 76k to spend on The List (at full market value), but any left over is halved. (Exactly the same result.)

Here are my calculations, not taking into account anything anyone is selling from their personal equipment (Arundel, for example, is negative here... but he's selling something to make up the difference.)

EDIT - this now includes the money recovered from Peregion's estate as well.

I didn't see that rule anywhere in the PHB Hypersmurf. Sooo... Why can't you use both? I honestly can't see why not.

Shot on the Run must be used with the Attack action. Manyshot is a single attack, and it's a standard action, but it isn't the Attack action.

Much like a Charge allows you to make a melee attack, but it is neither the Attack action nor the Full Attack action - it is the Charge action. For example, one cannot use Combat Expertise while charging, since Combat Expertise requires you to take the Attack action or Full Attack action, and Charge is neither.

If you take the Attack action (a standard action allowing you to make a single ranged attack) so you can use Shot on the Run, you don't have any standard actions left to take the Manyshot action.

A single attack is not the same as a standard action - taking a standard action (Attack) allows you to make a single attack, but you can't give up an attack to make a standard action... otherwise a wizard with a +6 BAB could swap his two iterative attacks on a full attack action for two one-action spells.

Likewise, you can't swap the single attack from your Attack action while Shot-on-the-Running for the standard action required by Manyshot.

(This isn't just an accident of terminology - Andy Collins, who wrote the original Manyshot feat, stated that he specifically termed it a standard action instead of an Attack action to prevent the combination with SotR.)

DM - are we able to pick up our expenses from Peregion's accountant before the festivities tonight?

25k for the company fund;
9k for Alethia's necklace (she's already been paid back - this would split as another 1k for PCs, 500gp for cohorts).
16k for Fin's bracers (not already paid back - oops!)
