[QUOTE="Dr Simon, post: 5283543, member: 21938"] Mystal swings across from the level above and stabs at the dark spirit with his rapier. A twin blade of white energy slides into the creature's substance at the same time. It recoils slightly, then again as Annika's celestial fire burns away some of its darkness. Gold moves up beside Mystal and utters a word of power that reverberates around the columns. One of the men approaching from the right clutches his head and staggers behind a pillar. Meanwhile, shadowy figures to the left flit between the pillars, approaching ever closer. [sblock=OOC] I've had a look at the combat maneuvres now. Shadow Blade is an odd one - will work as I've done it here, I think. If both hit you get an extra 1d6 cold, if one hits you get just the weapon damage, I think it's reasonable to roll a miss chance for both attacks if both hit. Note that not all undead are immune to cold.... As for sapphire nightmare blade, that modifies damage but not attack; it's not dissimilar to Focussed Strike, and I'd rule that you can't combine the two: either you concentrate on the sapphire nightmare blade maneuvre or on focussing, you can't combine both same as you can't cast moret han one spell at once (usually). As for whether the extra damage from either sapphire nightmare blade or Focussed Strike would affect an undead, I'm going to say that it does. It's not precision damage (ie sneak attack) as such, more putting your own energy into to attack. Anyway, rolls for the above: Mystal attack 1d20+9=22, 1d20+9=14. Damage 1d4-1=1 plus 1d6=6 cold. Second MM from Annika subject to AoO, Concentration check 10+7=17, success. (Note that Concentration has been fiddled with a lot in PF. Its now caster level plus ability bonus, and the DC is 15 plus [I]twice[/I] the spell level). Took me a while to look all that up! Gold moves and does a mind blast at #2. 1d10=2 damage, fails to save. 4,5 and 6 move closer. Next up: Ape Dark Spirit 1 2,3 [sblock] [/QUOTE]
