[QUOTE="Halford, post: 4511453, member: 64844"] Contemptuous of the Kobold behind him Brudd strides over to flank (K3) with Alex and brings his blade down drawing blood yet again and laughing gleefully as he yet again finds favor with Hadeys! :angel: [COLOR=orange]"Boss a little wrath if'n ye'd be so good, 'n' lend yer blessin' te me pal Alex!"[/COLOR] Brudd bellows gleefully. [sblock=Hit 20, 11 Damage, +4 for Alex to hit K3] If the kobold is able to do that withdrawy thing again, then Brudd will hit K7 with an 18 instead - in this case Brudd will then move up to K3 in square M6. This hinges upon my understanding of the rules - which is incomplete - I believe you can only take one immediate action per round and it says this in numerous google threads, etc., but my reading of the PHB is unclear as to whether this refers to immediate actions in general or OA's specifically. [URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1771942/"]1d20+9=20, 1d12+5=11[/URL] [/sblock] [sblock=Digger] Sorry Digger, but you are wrong there, you are reading the wrong part. The encounter power is not the 2d6, which you are correct is not maximized, but rather the 10 in the last sentence of that paragraph which is maximized. So... "If she scores a crit she deals max damage (etc etc.) and adds 2d6 thunder damage from her thundering longsword. If she wanted to use her thundering longsword's encounter power on this hit, she would add 10 thunder damage and push 1." Sadly this seems there seems to be a mistake here as the thundering longswords only available power is a daily and deals a d8 not a d10, so it should be 8 not 10, but the point still stands. The difference is that extra damage that is caused by a crit is not maximized, extra damage that would have been in effect if the attack was not a crit are maximized. So since the encounter power would have worked if the attack had simply hit it is maximized, the same goes for sneak attack, quarry, and curse damage. Magic weapon additional damage on crits only happens on crits and is thus not maximized. As for pedantry I'd be a pot referring to you as a dark hued kettle if I complained! :D[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
