That's it for me today. Heading of to bed!
Cool.Warms my heart to see people playing in Bluffside.
(BTW, the original idea for the city itself was mine, borne out of a failed attempt at writing a module). I was also one of the major contributing writers to it.
We'll use the same roll, but Mutt's initiative will be one less than Tuck's since the dog's Dex modifier is +3 instead of +4.Oh, I should've read this thread before replying to the IC...
Ah well, I guess it's a Diplomacy check for Tuck. Diplomacy: 1D20+1 = [18]+1 = 19 (forgot to use the -10 penalty... so it's a 9)
Initiative Tuck: 1D20+4 = [16]+4 = 20
Mutt has the same initiative, right?
Yes, Tuck (and Mutt, if possible) will only deal nonlethal damage to the guards.
@Tellerian Hawke, do your posted attacks take into account the -4 for doing nonlethal damage?D&D Wiki said:Nonlethal Damage with a Weapon that Deals Lethal Damage
You can use a melee weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage instead, but you take a –4 penalty on your attack roll.
@JustinCase, Mutt can do nonlethal damage, but I want a Handle Animal check (DC 15) from Tuck to keep the big dog from doing lethal damage. This is mainly because Mani has taken a new form, which might fool Mutt. You could also have the dog make a Wisdom check to sense that Mani is still Mani. The big dog gets a +2 circumstance bonus to the roll due to its Scent ability.
Okay, so you're good. rolling Mutt's adjusted bite attack...Both are +1, but if Mutt gets a bonus then it's a Wisdom check!
Wisdom check Muttl: 1D20+3 = [17]+3 = 20
