This is no problem. You were off six weeks, plus had major surgery. And a lot of life changes, moving house not the least of them. Take the time you need to get yourself squared away. The monitor does not really appear to be all that injured. :D D'you know, no, we haven't touched the game...

I use the reborn skin on my laptop and work box, and when I need to discern what Farshid is saying, I highlight the colored speech to make it pop. I use a dark background on my smartphone, and the yellow pops there. I have trouble with the blue font. It shows up pretty well on both a light...

No surge, thanks for the wild magic surge check, Yavathol. Please note I retconned the last post to include that the earthen hand did not wink out of existence. It is available to be controlled in subsequent rounds as an Action. My ruling is that Kamael will need to be within 30' of the hand...

A blindheim totally kicked my hind tail once in a fight. Map props to you, fearsome froggy foretelling future fricassees. Plus, hello? BLINDHEIM?? Totally pronounced "blind-em." Gygaxian humor at its worst finest.

http://i65.tinypic.com/1552oo4.jpgPell gaped at the colorful reptilian birdlike creature. Its plumage and scales were brilliantly hued. He gazed with awe, his mouth flapping open. The history largely went over his head, but Pell found himself persuaded--if only by the sheer magnificence of...

The problem becomes what to do with the hand as a practical matter. Is line of sight required to manipulate the hand if the caster moves out of range? And does anyone have thoughts on the issue of the hand requiring an Action to move and manipulate, specifically what might the hand be doing in...

This is how I ruled. Somewhat uncomfortably, but I did it and we've moved on. Such is gaming. This is, I think, my player's interpretation. It's not a bad one. I don't agree with it, as it feels counterintuitive to me and against the grain of the implied wording of the spell description, but...

You've prompted a really great question, Yavathol, so I went ahead and posed it in the 5e forum: Maximillian's earthen grasp and spell range. I don't want to cut you out of that conversation, so please consider hopping over there and either following along or providing input as you see fit...

Maximillian's earthen grasp provides that "[a]s an action, you can cause the hand to reach for a different creature or to move to a different unoccupied space within range." Emphasis mine. If a spellcaster casts the spell and directs it to attack a creature within the specified 30' range, then...

That's expressly contrary to the spell description, which provides that "As an action, you can cause the hand to reach for a different creature or to move to a different unoccupied space within range." My read is that you've got to be within 30' of the hand to be able to direct it to squeeze or...

5 hp is good, no problem. I think you should consider a rider that shield activates only when it can actually do some good; i.e., when the attacker hits an AC of 20 or lower, or when the attack is from magic missiles. That way, you don't waste a spell slot on shield when the attacker hits AC...

http://i.imgur.com/LIEJKBB.jpg?1The geas tugged at Girri, an uncomfortable tightening across her ribs. She knew what she had to do, but grit her teeth in ire at the thought of doing it. She couldn't very well leave a man locked up in a cell alone. He'd starve without captors to feed him, and...

Were we at a tabletop, you'd know the attack roll result at a minimum. I don't, however, bifurcate attack and damage rolls in my PbP games (too inefficient). By specifying a protocol for when shield activates, we avoid holding up the IC or having to retcon. I'm happy to say shield doesn't...

I had the same conundrum when deciding how to adjudicate Kamael's movement taking him out of range of earthen grasp. Earthen grasp has a range of 30'. When Kamael moved to M6, that put him well outside of the spell's 30' range. PHB 202, "Range," provides, "The target of a spell must be within...

If your character has taken damage (currently, everyone but Solace) and you haven't updated your mini sheet in the IC, please do so. Some of you may already have updated, but in case you haven't, I'm mass broadcasting this to all who've taken damage since this encounter began. lowkey13, hope...

When Kamael fled to the west, deeper into the cavern, the earthen hand he cast via Maximillian's earthen grasp winked out of existence ceased squeezing Kuo-toa 7, who promptly escaped the hand's clutches. The hand shifted slightly, crowding against the rock wall of the passageway nearby Kago...

Resuming the action in the IC. I nearly missed Kamael's ability to disengage; forgot he'd cast a quickened scorching ray. I'll post for the monitor later today...at lunch, if I've time (not sure), otherwise this evening. Hope everyone's had a jolly Easter? My spouse is a pastor, which makes...

Round 3 Raza began sawing at the net covering Kago. It took some doing, and a short sword with a sharper edge rather than the pointy-tipped dagger would have made it easier going, but Raza managed to cut a large enough hole in the net to free Kago. Up on the ledge, Brinn punched Kuo-Toa 5...

I'm glad for this poll, and for lowkey13's. I'd forgotten Ghostwalk, and these polls have revived my interest. Thanks!
