    S3: The Scythe of Seto (Bront Judging)[Completed]

    Beamer watches grimly as the unicorn is defeated. Then the black bishop begins to move and he realizes he is unprotected! "Oh, damn." His body working quicker than his mind, he instictively launches three missles at the enemy while moving to the lower right corner of his square. OOC: Cast...

    S3: The Scythe of Seto (Bront Judging)[Completed]

    Beamer watches nervously, wincing each time the Queen's chain tears into Beamer's friend. He grows worried as move of Eusebius blood stains the floor, but cheers as the monk lashes out with his chain and a series of vicious kicks that send the Queen to the deck. "Well fought, my friend...

    Flat Healing Without Using a Surge--Infinite Daily HP?

    For those saying Sunburst is not that effective as an infinite healing mechanism: -- I would say healing the party to full in 1 hour is a big deal. For those saying the DM can tell the player not to do it: -- That's true, but wouldn't it be better if the DM didn't have to? And what if the...

    S3: The Scythe of Seto (Bront Judging)[Completed]

    OOC: Actually, it does because the Queen's second attack hit Eusebius, which would not have happened if the Queen had taken more than a 5 foot step. Anyway, if Eusebius attacks from the center of his square, the queen is 3 diagonals away (20 feet). The queen can then step diagonal down and...

    S3: The Scythe of Seto (Bront Judging)[Completed]

    OOC: Eusebius's attack of opportunity missed anyway, so I do not think it should matter.

    S3: The Scythe of Seto (Bront Judging)[Completed]

    OOC: I think medium size reach weapons in 4E can still attack an opponent one diagonal away. Of course, in 4E that's not an exception to the general rule for how to measure diagonal distances. Go, go Father Eusebius!

    S3: The Scythe of Seto (Bront Judging)[Completed]

    As the fight begins, Beamer says a short prayer to any gods who are listening. "Help the Father out." OOC: Eusebius will have to do without Bull's Strength as Beamer can't cast it, though I think you've already taken that into account. This also subtracts 2 from Eusebius's trip check and...

    E2: The Secret of Gemhold [Patlin Judging]

    Once it is apparent there are no more immediate threats, Nars lets his shield drop and the point of his blade rest on the ground while his lungs work like a bellows. He feels a grim satisfaction at the route of the goblins and the freeing of Gorefoot's homeland, and a still smaller sense of...

    S3: The Scythe of Seto (Bront Judging)[Completed]

    "If I move over, the queen could attack Banion or Eusebius anyway without warning. Sure the unicorn could then attack the king, but I don't think our friend unicorn can defeat the king on his own, and I think the Black King would risk himself to further punish our ranks. No, I think it is...

    S3: The Scythe of Seto (Bront Judging)[Completed]

    Looking between Eusebius and the Black Queen, Beamer says, "She seems tough, but our viking friend acquitted himself well. Can you take her? Before you do, let me speed your actions with a spell." OOC: Beamer intends to send Eusebius to fight the queen after casting haste on him and allowing...

    S3: The Scythe of Seto (Bront Judging)[Completed]

    "Oh, good choice, Ogrin," Beamer says with a smile. Knowing time is now important, Beamer quickly makes his next move. "Fair unicorn, protect me. Move forward 4 squares to block the bishop and threaten the king." OOC: I can't look up the unicorn stats at work to give battle tactics. I think...

    S3: The Scythe of Seto (Bront Judging)[Completed]

    "Good idea, Ogrin. Say, I have this bag of animals. You can pull one out before I make the move and it could help you fight the queen. What do you say? If you won't do it for yourself, do it for me in case the ugly chain wench gets a lucky and I'm left next on the chopping block." Beamer...

    S3: The Scythe of Seto (Bront Judging)[Completed]

    "Hmm. I have another idea, Rasereit. You can move forward to threaten the king while still being in the way of the scorpion. The king can only escape you by moving into the square threatened by the pawn. I'm curious to see what 'tall, dark and ugly' is capable of."

    S3: The Scythe of Seto (Bront Judging)[Completed]

    OOC: Sorry, I've been really busy and haven't had a chance to make a plan. If anyone else once to take control, that's cool, or otherwise I'll try to come up with something. I think the initial move should either be bishop to block or to move Beamer over out of threat.

    Excerpt: Economies [merged]

    Actually this is a cool idea. This seems like a great way to handle the problem of random monsters always carrying the weapon the party's fighter uses. Instead, if the party has long term adventurer friends who they occasionally bump into in a certain town, the party can swap items with them...

    Siege in the Stonespike Mountains (Boddynock Judging)

    "Hmm, that's a nice song. I wonder what all the fuss is about." OOC: Planus makes all the saves.

    Paladins mark "fix" a plazebo?

    Assuming the ranger hits 95% of the time with his at-will attacks is probably not a good assumption. The divine challenge damage is best when the target is difficult to hit, because the damage does not require a to hit roll. Assuming the range hits 95% of the time skews the analysis in favor...

    Paladins mark "fix" a plazebo?

    In terms of dealing damage, I think a ranged striker paladin can probably compete with and potentially out do a standard striker by using divine challenge + ranged attacks. If not, a ranged paladin with the ranger multiclass feat probably can. However, I think replacing a striker with a ranged...

    E2: The Secret of Gemhold [Patlin Judging]

    Nars continues toward the giants. As he gets close, he slides in under the giant's reach and brings his sword to bear. OOC: Tumble +12 Base stats for battle HP: 18/43, AC: 23 (27 vs giants), Attacks: Felhunter +10 (1d6+3+3d6 sneak attack) or Felhunter and shield +8/+7 (1d6+3, 1d3+1+3d6 sneak...
