    Scales of War #1 Rescue at Rivenroar IC

    Following Velani's example, Ah-shahran goes to check on the other wrapped body. Kartenix, perhaps? he mumbles as he crosses the chamber, peering at the webs to determine how best to open them in the hopes of finding a live captive. As noted, I'll regain my 10 (2) HP back to full, now...

    Ah-shahran pushes toward the denouement Excellent work! Just one more to squash.... Ah-shahran snaps his fingers, and two spirits rise up around the spider, slashing at it before dissipating into the air. Gorm bounds across the chamber to menace the spider, while Ah-shahran kicks away the...

    I edit my post multiple times as I go, especially with Kali since he has so many options that are contingent on what happens with his rolls. That's why I'm careful to specify who I'm attacking and to specify decisions like whether to activate shrouds (which must be done before rolling) on the...

    Much better round for Kyalia :) Meanwhile, Kali's ridiculous luck continues with another round of hits, including another crit. Goonalan in the summary, you have this paragraph: I think you want to move one of the closing quotation marks: "Nice work with the flames, sonny. Now patch up that...

    Scales of War #1 Rescue at Rivenroar IC

    Kali picks on a fallen foe Kali disregards the leader and continues his assault on the fallen ettercap, swinging his axe down with extra force. As his blow strikes home, he slips to a more advantageous position, and continues to assault the spidery creatures, turning his attention to the...

    Goonalan I'm pretty sure that Velani dealt 5 radiant damage to E#3 with Holy Smite. t~

    I can't agree with this, sorry. Having played a leader through epic tier and another leader through mid paragon, I can safely say that I'm not happy without a way to grant at least one saving throw on an encounter basis without wasting my standard action. I'm willing to wait a few levels for...

    Excellent spot for Living Missile, RavenBlackthorne. Too bad you missed, but prone in the defender's aura is exactly where we want E#3. Slow's not much different from immobilize, there. I'll have save granting at some point. I just thought I'd try Adaptive Stratagem for now since I have 3...

    I'm certainly hoping so! I'd love to see my new utility put to good use ;) Although I have to say, just at the moment the save granting utilities I passed up are looking rather attractive.... t~

    Well, THAT set of die rolls was full of fail. 8d20, highest roll? 10. Wheeee! And of course I missed my 66% chance to convert my save, too. Unfortunately, no Adept's Insight left to salvage either Freggo's save or mine, although Freggo might be able to Heroic Effort his, assuming I managed...

    Ah-shahran gets busy Gorm pants happily at Freggo, then snaps at some key joins in the webs binding Freggo's feet before fading away, energizing Freggo to swing at the nearby spider. Meanwhile, Ah-shahran looks at the ceiling and mutters, How many spider-oids are infesting this place...

    Poor Velani! So many interrupts on allies getting hit, no need to use them.... ;) Speaking of which, I actually ran into something similar with a Battlemind I was playing in a playtest module. I was set up to fire off Empathic Feedback (an immediate reaction to taking damage, would hit all...

    And we still don't get to find out whether the Fang Guards are AC 20 or AC 21. But one of them is dead, so mission accomplished, this round! Thanee I think Kali is stealing Kyalia's luck so far this combat. t~

    Scales of War #1 Rescue at Rivenroar IC

    Seeking to end at least one tormentor, Kali swings again with his axe. The strike goes wide, but he exerts himself, marking the creature for death as he brings the axe around in another blow. As the axe cleaves through spider flesh, his other axe lashes out, seeking more blood. As the first...

    RavenBlackthorne: moving up on your turn is fine, but you cited "all I can do is get LOS" as your reasoning. So, I'll point out that you actually have line of sight to SH#2, although it has superior cover from you. Draw your sight-line from the I/J:11/12 corner of your space through the...

    Good deal, although I wasn't precisely against the idea. More like I was analyzing the consequences of such a house-rule and thinking "out loud", listing things off as I came up with them. I don't have a ready answer to this, which is part of why I said I was ok with surprise round mechanics...

    Scales of War #1 Rescue at Rivenroar (Full)

    I have a couple of problems with the idea of using surprise round mechanics when no one is surprised, but the first that comes to mind is this: it makes it very likely that winning initiative with a melee character is a liability rather than an asset. Few combats start far enough apart that a...

    If I:11 or I:12 is open, Ah-shahran can get there (to G11). We haven't actually seen either square on a map, I don't think. t~
