4e Combat Playtest [FULL]

[Leif]

We'll sure try to do so! But YOU, Ata, have the power to make SURE that we do......

lol, just kidding. What would we learn from that?

 

[Annalist]

Eiran will gratefully take advantage of Brudd's healing and spend a surge.

 

[Victim]

Doesn't Battle Cry heal Bloodied allies only?

If possible, Senara will spend a surge as well.

 

[Leif]

I'm not sure about Battle Cry, but Brudd used Healing Word, a Cleric class feature power, so we can all spend a surge. At least I think that's what happened?

 

[Atanatotatos]

Indeed, only bloodied allies. Didn't remember that at all. Update coming in a little while!

 

[Atanatotatos]

Victim: I'm not really sure about the official ruling about this, but I don't really care: to me, walls, terrain feature and similar thins only do damage once per round, just like auras. Otherwise certain effects and powers (like this one) get way too crazy.

Leif: Senara comes first in initiative order, so if Sharm wants to attack the Goristro, he will have to follow it.

 

[Victim]

Okay, no problem. In that case, can I reduce the push to I10 so its still in the wall AND in a flanked position?

 

[Atanatotatos]

You certainly can.

Now, in case someone was wondering, the second round is ready to play, maps and all.
So unless you want to take a pause in real time, we can start with it pretty much as soon this one's over with (which should be soon)
In the end I made the terrain much simpler than I had thought because it seems the encounter will be complicated enough as it is... but I guess it can be tricky in a way.

 

[Annalist]

I have to say, I love the pace and momentum of this game. And I think that from now on, I'm just going to stick to KK-style PbP threads (when it comes to D&D 4.0).

I also like how there's no inane skill challenges being used as filler and that roleplaying is optional. Personally, I like to rp, but it's a pain getting stuck with a group where half likes to rp and the other half doesn't even want to bother. Unless everyone's on the same page, it usually ends up sucking.

As far as a pause in real time, I'm ready to keep going. Unless you need a break, Ata. Of all us, you deserve one the most. You're really good at keeping on top of things and keeping the game moving along. And this entire combat scenario has been a lot of fun.

 

[Leif]

Leif: Senara comes first in initiative order, so if Sharm wants to attack the Goristro, he will have to follow it.

Hehe, I figured that would happen. But I just couldn't resist trying finesse one in there. Yeah, Sharm will follow along.

And I second the kudos about your handling of the action! Bravo!
