(5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

[VLAD the Destroyer]

@FitzTheRuke Can I update my Psion with the new playtest changes? They don't look to different and it is only base changes as they did not update the subclass I chose.

Sure. It'll give me the chance to take a look at a completed character using the new rules.

I'm sorry that I have been slow to push each group forward, I've had a lot on my mind lately. Please feel free to keep giving me nudges.

I think Caves group is ready for you.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

I think Caves group is ready for you.

Thanks! I'll see if I can get to it soon. I've been a little low-morale lately. My (nearly) 14-year old Golden Retriever is ill - probably won't make it to next week.

Here she is right now, poor thing:

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Apparently she thought that my post was too depressing, because she started acting silly (most energy she's had in days) since I posted that one and started looking more like this:

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Okay, I plan to get to everyone today. Thanks to everyone who posted encouraging bumps, and to everyone who waited patiently. I hope I haven't lost anyone. I'll try to do better going forward.

I still maintain: I would ultimately prefer to reach an average of two posts a week (per group). Keep doing what you can to help me!

Oh, and my Dog has recovered (I mean, she's still really old, but she doesn't seem like she's going to die any time soon!) The picture above was the first sign of her recovery!

Despite the cheesiness of Attacking in the dark, it seems a better use of my action than spending my bonus action doing nothing. I’ll attack the wizard using reckless attack, which negates the disadvantage.

Attack misses, (I critically failed) but GRAZE HITS one of the mirror images:
Graze mirror image: 1D6 = [3] = 3

So... that's not quite how Mirror Image works. Here's the spell:

Mirror Image. Illusion (VS) L2 Slot: 3 illusory duplicates appear in your space & move with you for 1 minute, shifting so it’s impossible to track which is you. When a creature hits you with an Attack, roll 1d6 for each remaining duplicate. If any roll 3+, a duplicate is hit instead of you & is destroyed. They otherwise ignore all other effects. The spell ends when all duplicates are destroyed. A creature is unaffected if they are Blinded or have Blindsight or Truesight.

You'd have to Hit to affect an image. OTOH, you are unaffected if you are blinded. It seems that your "Graze" damages Valendra herself, assuming that you attacked the "correct square". Seeing as she hasn't moved (at least, not at the time of your turn), I guess I put her down for taking 3 damage!

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Valendra made the Concentration Save, in case anyone wonders.

 

[TaranTheWanderer]

it's always weird to play when your character can't see anything but the player can. I know technically, I could attack Valendra (she'd within reach) but it seems unsafe to attack while my ally is grappling her - besides, how do I target the right person in the dark???

 

[Kobold Stew]

Hit her!
