Destiny's Tears OOC- Prologue: A Jewel in the Shadow Part 2

Rystil[sblock]Well it's either post . . . or head over and watch a movie for a couple of hours . . . For BS, I think I'll post first [/sblock]

However, the AoO for spellcasting does not disrupt the spell, it just adds some sort of motion to the caster, which then makes spellcasting more difficult (based on the damage done), kinda like a violent motion. That's why there is a Concentration check necessary to succeed in the spellcasting. At least, that's how I see it.

I can definitely see that, but then I have trouble with the guy who rolled the same initiative as your spellcaster and happens to go first merely because of higher dexterity--I try to restrict the AoO to go off during the action so that it is clear why that case (and other similar ones) does not require a Concentration check.

11:30 AM PST is like 2:30 PM here, so that should be no problem (or do you mean 23:30 PST?)

PS: IT was pretty fun. The #1 upside of the trip was teaching two girls how to play D&D. They killed a Hellcat all by themselves. Hurray!

They did or their characters did?

Cool! They kick butt! IT's always fun to teach someone to play . . . the light in their eyes . . . after their first kill . . . ummm, yeah that's it

It was mostly the one girl who played a Fighter/Ranger. I gave her Races of the Wild to read for flavour, and a few minutes later she asked for Complete Warrior to look up the requirements for some Prestige Classes she thought could be interesting--and I hadn't even told her about PrCs yet (to keep it simple) or the existence of Complete Warrior. She managed to have a 22 AC (24 when buffed). Fast learner, I guess

Off to do family time. Should be back in a couple of hours.

No I used the AM correctly.

They were a bit upset because they chased the thing down (it had run when it got low) and then it had no treasure. They also hope that next time they won't have to fight something that is invisible and has 5 DR against a weapon type they don't have (DR 5/good). But I think they had fun, and they had a fun IC conflict because the Fighter/Ranger catfolk likes meat and the Elven druid is a vegetarian
