(Discussion) General Part IV

[Macbeth]

Whew! Miss a few days and suddenly the thread grows by three pages...
Sorry for me recent absence, but I, like CS, am at home with internet access that is... interesting, at best. I'll try to make it around a bit more now that the holidays are (mostly) over, but I won't be around as much as I'd like until I get back to my DSL connection on January 18th, or there abouts.
As for gunpowder, I fell that it can be used in a limited fashion, since any PC using it on the contenent is going to have problems with the local law inforcement. Also, as for a nation using gunpowder, I don't think that gunpowder, as presented is outragously powerfull, and would be to costly to be effected. Regradless, i am starting to like the idea of going core rulebooks only, using only what us available from the SRD, with players contributing locations and background, but not rules. Really, its up to everybody else, but I am starting to appreciate the idea of going core only.
And yes, I did vote to approve one of the new core classes, but in part that was just to get some input from the other judges. Since I couldn't think of any way to improve it, and there hadn't been any judge input in a while, I thought it best to afford the benefit of a doubt and give my approval.
And, thanks a ton to Uriel for holding the fort, so to speak.I don't know what would happen without uriel around to keep us in line...

Did I kill the stunned orc? Even if it's not a coup-de-grace, it can't be too hard to reach down and kill someone who can't move.

Edited the Orcs. I had misread the Orc/Color Spray effect. They are unconcious.
Of course, I also screwed up in letting Felix use the page like a scroll 9as a dilligent player pointed out in an enmail). That is not possible in 3.5,or3.0 for that matter.
Holdover from the earlier versions of D&D.


Could I delay/refocus (whichever it's called), then, to go first in the next round? Then I could ready an action against him slashing Troi, which means he couldn't ready an action against me moving, correct? Since we can't anti-ready against him.

yes you can, but that is what he is doing as well.
if effect, we have everyone holding/refocusing. When that happens, i default to the Initiative order, which puts him on top. of course, if you want to try a Bluff attack/spell/whatever, things may change.

Could I do the bluff/sense motive shootout thing with a spell? Got a prestidigitation in my list, bet there are a couple possibilities for that.

I already said that you could, yep.
Your Bluff vs. his Sense Motive.

Keia, please amend Thurgan's HP, as i goofed and the Color-Sprayed orcs are still out (one is dead now...).

Well, unless the GM "rules 0's" it, a Coup de Grace is a full round action. And only standard, move or free actions can be readied. So, I suspect that Troi might have a slim chance to live.

Personally, I'd rather not risk it... and Sir Ishmael is too naive to try anything.

I'm not '0'ing anything.
The Druid doesn't need the CDG. As I stated, he does lots of damage on a normal hit. So yes, Troi might have a chance (I'd have to roll a '1' on the damage, which puts him at -9...

 

[Uriel]

OK, I have 'Yes' from Rurik and Ishmael...anyone else want to chime in?

I'll be away for most of the evening (margaritas and tacos, as well as spooky goth girlies), I'll have another half an hour or so to check in, however...

 

[nimisgod]

Ahh, my mistake... I was under the assumption that the Druid did 1d8+4 with a minimum of 5 damage (thus killing Troi). The only chance I spoke of was that one of us beats him to the punch...

1D8+3. The orcs were doing D8+5, as they were a stronger base Strength.The Druid is (was) Human.

Er, can we get the opinion of GnomeWorks?

Off to dinner etc...
I guess he has a vote.


If you folks have either a consensus on letting him go or a plan of attack spelled out when I return we can finish this off.

Oh, on a side-note...Someone mentioned using the Monestary as a base of operations: There is still one Monk alive (maybe more hiding/wounded,you did find some locked doors).
As well,Saint feragon has more Monestaries, so it is likely that they will have issue with that. I know that it was a comedic comment (or maybe not, it makes no difference), so it's pretty moot anyways.
They will most likely have a nice reward/thanks, however...
