Eberron "Side Trek" (OOC); Roll Call

[Bront]

That's why I changed Thaean's name to Vecteau in the live game.

Good move

 

[D20Dazza]

Coming soon 'Boy Named Sue Quest' where the party is made up of 6 young men all named Sue.

Oh, I have the asian exchange student, Sue Mi

 

[D20Dazza]

Taran's brother Sue Wer could join up

Note: Taran is Bront's sewer dwelling halfling shaman in the Metropolis game

Just a small gripe, but Salina's mount should not be able to intimidate and move more than a single move action since Intimidating takes a standard action in combat at the least.

Thank you, I'll take that into consideration in the future.

I should have raced him on Twitchy (His Dire Rat mount)

You have a slavering, smelly, roaring lizard pound down on your horse butt and see if you ain't intimidated

Personally, I don't think it's such a stretch to use intimidate on the low intelligence animals as a free action - the old fight or flee hormones kick in - and they scarper

I'd be just as scared with a kicking, snorting warhorse pounding down the track as a "big" lizard. You also have to remember that a horse is a Large creature, while the lizard is a medium one.

Additionally, they are battle trained mounts which have been trained to negate the so-called "fight or flight" syndrome.

It should be by the rules else you create a whole new precedent and a house rule.

I'd say the rider gets either a ride check or a handle animal check to keep the animal under their control rather than frightened anyways.

So my result, play by the rules as written or call it a house rule and run it by all the players to see if they think it is fair.

1. I was giving the mounts HD+Wis Bonus+Fear Save Bonus vs. The Clawfoot's Intimidate roll, which I believe is the 'rules as written'. I decided to apply a single round -2 circumstance penalty to any checks (or attacks) of the rider if the mount failed it's checks. I missed the detail that intimidate counts as a standard action.

2. There is nothing in 'rules as written' that says that Warhorses gets a bonus on their saves vs. fear.

3. That being said, if you removed the penalty from all of the times it has happened so far, it would not make any difference. All of the times I have appied it the character was more than 2 over the target DC, or they were already under the target DC.

4. I already decided (because of the 'standard action' issue) that for the rest of the race I will only include it if they were stopped at a checkpoint.
