Game of Death continuation thread 1

[seasong]

Didn't I get an AoO on blaster when he moved closer?

"If a character's entire move for the round is 5 feet the 5 foot move does not provoke an attack of opportunity. "

I don't use mystical foreknowledge in combat, so the first 5 ft move doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity. And the second 5 ft move used the grabby claw ability, which also doesn't provoke an AoO (from the person being grappled, at least).

If there's an aspect I'm missing, though, let me know.

Another correction:

During Xiao Lung's turn, after stuffing the scroll in a pouch, but before casting that 60-point fireball...

"Xiao Lung takes a small ceramic bowl and breaks it open, pouring a thin liquid over his head. It rapidly spreads, coating his entire body and all of his equipment, making it all vaguely shiny looking."

 

[DM with a vengence]

Well, that was painful.

Did I ever mention how much I hate prismatic spells? Because I do.

HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE!

We now return to your regularly scheduled violence.

I just hope I can break a few faces and disprove the "Only cohorted characters can win" theory, at least partially.

I will have the new maps up in about two or three hours. The maps from the first round will be going bye-bye, however.

DMwaV, does it make you feel better that you have used up a lot of my resources?

Can we have the initiatives for Round 3 when it's convenient?

 

[seasong]

Your individual e-mails will include your changed initiative, if you
changed it.

Individual e-mails are going a bit slowly due to work. I'll try to have them out sometime this afternoon.

And yes, "Position Unknown" hurts when you're waiting on your results. Sorry, but that's part of being undetectable.

Finally: I was asked about the wind and dust of disappearance. A very, very, very strong wind can blow it off. However, I will give you warning when the wind is getting strong enough (before the round starts). It is currently NOT strong enough.

 

[seasong]

Suh-weet.

Check out the 3.5 grappling. It's much clearer, and works exactly how I'm running it now

 

[seasong]

If anyone has NOT gotten their personal e-mail from me, please let me know. I should have gotten everyone.

Okay, we're getting near the high post numbers for the thread, and I'd rather get things moved before DinkleDog does - if only so I can edit the durned title of the thread with the current round!

However, I'm also thinking that there's always been some question about whether or not this is the right forum - I'm thinking that maybe the Fight Club forum might be good, or maybe not, since we're not actually playing in this thread.

Thoughts? I'm going to make a new thread soon either way.

The Fight Club is actually an OK place.
I was strongly against the idea before, since when I last went there, the activity was so high, it was hard to find the thread you wanted.

Now, it would be easy to find a thread, since there's not that much activity (at all) in there any more....

Plus, the General Discussion is so busy, it's actually hard to find this thread in here, currently.

BTW: I just noticed this rule on seaong's House Rules page:
"All natural d20 rolls will be posted. Saves and whatnot will be rolled whether or not they are needed by the particular character."

No wonder why I'd thought that would be part of the Game!

BTW: What are everybody's thoughts on the cohort's diddling causing a loss of champion points?
Those negative points could add up - compare one round of buffing with 2 cohorts (-3 points) to one round of a PC killing a PC (+3 points).

Do we want it to be that hard to get a positive score at the end?
Maybe it'll be like golf, where the winner ends up with the most negative score
(bad analogy, I know, but... )
