Gaming W/Jemal: Legends (3.5e d&D) *Recruitment Closed*

[Jemal]

ALSO, Shayuri I need a destination for your Dimension Door. If there's no response by tommorow night, I'll update and pick a destination.



IMPORTANT NOTE
- rpgramen seems to be MIA, and I've not heard from onlythestrong in some time. Unless I hear something from them in the next few days, I'll presume they are no longer available for this game.

 

[Salthorae]

I thought Shayuri put a destination of diagonally behind V, so that the bear can't see them anymore because they are blocked by the bulk of Rho and the dragon... at least that what I remember reading...

 

[Shayuri]

Actually, the ability to threaten while grappled and the ability to grapple multiple creatures are both available to creatures with the Improved Grab special ability who use it to act as though not grappled. Such as this 'Drow/bear/whatever'. (Note also that most bears DO have improved grab, so even if this were just a normal bear, it could do that).

-- I was not aware Improved Grab did all that. Not arguing, mind, I just didn't know. I'll have to remember that for my druid in another game.

Also, you haven't included any combat info in your last few posts. I am double checking people's character sheets, but after this round if I don't see your resistances/immunities and you guys don't have them listed in your combat posts, you won't benefit from them. It would also be nice to know how many HP each PC has left.

-- My apologies. Posting from work means no character sheet, and the Rogue's Gallery has fallen off the boards as far as I can tell. With no link in the thread, it's hard to find Sigil's stats. That said, I will try to remember, and simply not post if I don't have time to dig up the requisite info.

ALSO, Shayuri I need a destination for your Dimension Door. If there's no response by tommorow night, I'll update and pick a destination.

-- Destination info is in the post already. Read all the way to the end.

 

[Jemal]

Apologies, musta missed the destination.

Also, keep in mind for your druid that without applicable feats the improved grab 'act as though not grappled' thing forces you to take a -20 to said grapple checks... not usually feasible.

 

[Shayuri]

Okay, see, I remembered the -20 thing. I just figured there's no way this bear could hold a level 20 guy while also taking -20, so I figured it wasn't doing that.

What feat would you take in addition to having the Improved Grab trait?

 

[Jemal]

Savage species has a pair of feats.
Multigrab reduces the penalty to -10.
Greater Multigrab reduces the penalty to zero.

There are also a couple minor alterations I've made to the way Improved Grab works for this character, due to strange interactions between class features, racial features, feats, and for simple game balance.

 

[Jemal]

Also, I've been (slowly) writing the IC Update (in between doing other things), and I have a question for Rathan - I don't want to question your math skills, but how did you arrive at an AC of 28? Your base is 40, -20 for the attack buff, -2 Rage, +2 from the half-celestial template = 20. Where'd the other 8 come from?

Also, I'm REALLY sorry about the SR thing(You'll see in the IC update which should hopefully be up soon) - I even publicly rolled and linked the SR checks so you'd see that I was rolling them, but.. he kinda ended up rolling high. I understand the SR must feel like a rather large waste of money right now, as it hasn't done much, but give the statistics time to even out, this IS only the first encounter, after all.

15d6=58 there you go

 

[Jemal]

Thanks for helping yet again guys.. And to think i started preparing my own campaign.. Humph! Well i'm good with stories and characters, but might take a co-dm along to help with things like that. (I.E. math.. feats.. things)

edit: IC has been updated! postpostpostpsotpsotspot i can't wait for my turn Now i understand the value of a rod of metamatic quicken - Sila could have made herself immune to acid and still cast something else.. This feral lad better die soon so she can get her hands on the trinket!.

Jemal i have a question on Wish. It states in the SRD that even a regular casting costs 5000xp, and asking for something really kinky can increase the cost exponentially. So then, since XP for us is only another resource to munch on and you stated you are not going to use XP for the level up system, will the price still stay the same? I mean, if you are not planning on rewaring XP after each battle and we start with 10k only, Wish becomes very costly. I'm particularly interested in the "mundane" things it can be used for.. Such as healing our nearly shredded butts

An alternative is for Sila to Shapechange in to a Pit Fiend for example - awesome DR, resistances, SR, lots of HP. Some questions though:

1. Which stats change with Shapechange, and which remain the character's own? For example STR gets replaced, added etc. Int/Wis remain the same?

2. Can Sila still cast her Wizard spells in her new form?

3. Your Shapechange rule states 1hd/cater level without a cap. So, Sila can shapechange in to a 22hd or 24hd Pit Fiend (depending if she uses Spell Enhancer prior to Shapechange). So, does she become a 288 HP demon, or is she still harmed and stays at 34/288.. Or does she get the +144 the Pit Fiend has as a HP boost.. This is too confusing :/
