Gaming W/Jemal: War of Gods

[Fenris]

Thursday's the day, ladies and gents. (er.. do we have any ladies in the crowd?)

Anyways, I'll be posting up the Test Start on Thursday, and I'll post a link to it here when I do so.

Rathan, Shayuri, Dharuhk you're all in.
Nephtys, you're good to go if you want, though I'd suggest throwing some gear on, your troll's half nekked. (PS, Nephtys, I also sent you a PM.)

Fenris, haven't heard anything from you in a while, but your characer looked pretty well done last I saw of it, if you'd like in, please say so and post it to the RG by thursday and I'll throw you in.
Ishalleatyourflesh, same thing - If you can get it posted in time for me to give it a once over, you're in too (I generally trust your character gen skills)



Did I miss anybody btw? Rathan, Shayuri, Nephtys, Dharuhk, Fenris, Ishalleatyourflesh..

Hey Jemal, sorry for my silence, the end of the semester is always crazy for me. I missed your deadline, so if you want I can still post him to the RG and jump into the acid test, or step aside. Your call. But yes he seemed to be pretty well finished off, just a few character notes for background I wanted to add.

 

[Jemal]

Fenris - Go ahead and post him to the RG and then go ahead and Join the IC, I ran behind my own schedule anyways, though hopefully back on track.


Also, Flesh - The bag resizing is fine, just don't try to do anything with it that couldn't be done with a normal bag.

First up :
Oh god, I just realized what Epic Combat posts are going to look like with a thousand different rolls in them... If you're not allready doing so, I'd suggest using the 'simplify view' for the roller.

Simply go to your Settings page, click on Edit Options on the left, and scroll down to Thread Display Options. Select whether you would like EN World's inegrated secure dice roller to display dice rolls in full (with dice graphics and full details) or in streamlined view (simple text).

Second : OK, we need to make a decision for damage rolling.

We COULD do the 'you post attack rolls, i respond telling you what hit, then you respond with damage', but that will take a lot more time, so..
Either you can roll all the damage yourself with the attack roll, or I can do the damage rolls myself for just the ones that hit.

For now I'll roll the damage myself, but please chime in which you prefer, whichever wins is how you'll ALL be doing it.

Thirdly, Dharuhk - Don't roll all the attacks together in a single roll, it counts them all together, and I can't tell what your individual rolls are, it just says "16 attacks: 16d20 + 3 = 221"


Also To dharuhk - OUCH, I just realized how nasty weak spot is, I always thought it was times/day or required an attack roll.. though it doesn't allow Str dmg (what little you use)
*EDIT: Just noticed you power attacked.. If it doesn't allow Strength to apply to damage on weakspot, I don't think I'm going to allow Power Attack to apply either. I'll allow it this one time b/c I don't want to make you redo the entire round.

Finally - I've gotta leave for work in about an hour, but I'll update the turn if I have time after getting ready, otherwise it'll be after I get home tonight.

 

[Fenris]

I vote to have you roll the damage. If we post that the roll will be (so you don't have to calculate it) it will save some rolls and make slightly less cluttered posts.

 

[Rathan]

I concur with Fenris.. I vote for the roll damage if I hit for me... however if you could tell me how many times 'I feel the glaive actually bite and sink in' I.E. how many times I hit that particular round.. that would be nice

Also Jemal that 94 to hit was a crit threat... not sure if Mr. Giant is immune.. but if he's not feel free to roll the crit confirm for me please

EDIT: Also.... adding my will save for the fear effect to all my other rolls in the acid test post!

 

[Jemal]

So I notice three people edited their character sheets yesterday. Since this is just the test run, I'm gonna be lenient on it, but once the campaign starts, please do not edit your character sheets without telling me what you're going to change first, and waiting for the OK.

And also, for the duration of the test please leave the characters alone, any changes can be made afterwards, I don't want stats changing mid-fight.


Re: Rolling, if you realize you're roll is a threat, roll the confirm, and if it's immune to crits I'll just note that myself.
I'm ok with rolling peoples damage so long as the 'what' is included so, as Rathan said, I don't have to calculate it myself.


Dharuhk, how's Ghatto immune to fear? I don't see it on his sheet.

Flesh - As I asked Dharuhk before, please don't roll a bunch of dice together, it shows up as "attack: 5d20 = 40", which is meaningless information to me.

EDIT: Also, if everybody could please note what your Roll Results were in your ooc blocks in your posts, I would appreciate it. It doesn't show the dice rolls while replying(WHY!!?!?), so it makes it a lot easier than opening a new tab and going back and forth.

 

[Shayuri]

I'm assuming this fear effect is also mind-effecting, and would be stopped by a Mind Blank. If that's not the case let me know and I'll be happy to roll a save.

Also, you mark on the map what our dervish's starting location is, and the path he takes. Am I correct in assuming he's now at the end of that path, and no longer at the position marked '1?'

I know, it is annoying. As it having to post, then roll, then edit to add the rolls to our sblock. But that extra effort is needed to manage things at this scale.

 

[Jemal]

Shayuri - The 1 is where he ended up, the other end is where he started.
Also, I'm just waiting on the Crone's action before I update.

 

[Shayuri]

Gotcha. Thanks, just making sure I understand the tactical situation.

I shall post later this morning. Gotta go to work for now, but I can post from there if I'm sneaky.
