I know what you mean. I finally was able to let my gut sag, too much sucking in. Now it's bad again. Greeeat. I'm curious what the CR is for this fight.

I just realized something: When I use Stone Power I get the temporary hp whether I hit or not! I'm be using it more often then.

I too am curious of the CR...What kind of armor is that priest wearing? I might have found myself some new armor

The Priest is wearing Banded Mail.

Yeah. A tactic I've been using with my Crusader is to use Stone Power on the turns where I am going to be taking damage from my DDL therefor taking them to my Temp HP.

That combined with being a warforged with DR a 18n con and then using Crusader's strike I've been pretty fearsome through levels 1-3.

Methinks the DM is going to kick it up a notch next time we get to play though. (the s/o and I are taking a break from the FTF game until the baby is settled in.)

Probably wont be on tonight until after midnight tonight.

Fight is almost over one way or the other.

Whatever happens, do NOT let that cleric get away.

I figure with double moves, most of you would be able to reach him this turn.

EvolutionKB · Jul 8, 2007

I can get to him. Sorry S@squ@tch, I just realized I could have healed a you a little. I forgot you were down. I'll have to remember all these mechanics more in the future (I am usually much better than this). This is sure was a tough encounter, but no character deaths. My plan next round is to charge if in range(with battle leader's charge and leading the charge stance, +15 damage baby). I'll be granted WRT next round, so somebody get within 10' of me so I can use it on you.

Banded mail huh? Tough call. If it is magical, I'll probably try and get it, unless somebody objects. If it's nonmagical, I'll probably pass. One extra pt of AC vs. the speed reduction and armor check penalty, probably is not worth it.

It looks like he is trying to escape (by running to the corner of the map). But I doubt he will be able to get away, as his base move of 20' (due to the banded mail) will make him slower than Jonathan.

Hopefully he doesn't have another invisibility up his sleeve.

I didn't catch whether the mace (?) he is carrying was light or heavy when it collided with my face. Hopefully it is a good quality light one for Duroin...

Speaking of which, if the armor is indeed magic banded mail, you could give your magic chain shirt to the dwarf -- as it is light armor... Just a thought. Not sure if Duroin would want the armor check penalties, but it would boost his AC, I think 2 pts.

The chain shirt would be a good idea to give away, unless he wanted the (possibly magic) studded leather from Uth-Lar. Create water would have been a good way to root out invisible creatures here. He splash through the water, giving his position away.
