H4H: Red Hand of Doom (full)

[Rhun]

Duroin will definitely try to get into favorable flanking position. Hopefully the beastie will come out of the water and follow us toward dry land.

My goal by getting to dry land it to get a battle leader's charge off, so everybody knows. H4H, now that I am large, is the shallow water still considered difficult terrain for me? Basically I need to know if I can charge through it. I was intially not concerned with it's reach, because when using battle leader's charge, I don't provoke any AoO for movement. So I'd get an good attack in, then be able to go toe to toe with it. The large size is good idea, reach is a good thing, especially if it stays in the deep water.

Yes, it is still difficult terrain. The Two Feet seems like one foot of muck now.

But on a positive note the deeper bog is only considered "only" dfficult. So it is no longer quadrupled for you only doubled when you get large.

Evolution: don't forget that all your weapons have increased in one size category too -- your short sword should be base 1d8 now, longsword and warhammer should be 2d6.


Kirrg's greataxe would go from 1d12 to 3d6 if enlarged...

And don't forget that Duroin's waraxe/shortsword combo goes from 1d10/1d6 to 2d8/1d8. Not a bad little bump.

(That is 5.5 + 3.5 = 9 average damage to 9 + 4.5 = 13.5 average damage.)

Does Duroin Weapon Finesse or rely on strength?

Strength

Strength

QFT!


( And I don't think a dwarven waraxe qualifies as a finessable weapon! )

Well, that thing has a huge reach, if it is attacking Jonathan and still covered by the river -- (or wagon?) what is providing the cover?

Should Virashil and Jonathan withdraw some back towards the causeway?

This thing looks like it has quite the damage output, so we need to remedy that by either boosting some hp and/or taking it out quickly....

Absolutely. We need to draw it out onto dry ground to take it out. Hopefully now that it has a taste of Sir Jonathon's blood, that will be easier.
