Hethas' Gambit: Game of Death discussion [rnd 5]

[seasong]

Sorry for the delay. Here's some Inits .

Init 23 - Blaster (reapersaurus)

Blaster roars and charges south to (9,80). The ioun stone orbitting his head disappears somewhere as the wind catches it, but he doesn't seem to care at the moment.

His eyes are on Mortem.

As with Marius, Mortem's magic seems to go away for a moment, but this time, the effect is far deadlier. Blaster leaps and pounces, and drags claws and teeth through Mortem's body. Although almost as large as the roman gladiator of old, his body is not quite as sturdy, and Blaster happily rips limbs from his body before finishing with a killing blow that snaps Mortem's neck and very nearly decapitates him.

At 203 points of damage, there was no real question of survival.

Init 22 - Izad (JDragon)

In rapid succession, Izad sucks down two potions and jogs south to (17,87). As he drinks the second potion, his outline wavers and distorts, making him difficult to see precisely.

Init 22 - Cholestus the Shredder (Saepiroth)

Drops almost straight down to the ground at (25,21), where he gets a close shave with the prismatic wall. The Bigby hand following him ceases to exist.

Note: noticed an error in this as I was typing this, durnit. Original result: Cholestus finished his movement by flying over the wall at Xiao Fung, but the problem is, he can't SEE Xiao Fung, and isn't sure where he is. So Cholestus stays where he is on the far side of the wall for now.

Init 21 - Tairnandon (Jeremy)

Position unknown.

You didn't say, but I assume that Cholestus made his save versus the wind? As a flyer, he has to save as a small creature. Of course, it is a pretty easy Fort save, anyway.

Is there any smoke created/destroyed so far?

What is the rule with AMF and an in-place blade barrier? I don't quite remember the wording, and don't have my 3.0 books anymore.

He is not suffering from the wind.

Yet .

Is there any smoke created/destroyed so far?

Yes. Not enough to worry about, though. Did I send you that e-mail with it's Init movement rate due to wind?

What is the rule with AMF and an in-place blade barrier? I don't quite remember the wording, and don't have my 3.0 books anymore.

In 3.5, blade barrier is not affected, as it is technically a force effect. I can't wait to run THAT in a game .

In 3.0, however, spell resistance can allow you to ignore it. That means the blades themselves (and the damage they do) is magical, and like conjured creatures, wink out while within the scope of the anti-magic field.

So yes, Blaster and Mortem are reasonably safe as long as Blaster is AMFed.

 

[Number47]

and Mortem? I think Mortem is reasonably safe from all things now.

Actually, I don't think all force effects ignore AMF. I think only wall of force and prismatic wall are specifically mentioned.

Don't be cruel, you're better at this than most people.

 

[cool hand luke]

wow reaper, impressive, you are better than I can even fathom. I sat up half the night wondering how someone can move 115 feat, and get enough attacks off to do 200+ points of damage, all aparently while in an anti-magic field, I can't wait to see his build up, I'm DYING to pull something that moves that far, that fast, and still get's a massive attack on some of my players......

however, I did peg my Time of death quite nicely, round 4.

 

[seasong]

No schoolyard antics, y'all.

Smack talking is fine, but winners are under more duress to be graceful than losers. And a file you have to download to be gloated at is a bit much .

Note: 115 ft in a double move is very easy to achieve. The tiger's pounce ability is an established rule. There were no crazy rules here, just a minimum non-magical Move 60, a double move, and a tiger's charge attack.

Cool hand luke, you've still got characters so you are still in the fight. And if you must console yourself, remember that you are pretty much the entire reason Blaster tucked tail and ran back to Master before coming down to try and kill you again .

As a bystander, I'm curious which version of "pounce" is being used.

This is still tons of fun to watch!

sorry, didn't mean to offend, Like I said at the beginning, i'm horrid with rules. Things like tiger's pounce are far beyond my knowledge level, just didn't know it was possible.
