(Inactive) Psion's Return to the Tomb of Horrors (OOC)

[Psion]

Alright... if he hasn't posted by tonight, I'll do something for him.

Hi All, sorry got slamed by RL over the weekend and then managed toget my wallet stolen. Needless to say I have lots to run around and do to fix that scenario, so I probably won't be posting before tomorrow.
Feel free to NPC Garrel

That just happened to a friend of mine -- I hope things pick up for you from here!

Quick OOC question, Psion: earlier, Davreya attempted to use his memorized Dimension Door spell and failed. Was that spell wasted, or retained? If he still has it, I think I might have him try and take Peja and either Doorgath or Reisa over behind the giants.

I'll say retained.

Psion,

Sorry for not having Kull's Grapple modifier on his character sheet. I must have overlooked it before but I have now added it in. Kull's Grapple Modifier at the moment is +29, not +22 as you stated.

+14 (BAB) +11 Str (inc. increased Str due to Greater Rage) +4 (Improved Grapple) = +29

I don't think that it makes a difference to the final outcome but you may wish to double check just in case.

Whoops... I missed improved grapple and the rage.

It does make a difference... the giantess still grapples Kull but fails to pin him. I've changed the last IC post accordingly.

Thanks for that Psion. I think that you may have missed a bit though. In the "Status" section of post #283 you state that Kull is grappled and pinned. Should this only say grappled?

And are Kull's options basically:

Try and break free from the giantess' grapple or

Try and pin her instead?

Among others.

Scroll down a bit, and there's a list of "if you're grappled"

Psion, just to further muddy the waters, I was Power Attacking for 8 last round. Should my grapple check have been reduced by 8 as well?

Per the FAQ, a grapple check isn’t an attack roll, so you can’t use Combat Expertise or Power Attack in conjunction with it.

So, no.
