Above all, have fun!

Sure, you say that and then send more rats!

"((Five foot step into Meepo's square, Drop the lantern, cast Electric Jolt [Ranged Touch Attack: 1d3 Electrical damage] at the farthest rat (flanking Kuma), move action another 10ft to end up on the eastern side of the hall, 5 feet from rat attacking Jerek.))"

I don't think you can do both a five foot step and an actual move.

 

[Sorrow The Man Bear]

I was under the impression 5 foot was a free action on top of you base move. If not, then just amend that to moving through meepo to the end position, dropping the lantern next to him (Meepo), and then casting. Can you scrap the 5 foot step and just make it two partial moves? I didn't go my full 30' that round anyway, even with the 5 step.

 

[JimAde]

Voadam is correct. A 5' step can only be used if you don't do any other movement in the round. Just for future reference.

Bloody rats.

 

[Voadam]

First rule of DMing, if the action seems to be dragging throw ninjas at the party. Beware these rats, I'm sure Belak has awakened them and trained them in the ways of the ninja.

Luckily for us as heroes we can take on a bajillion ninjas with no problem.

Or then again, they may be goblin ninjas in rat disguises, just to throw us off the path. Tricksy goblin ninjas.

Indy: Thanks for modifying Jerek's action. I didn't quite get the picture. Two minor things:

In melee, Jerek generally uses a short sword rather than a dagger. I used a dagger in the fight earlier because I was trying to hide it.

Also, why did Jerek do so much damage in the last round? Not that I'm complaining, but I don't get where the +6 total damage came from. Was it sneak attack damage?

 

[IndyPendant]

Lehko, you can take a 5' step only if you do no other movement that round. You can do a move-equivalent action (like where I had you place the lantern on the floor) and 5' step--but not actually move and 5' step as well.

Jimade, np I'll keep that in mind in the future. And yes, the extra damage was sneak attack. You were flanking that rat with Terrek when you attacked it. : ) Note that a 5' diagonal step will place you flanking the northern rat with Kuma this round, if you take it. (You still can't 5' step and shoot unless Kuma kills the north rat. I'll assume if he does you're going ranged.)

Bloody rats.

They are now

Yes, the 5' diagonal step is what I intended. Thanks. Since I had to drop my bow to draw my short sword, I will not be going ranged unless I specifically say I'm picking up the bow or drawing a dagger to throw. If Kuma kills the rat I'll pick another rat to skewer, trying to flank as always.

 

[IndyPendant]

Hrm. Well, actually, you don't have to drop your bow to draw your sword. Just hold it in your offhand. Even sheathing the sword to use the bow is only a move-equiv action (that draws AoO's; don't do it in melee), so you can 5' step, sheathe the sword, and shoot. --Unless you're holding something in your off-hand already, that I'm unaware of?

And yes, I had actually responded to your OOC post before checking the Game thread, so you had already chosen to 5' step. My bad, there. : )
