Pathfinder 1E INTEREST/RECRUIT - TIDERULER - THE FALL OF LAHOLT (HIGH-LEVEL CHARS)

[KahlessNestor]

It doesn't negate Improved Initiative. The feat still pulls the player average up. Everyone is still rolling.

 

[jmucchiello]

But why is one (or two) player(s) paying for it when the others are not. Feats aren't free.

 

[jmucchiello]

The monk probably will evade a fireball.

Average will go up by 4/#PC in our case less than one if there is one PC with Init. not worth it

 

[KahlessNestor]

Pretty sure Daxio has it. I take it for most characters.

 

[Neurotic]

I never did, it sounds great, but high roll either from you or the enemy invalidates it, it only affects first round and only high level chars have good chance and powers to make it good

 

[Archon Basileus]

Yeah, I think I've got a nice idea from your debate, and I can say where everyone's heart goes on the topic, so to speak.

I'm just gonna follow through with the character-by-character initiative and break the posts in character-couple batches. That way I can give the enemies another level of strategy to work with and the game will be fair to everyone. I'll just roll enemies in blocks, and if there's a sensible difference on their own initiatives, I'll roll two blocks of enemies to reflect the distinction.

Guys, finishing a project here
. I'll post again between today and tomorrow. I' ve scheduled the games now. Every day at least one post is scheduled to come out. Skept two days because of this project! Later!

 

[jmucchiello]

I just need the answer to one thing then I can finish Zyara's action. She still has 3 attacks to make.

 

[Archon Basileus]

It's on the final OOC section of the post. He soft fell to the south. You can check his position on the map, Joe!

 

[jmucchiello]

Zyara just tried to trip him AGAIN. Did he softfall AGAIN? I can't post the rest of her turn without knowing if he fell or not. My post so far says I'm waiting for GM response.

 

[Archon Basileus]

Hold on, rolliiiing.... Nope! This time he falls!

 

[Archon Basileus]

Also, re-read the post. I had considered the last attack as out of reach since he soft falls out of Zyara's range. But it makes sense to roll a trip against him, since the actions happen in sequence. So Zyara crits him bringing him down. But you could just consider the CMD against your roll at that level - no need for me to roll a defense, since he couldn't escape the trip on him, only the effects of the horse trip - he only soft falls once and the crit's against his CMD. So you never needed me for the second one.

 

[jmucchiello]

I didn't know if softfall was related to the horse or not.

 

[Archon Basileus]

Well, the way I see it, he only gets to soft fall when you target the horse. If you go for him, it's against his CMD. And I missed one important thing: his own trip happens at the same attack group as the horse's trip. Rule-wise I thing Zyara basically tried to unhorse the rider as the horse fell. I had it backwards when I thought I had to land the rider and then apply Zyara's attack.

 

[jmucchiello]

Yeah. Sorry about that. I didn't see the Thursday update. I'm up to date now and I've finished Zyara's turn. Damn mists.

 

[Archon Basileus]

My bad, really, Joe! Still getting used to the ungodly number of attacks Zyara manages to pull!

 

[Shayuri]

I'm a little lost in init, we didn't start a new round yet, yeah? Don't want to hold people up waiting for my turn again.

 

[jmucchiello]

AB, Flurry of blows is very descriptive.

Shay, This is still round 2. Zyara acted early in round 2. I don't remember the rest of the initiatives though.

Thanks for clarifying initiative, man! I finished work now and I need a shut-eye. Will update after that.
