Kulan: Knightfall's Crisis in Bluffside Game [OOC]

Knightfall · Sep 30, 2020

Ha! I knew I saw something, somewhere. On page 33 of the DMG, it gives a variant rule for using a different ability modifier for a skill based on a unique situation where you can't use the normal modifier.

Hmm, I don't know if that really counts in this situation. Maybe, it could.

The fight has been long and tough. Everyone is tense. The doppelganger isn't likely to be swayed by bold speech. Tim's size would be more frightening. There would be smell of Tim's sweat and its own blood.

I will simply say that Tim is on his own for this check. No one can help him with it.

So, yes, go ahead.

There is a feat for that I believe? Initmidating Prowess? Or is it PF?

That ends the fight against the doppelganger. Well done! XP coming up shortly.

It is now prone and is offering to surrender. What do you want to do with it?

BTW, how hard would you rate that encounter from 1 to 10?

I think a 7 as well. It was interesting with the fog, but the constant rolling on each turn was a bit much.

JustinCase · Sep 30, 2020

Oh, and we get to level up! Yeah! (Insert kobold-faced smiley here)

Neurotic · Sep 30, 2020

I found it not hard at all

Rolling online is just a case of adding needed rolls. It would be much harder (longer) in RL.

Interesting setup and powerful opponent. I'd use his instant change ability to change into one of us between each losing in the fog

Only the dog could distinguish the real one then.

By the way, I’ll level up Tuck next week when I’m back from holiday. Haven’t got my books here.

Yeah. That's a Pathfinder feat. I found a reference to it online. It allows you to add the Strength bonus to Intimidate on top of the Charisma bonus.

Who else leveled up?

Okay, no worries.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if I was interpreting the need for constant Spot and Listen checks correctly. I probably should have made the fog just give a straight 20% concealment. When it was trying to hide and moving (but not at its full speed) it had a -5 penalty to its Hide and Move Silently checks. If it had gotten away at that last moment, it would have attempted to conceal itself while running, which would have been a -20 penalty. It would have been a longshot at best.

There was a moment I was going to do that, but it was another point where I rolled a 1. When it tried to create a distraction, I was going to have it shift into Tuck's form and then attack Big Tim from behind. Oh well.
