LE vs. N: Lawful Evil Victorious!

[PJSlavner]

The xeph fires, and misses (rolled 14). He backs up to 0N115E.

 

[ugulu]

Let's take a risk...runs to 5N 45E and hopes for the best.

 

[PJSlavner]

The xeph hits (rolled a 19) for 7 points of damage. The puppeteer is at -6 hit points and dying.

Next up is a bladeling (MMII). Your move.

 

[ugulu]

His metallic spines quivering with Xenophobic umbrage, the Bladeling runs to 85E 35N

 

[PJSlavner]

The bladeling is not wearing armor, so it can run 120 feet (ie. up to the xeth). Would you like to change your move?

 

[ugulu]

Nope - looking to get close, but not too close.

 

[PJSlavner]

OK, just checking. In that case, the xeph fires and hits (rolled a 14), but does only 3 points of damage, which is absorbed by your tough, metallic hide. The xeph looks astonished and annoyed. The bladeling is unharmed. Your move, metal man.

 

[ugulu]

Actually, with the damage reduction, Bladeling Bob is going to charge the Xeph and try to hew him asunder. (Note: where is the 3.5 conversion info? I'm thinking a CR 1 dude should have DR x / bludgeoning OR magic, as the combo DR's are usually reserved for really high level goons; I'm just curious where you find the 3.5 info)

You can find it on the Wizards website. It could be a typo, but in this case arrows won't work anyway. It's too late now, LN already benefited from it.

I also ran a bladeling as LN, so I asked Gansk the same question. The conversion he had said DR/bludgeoning magic, so he interpreted it as bludgeoning and magic. As it is written in the MMII (DR/+1, but only against piercing and slashing), it would imply DR/bludgeoning or magic. I will go with Gansk's interpretation, although it does not matter in this particular combat because the xeth does not have a bludgeoning weapon.

On to the fight:

Bob charges to 5N110E and misses (rolled a 10+2=12 for charge). The xeph drops his bow, pulls out his rapier, and flails wildly (rolled a 6). Your move.
