(LHHS) The Light Hearted Hack n' Slash Game (I)

[Dalamar]

OoC: Actually, if looking carefully, we'll see that he didn't do everybody in his post. He did Mak, Krindor the Weasels and the Kobolds.
Now that means that Yorick, Khelon and Brawn haven't acted this round yet.

OOC: a charge doesn't negate an AoO or cause an AoO. They moved from 10' (Brawn's threat range) to 5' to attack, and didn't just do a 5' step, therefore it's an AoO. And although Brawn's last this round, I was surprised you didn't resolve his stated actions as you resolved everyone else's last round. He's not a round behind everyone - he just goes last in the round?

As just noted, your action is already declared, I just havn't done the second half of the round just yet.

Your right about the charge though, I don't know what I was thinking. I think I was thiking of some feat from some book... let's you charge under reach... or something else. My last few sessions was with a very interestingly equipped group with virtually no WotC products, and a variety of other gaming systems mixed in... fun, but a bit over the top...

Alright, done and set, let's see what would have happened if Brawn had gotten his AO before the first attack from the first Dire Weasel:

Brawn reacts with a quick lash of his tail, 11+4 against a charging critter... hit. 8+2, 10 points of damage to the Dire Weasel, to chest.

Brawn
If they end up next to him by his action, he'll do a full attack action : Claw-Claw-TailSpike on the one(s) close to him.
If they don't attack, or he needs to cover distance, than he'll move and close, drawing and attacking with his Fullblade.

Yorick
Charge the kobold that is located at square L2 assuming he is still standing there. If he moves I will close the distance to wherever he moves to. When I arrive there it will be a charge attack striking with my fist.

(Kalanyr?) Acting on Initiative 6.

(Darkwolf?) I should check to see if he's permanently back yet, or I should figure him into this half of the round...

OOC: cool. thanks! Clarification of full-round attack. Brawn will attack a different weasel with each attack. And rules queries: Wouldn't his attack bonus for natural weapons be +6? (+4 STR, +2 BAB) Oh, I see what you did. -2 for the tail since he has MultiAttack. On the AoO, would the tail be considered the primary weapon, and therefore not get the -2, and get full Str damage? Or would it even get 1.5 x STR, since it's the only natural weapon he was using in that attack? I'll check the wording on natural weapons....

edit: looked it up - seems like the tail would always incur a -2 penalty (-5 w/out Multiattack), but it would get 1.5 x STR damage if used in an AoO.

A creature with multiple natural attacks that only makes one of those attacks in a round makes that attack at its listed attack bonus and with a bonus to damage equal to one and a half times its STR bonus. An attack originally designated as secondary still suffers a -5 penalty to hit.

 

[Creamsteak]

Sounds like you would have dealt 4 more damage than that 10... which would have killled it. Alright, one less dire weasel to worry about... I'll wrap up this combat later tonight after I'm done working on the IR.

 

[reapersaurus]

OOC: cool. thanks for going back - would it make sense that your first 2 rolls for the weasels : "Dire Weasel Attacks, 4+8, 20+8 (3+8), 18+8." would now apply? So Brawn would take max damage (9 points) from the one that hit? bring on the kobolds! (for the other guys.... Brawn's got his claws full at the moment.)

 

[Kalanyr]

Delay my action until last. If someone needs healing heal them.

OOC- Brawn was flatfooted when the weasel's charged, so I believe he doesn't get AoO unless he has the Combat Reflexes feat.

 

[reapersaurus]

OOC: Kal - why was Brawn flatfooted?

 

[Kalanyr]

Because you are flatfooted until you have taken your first action in a combat, Brawn's Init of 2 is inferior to the weasels, since Brawn went after them at the time of their charge he is flatfooted.

Noted. I'll deal with it and other things.... now to do an update
