Malvoisin's Savage Tide OOC Thread *Resurrected*

[GwydapLlew]

Can't post Col right now (cursed Fog in ohio keeping me from really getting to where I'm going so I have to post from a hotel late a night)

Where were you in Ohio, stonegod?

Where were you in Ohio, stonegod?

Findlay last night, Toledo today (until Sun).

Ah, that's shame. I'm about three hours south of you. I hope the holidays are making you fat and content!

I'll be driving south, but not through Columbus (Dayton/Cincinati). I'll wave.

Hey Mal,

I'm just lurking over here a bit to see how the Savage Tide crew are going because of my (all good) experiences with your Shackled City game.

If you need someone to fill in with the Savage Tide crew, even if only temporarily, I'd be happy to fill a slot.

edit: Actually, Col also threatens the Rhagodessa with his longspear, so that will make THREE AOO's....we shall see what happens, but mayhap Chongo won't need to act after all.

Y'all going to hate me for this, but according to Skip Williams, if the monster has Improved Grab, it pulls Chongo instead of entering Chongo's space, thus not provoking AoO. But, you are all correct in that moving into the square does provoke an AoO. BTW: That sequence of articles is good to refresh on grappling.

The one bene is that it does not move next to Col.

Of course, nothing makes it *have* to drag Chongo...

Yay, Legildur!

Yay, Legildur!

Hey Stonegod!

And about your grappling/Improved Grab situation, note the following (I don't know the relative sizes of Chongo and the Rhagodessa): "...improved grab works only against opponents at least one size category smaller than the creature."

Great, Legildur! As I said, it's too early to pull that trigger just yet, but its great to know you're out there watching. You'd be a great addition to this crew.

Nonsense, I don't hate you for this at all....can't speak for your fellow players, however. Ahem.

Alrighty, no AOOs then, and an update to the map. This does make more sense, really, anyway. And who am I to argue with The Sage?

And about your grappling/Improved Grab situation, note the following (I don't know the relative sizes of Chongo and the Rhagodessa): "...improved grab works only against opponents at least one size category smaller than the creature."

Appreciated, Legildur, but I've always hated that rule. I prefer to house rule that improved grab works against opponents the same size or smaller. Otherwise, grabbers get hosed in my opinion.

'Kay, the conclusion of round 9 is coming up.
