Very cool

 

[Rechan]

Is the Thunderclap a Close burst, or is it a ranged burst?

 

[WhatGravitas]

Is the Thunderclap a Close burst, or is it a ranged burst?

I was under the expression that there's nothing like a ranged burst, but rather that the lack of "Close" means it provokes opportunity attacks.

Cheers, LT.

The Scorching Burst is a ranged burst. As would Fireball.

A close burst has the caster as the target square.

/facepalm. Right... mixed up my blasts and bursts. No late night posting for me any longer!

Cheers, LT.

 

[GoodKingJayIII]

Sorry guys, it's a close blast, not burst. I've corrected the statblock.

Close blasts are the new replacement for cones, as I understand them. Bursts are either centered on the caster and emanate from the caster's square, or are part of a ranged attack.

This burst and blast nonsense may be the death of my poor, dyslexic brain!

 

[Nine Hands]

Unless you wanted to change the fluff to the substance being somehow sticky or like a steam cloud that hangs about until "waved away" (i.e. a save is made).

Hmm, now I'm going to have to make a "sugarmancer" who throws gobs of hot molten sugar at you. I can very quickly stick my fingertips into simmering/boiling water with no particular ill effect, but I tried that once with melted sugar in a pan and instantly got a 3rd degree burn on my finger tip (a little tiny 3rd degree burn, but a big nasty inconvenient blister on my right index finger nonetheless.

I'm sorry, what were we talking about?

MoltenPeepMancer...

We were cooking peeps (those little yellow marshmellow things) over a campfire and I got nasty burns on my leg when the guy next to me broke it open. He of course burned the crap out of his hand. Now we stick the peeps in the fire and let em burn. They won't hurt anyone ever again.

The stuff stuck like napalm.

 

[GoodKingJayIII]

Been a few days since I posted here, but I've got a new one for ya! I may have miscalculated the stats for this guy... I'm going on the assumption that solo monsters get base (3)HP+Con Score, a +5 bonus to Attacks, AC, Defenses, and Damage. I haven't caught all the monster articles out there, so I certainly may have missed something. But I wanted to try my hand at a high level baddy. Hope you enjoy!

Sunlord
Level 28 Solo Soldier

These unique angels are typically the most powerful servitors of sun and light gods. At 12' tall, these great beings typically appear as columns of golden, radiant light encased in polished plate armor. These mighty beings typically serve as the bodyguards and arbiters for their lords. In rare cases, they might be dispatched to bequeath mortals with a task or dole out their gods justice. In fighting form, they wield a massive rod made of pure light and massive shield nearly as tall as the Sunlord itself, though the angel wields it with ease
