And if I ever get to Denmark (it could happen),

Yeah.. right..

you could treat me to a real Danish beer - who knows, maybe it would revive my taste for beer!

Oh boy.. were to start..

There are hundreds of beers brewed in Denmark, which btw only has 5.5 million inhabitants, unfortunately most are lagers.

But we could start out at Carlsberg Breweries, which is a 3 minute walk from where I live.

...welcome to the ignore list...

You know one of the things I've learned after over 3,500 posts?.....








....the ignore list is for amateurs!

 

[Artoomis]

Yeah.. right..

Aw, c'mon now.... it could happen. Especially if we have a good reason to go - like to visit a friend after we've really have a nice visit when you come to the Great Pacific Northwest - one of the greatest places on the globe!! (Note: "...one of..." - I'm not exlcuding Denmark as possibly one of the others )

BTW, my wife does drink a beer from time to time. A brewery tour of Denmark. Sounds pretty good to me - even if I didn't drink any beer!

He is not on the actual ignore list, I just ignore him. So if he comes to his senses, I will notice.

Btw, K, so you finally managed to get past me in post numbers, next step is to go for quality.

And, btw, K, did you know you were also on that list for a while, I cannot recall why, but anyways, that is water under the bridge.

Bonedagger, say welcome to the ignore list, which has the exclusive members of:

Magus_Jerel and Bonedagger.

Goodbye.

Bonedagger is very difficult to discuss rules with. You have to be patient if you want to gain a new perspective on rules.

But basically, I have not yet decided if he argues just to argue or he genuinely does not clearly understand the rules or he genuinely has a different slant on the rules (i.e. interprets sentences in a different manner which results in different rules) which I'm just too dense to get (and I generally do not consider myself a dense person). The jury is still out, but he and I have yet to come to consensus, or even be able to follow each other's points of view.

Personally, I disagree with some of what he posted here as I did on another thread.

My suggestion, either ignore him, or realize that you have to put in a bit of effort in order to understand him. I'm not yet convinced that he is insincere or trolling.


Getting back to the main issue here, no, you cannot stand up from prone and do a partial charge.

However, you can stand up from prone and ready an action to partial charge. If your DM lets you get away with a munchkin type ready declaration such as "I charge as soon as the Orc breathes", more power to you. But, I personally would not allow that as per the instructions on Readying in the DMG.

But, there are still other tactics such as Delaying and waiting until the Orc gets next to you and then getting up to attack. But, this has the disadvantage of him attacking before you do (since it is not Readying) and it delaying your initiative. On the other hand, it has the advantage of waiting and seeing and possibly doing an action other than attacking such as casting a spell or something.

 

[Artoomis]

Delaying, of course, gives flexibility that Readying does not - you can still choose to do an action no matter what heppens around you.

Gotcha.

Btw, K, so you finally managed to get past me in post numbers, next step is to go for quality.

AFAIK, you were never ahead, but that's not the point anyways.

EDIT: Or did you register before me? Ah...there...you did. Hmm...never noticed you around until much later...weird.

And as far as quality is concerned, who ever said I was going for quality in the first place? That, and quality is matter of perspective anyway.

And, btw, K, did you know you were also on that list for a while

Yup.

I cannot recall why

I don't either. But I rarely remember why people put me on their ingore list (probably because I don't care?). Although, sometimes I remember why, but I don't remember who. It's a pain.

 

[AGGEMAM]

AFAIK, you were never ahead,

FYI, I had severe head start on you from the old board, when you joined.

You mean if I want him to actually get them.

And that sounds just fine to y'all? As long as you pause in the middle, you can fit more into your 6 seconds? And it all depends on what the Orc over there decides to do?

If that sounds reasonable to you folks then I guess I'm done. I certainly wouldn't want some pretentious guy in a tiny country on the other side of the Atlantic to start ignoring me!
