Nocturne of Sorrow, Orsal J

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Dorrin deals 2, total 3)

*The incorporeal foe manages to barely miss Hasin.*

(OOC: Jace, Quozen, and Gloria go now)

 

[jaker2003]

Jace turns on the incorporeal creature, readying the wand to channel positive energy into it.
Jace will seek a flanking position, I think one is available across from Hasin?
touch+Dex; minimum CL CLW (1d20+1=17, 1d8+1=6)
OOC: Now how do I roll the 50% miss chance? Thanks for the advice.
50% Miss Chance: Even roll hits (1d20=17)

ooc: Use a d2, d6, d20 or d100 and call out your chosen spread in the note section. That way, you're locked in before the roll.

OOC-but if you miss the creature do to the etherial miss chance, do you actually expend a charge from the wand?

 

[jaker2003]

OOC-but if you miss the creature do to the etherial miss chance, do you actually expend a charge from the wand?

I would say yes, because expending a charge is how you cast the spell from the wand. But it's a touch spell; if he's not there to be touched, then the charge is held for the next round. Let's see what Rystil says, though.

 

[Bison]

OOC - strange that I dont remember this ever happening in a home game I played in. and if it was a ray from a wand I would agree 100% and say the charge is expended, but I just envision with a touch spell, you would trigger the release of the charge once the wand meets resistance from the creature. But I suppose I can see this going etiher way as well

 

[ethandrul]

As the DM for that home game, I would first say that the miss chance is 01-50 on a d100 (a 50% chance to miss) and a touch spell isn't expended if it doesn't touch something because touch spells allow you to hold a charge. The same holds true for all touch spells that I can think of.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: You guys are totally right about keeping it on a miss chance or a missed attack. However, incorporeal creatures actually don't have a miss chance. Instead (direct quote--)

Even when hit by spells or magic weapons, it has a 50% chance to ignore any damage from a corporeal source

So you lose the charge--it hits for no damage)

"I would suggest attacking the one that buried Valan," Gloria suggests to Jace, considering that the other creature is both weak and much more difficult to hit.

 

[jaker2003]

"Good idea, how about shooting it with your special bolts while I get into position?"

(Intitiative Order:

[InVinoVeritas]

Quozen tosses the oil on the grave-monster.

Ranged Touch Attack (1d20+4=21)

"Light it up!"

He then runs to get the grave monster between himself and Jace.
