OOC: Endur's Return to TOEE part 2

[Endur]

here's the part about noticing saves...

I need to think about this for a couple of days before giving my reaction.

 

[Thanee]

Sure.


Here's how I 'envision' it to be...

If you target a spell on a creature, which has a save, there is some sort of mental struggle or something similar when you try to penetrate the creature's defenses with the spell energy, which is why you notice, whether you succeed (win the struggle) or not (lose the struggle). Spell resistance would work in a similar way.

For effect spells, there is no such 'feedback', because there is no such 'struggle', you just fire the spell effect at the creature like a weapon.

In addition to that, there often might be visual effects, which hint about what happened, i.e. a rogue dodging an area blast completely is certainly noticeable.

Also, I'll have to go looking for it, but I seem to recall seeing a feat (mabye it was a class ability) recently that lets you fool the caster into believing you just failed a will save against their spell.

That ring a bell w/ anyone?

 

[Thanee]

Nope.

They make feats for everything, these days. Glad we don't need a feat to breathe.

“Damn, this place is huge!” Lenya says, while they ride on the rail.

Best estimate is that the party thinks the crater is over one mile in diameter. Raner has no idea how many tunnels have been mined in this place, but there could be several hundred rooms and chambers.

Having difficulty getting online regularly. Moving, etc. Should have reliable, regular access again by September.

Toriah was upset at the amount of gold Lenya was offering, especially considering the original offer (of 1).

Edit: When I look at that, September seems so far away. And yet, what with this moving, it seems so so close!

 

[Thanee]

Just a quick pointer to my PbP campaign starting soon, in case someone missed it.

I cannot guarantee spots, of course, I'll try to make it fair for everyone who applied.

If Raner had Great Cleave, he could have had another attack on the Trolls. Of course, its not often you expect to cleave through multiple Trolls in a round.

Nice 70 point critical hit though.

 

[Pyrex]

Yeah, that's definately nice.

Great Cleave keeps moving toward the top of the 'must-have' feats list...

 

[Endur]

Level 8 brings the third level of Dwarven Fighter substitution.

Another d12 for hit points.

And for a feat: Heavy Armor Expertise: +1 to armor class while wearing heavy armor.

Also, not sure if you saw this, but dwarven fighter levels get one extra skill beyond the normal fighter skills: Knowledge Skill: Dungeoneering.
