[OOC] Pool of Radiance

[Bloodweaver1]

Just curious what the Ogre rolled and what was Aylor's AC against it (for both strikes)? I was under the impression that her combined AC (dodge, titan fighting, etc) covered her for everything but a Crit., but then again I could be wrong. Would not be the first time.

Thanks!

He's not a standard ogre. His attack roll was 17 without modifiers (> 30 with modifiers). He only made one attack.

As you said, Aylor's AC was 28 against him.
[SBLOCK](14, +1 dodge, +4 racial dodge vs Giants (Titan Fighting is not effective against giants; but even with another +3 he would have hit her (barely )), +4 armor (Mage Armor, +2 deflection (Protection from Evil, +3 Combat Expertise).[/SBLOCK]

Ah… I see. That is one strong Ogre.
Though I am curious to why the Titan Fighting feat does not apply against the Ogre, or does it.
[sblock=Titan Fighting] When you designate a creature at least one size category larger than you as the target of your Dodge feat, you apply your racial dodge bonus to Armor Class against monsters of the giant type against attacks from that opponent (regardless of its creature type) instead of the +1 bonus granted by the Dodge feat.[/sblock]

[Thanee]

The reason is, because you then are allowed to apply your racial bonus instead of your Dodge bonus, but against a giant you already are allowed to do both, so it's worse to use Titan Fighting, since you cannot use Dodge anymore and you do not gain any advantage you do not already have.

A quick reading might lead you to the conclusion, that you get a bonus equal to your racial bonus, but that isn't the case. You just broaden the number of targets your racial bonus works against... the bonus itself doesn't change, gets duplicated, or anything along those lines.

How we doin' here?

 

[Mista Collins]

by the looks of it, the group isn't doing very well.

 

[Thanee]

Looks are often deceiving...

Sorry, I wasn't around over the weekend (3 day trip to Paris) and forgot to tell you about it.

Will continue tonight, when I get home from work.

Ah, Pari'

Hope your trip was fun, etc. etc. Welcome back.

Welcome back. I enjoyed Paris during my travels through Europe.
