(OOC) Scourge of Daggerford (Full)

[Prickly Pear]

The only problem with that is that Tommi is the one who's used all his time moving forward and opening doors. If you give it to him, I don't think he'd have had time to drink it.

Anyone can take the healing potion.
I just rolled the dice for fun!

Sorry I didn't get to rolling that round this weekend, gang! I'll try to get to it ASAP, but I'm moving this coming weekend (on top of it being Free Comic Book Day, which is busy at work), so don't bet on it. Who knows, maybe I'll pull it off.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Thanks for your patience everyone!

I should have much more time this coming week (taking a week off work) but my home life is still in flux.

I don't know if I've explained: We are waiting for a condo to be built, which has had many, many delays. Unfortunately, we had to leave our previous home and the new one isn't ready (new estimates say October!) So we've been couch-surfing. A family of four and a golden retriever. It's been hell.

But I love this game and I want to get it moving on to its next (potentially final?) arc. (Arcs take months to years, so don't think I'm saying that it will be over too soon!) I hope (and assume) that you will join me!

Let's see if we can roll two rounds this week! (I know, it sounds ambitious!)

If Escella doesn't make her saving throw, she's down. Not as bad as I'd feared (Lightning bolt isn't quite as scary as fireball, but it's still a classicly destructive spell, and the Daggerfordians are not at their top fighting form...)

Hah! I got off hordebreaker! If I didn't have to move hunter's mark, I might have almost put down that first orc! Dual wielding and hordebreaker. Four attacks at Tier 2. Dang.

Wait, the orcs are using reactions to block melee and reaction attacks against their boss. And they are using reactions to attack people who don't attack them? And they aren't giving advantage to anyone attacking them somehow?

I think it is either or...

They give disadvantage to anyone attacking the Red Wizard (like as if he's dodging) and if you attack him, they can use their reaction to attack you (limited to their reach, so melee). They do not grant advantage to anyone for anything.

So they can not add defense to someone else for free? I don't get it. If he was dodging, he wouldn't get an attack. If you declare your action is to attacks someone near you, you don't also give people disadvantage on those attacks. If you just want to say they have a cool feat, that's fine. And it doesn't matter as I attacked the orcs directly. But I didn't want to do that.

Not quite...sentinel feat fighter, protection fighting style...various ways to do that. No need for house rules or anything (although monster often have specific attacks and powers based on their role)
