[OOC] WD's Against the Orcs

[Walking Dad]

You can see N5 from V9.

Some people interpret Divine Challeng in that way, that you have to engage the target in the same round as you use the power.

To engage the target, you must either attack it or end your turn adjacent to it. If none of these events occur by the end of your turn, the marked condition ends and you can’t use divine challenge on your next turn.

Opinions?

Re N5: I can see N5? Great. Toasting time ...

Re Divine Challenge: Looks pretty clear to me (unfortunately).
Attack or move next to a target, otherwise it's not working.

How do you like the mapping in the attachment of this post?

The file was to big. Does anybody knew a free site where you can uploald xls files, so that others can access them , too?

Assuming a 28 hits the Ogre's AC...

Everyone, please try to attack the Ogre, as you all gain a +2 power bonus on attacks against it until the end of my next turn.

If I have to, I'll have Paranthraxus delay until the end of next round to give everyone a chance to gain that bonus.

 

[Padreigh]

Well, my attack takes place before you activate the power. But since I am at +2 next turn I'll go and use a Ranged spell for a change.

You could hold your action. Or is that too meta-gamey?

 

[Insight]

Also, for those of you who are injured, if you spend an action point, you regain 6hp due to Paranthraxus' Inspiring Presence.

 

[Padreigh]

Well, it's B'n'B after all so I have no problems with meta-gaming.

But I would rather have the +2 next round anyway. That way I could move to get a better shot at the orc and the ogre and cast Icy Rays.

"On your turn, you must engage the target you challenged or challenge a different target. To engage the target, you must either attack it or end your turn adjacent to it. If none of these events occur by the end of your turn, the marked condition ends and you can’t use divine challenge on your next turn."

-DDI Compendium

I took this statement to mean that you had to engage a perviously challenged target or challenge a new target based on the "If none of these events occur by the end of your turn," state ment at the end of the quote. If you interpret it to mean I have to engage any challenged target every turn that's fine. I'll switch it around.

I don't want to make the encounter easier than it's supposed to be just want to do my part.

Niehaus, we had the same dicussion in another game. I thought the same at the beginning (and why should the power have a range - ranged weapon paladin?).
