PCs Still Kicking Puppies OOC [CLOSED, original players still welcome]

[Paxus Asclepius]

it's reasonable for a player to look up the info, as long as his character doesn't use it.

It's kind of annoying when you know things OOC that you can't use IC. For example, Gwyn can't do any damage unless he confirms a critical; he doesn't know that, so he'll keep shooting arrows. When he learns that evil weapons will do damage, he'll likely go after Ezuvial with his claws, even though I know that half-fiends don't deal damage as evil weapons, despite being outsiders with the Evil subtype. Woe is me.

Woe is me.

Woe is us, only one of us can truly damage him... Well, Accalon can do one damage if he rolls an 8... (8+2+1=11)

Maybe a change in tactics is in order...?

Also in the DMG it states that a character that hits the target realizes that it did no damage... So I don’t think it would be insane of you to shot shooting arrows if you know it’s doing no good.

Or two... Alicia routinely does more than 10 hps of damage.

Grappling won't work since he can teleport at will. (Though we don't know that yet, I guess.)

Yet she isn't there... :\

Grappling won't work since he can teleport at will. (Though we don't know that yet, I guess.)

If he's teleporting than he isn't attacking... besides where he's at now Lydia is going to have a hard time reaching him... :\

Aligor has a good chance to hurt him too, if raging, and power attacks(1D10+8), but then it will be hard to hit his high AC.

And of course, almost anyone can hurt him on a crit.

And, also of course, the characters have the option of surrender... or running for the hills.

I do believe I voted for running for the hills OOC...

but what'cha going to do IC when you get an offer like that?

 

[Telsar]

BS, I stopped at Accalon's action since you said you might edit what you were going to do next. I'll just wait till, say, tomorrow morning, and then go with you fighting defensively as you stated.

 

[Telsar]

I was going to wait on Serpenteye for tactics with Alicia, but then I figured, at least at first, her attack would probably be the same as usual, Power Attack and Reckless Attack.

Next up, Accalon and T'aria. Of course, no one has to wait for their initiative to post, but if I think things have changed significantly by the time it's your action, I may wait till you can verify what you want to do.

You really don't have to wait for me if you feel I'm breaking the momentum of the game, I don't have a lot of internet-time. Alicia is quite simple and usually easy to predict. You guessed correctly, she'll continue her usual tactics.

That's what I figured. But now, you might want to go with just Reckless (no Power Attack), since you are taking a -4 for cover, and -2 for his aura of menace. At least until someone drops (so you'll lose the -4) or you hit (so you lose the -2 from the aura). 'Course, Alicia isn't a brilliant tactician, I imagine.
