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

BTW, if I'm reading the rules right, being disabled means you only get a move or std. action, and a withdraw taken when you don't get a full round's action is a standard action. And taking any standard action while disabled causes you to be dying. Which means a disabled character can't withdraw (w/o dying), so she would have to just move, provoking an attack of opportunity. Which in this DM's opinion, totally sucks.

I want disabled characters to be able to stagger away from their enemies, both you from them and them from you. So, as a house rule, withdraw while disabled is a move action, not a standard one. Just letting you all know, since Alicia just benefitted from it, and some day NPCs may stagger away from you too. :)

Telsar, I want to know if you would consider the following actions for Aligor.

Withdraw, moving into Boone's place, as he will want Bane to distract the bat long enough for him to get inside. While looking at the bats immense size, ALigor had a thought. If Boones door is only meant for creatures walking and human sized, then surely this large bat with a 15 foot wingspan can't fly in. That's his theory. So would you allow a withdraw into Boone's? Boone would probably be watching this transpire, so when the dwarf made his way to the doorway, hopefully he would open it? Your call....

Thanks, :), it saves me from having to roll up another character (maybe :uhoh: ).

You can withdraw into Boone's, and Boone left his door open so that wouldn't be difficult. Even though the bat has 15' wingspan, most of that is thin wings, so it counts as Large, not Huge. A Large creature can squeeze through a 5' space, but it would have to use ground movement to do so, not flight, so it would probably take a full round to get into Boone's (flight to the door, ground move through it). But it could do it. And depending on the orders given it by Azallin, it probably will.

And not that it should influence your decision or anything, but I imagine an antique shop has a few valubable, vulnerable items in it that a large bat would probably knock over. :)

True, but his thinking is: If he was to get into Boone's, I am sure Boone would close the door behind him, to make sure that bat wouldn't get into his shop...which Aligor would be saying to do...

Boone might close the door, if he's available to. If he's, say, hiding under a table, then he can't. So you won't know whether he'll shut the door or not until you try it.
 

Telsar, if you wanted to add the part about Loni's reaction to Clara’s dealing in your previous post that’s cool, I’m willing to edit my own post…

(Sorry, about that Accalon not to worried about giving to much money, but at the same time he doesn’t want to be robbed blind, but of course he is worried about how Loni reacted to the whole thing.)

PS I also had the big bed being on the far side of the room… Clara couldn’t bolt as easy for the door that way.

I edited the post to include Loni's reaction, so if that changes anything, then, um... change it. :) The room is crowded enough that it's virtually impopssible for Clara to bolt without Accalon getting an attack of opportunity. However, he'd have to stand right in the doorway to outright stop her.

No need to it was the reaction I was expecting. :) (I'm rather curious to see her reaction to Accalon's last comments.)

Great, hopefully she has more sense than Valasia, then again she's dark haired so she should be fine. ;) If she bolts he'll just try to grapple her and talk some sense into her. :)

Not really his style, I just don't see him threaten a woman in that manner. :)
