Rathan's Problem Down Under [3.5 OOC/Recruiting One More: Need Arcane Type]

[Ambrus]

The campaign seems to be shaping up and the role-playing has been fun to date. The first combat was a little rocky, but the use of a battle map should do away with that earlier confusion. Feel free to be descriptive in detailing the action; it makes for a fun read. Keep it up everybody!

 

[Ambrus]

Note: Keep in mind when targeting spell effects that those with a spread area of effect, such as entangle, are centered on a grid intersection rather than the center point of a square. So if the intersection were assumed to be the upper right corner of O-11 then creature #4 would fall within the area of the entangle spell.

 

[Rathan]

If you'd like 4 to be included in the entangle that's fine.. but he'll just exit it more than likely with a 5 foot step next round... however that 5 foot step will slow him down some as it will count as ten as he moves half his movement speed when in it... I just rolled his save and he made the DC to not be fully entangled if you wish to do so...

No question is too silly Unleashed.... if you are confused by something.. ask... sometime I can be a bit confusing in the way I do things.. I'm stubborn that way LOL.. heh

Nope, no confusion. I simply posted a question before I finished reading the section which covered it ... what can I say, except I wasn't really with it at the time.

Rathan, I have a couple of basic questions on the Flaming Sphere spell. What's your opinion?

1. Does it always start from the caster or can it appear anywhere within its range?

2. Will it ignite the grassland?

 

[Neurotic]

Also, move Berrek to S-26 after last shot...

1. after striking #6 is it obvious (at least to those with spellcraft and/or knowledge(arcana)) that the monster has active magical effects (in which case Berrek woudl use detect magic)

2. would Berrek abilities work on undead? He needs to make sneak attack not do damage for it to work so 'immune to sneak attack damage' does not preclude let say lich from getting it's spells stripped. On the other hand they could immune fully and completely to sneak attacks and thus to his abilities

 

[Rathan]

Ghostcat: You can have it start anywheres within the spells range.. that's how *I* as a dm usually allow it.. and no it would not UNLESS you wanted to set your new grass as part of the entangle on fire as the rest of the grassland around the mound is already burnt and charred....

Berrek: If you cast detect Magic you would notice what the other of your group noticed.... Anton I believe... all of them are emminating some sort of necromantic aura.. however 6's seems to be a bit more potent.... as you have never encountered anything like 6 before you would have no idea if your sneak attack ability would have any effect on it or not.... you'll just have to try and find out...

 

[Neurotic]

I understand that about #6, I'm asking in general about undead (and constructs and other such creatures)

 

[Rathan]

well with NORMAL constructs and undead they don't have vitals to sneak attack.... thus they are immune to them.... however as 6 is something of an oddity I created.. you never know if the sneak attack damage will take effect... you'll have to try it and find out...

Eltyr loads his crossbow apprently (you doing anything else my friend this round?)

I intended for Eltyr to make a standard action spot check, looking around the whole area to make sure all their enemies were in sight, then load his crossbow ... sorry if I wasn't clear.
