Scales of War #1 Rescue at Rivenroar (Full)

[Thanee]

Anyone know any items that grant movement as a free action?

Boots of Eagerness [AV]. But they are Level 9.

Re: Perception ... I was wondering about that earlier.

Is it a Minor Action to try to spot the goblin with Perception?

Because, when I re-read it in the PHB, it seemed to state that you would need a Standard Action for making an active roll (otherwise, without an action, your Passive Perception is used).

Which is correct?

Pre-errata Boots of Eagerness would be awesome. But they got severely nerfed: now they cost a minor to take a move, rendering them nigh worthless for the action-saturated leader archetypes (still good for many strikers and defenders tho).

Making a perception check to find a creature is "usually a minor action" with no action required when the DM uses our passive perception. A careful search of an area takes a minute or longer, but that's not the kind of use we're talking about here. Rules reference on pp. 299-300 of Heroes of the Fallen Lands, among other sources.

Minor Action to take a look around with Perception, or else passive as above.

The full Standard Action for the Perception Search routine, in other words- I agree.

Ok, thanks! Not quite up to speed with all the rules changes they did over time.

Please feel free to post your turns for Freggo, Kali and Ah-shahran (then it's the Ogre), I've messaged TSS twice but using the 24 hour rule he has until 12.52 GMT to reply (another 6.5 hours from now).

If TSS hasn't posted then I will take his turn and then do any others that have posted ahead.

Cheers Goonalan

Oh, sure. NOW you roll crappy on your 2d10.

I'd post but my turn is going to be highly influenced by other player's positioning, so I'd rather wait and see what people do.

It was the invisible hand of magnus at work there- see his previous damage rolls...

Lol. We need to get that dwarf some Weapon Training and a Craghammer, stat.

To be fair to him, he has done the very important job of soaking that horrific amount of damage!
