The Battles of Syrael!!

[Al the Absentminded]

You forgot to add in the str modifiers for both creatures. +4 for Heclar and the spider. Not that it would matter, still need a natural roll of 12 vs 1. EDIT: I edited Heclar's 2nd round actions.

-Blood

Um - I think he put in the strength -

Er, Penance, the Spider gets his bonuses how? +4 Str, +4 Multiple Legs, +8 Huge Size, for +16?

Heclar gets +4 Str, +4 Improved Trip for +8.

-Albert

Combat analysis:

Hang on. I just checked the Improved Trip feat - Heclar gets a +4 bonus on trip checks, so it's 8 vs. 16 on his attempts (however, this isn't enough to affect this round).

Damage output observed for the critter is 11 and 17. Seeing as how its strength seems to be 18 or 19, this damage output means it either got a critical on Draethan, or it can do about 3d6+4 or 2d8+4 on its regular attacks. Or, worse, those might have been low rolls.

excellent anaylisis, usually I'm the PC trying hard to second-guess the dm! *grins* just watch out for those creatures with the band of combat expertise.

Oh, by the way, is there anything _instantly_ obvious about the spider to someone with a Knowledge: Nature check of 16? (I'm taking 0 on the roll, I suppose.)

Hmmmm... taking zero; an excellent concept that I will remember! I'll have to ask around and see if that is supported by the mechanics, but i like the idea!

Anyways, the spider looks well fed; looks like the hairs (or fur, or whatever type of covering a spider has) is a little heavy for this location/season.

Im going to try to get another couple sets in, here is a question;

Do I end this round when I post tomorrow, or do I keep going and do another (two more?) rounds before I post? what is your player preferences?

And then there is me...I don't worry about it. I'll either kill it or it will kill me, I don't worry about analyzing it! LOL.

I'd go ahead and finish the combat before posting it up in the IC thread...especially considering combat is what slows PBP down the most.

And so It is Draethans' turn; he sheds the web.

True. I think that is why I like this method so much. It will get easier as time oges on and I know your' guy's preferences for combat and can just 'assume' the right thing if you don't log on.


And JKason, feel free to add prose; makes my job easier just to cut and paste, instead of worring about roleplaying your character wrong.

Great...I'm going out on the porch for a cigar and a beer. It has been a long day. I'll check back in a little later.

Weel summons a staff made of pure energy that flings itself at the enemy. George spider is surprised, but laughs at the pitiful 3 damage dealt.






*edit I think that I won't finish the entire combat tho; I'll probably do several rounds. I would recomend you all use the system BLoodweaver is, that is very effective, especially since it you can keep it updated as numbers/events change.

Also, Lot: your post confuses me this is the abilites and modifiers of being stuck in a web: -2 to attack and -4 to dex, moves only half speed, cannot charge or run. You could either draw your bow, swords, try to break free, or cry in the hypothetical corner.

Drake attempts vigorously to untangle himself. somehow, he frees himself from the tangled mass.

Is an excape artist check a standard action, or a full? Could you stand this turn?

And im going to split for 30mins to an hour and try and get ahold of Cerubus so I can figure what to do with Alexcia. Cheers.

 

[penance]

is this currently correct?

 

[Lot]

Sorry about the confusion. I wasn't sure how webbed up I was; whether I was just stuck in place or pinned to the ground with webby nastiness. Anyway, I think Ostu would be the kind of guy who hates being pinned down, so he'll continue to try to free himself until he is successful. If he can escape before combat ends, he'll move up on the left flank of the creature and try to flank it. He'll also draw his swords.
