The Invasion of Mori OOC [3.5][planar][PAUSED]

[Voidrazor]

Alrighty, that's more than fair. And if you decide later that further nerfs are necessary I'll understand. The FoP PrC is pretty over the top.

As for the current combat, I have no objections. Sounds like an Anti-Magic Field?

The FoP's Etherealness works just like the spell. So yeah, equipment would become ethereal as well.

Let me see if I've got this right:

The kobold disappeared.

Rose has either been Dispelled or has walked into an Antimagic Field (or some similar effect.

The right-middle statue is a Stone Golem currently attacking Snargle.

 

[Voadam]

Is the 64 fire damage to Snargle after the 20 fire resistance from his ring? And does his spell resistance 12 stop it?

 

[Dichotomy]

Being Rose's abysmal initiative, would it be at all acceptable to wait to decide his action until after a bit of the round gone by?

Otherwise, he is probably going to just delay until he can see the kobold...

It's probably not an AMF, according to the information you now possess - though of course you'll want to talk amongst yourselves so your characters arrive at that conclusion.

The statues are not made of stone; they are of iron. With that, and the fireball not hurting it . . . I don't mind saying you may have strong suspicions about it.


Voadam, SR didn't stop the damage, though I did not adjust for fire resistance. I should have made that clear.

Dichotomy, sure, feel free to post later rather than writing in actions and having to edit.

An SR of 12 is only going to possibly be a factor against low level spellcasters or wands. I didn't really expect the worm that walks kobold sorcerer to have a caster level below 11.

I'll edit in my hp title bar status for the resistance.

Gentle Reminder on Metagaming

Round four actions are going up, and I noticed something.

A quick reminder - I know the monsters are there in the books and you can look them up, but please try to refrain from using the exact numbers and stats while you decide your combat actions. First off, I tend to slightly modify monsters, and second, you aren't really supposed to assume your character knows such exact information unless you get it from a knowledge check (that's what skill ranks are for.) This is especially true if your character has no idea what the enemy is.

If you can tell me exactly which of your attacks hit and which missed, you're probably looking at the monster entry a little too closely. It's best to instead describe attempting your actions and waiting for the round resolution post to see what happened. Often there are modifiers working for or against you that you may not be aware of.

For those of you who are new to this concept of player knowledge and character knowledge being separate, please read up on "metagaming." Thanks! (Most of you, I expect, are familiar, but I'm just making sure.)

EDIT: and now I'm going to roll knowledge checks for everyone with ranks and post up some info.

Shayuri, would you mind overwriting Loriel's stats with Silhouette's? I know they're somewhere in our OOC post but it would be nice to have them in the RG. Thanks

 

[Voadam]

I took a magic adamantine weapon to smash through objects and animated objects. I'm not looking up iron golem stats but I'm going with Snargle knowing his adamant mace is for use against object stuff, the unholy aspect is good against angel type things, and he has a preference for claws otherwise. Being an empowered martial type servant of a demon lord these seem appropriate knowledge for him to know or been advised about whether he has knowledge skills or not IMO.

Hope this isn't a problem.

 

[Pyrex]

Largely I agree with both of you.

As a seasoned adventurer, with or without ranks of Kn(Arcana), it's totally reasonable for Snargle to pull out an adamantine weapon against a mobile object even if he doesn't know for certain if it's a Golem or not.

Similarly, without enough ranks of Kn(Arcana), Aldred has no way of knowing if the statue is an Iron Golem or simply an Animated Object*; but it's also not unreasonable for him to err on the side of caution and not throw SR-resistable Area damage at it. (Although he clearly knows nothing about it's special attacks/qualities in either case beyond direct experience that constructs are frequently immune to magic)

*OTOH, if he cast Detect Magic and spent a couple rounds studying it, he has enough Spellcraft that it'd be obvious if it were simply under the effects of Animate Object

My intent was only to cut down on the time. Gargoyle's actions would have been the same regardless of the type of creature. I apologize for any offense.
