The Reconquista OOC

[Ranger Rick]

Sadly, no. This is an ooze and has no discernible anatomy. They are immune to flanking, crits and sneak attacks. Thanks I had no idea this was an ooze.
Being "nauseated" means you can only perform one move action every round.

See above. Even if you are attacking three times a round, DR counts against each of your attacks seperately. That I realized, or else I would have said 18d6.

None of you have ever encountered or heard of this creature before. I made the appropriate knowledge rolls, and should have told you. In RL I wanted to know. An ooze is what I was looking for.

Well, I don't think "That's your imagination" is quite appropriate

But "What an incredible smell you've discovered!" fits.

BO: A little note... Latalya currently has only a +11 Fort (+2 resistance vs EVIL), because she does not wear her cloak of resistance, if she were, the save would be +13 Fort (NO +2 resistance, as it doesn't stack with the cloak.

I doubt, that ooze-thing is really evil (tho, who knows, I've seen fiendish oozes before ), so her save is probably 4 points lower.

Likewise, Eshanna only gains a +1 from the Magic Circle spell (and also against EVIL sources only), because she already has a cloak of resistance +1, which provides a resistance bonus as well).

That's the bad part about these spells... resistance bonus to saves and deflection bonus to AC, two rather common bonus types, though Latalya does not have a ring of protection at least.


Latalya's attack roll is also 1 point lower, because of the -2 Dex (as I had noted in my last IC post).


Oh, and Latalya's initiative should be 10 now, right before the creature, as a result of the ready action.

P.S. You could also highlight (red color) the part "George becomes nauseated for 3 rounds", just for completeness' sake.

One more question Do bonuses to saves vs poison count against the nausea save? I know they do against the Hezrou's Fort-save-or-Nausea Stench ability, and the Ghast and Troglodyte's Fort-save-or-Sickened Stench ability.

Given that Mavic failed on a 25, I doubt that a +2 to Reivik's 24 would make a significant difference to the result anyway, of course, but there's always hope

I also just realized, that it was probably the cold iron, that made Latalya's arrow deal damage. Haha! I just picked that one, since it is cheaper and doesn't do -1 damage as the silver ones (Latalya has no standard arrows ).

Anyways... can we determine, that it was the metal, that hurt the creature? It sure looks like it... if so, Latalya will relate this information to her companions, of course!

Guess, I'll just do so in my next post...

P.S. Hmm... that makes the fiendish ooze theory a little more likely as well...

Alternatively, it's got DR 5/X, and your 7 points dealt damage while the 3 and 2 pointers didn't

I've got a cold iron axe, but I'm more inclined to just try to blast through the DR with Power Attack...

Yes, but the description (creature repulses from the attack) wouldn't really fit, if it was just a meager 2 damage. Much more likely, that it didn't 'like' the contact with the metal.

Thanee, here's something which will obviously tell you what's going on. On your character sheet the bow shows up as a +2 bow in the stat block, but only as a darkwood bow in your equipment list. Is it magical or not? If it is, the arrow does damage, if not, then no.

Well argued, Mr. Smurf, well argued. I reviewed the creature and realized that it hadn't been completely converted to 3.5

You get your +2 poison bonus! Sadly, it doesn't make a difference.
