The Rod of Seven Parts: Kauai Team OOC

[Voadam]

If anyone is bothered by pronounciation issues, the X in Xylla is a soft "sh" sound. Shilla.

Not until you explained it, I had been pronouncing it Zilla in my head and thinking that was spot on.

A quick rules question.

My understanding is that deflect arrows does not work when you are flat-footed. Is there any way to affect when you are flat-footed? Barbarian dodge only gives you back your dex and combat reflexes let's you make AoOs while ff. I was thinking of getting combat reflexes anyway, would that be close enough for deflect arrows to kick in? If not is there any other way?

Combat reflexes gives you extra AoOs on multiple foes up to your Dex modifier, IIRC. Is there something else in the combat reflexes feat description that gives added benefits? I'll research compatibility this weekend and get back to you. Levels in rogue would be the only thing that immediately come to mind in terms of being flat-footed. I forget at exactly which level of rogue that ability kicks in, but it might be more levels than you're willing to take.

 

[Mista Collins]

I was pronouncing it Zilla, like in godZILLA, not not as in ZILLAphone.

This wasn't done in my head. I actually like to read posts out loud when it comes to PBP, unless someone types something like "kjdafahgjh". I just skip over things that make no sense......like most of Voadam's speeches

COMBAT REFLEXES [GENERAL]
Benefit: You may make a number of additional attacks of opportunity equal to your Dexterity bonus.
With this feat, you may also make attacks of opportunity while flat-footed.
Normal: A character without this feat can make only one attack of opportunity per round and can’t make attacks of opportunity while flat-footed.
Special: The Combat Reflexes feat does not allow a rogue to use her opportunist ability more than once per round.
A fighter may select Combat Reflexes as one of his fighter bonus feats.
A monk may select Combat Reflexes as a bonus feat at 2nd level.

Its great when walking around with a reach weapon and someone jumps at you with surprise. Your reflexes take over and you can smack them despite the surprise.

It certainly won't bother me any to know you all have a pronounciation that differs from what I have; in fact, if everyone is thinking of things a certain way, I might as well go ahead and morph the pronounciation to match what you all are using. Language is user-dependent, after all, not some pure thing to be put up on a pedestal.

Next week, I'll be here to post Monday through Wednesday. Thursday through Saturday, I'll be at the Hawaiian Islands Ministry conference in downtown Honolulu. As an extra head's up, I plan to make Easter weekend (April 8th) a four-day weekend, and will be taking both Friday and Monday off from posting.

 

[Mista Collins]

Can I come to the Hawaiian Islands Ministry conference? It sounds warm.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

It is warm! C'mon out!

You mean like when you are walking through a haunted castle forest carrying a guisarme with combat reflexes?
