Wizards In Winter - Low-Level Thread (DM: Son of Meepo, Judge: TwoHeadsBarking)

OOC: No, it doesn't. I added the vulnerability to the damage roll; it's normally 3d8+6, not 3d8+16. I failed the attack roll, so it takes half damage (miss line in power description), which is the last step in calculating damage. So it takes 15, not 25

GM: [MENTION=88601]FourMonos[/MENTION]: It's unclear whether they would stack, so I've decided that they don't because it cuts down on potential abuse where you can give a target multiple vulnerabilities and then give then use powers with multiple damage types. [MENTION=5656]Someone[/MENTION] Yeah, Reflex is its best defense and its a level 6 skirmisher. Your target was 21. Close call though.

GM: @FourMonos : It's unclear whether they would stack, so I've decided that they don't because it cuts down on potential abuse where you can give a target multiple vulnerabilities and then give then use powers with multiple damage types.

OOC: I think that there's a rule that multiple damage types can trigger multiple vulnerabilities additively. CharOp agrees, but I'll need to wait til I get home from work to find a page reference. It isn't overpowered in any case- it just gives ranged/implement Strikers a slightly better chance to compete with chargers and multiattackers. EDIT: Got home, checked sources. I was wrong, you're totally correct that the rules are ambiguous here. You're well within your rights to rule that they don't stack. CharOp consensus is that stacking vulnerablities of different types works because no rule says that vulnerabilities of different types combine in any way and so it makes sense to check/resolve them separately, but that's not explicit RAW, so it's still your call.

OOC: Status check? Summary lists swarm as Dying- is this correct? If any opponents are still active, Nalkyr has yet to act. Do we still need to post for him?

 

[WEContact]

OOC: It's incorrect. Listed damage is too high by 10. I'm on my phone and can't change it back.

 

[FourMonos]

OOC: I think Ilex hasn't gone yet this turn. Maybe she can end our icicle woes.

The cold saps the life and the will to continue the fight from Marrgash, as he struggles to fight for breath.

OOC: Sorry I haven't posted my turn yet. I've had 12 hour shifts the last two days, and I was hoping that Wife of Meepo would get her turn in and finish the swarm off so that I wouldn't have to. Sorry to hear she's sick, I hope she's okay and gets better soon.

 

[FourMonos]

OOC: I missed that Wife of Meepo was under the weather. Hope you're feeling better soon!

Ilex tries to stand her ground vs. the buffetting winds and even though they have diminished some, they catch her off guard and nearly push her into a pillar of ice. Regaining her footing, Ilex aims an attack at the icicle swarm that nearly froze her to death and lets the power fly. However the icicle swarm is ready for the attack and flattens itself out to avoid the attack. Holy Slippery Icicles . . . " Grumbles Ilex. [sblock]
Save vs. Immob. Forgot at end of last turn (1d20=15) Saved
Endurance vs. Buffetting Winds (1d20+2=5) Fail
Direction of Push (1d8=7) Pushed from O14 to M14, NO ICE Yeah!
Stone Blood Attk vs. IS2 (1d20+5=15) Miss! Sorry Guys, fairly sure I need to hit to do any damage even with a vulnerability. [/sblock]
