Kalath begins with a swift but inelegant spear attack.

Kalath attacks Asdfre: The spear bashes the paradise; tracks below the quickening of the body!

"Acck," says the mage as Kalath spears hum

Adopting a slightly more martial stance the mage kicks at Kalath. As he does so, flames engulf his foot.

Asdfre attacks: The Ruby Dragon kicks close to the castle; defends against the efforts of the farm!

"I think not!"

Kalath trips Asdfre up, preventing him from using his flaming feet.

Dirty Trick!

 

[Wicht]

"Curses," says the mage as Kalath trips him.

As Asdfre has a Dirty Trick up his sleeve and Kalath only has Ki, what is your opinion: Should Kalath be required to move first until Asdfre uses his dirty trick at which time it will shift back?

 

[graydoom]

Well, the rules as currently written just refer to having a usable Dirty Trick.

From the rules
If more than one fighter has a usable Dirty Trick, post in order of CR from lowest to highest.

Going by that, Kalath would keep going second. But you might want to give preference to a "natural" Dirty Trick (as opposed to one accessable only thourgh Ki), just like YB does for "natural" Dirty Tricks (as compared to Dirty Tricks on items).

I guess now is a good time to decide on how we should work it... personally, I do lean towards actual (non-Ki) Dirty Tricks having precedence, as in YB.

So basically, though the rules currently support Kalath going second, that should probably be changed to have a system similar to YB, where people having the actual Dirty Trick power have precedence over people who only have access to Dirty Trick through Ki.

I agree that natural Dirty Tricks should get preference.

Its really looking like YBA needs a bit of a rewrite with all the new powers being suggested and rule adjustments over the past year.

Anyway, lets go ahead and give natural DTs the benefit meaning Kalath goes first for now.

Kalath searches for a hole in Asdfre's defenses with his whip.

Kalath attacks Asdfre: The whip seeks by the swamp; absorbs the violence of the bird!

Asdfre the Fire Mage
Hits: 9

Asdfre attacks: The whip brutalizes the ricefield; grasps the quickening of the feline!
Fist of Fury
The scythe rides on top of the badlands; guards against the throw of the feline!

As both fighters utilize the whip style, it is Asdfre who connects first, swinging around and catching Kalath with a second hit for a total of 2 hits.
