Help is here!

Okay, first of all, a certain amount of fire resistance is innate to Divine Ranks of 0 or above...but that doesn't mean that everything we face has to have divine ranks. So that's one thing to keep in mind. D&D has a lot of different templates that can make normal monsters into epic monsters.

The interaction between Cold Subtype and Fire Resistance is as follows:

You subtract the Fire Resistance from incoming fire damage, then double what's left.

Thus, a Scorching Ray would have each ray reduced by 20, then whatever got through that would be doubled.

Damage Resistance (as distinct from energy resistance and spell resistance) only operates against -physical- damage. That 35/+4 will operate against weapons, falling, collision, etc...but even a lowly magic missile spell will penetrate it automatically.

Also, Hellyasillel's bow is +4 if I'm not mistaken, so it pierces the 35/+4 damage resistance. This means the only DR that's applicable against the bow is the much, much lower DR4/-. That would be applied per arrow, of course.

As for being a fire deity...Scorching Ray is a terrible spell to use against things with resistance. This is because it's several small attacks, each of which is resisted seperately. If you want to punch through resistance, you need to use a single larger attack. This is where your Fire Seed (10d6 ranged touch, no save), and similar spells come in handy.

Fire Resistance 20 is really no big deal if you have some decent high level fire magic at your disposal...which you do.

thats a hit Please roll damage along with other attack i.e. if you hit roll dmg twice - Ubariya
poison DC ?? AC HP??

Actually, despite hitting an AC 27 total I only rolled a one to hit; definitely a miss and why I wrote that it was a miss in my IC post. Since I didn't hit I didn't bother adding poison info to my character's mini statblock yet (which also includes my summons mini statblock).

I'm not sure what you mean by 'other attack' unless you are talking to someone else. Ubariya is busy summoning a second spider and the first spider only gets one attack.

The spider AC (AC 22) and hp (208 hp) is listed in the mini stat block that I post with each combat post. With those rolls, only the first of the three attacks is a hit.

Ok to let everyone know The Grey Mist will be updated SUN and WED ever week. No posted actions gets your characters "lost in thought with so many options avaiable to them."

You can post a porogression for a battle here in the OOC and I will use it unless you post in the IC.

Example:
Round 1: Cast Bull's Strength
Round 2: Cast Divine Might
Round 3: Attack

They can be changed as you need to but I think we will try this and work out the kinks as we go for now.

Make sure everything I need to know is there at a glance, take the spiders attack for instant all you need put after the url is nat 1 = miss

Later I will be posting stats for creatures and you can roll saves and give the effect in your IC posts I think this will move faster you cast a spell and put everything in the Invisible Castle roll (i.e. spell penetration, damage if the save is successful and what not) and I don't have to go in 6 different times and try and roll a save (or damage if save failed) from this this and that.

Ok going to go post end of the round nothing fancy I am off to the movies to see Friday the 13th.

Heliasillyel will just keep flying above and raining arrows at her target until it is dead (at this rate, about two or three rounds more). Oh, and one thing to note is that each round we will be losing an additional Roc due to the spell wearing out. And that since the giants have Damage Reduction 35/+4 the Rocs have not really dealt damage do them via talons and grappling. Not sure on Smite Evil though, it seems like unspecified damage.

 

[Shayuri]

Smite Evil doesn't give an attack any special qualities as far as damage type or DR piercing goes. It just boosts the to-hit and damage numbers.

 

[GlassEye]

HM, did you change the stats on the Giants from what you were using before? Wanna make sure that DR 0 note in your last combat post isn't a mistake. Myth calculated her damages with the DR 4, and if they don't have DR 35/+4 then her rocs & my spiders could do damage.

 

[HolyMan]

Sorry that DR is for Divine Ranks. I listed it because everyone would know what comes with that. SR 32, DR 35/+4 and immunities I shoul have listed their other DR 4/- also my fought. Told you this maybe ablove my pay grade.

[Myth and Legend]

Yes DR0 grants one DR 35/+4, but is the DR 4/- still correct? Because that has saved my target 36 HP so far.

 

[HolyMan]

Yes it is, these guys are 20th lvl Barbarians (see Dieties and Demigods pg. 200)

I hope that DR 4/- doesn't prolong this to much I wish to get back to the RPing while I figure out what to do about combats. Pbp is no place to run a large combat that will last 8-10 rounds. that could take almost two months

oh speaking of which everyone prep your level ups for your characters (except you Shaylir sorry )
