I do have a Nat 20 auto confirm though! A kobold needs that 1 in 400 chance of getting a lucky shot!
I agree with you on that one. Its one thing to have a 20 and a 1. Another altogether to have those two glorious 20s in a row and still not confirm because the AC is so damn high. I have one GM that has you roll a 3rd die if you get 2 20s so something even more special can happen if you get a third :) Haven't seen it happen yet.
Lyst |
The halfling surveys his fallen companions, blood pooling on the floor at his feet. He draws his punching dagger and stabs desperately at the mythic vampire...
Attack: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (20) - 2 = 18
Confirm: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (20) - 2 = 18
Double Confirm: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (20) - 2 = 18
Triple Confirm: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (20) - 2 = 18
With one fateful stab, the vampire's head drops from its shoulders and the dagger remains firmly planted in the creature's black heart.
Natalie Desmee |
Hefting the oversized chunk of metal Natalie goes over to the last corpse to deal with. Once there she swings the sword at it with deadly intent.
+2 adamantine greatsword: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12 dmg: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 1) + 2 = 6

Lyst is daydreaming about killing vampires and I think Natalie is day dreaming about 'The Mighty Casey'.AC is 13, sorry.
Oro-Tu |
I think Natalie forgot the +2 from Lysts inspire courage. PS I have rolled 3 20s once, decapitated a t-rex in one shot lol.
Natalie Desmee |
I didn't know how long crushing despair lasts and assumed it's still giving -2 to nearly everything...if not then I guess I hit with 2 more points of damage.
edit: just looked it up 1 min/lvl and the previous combat didn't last that long.
brvheart |
That will take a vorpal sword in my campaign, extremely rare and not at this level:) Now if you want to face a Balrog....

Leialoha, then Oro-Tu are next. Lyst, did you want to do anything?
Lyst |
Hardly seems worth it, but I might as well.
Lyst wraps up his sermon as he moves in to aid Silas. "...good blessings to those who honor his work." No more inspire courage.
He then focuses on dodging and bolstering the defense of his allies.
Total Defense. All adjacent allies gain a +4 luck bonus to AC for this round.
Oro-Tu |
don't have access to map thing on my phone, so I don't recall if I can 5ft step or need to move to hit so I will roll one attack
Oro-Tu moves to the next creature and swings.
attack: 1d20 + 14 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 14 - 4 = 18
damage: 1d10 + 10 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 6 = 26
brvheart |
Silas readies until the creature moves out of the body.
rapier: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 8 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 27
damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1d6 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (2) + 2 + 6 = 15
brvheart |
XP=2160 each. I think I hear at least one ding. One of the bodies has a masterwork cutlass.
Natalie Desmee |
Seeing the last worm get killed Natalie starts looking among the corpses and finds a weapon more to her liking. huming excited like she takes her old sheath out of her pack and puts it on her left side. As she's sheathing the cutlass Natalie looks up self consciously. "Anyone have a problem with me claiming this slight bit of booty?
brvheart |
There is the lab just to the north but it contains no treasure so basically yes.
Silas Frey |
Silas comes out of the lab, disappointed not to find another random secret hiding place. "I think I'm happy to say we have cleared out this place. Even if random elements find their way down here I think they should be safe. Might be worth us securing if we need somewhere to hold up."
His mind drifts to secret compartments and possibilities for less than lawful activities.
Leialoha |
Leialoha nods at Natalie's question, "Of course. The more steel between me and these creatures, the better."
Once Silas has finished exploring the lab, the Tulita can't help remarking, "Can't be any worse than that hell hole up above. I'm sure the corpses will grow on me. For now back up top? I think Pele saw fit to inspire me with some new means of devastation in that last firestorm."
brvheart |
As the party has been stuck in the sewers for awhile Lester suggests that you all go to the Skull for drinks and some fun!
Natalie Desmee |
"Well matey, I have business to deal wit elsewhere. I'll meet up with you blokes there later." As soon as she can Natalie heads to Sagacious Samuel’s Magic Emporium to see about getting a better weapon.
brvheart |
Does anyone else wish to go to Samuel's? Before or instead of the Skull?
brvheart |
Entering the shop, you notice Samuel working on a map that he quickly shoves under some other papers. "How can I help you?"
Natalie Desmee |
Natalie takes the greatsword upto him and lays it out. This sword is not to my liking. I would like to sell it and get one like this made of the same metal and lightly magicked. She shows him her cutlass.
brvheart |
He takes a look at the sword, casts identify on it and replies,This is a fine blade. I am sure I can find a buyer. You want a light cutlass lightly magicked? Done, give me a week. (+1 Cutlass 19-20 threat range, light blades, adamantine.)You want a basket hilt for that? I will throw one in.

Point is the cutlass for Razor Coast and works for your class abilities.
It is called, the cutlass from Skulls & Shackles is not open source and FGG modified it slightly for legal. You lose 1 point of crit range to get a light weapon for weapon finesse and your abilities.
Natalie Desmee |
Okay. Yeah I went searching through Razors Coast from the back to 273(about 200 pages). Couldn't do the other don't have ToH complete. Is the basket hilt just going to be ornamental? Or is there a purpose to it?
Samuel if I wanted to have a magic weapon's enchantment improved where would I go?
brvheart |
Cutlass- This broad curved sword is somewhat reminiscent of a short scimitar, but with a protective hand guard or basket hilt. You can buy one without it, but then you would have nothing to protect your hand and would be easier to disarm.
Libynos would be a good bet, or you could try Bard's Gate. I can handle minor enchantments, but I specialize in wands, scrolls and potions. I can order it out, but that'll take a couple of weeks.
Silas Frey |
Silas approaches smiling at Samuel, seeing if he can get a glimpse of the papers hurriedly shuffled away. "We also have come into possession of a book you might be interested in." He produces the spell book and places it on the counter.
Sagacious Samuel |
Samuel takes a look at the book and examines it carefully checking it over for anything suspicious. "This is a rare find, very old. This is the spell book of the Necromancer Tarath-Vreen who disappeared over a 1000 years ago. It is quite valuable for its historical value alone. I can only offer trade of services for something this valuable, say 16,000 GP worth?"
Silas, you saw a map. What is an obvious forgery in progress of the location of Garr Bloodbane’s horde. It is quite realistic, however.
