Check out what I quoted above.

I don't see why trip would be an exception.

I guess just make a second d20 roll if you are under effects of heresy. And if it misses then we don't have to think about the trip.

He already did his double roll for the Fort save.

It's one per person.

I was wondering why he made two fort saves. :]

I can't believe I missed that rule all this time. I guess it's not quite as unbalanced as I thought.

That's the main benefit of the Improved Combat Maneuver feats.

If you don't provoke when you perform the maneuver you don't risk the big penalty.

How often do players in your games perform combat maneuvers without the requisite feats?

Not a lot honestly, the AoO is usually enough to make them think twice about it. But I have a more regular group I game with. GMing for new people brings up new situations that my other group do not use often.

And dont forget the risk of taking max damage, again...

Ashur, are you more than half damaged?

Yes.

Would it be possible to get Glory in here?

If Tanrov called for him, would he be able to get into this area?

Well, he would have to get out of the stable, in through the front doors, and down the correct hallway. Unless you run and go get him, I doubt he will make it before the combat is resolved.
Does he know the 'Open Door' Trick? :)

Um, yes?

Well I made it a point to not properly tie him down and I figure he can kick down any interposing doors. He's the strongest horse ever!

How long would it take to run and get him?

To run and get him and ride him back to the bed chamber: 4 rounds.

I'm assuming you would be making a mad dash and actually be running full out.

I should probably bring up the question, would riding a horse allow you to reach the guy on the ceiling? Does it grant 10 feet of extra height, or just 5?

If he had a reach weapon while he was mounted he'd be able to do it. The question is, how would he get one?

Part of my plan involved borrowing Ashur's polearm.

He doesn't know that quite yet.

That would do it.

In all likelihood the encounter will be done in four rounds anyway.

Exactly which is why leaving makes little sense. We need able fighter.

You don't need an able fighter to fight a caster on the wall that nobody can reach, lol.

Besides, you have Ashur and Arkright. They're more than able.

Yea, you need an archer or another caster which we have 2 of.

Haha, I had another plan, but I figure I really did not have enough time to stop you.

Damnation, I forgot that Enlarge Person increases my weapon damage dice...

Means that 3d6 of my damage was actually 3d8, sorry.

Happy to accept the non-d8 damage.

Nice crit.

I'm quickly remembering why I had a soft-ban on magus. =P

Haha, game over.

Critting magus can do some nice stuff.

Particularly when enemies aren't IMMUNE TO ELECTRICITY!

Well, I was useless in last two battles so glad I was able to help in this one :)

Sorry guys, I will post in about 3-4 hours. My apologies. Running out the door again.

Sorry Arkwright, this is not the scenario for an electricity based character. :)

In other news, I am going to be tied up in a real life session for most of the day today. Feel free to post Round 5 actions. I will resume regular posting tomorrow, or maybe late tonight.

Ugh, that is very disappointing and it wasn't even my attack. :(

Hulk rage.

Just to make sure you know, either way he should have taken damage- 2d6+10 from first attack and 1d6+10 from second. Rest was electricity damage which was clearly negated :P

Again, you only deal 1d8+2 with your standard attack, double on a crit.

+3 from enhancement bonus, making it +5, double that on crit = +10. I forgot to recalculate damage die before, so its 2d6+10 for first crit attack and 1d6+.......5. My mistake for that one.

You have a +1 base enhancement bonus, and a +1 Str mod. Remind me, where is the rest of the +5 coming from?

+1 base. +2 from Arcane Pool swift action giving me enhancement bonus. +1 Str mod. Hmm damn I was counting a second +1 damage roll bonus from Enlarge Person :P This makes it +4 in total, which on a crit becomes +8.

2d6+8, 1d6+4.

Sorry if it seems like i'm making many rolling mistakes, i've just got quite a few things to keep track of and i've tried to be brave and do it without excel. No more!

Yeah, I have gotten into the habit of manually typing in any mods to the standard character sheet on my attacks and damage just to double check myself.

Same, sort of :P on my sheet my attack bonus is "5+BAB+1+1" just to separate out Dex, enhancement and weapon focus and others.

Oh and so I don't forget, i'm on 23 hp.

And speaking of being hurt. I just realized(after the mod of course) that since I'm an outsider, I'm immune to channel energy. It obviously works both ways, which means I can't be healed by channel and I fear evil clerics less.

Is anyone still hurt after that channel and wand session?

One more channel, please.

Arkwright does victory lap around temple.

Things are looking good for Petr. Level 6 and fresh pile of gold to buy magical s#$@ with. Yay.

FYI, you missed the Haunt, but that’s probably ok as it’s a deadly one. :)

I will work on the Chronicles over the next couple of days. You all get 2 PP and 1860 Gold. (Normal Progression)

Nobody likes haunts!

Sad to see this end. I had a really great time with it. Thank you very much for running it Brute. Any scenarios on your wishlist that you do not have yet?

Yes, Brute thank you very much for running this scenario. Its not an easy one to do in RL let alone PBP.

Tanrov, good luck in your other campaign with Chanix. The person controlling Chanix is a friend of mine.

Thanks.

I think we're almost done in that one too.
