sorry didnt see my post was on wrong page ty

I am going through and adding in everyone into their own threads so that everyone can play. I'm going to go in and out of each of the threads to make sure everything is running smoothly and run any creatures and destruction that is going on. I'll let you each fight out your battles. since everything will have it's own thread i will let all the games run but after 15 rounds things get hairy as some people have already seen.

Just as a warning you can't metagame and use knowledge other threads have learned nor what kind of creatures you will face from what you read in threads running ahead of you but would be actually happening at the same time.

@Darkwolf117: Your turn. By my count you have 34 HP Remaining.

You would be correct, I do have 34 HP remaining. That hurt!

I have 45 HP remaining. Even after your Searing Light.

Yeah, yeah. Well, you know what, I'm at 43 now :P Truthfully though, I'd rather just get this over with, so I doubt I'll spend any more turns healing. Gorik is ready to end this.

okay i have threads up for gus, tommy, oktain and sleet storm. have to find one more person to go up against Di'Emjai, he has a tweak he has to do to fix his character.

@Di'Emjai. Ioun stones bonuses don't stack. Actually most magic item bonuses don't stack. So two dex bonus items (a +1 and a +3) don't stack (to give you +4)you just use the higher bonus(just a +3 dex) from what i understand.

I posted the kinds of bonuses on my site. If they are different kinds of bonuses to the same stat then they do stack...

In any case Di looks about ready and he isn't carrying much equipment so that isn't a typo. His dragon is fighting light.

As it should be. No self-respecting dragon disciple needs weapons to wreak havoc. They are the weapons.

okay i posted everyone's thread on the campaign into tab. Will make it easier to hunt down your link if you loose it

I think I have everyone in a game

As a side not i will not be around to check them until 7. but will try to stop in to make sure everything is running smooth before then.

Yes I´ve seen it hence the "nevermind":)

Sleet,

Since he will not be around until 7 do you just want to post openly and do our best not to metagame?

Sure but I don´t know about the map and concealment, it seems we don´t see each other when we enter the battlefield.

We probably won't see each other for a while anyway. Gus has mage armor up, duration, 1 hour. Assuming we are using the same map (http://www.icheckfortraps.com/map.html) would you like to roll a 1d2, with 1 being A and 2 being B? Or we can wait.

You make the roll on a 1 I take position A

1d2 ⇒ 2

posted in our battle forum.

Position B it is then:)
I´ll roll for initiative in our thread ,or do you think we should wait with initiative rolls until we actually see each other?

your up first (dang 1, hopefully I've got it out of the way.:) )

What's the extra +5 on initiative for?

Anticipate Peril

Ahh nice. If you would like, we can wait for the GM and I'll just check back every so often.

Maybe better that way. It´s going to be over quick once i´ve spotted you:)

Sounds good, your DC's are insane. I'll just have to hope for lucky rolls and staying hiden.

Sleet and Gus. i posted the room details in your thread. you can continue acting. use the pillars and your positions in the room to figure out if you have line of sight.

TURNS

Fights are in order and will go from one fight to the next as each finishes. 2nd round fights begin once all the 1st round fights have finished.

A map will be provided with a marker for where you are. when moving post the coordinates (G6 etc) and I will post it next to your name when marking turns. the tokens on map are only viewable by you so use the coordinates, to position the tokens if you want, and figure out where you and opponent are.

----------------------------------

Does the tree give me concealment.

Yes do we see each other from the positions we are in?
I´m hovering 25ft in the air can I look over the trees?

We need some GMing here

Gus you should be in a square next to the tree (C7) unless you are climbing into it. Assuming he is on his side of the tree then you would not see him. Flying higher just puts the top of the tree in the way so you definitely can't see him.

being in the tree square would provide cover and give him a bonus to stealth.

RULE:

Cover
To determine whether your target has cover from your ranged attack, choose a corner of your square. If any line from this corner to any corner of the target's square passes through a square or border that blocks line of effect or provides cover, or through a square occupied by a creature, the target has cover (+4 to AC).

When making a melee attack against an adjacent target, your target has cover if any line from any corner of your square to the target's square goes through a wall (including a low wall). When making a melee attack against a target that isn't adjacent to you (such as with a reach weapon), use the rules for determining cover from ranged attacks.

Cover and Reflex Saves: Cover grants you a +2 bonus on Reflex saves against attacks that originate or burst out from a point on the other side of the cover from you. Note that spread effects can extend around corners and thus negate this cover bonus.

BONUS FOR COVER (once he gets low enough to see gus he will have
+4 AC, +2 Reflex saves. Get to make a stealth check to hide.

Does the tree give me concealment.

it gives you total concealment from people in the air but is only cover from the ground. See the previous post.

You would have to climb into the branches at which point you would have concealment which would give you 20% chance of a shot missing

But I still see his aura with arcane sight right?

Yes

Using that spell makes the entire room shine. the room is magic especially the latticework of golden metal woven into everything. that said, you can pick out his items and him behind the tree. until you have line of sight you can't roll to reveal what school of magic

ruling on it

You know the location and power of all magical auras within your sight. An aura's power depends on a spell's functioning level or an item's caster level, as noted in the description of the detect magic spell. If the items or creatures bearing the auras are in line of sight, you can make Spellcraft skill checks to determine the school of magic involved in each. (Make one check per aura; DC 15 + spell level, or 15 + half caster level for a nonspell effect.)

If you concentrate on a specific creature within 120 feet of you as a standard action, you can determine whether it has any spellcasting or spell-like abilities, whether these are arcane or divine (spell-like abilities register as arcane), and the strength of the most powerful spell or spell-like ability the creature currently has available for use.

WIth that spell it negates stealth unless the person is non magical and is not carrying magic items.... in this game all of you are walking beacons if you are in range of spell. since the entire room is 120' across everyone is in view of that spell.

They still get a cover bonus and concealment %20 miss chance as normal. you know they are there but it doesn't prevent the cover from blocking your attacks

Posted a question in the Brice v Hanzou thread.

I should be asking whether you're so terrified of everyone else that you're making a big deal out of this?

I'm making a big deal out of it because I have been attacked EVERY. STEP. OF. THE. WAY.

And we're only a few rounds into the event! And yet, absolutely everything I do is under scrutiny. If it was just one or two concerns, I might believe there was some sincerity involved, but with the volume of complaints and attacks that I'm seeing against me? No, you're all just looking for an edge. It doesn't help that the GM has been cajoled into a number of house rules already.

It's getting damned tedious.

Lol it is "Ji'Emjae"

And I thought Implanted Ioun stones essentially become apart of the character (kind of like Permanency) and stack, I guess I need to change some stuff around, then.

But I still see his aura with arcane sight right?

Actually i just realized that your sight would see weird shimmering of the tower like your sight is confused by it. Wouldn't change seeing Gus but is something odd about the tower.

yeah bonuses don't stack so you'll have to swap them out with some other item, or 2 other ioun stones.

I liked your solution to your overfilled cauldron. Also, I have been skimming the gameplay threads because they are interesting to follow, if you don't want me to just let me know and I'll stop.

Ok in that case doesn't the headband and the ioun stones clash?

As far as I can tell, according to the rules; I can basically scrap 2 of them, making the one I have an "Advanced Ioun Stone" with a +6 bonus. The Ioun stone cost me 4,000 gp. A +6 bonus Ioun Stone is 72,000 minus the orignal cost of 4,000, divided in half for crafting it myself, So it costs me 34,000 gp extra. Good thing I didn't use all my gold and was fighting light, although I lose my wand.

But this is moot if the headband and the ioun stone cancel each other out.

The problem is that they are both enhancement bonuses. You can only have one enhancement bonus to the same stat, if you have two you take the highest. If you have an enhancement a morale a competence and an insight bonus to the ssme stat then they all stack.

No custom items, so ioun stones are limited to a +2 bonus that doesn't stack with a headband. You can look at the Tome that grants you a permanent insight bonus to the stat, which would stack. They're expensive, though.

Nevermind, reread the post and I realized you already had a Headband. Look into the tomes, you get a +1 for about every 26,000gp you spend.

The problem is that they are both enhancement bonuses. You can only have one enhancement bonus to the same stat, if you have two you take the highest. If you have an enhancement a morale a competence and an insight bonus to the ssme stat then they all stack.

In that case, I am not ready to fight at all, since my gear is useless.

I really don't want to put much more time into this, it is already taking way to long, so I am bowing out of the competition.

I'm here. just grabbing some tea and will start GMing.

I'm here ready to go if my opponent is as well.

okay cool. i think everyone is still out having a beer.
