Grumble grumbles about not being prepared...

Sorry forgot last night was the kids open house...so I started to get them updated, but 2 characters takes a little more time heh.

OK, I'll get my characters updated tonight.

Grumble takes the head of the horned devil as a prize, it'll make a great beer stein! LoL

Great Job Sleepy! You weren't sleep'n on the job I must say!

He also lops the heads of the other two barbed deviled for good measure.

Haste provides an attack bonus of +1 which is an overall effect applying to all attacks. Haste also provides an additional attack when making a full attack. The +1 bonus would apply to both, normal attacks and the additional attack.

Good idea - I think I'll start doing that, or something similar to that. I'm running the original ToEE module (with 3.5 updates to all of the NPCs/monsters) with pathfinder PCs now. It is very clear that the PCs often out-class the standard monsters out of the box.

Also don't forget to change the number of feats, basically they have 1 extra from 7, 2 extra from 13 and 3 extra from 19...i think...

and at 5th level they have the 6th level one. (or HD for real monsters)

I added dodge to lots of things in the kobold king series...heh.

Does Haste provide me with +1 attack and an additional +1 attack witha full attack?

(Note I just realized I had an error with my dmg, I had it on my sheet as +13, instead of +11 (still had weapon spec figured in which I replaced with shall not pass. Therefore the horny one should have 2hp/regular attack and 6 hp per critical attack...dunno if that make him still up after Grumble's furious assault...on the other hand my shield should have done +10 instead of +7)

At Home: Against Pathfinder characters, I tend to give monsters 80% of max HP, and BBEGs 100% hp to balance them against Pathfinder core increase.

I agree Bartimus.

I'm having a blast just playtesting this character in Sleepy's horned Devil test.

Not Sword & Board....Axe & Board!

I've got to tip my hat to the fighter...!

I'm pretty happy with the way this fighter turned out...now if only the monk were this powerful.

I can't wait to see what he looks like at 20th level, he's gonna be a monster...with improved vital strike...and that last attack...plus his final abilities....

That druid is pretty mean also...I wonder what you'd be doing if you were in octopus form again...heh.

Grumble get's a deadly look in his eyes..."Yer, head'll make a nice beer stein there devil! for drink'n GROGGGGGGGG!!!!"

(and if the devil ports away, I can easily reach either of the other devils with my 5' step and 10' reach.

Grumble drops into vital strike mode.

bah, and I just remembered I had vital strike...I could have dropped my lowest attack to add an extra d12 dmg to each attack. (which is really nice for destroying DR. I'll try to remember that next turn.

(I just noticed, you said I get within 5 ft of the devil then get feared. But I have reach since I'm large, how large is its aura?)

This is an interesting point. Yes, large humanoids gain 10' reach. Grumble, however, declared a shield-slam (w/free bull rush) attack. Conceptually, contrast that with Strangler's unarmed attack with 15' reach. A bull-rush is an attempt to push an opponent back x amount of feet. To do that, Grumble would have to be within 5' of him. This is how I initially considered this scenario ... rightly or wrongly.

I think we need a bit of rules clarity here. My question would be, can the free bull rush attempt granted by the shield slam feat (or any kind of bull rush attempt) be done with a reach attack? It doesn't make logical sense to me that it could. I'm imagining Grumble putting his body behind his shield and plowing forward with all his strength. That, to me, implies it can't be done as part of a reach-attack.

Any thoughts?

Shield slam gives a free bull rush attempt because I can hit them so hard with the shield that it pushes them back. I can see where your interpretation was from and we can proceed as written, DM's interpretation rules! It raises a good clarification question for Jason to address regardless.

"Huh, wha? OH RIGHT! IT's CUT'n TIME!!! GROOOOOOOOOOGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!"

Now he's mad! He charges the Horned Devil. (on intiative 6.)

1d20=5+28+4 morale+2carge-1 size+1 haste=41

Dmg=1d20+13=16, 1d6=6 note the attack ignores 5 of it's DR with penetrating strike. I doubt the electric gets thru the energy resistance.

AC=39 due to charge.

(I just noticed, you said I get within 5 ft of the devil then get feared. But I have reach since I'm large, how large is its aura?)

so grumble drinks the potion? he hadn't drank it yet. since it will interfere with his abilities.

Also note: +2 on saves versus fear from bravery, not that it would have helped.

well unless someone has a remove fear effect I'm out for the battle.

when Grumble's lowly 6 initiative rolls around, he will spring attack the larger devil using a shield bash with free bull rush. If I knock the devil back I will stay in threat range, if not, I will move back. I have a move 60 while under the haste effect.[/i]

1d20+28=36the +1 for haste counters my -1 for large size. an 8 on the roll...not very promising. (If I did hit dmg is 1d8+10=13) CMB result for the free bull rush is 36.

so we'll get a will save to enter the area? ranged attacks just have to get over the +2 deflection unless by a neutral or evil character. they get +2 to saves and are immune to compulsion effects.

Grumble Grog will be the only one charging probably, the brials and elmora will both be shooting at them. He only needs to move up to 10feet away because of his large size now though.

Note: If ome of the fiends tries to pass me, I have "Shall Not Pass" feat, thus if I hit them, they stop moving.

1d20+4=6 Grumbel Grog looks a little perplexed as to how to maneuver with all these things on the platform, so he has a swig of grog before he moves!

Note: Grumble Grog has some of the new feats JAson added. Let me know if you need me to make a copy of them, since I can't find them on the board again.

Tactical note: As I read it, I can do a whirlwind attack with my shield and using Shield Master, get a free bull rush against each. Kinda funny looking if you think about it.

Grumble grog will down a potion of expeditious retreat while unslinging his shield.

He then drinks a slug of potion of displacement (bard) and activates his boots of haste.

He has his potion of fly and cure serious on his belt.

therefore grumble doesn't attack this turn.

so he doesn't use his lion shield for the day.

GRumbel will full attack the lion on Elmora. In addition I will activiate my Lion's Shield! "Roar"
Axe attacks:
1d20+16=25, 1d20+11=22

Axe Damage:1d10+6+1d6 =10, 1d10+6+1d6 =16

Lion shield Attacks:1d20+14=16, 1d20+9=10
"crummy shield doesn't want to attack its own!!!"

Possible dmg for the 16 on the shield:2d6=10

"Have at you RUG!!"

If the lion I was fighting is killed by another player I will spring to the one that's on Elmora with a single attack. If the one I'm fighting is alive I'll slaughter it with a Full attack.

GROGGGG!!!!!

First attack:
1d20+16=18, 1d10+6+1d6=17
second attack if I'm able to do a Full attack.
1d20+13=26, 1d10+6+1d6=20

Merciful Amulet of Might blows...interesting

Wow...regular lions have a BAB of +3, and these lions have a BAB of +7! This is a souped-up dire lion, too (+12 BAB instead of +6). No wonder they're so good at grappling.

On Strangler's turn he makes another 8 tentacle lashes (and one bite) at any lions within range. (no grapples) Note that all of his damage is nonlethal, so the lions are not dead, just resting.

tentacles: 1d20+13=15 1d20+13=16 1d20+13=15 1d20+13=29 1d20+13=27 1d20+13=28 1d20+13=28 1d20+13=29

tentacle damage: 1d4+1d6+8=17 1d4+1d6+8=11 1d4+1d6+8=14 1d4+1d6+8=12 1d4+1d6+8=14 1d4+1d6+8=17 1d4+1d6+8=13 1d4+1d6+8=12

bite attack & damage: 1d20+8=10 1d8+1d6+4=12

Bite is lethal isn't it?

Not dead just resting...good that means the hides won't be damaged when Grumble skins them.

I think we're waiting on grapples at the moment

"Grumble Grog needs grog badly...maybe your pretty hide will fetch a pretty price for Grumble Grog..."

"GROG!!!"

Yes, Grumble Grog refers to himself in the third person, infuriating ain't it? He also smells of stale alcohol and sweat. CHA6

"HERE KITTY KITTY! grapple my spiked armor you stupid fur-bag"

Grumble grumbles something about patience and grog

[and continues to wait for the nearest one, if I had known how far they were away in the beginning, I would have launched a couple of throwing axes. oh well]

Grumble Grog Readies his shield and readies an action to attack a creature that gets near him.

If something is foolish enough to attack the frail little gnome wizard...

1d20+2=15

Whut's that in the bottum o'me mug?

In a ravine, I'm on the alert, though I look like a wizard right now, my armor glamered into robes and my hat of disguise making me look like a frail gnome.

Here's the Dwarven Sword and Board I'm looking at making.

I went ahead and took glamered armor and a hat of disguise to look like a frail old wizard in a powerful looking robe...draw the opponents to me first...LoL (and hopefully keep them from trying touch attacks...)
