This is why I list all bonus in my ooc description
Eg
2 hand PA, Inspired, Blessed, FE Attack
That makes a lot of sense, STR Ranger. I will be following suit from here on out.
Not everyone is dead. Apollo is still fighting isn't he?
Nah, as stated in my post. One adversary still in sight. Apollo's target.
I think that was his CMB roll. You don't have to hit first to make a trip attack with a weapon.
Yeah, I believe you do Tippy, especially if it's a reach attack.
You're probably thinking of special properties, like the wolf's trip ability, where when they hit with an attack, they get to make a free trip check. Weapons with the trip ability don't need a hit first, they just get to apply extra bonuses like magical enhancement and weapon focus to the trip roll.
Yeah, I'm with Tippy on this. The trip ability gives a +2 to the cmb roll and allows you to use the weapons reach and enhancement bonus on your trip attacks. Haven't seen any other interpretation of that, though honestly I've never thought of it your way, Waife.
My understanding is as Tippy's: the trip replaces the melee attack, so the roll is against the enemy's CMD, and success will result in that enemy falling prone (and not in any damage).
On combat maneuver success: If your attack roll equals or exceeds the CMD of the target, your maneuver is a success and has the listed effect.
The word "attack roll" leads me to think that you make a single roll, as your attack, and that determines the result. Were it two separate rolls, I believe it would specify "CMB roll," and have additional language about the need to hit the target first.
I can find nothing in the entries about reach weapons or whips that amends the above, but I may have missed something.
As for Ethaniel's placement, he should indeed be in V16, right below Tam. It was late, and my weary eyes drifted as I was determining the square on the grid. The whip has a 15-foot reach, so the trip should still be valid.
Yep. Trip generally REPLACES the attack.
Exceptions to this are animals like Apollo and Wolves where their attack is a bite + trip.
Animals like big cats can attack for damage+ grapple
Okay, I have found what I was after.
When you attempt to perform a combat maneuver, make an attack roll and add your CMB in place of your normal attack bonus. Add any bonuses you currently have on attack rolls due to spells, feats, and other effects. These bonuses must be applicable to the weapon or attack used to perform the maneuver. The DC of this maneuver is your target's Combat Maneuver Defense. Combat maneuvers are attack rolls, so you must roll for concealment and take any other penalties that would normally apply to an attack roll.
Starting to get the s+~$s with this dice roller. No one is missing!!
We are awesome
Speak for yourselves! I think I managed one attack and we're in round... eight? Haven't cast a spell either. and "oh it'll be a short one, no need to burst into song just yet"
"No? Oh. Well all my party members ran out of range. Oh. Okay. :("
Sorry bout that
Might have to spend a level in the medium paced XP reward at this rate.

What are we in currently? Because not to beat around the bush... holy balls are we slow.
Fast
That cause our post rates have dropped. We'd be further otherwise
Click on DM Waife's profile and it has the XP there.

I'm not so sure. It's always been this way with combat for us. I think the quiet spell will pass soon enough.
Also hey! Our first combat in ages is pushing towards 3rd level! Excellent!
Yay! I look forward to Favored Terrain. Makes rangers totally bad ass in their environment. I am taking Urban.

I thought for sure you'd take jungle first, though plane (water) might come in handy, too.
Wha?
Wha?

Sorry, forgot my tags.
Oops.
Ha! That's awesome.
Trying to turn this route into our own ambush. If we can get inside, their numbers will matter far less. A flat out run is not gonna work. Both tippy and Marcus can only manage 20ft speed so we will be caught eventually. Get this inside and we can either hide or mow down mooks one at a time.
I am unsure where Ascaria is of late. A few days now since she has posted so I will continue to keep her with Marcus.
Sorry for the silence, I'm still with you. :-)
Might disrupt the realism but I am changing the map slightly. I have decided to import and use the actual Riddleport Map given in the book. I originally decided against it due to the pixelation but have decided to use it anyway. That way i don't need to redraw the entire map. Thank you for your understanding.
Ha! And I was about to post my amazement here at the incredible kick ass map you made with MapTools, not realizing it was the professionally published one. Never admit to these things!
That being said, the other map you made was also kick ass. Thought you should know.
Cheers Tipster. Especially since I did this one with a nice fat headache. As you can tell though, I have had to overlay new buildings to bring back the texture quality of the buildings and ships. Still time consuming but I am happy with how it's turned out.
awesome dude.
Is this too drawn out? Don't want to bore anyone too much.
Well, I thought we were drawing it out by, Yknow trying to not die.
I just figured the foes... for whatever reason they are seeking us are very persistent for some campaign reason but I agree with Marcus... Tam is not about to let himself be put at the mercy of cut-throats and vermin!
As far as Tam knows... the criminals here have attacked us wholly without provocation... so he is going to make them pay ad work for it he will NOT surrender!
I'm 30 posts behind in the gameplay thread! I'll catch up ASAP, but I finally had some work come my way and I've been flat out this weekend.
Augh, and a quick look tells me my response to that knowledge roll didnt actually get posted. I hope I'm not holding things up!
As for the pace, I'm so so. This game is always fun to check up on, no matter what we're doing. But on the other hand... I want to see some of those exotic looking guys that so-frequent the cover art. What do they call them again? Drogs? Trow? :P
Would anyone object to trying to resolve this with diplomacy? A parley? We're not even entirely sure why they're on our scent. Surely Larur isn't so important that a small private army is after him. There has to be at least two dozen, right?
Ummm, this is all perfectly exciting. I'm thinking, as Calistrians, if we get out of this, some revenge needs to be planned, ASAP. I think it would be great fun to plan out and execute an urban gang war, Pathfinder style.
Well Marcus is not for getting us killed. I say we flee to Iscarel's safe house (since his priority is getting as many out as possible) and fight if cornered.
Tippy's speaking my language.
I have no objections to diplomacy, or to fleeing and plotting!
From Ascaria's perspective, she won't be excited about taking revenge on a horde of pauper's who are bullied into attacking us. It would take something really serious to make her go along with such a plan.
From a player's point of view, I'm ok with anything. I would however also like to see a little meat on the story...
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Well, if things go badly, I have this idea for a dagger-using halfling rogue I could try...
Ascaria and Ethaniel, if you want to focus your spells on the leader I can use Cause Fear on him? On a successful save he's shaken (-2 to saves) for a round, so we could easily bring him to his knees with our combined casting might!
HP check? I don't see anything on your character profile Tam.
I had not changed the hp total on my sheet as its in my name line above............................ ^
but I have now also adjusted my sheet as well...
