Whoopsie, I misread completely when I set up the character. I may switch to a long spear then and go armor spikes if that is ok with you?

Need to have a bit of a think, maybe trade the shield for catch off guard and use the spear as normal and then improvised at close range. Need to think a bit

@Jimmy
Take your time. Just adjust until you find something that looks good to you and we'll pretend, Its always been this way. I'll also go ceck in the Equipment if I find something close to your original idea.

@Jimmy
Possible combination
Spear as reach weapon
Cestus on your spearhand to hit close enemies
So if someone comes close, spear to off had and hitting with the fist.

The only problem would arise, if you want to keep the shield, because with that you couldn't use two handed weapon.

A way around that would be to use a "light steel quickdraw shield". This can be donned and stowed away as a swift action as part of a move action, but has only +1 AC.

So put them on the spear as they approach, and then let go with your shield arm, don the shield and hit with the spear in hand with the cestus.
Sounds kind of lame, beyond the first hit, as the spear would possibly be in the way of you attacking.

You could always to what Gwen did with her Quarterstaff. Looks also not cool, but would propably work (as you told, using as improvised weapon)

I went the easy way with my Barbarian named Smash. He has a lucerne hammer and lesser beast totem to get claws if someone manages to get close.

That's why I like Catch Off Guard, I can use the haft of the spear as an improvised weapon and take no penalties with catch off guard. I may also just decide to go for a sword, or such. Or maybe a trip build. I cant believe i messed up this badly in the building

I am off to bed. Gnight

@Oz

@All

Timezones make it neccessary that we do some planning. As it seems we are at

GMT -5 Oz Torm
GMT +2 Jimmy Fiddle
GMT +1 Foxy Quickpaw

and I'm back to work, starting monday. We might need to coordinate a bit if we don't want to slow down to two posts per day and person. I would be available from about 5pm to 10pm and might be able to throw in a post or two at work in my breaks. Also real life will impede my free time now and then.

I think you have not answered this one yet and your times seem to be off from ours quite a bit. Would you please state when you are available time slot wise, so we could plan?

I usually do a lot of one on one talking in character with Jimmy, which could be put in the time, when you are not available. And do the big scenes with fights and so on when all have time. But to do that I need at least some rough estimate when these times would be.

The problem with properly explaining my time zone is that it's going to slowly but surely shift over the course of the next few days as I prepare for going to college. That said, I live in kentucky. Eastern Kentucky.

@Oz
It would be nice if you could tell me something like 'I'll be able to check and respond Mo-Fr 17-23o clock on weekdays' or something.

But if your day is rather irregular some 'I leave now propably back tomorrow 3pm to 5pm EST' would also do. What I would like to prevent is me (and Jimmy) sitting in front of the PC hoping for you come too to no avail, as I have no mobile smart device.

Or we know, you won't come and do a 'sidequest' like tuna wrestling.

I will be much, much clearer on when I am sleeping, if that is the case. I'll make sure to point that out just before I go to bed much like you folks do.

It is, at present, 9 AM. I have plans to wake up at... 5 Pm. Which, unfortunately, if I've deemed it right, is when you all go to sleep.

This'll be a lot better when the 16th rolls around and I actually start school. Winter break has been a treat.

4PM here, I will be going to sleep in about 8-10 hours. Depending on how much fun we start having. If i recall, Foxy is at work at present

Hi All,
Foxy is now at home again.

But I'm only available until a quarter to 8 pm today as school holidays are over and so I'm back to my every Tuesday Long Sword Figthing training IRL (looking totally badass here :).

Yay! I already thought I would have to kill them all on my own ;)

Foxy, you got mail

@Jimmy.
Nope. Pressed send?

I did send it 3h 24min ago. It mentions beards?

Ah missed the question part.
Just had to check phalanx soldier.
You would get the polearm thing at 3rd? You noticed?

Indeed, maybe just long spear with catch off guard, would you rule that as working as i explained it?

I think of it as you are using it as a spear with reach and if someone closes in you take it like a staff, hands a bit over shoulderwidth apart, either stabbing with the pointy end, or bludgeoning with the other.

Would that be ok with you?

You could even take TWF and do both :)

Exactly my thoughts. Are you happy with me reflecting that change on my character sheet

You did that, or you ask me if you should?
If former, I don't see it yet,
if latter post action first, update character later?

But sure you have to update that.

Done and Done

Was kind of telling you I intended to update.

Order for posting in combat. How do you want us to run it?

I have the initiatives and sort it out. Everyone posts for the next round and wait for me to resolve. Or if it is clear what you want you can give me one round more.

Away now swordfighting

Foxy, you coming back before tomorrow?

Great time to ask, as I'm back now, but I will go to bed now.

Well, after checking your new character.

@Jimmy
Looked shortly over it. What I did notice, is that you no longer own sword and shield. As we already used that for our training, so I would like it if you fit that back in.
You could roleplay later selling it, and I would also find you someone willing to pay a better price than 50% for that.

Also flat footed is your best AC now at 17.

But besides these minor hiccups, Jimmy looks the same as always :).
Or did you see something happening. Walking away whistling.

bluff: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Good night.

I didn't have a sword, I had a trident

"Well yeah, with weapons, punching someone who has a sword is generally ill advised."

I looked it up and found why I misremembered that. So it would only be the shield.

@Oz
Please put the attack and damage rolls into your posts. As you have far better overview, which boni you have, that I might miss. Also it is easier for me.

Hello Jimmy,
good to have you back here.

I'll sum up the round in a few minutes, so don't go away, if you have the time.

Btw. you missed the boss, the wolf was already down. For the wolf it would have been good enough

I said I tried to attack the wolf. Is the boss still up?

Boss and wolf?

Jimmy charges the wolf and stabs at it with all his might.

[dice= Long Spear, 2 hand, power attack, to hit] 1d20+4
[dice= Long Spear, 2 hand, power attack, damage] 1d8+9

dice rsults were as follows:

Slightly confused now

You said wolf or boss?

And then attacked wolf. As the wolf went down with Tauriels arrow I redirected you to the boss. But Oz can take care of that, as he doesn't have to throw into melee now.

Ah, I meant to ask if burning hands hit the wolf and the boss, because i forgot how it worked for a moment

They are both burnt, but neither of them enough to go gown directly

effect is

OXX
XX
X

with O the starting point

15ft cone, I reread the rule now. Thanks for shifting my attack over to the boss after the wolf died, i didn't realize that was what had happened.

How is work

How is work

It's over :P

At least for today.

What time do you knock off then?

Having lunch now. be back in 20 minutes or so.

I may need to take iron will

You think that will be enough? You should start saving for a cloak o resistance, or take a level of monk or so.

What time do you knock off then?

Usually around 3.30pm but today left early.

Ahha. Indeed, but i thought we were only going to play level one?

Psht! Don't tell around, but I hate it if I have to fear for characters to die on a lucky roll, therefor there will be level ups.

WhooooHOOOO. Then I really need to rebuild Jimmy... hmmm

Also Abomentolor says playground?

Well, you know Mr. Goblinburner? He is in his element, burning Goblins, and of now has taken out two on his own and helped big time downing the wolf and charring the boss.

He has a really good time. Unlike most of the rest.

If the dice didnt hate me i would be having a decent time too. When does Jimmy wake up? I am going to be so embarrassed when i find out Gwen saved my life... again
