You can draw a weapon as part of movement if your base attack bonus is at least +1 but that is only as part of actual movement, not as part of a move equivalent action.
You could take a 5-foot step to be next to Quaylon.
Edited.
You indicated that you got up, drew a sword, and drew a shield.
Take a look at this chart.
Drawing a weapon, readying a shield and standing up from prone are all move actions. You can only have 2 move actions in a round, which requires you to turn your standard action in to a move. You can only do two of the three things you indicated.
I suggest that in each round you state your actions as such:
Free:
Swift:
Move:
Standard:
That should help keep you within the rules. Example:
Fox yells, "OOF!"
As he stands he draws his sword (or readies his shield) and says, "Whos there!?"
I try to be friendly with the rules stuff and if you ever want me to just be quiet about it let me know.
I've noticed other little things that our group has done but have previously left them to the GM.
Oh, and Fox has +1 hero point for dying in the first encounter with his first character. Just went back through and realized that I didn't tell him yet.
It seems to me that if you can move and draw a weapon (if you have a +1 BaB) as a apart of the movement, that you should be able to draw a weapon as you stand, provided the Base Attack. I certainlly think it is the spirit of the Rules if not the letter.
Well then :P. Thank you c:
I was going off what I found in the SRD online for the total defense as a standard action. Not a big deal either way though, since it would not have saved me.
My advice to you Foxheart is to get close to one of them quickly. They can keep taking these shots until they hit.
Oglon - In that you are not wrong.
It is one of those standard actions that you start during your tune and then end on your following turn because your not doing anything else. Seems to me there is a reason why it is next to the standard full round action.
So I guess you can move while doing it, which is good news, and something I didn't know.
Edit - so me calling a full round action I guess is a tired brain, and a mistake.
I don't have the BAB, so will draw the sword when/if I'm able to move.
I've played a bit of DnD3.5, and there it is a full round action. I had hoped to get an idea of where they might be by taking a little extra time looking around.
A ha, that were my mind was at...and to think I stopped playing 3.5 a year ago and only played it for about a year.
One of the reasons why PbP is good, ya get to look up EVERYTHING.
Happy days
Geez a man watches one episode of games of thrones at midnight and everyone finds the time to post :P. Sorry for my lateness c:
Im going to correct my turn :P. Since i can move :)
Game of thrones rocks.
Will post your move on the round 3 map update. They would still be able to get at you, even there.
Goblin rape... Not a good thing... :c
Depending on who you are talking too.
But then its more of a goblin gangbang than goblin rape if they like it :)
Man i rolled low... I was really hoping to scare the lot of them away... Maybe they will roll low as well :P. I swear if i die again... lol
LOL actually the DC for demoralizing them is 10. 10+Hit Dice+Wisdom.
In this case 10+1-1= 10
MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Little known fact that goblins dont rape crazy people. Or at least people acting crazy :D
Too funny. Good job you lucky cuss. Sometimes, and a tactician will well know this, the best thing to do is someting that the enemy won't supect, and that they often will not expect something crazy.
Han Solo fits this to a T.
Hm... For some reason i have a good feeling about this character. I wonder why? * maniacally rubs hands together*
More fun and excitment tommorrow.
Sleepytime for me, too. G'night all! May you make all your Perception checks and not forget to take off your (medium/heavy) armor.
The issue that came up at our gaming table that required us to look that up was a player who said he could draw a weapon while doing any move equivalent action. Under his logic:
If he draws a weapon, he can draw another weapon as part of his move(defeating one benefit of the TWF feat).
If he stands up, he can draw a weapon as part of his move
If he gets something out of his pack, he can draw a weapon as part of his move
If he takes a 5-Foot step, he can draw a weapon
If he sheaths a weapon, he can draw another weapon
It made another player, who had the quickdraw feat, feel like it was a wasted feat since that guy was saying he could draw a weapon while doing any move equivalent.
With all that said. I don't have any problem with someone running how they want to run.
Makes sense except for it says weapon, draw, and move. It says nothing about shield, item, sheath, or weapons. Still it does go to say as apart of movement, not move equivalent. So after looking it up again let's keep it to actually having to move and just one weapon drawn. I also love the Quick Draw feet.
I never have a problem discussing the rules in the discussion board. So long as when I make a final call everyone is cool about excepting it, even if it hurts their character, makes no sense, or is just backwards. If you bring something up I always take a look at the rule, and if I am wrong I am wrong. Its no big deal I assure you. There is thousands pages of rules over several books after all and it takes a team of lawyers, winks at Zat, to work all that out.
Oh I think Quayon has a round two action to post. I will wait to post round 3 until he does. Am I missing anybody else?
GM,
Glad to hear it. I'm always concerned bringing things up on here that it might come across the wrong way.
No problem there.
Hey Fox, please follow the posting guidelines for combat. Your close by you don't list your Hit Points. Also I need your alias to read like everyone else. They have there name large color letters, then in smaller gray/black letters they have there sex,race,class, arch type, level, hp, AC, saves, init mod.
Ok this is no problem :)
Thanks, I just noticed it. Makes my job easier.
Ok theoretically it should be good. I based it off Mrachni's since he seems to know whats going on :P. I would also like to point out that my CMD is 15 except for bull rush and sunder in which it is 16 because of my favored class option :P
Man... you guys believe me yet when I say the dice hate me?
** spoiler omitted **
Ah ok sorry :P
Yes I do, and feel for ya...na that's a lie. Don't feel bad in a PbP Skull and Shackles my bard is dying from the filth fever from the rats from the first fight. If it wasn't for the NPC healer casting lesser restoration twice daily should would have died.
Mrachni, I don't think they hate you. I think it is just a simple case of mutual misunderstanding.
Oh, and they hate me more...
<bleeds out>
Oglon: You get to try stabilizing again...
Mrachni, I don't think they hate you. I think it is just a simple case of mutual misunderstanding.
Oh, and they hate me more...
<bleeds out>
It's cool bro. I got gored by a bull so even if you die my death will still be the most awesome. Idk how that helps you... but... :)
Mrachni this is true, and I wrote that thinking it confirmed its crit, but upon another look it did not.
I'll do my best to let you retain the honor of most awesome death. I don't believe that I will die in any case. It sounds like I may be left for dead. Perhaps have my corpse looted, which will mean that I may have an ulterior motive in all this as I will want to recover my most valuable item.
Ya, Fox, if some brave warrior would help out his travel companion.
Og that gives me a good way to figure out what he takes, I should roll an Appraise.
Will finish Spirits attack here in a bit.
I was going to but it seemed like we were in major trouble. Us being surrounding and then that creepy laugh. I was afraid :c
Fox, the question is, would your character try to ensure he saved a life before protecting his own life?
If he would save a life ahead of all else, then he should aid the guy who is bleeding out.
If his priority is making sure he stays alive at the cost of all else, then he should not worry about the other guy.
If he falls somewhere in between those two then you need to figure out what motivates your character.
Does he have a close friendship with this guy?
Does he not like this guy to the point that he wouldn't overtly move against him but if he bleeds out then... oops?
Think those aspects through in your decisions. How would his death weight on your character's conscious?
Mranchi, if you can crit Ray of Enfeeblement you can crit a web. It may not be Rah, but it works for me. Makvor should well remember this for when he is wild shaped, if he goes that way.
(Edited.)
Yep you can crit any attack roll. Like wise you can crit fail it too, or for that matter saves. Though saves are a bit different. Crit fail that reflex save and say good by to an item.
Though I thought Ray of Enfeeblement did Damage, but even still its better this way. Makes things get wild. Turns out its a penalty, which is silly.
Weapon focus ignores crit fails. Speaking of which you have to roll to confirm a crit fail too. You do not have to confirm any saving throughs its a crit fail or succeed based on the roll.
Skill checks, well checks for that matter, ignore this stuff completely.
I love the crit hit and fail decks and if we could use them we would be.
I would go over all this stuff before hand but its a lot of stuff to go through, its easier to put it out there as it comes up.
