Map is put up.
Scrabbler's campaign trait allows him to negate a critical hit from a creature with the giant subtype (once/day - weapon or slam attack only).
I wonder if it is at all possible to hit scrabbler hard.
funnily enough, Ivan can shrug off two crits from a giant subtype per day XD.
It's just hard to make use of that if your long legged companions charge at every giant they see and beat you to it. ;)
I'm going to check on Scrabblers abilities and see if I can bot his reaction.
Scrabbler doesn't have the trait Roll with It, he got the feat Roll with It, which is totally different.
My mistake, I thought he had the trait. I should have checked his alias again.

Hopefully no, because my HP isn't very impressive.
Edit: As I said. Not impressive. Ow.
Good thing Scrabbler has 14 Con! Don't worry, Bupkis will heal him next round.
GM, I didn't see that you'd rolled for me, but I think you made a mistake with your math.
The DC for Scrabbler's Acro should be 41. (Damage total +5) Even with your roll, and a +4 bonus from my Daring Do roll, I still fail.
How do you want to handle it?
I saw, that I forgot the 5 base DC. But the main difference is, that I took the first sentence of your feat into account, which left you almost intact. While your reading of the feat left you almost dead.

Can you explain this to me in more detail? If I'm doing it wrong, I want to know.
Bupkis' healing is great for once/day fights; the non-lethal burn damage goes away after a night's rest. We should try to conserve the wand charges.
I don't know what the correct reading of the thing is, but I don't like characters dying in my campaigns. At least not that easily.
Benefit: If you are struck by a melee weapon you can try to convert some or all of that damage into movement that sends you off in an uncontrolled bouncing roll. To do so, you must make an Acrobatics check (DC = 5 + the damage dealt from the attack) as an immediate action. If you succeed in this check, you take no damage from the actual attack but instead convert that damage into movement with each point equating to 1 foot of movement.
For example, if you would have taken 6 points of damage, you would convert that into 6 feet of movement. You immediately move in a straight line in a direction of your choice this number of feet (rounded up to the nearest 5-foot-square), halting if you reach a distance equal to your actual speed. If this movement would make you strike an object or creature of your size or larger, the movement immediately ends, you take 1d4 points of damage, and fall prone in that square. This involuntary movement provokes attacks of opportunity normally if you move through threatened squares, but does not provoke an attack of opportunity from the creature that struck you in the first place.
You are staggered for 1 round after you attempt to use this feat, whether or not you succeed.
The some damage part is never picked up again in the description. I simply decided that the damage your acrobatics roll is good for, is transferred into movement.
A more reasonable approach is probably, that you get to set the amount of damage you want to convert before rolling.
Alright, I can work with that. I want to make sure I'm understanding your intent though. I'm seeing two options. Which is what you're going for?
1) I set the DC I'm trying to beat before the roll and then move and deduct that much damage if I succeed.
2) I just roll, and my total -5 equals the damage I deduct and distance I move?
Let's go for option 1) The other one is autosucceed which is a bit too cheesy.
Thats nice. Makes it even better, but also fits with the theme!
Sounds good.
I was wondering how scrabbler got to have the lowest HP by far, without being a squishy caster.
About Scrabbler
Unchained Rogue 3 (vexing dodger)
Monk 1 (MoMS, Kata Master, Iron Mountain)
HP: 26 (8, +5 monk, +5 rogue, +6 con, +2 favored class)
Alternate suggestion from your friendly GM:
HP: 34 (8 rogue, +5 monk, +2x5 rogue, +8 con, +3 fcb)
That would increase the survivability of Scrabbler a good deal. ;)
Oh, did I forget to give Scrabbler an HP boost the last time we leveled? Oops.
Thanks for catching that!
I'll put some ranks in diplomacy next level. Didn't realize we needed a face.
Yeah, we were relying on Edgar to cover magic item identification and being the party face. I've got some ranks in Intimidate, but that didn't seem the right skill for the situation.
Until you found a fix you can always push Amira to the front row. I just won't jump in unrequested.
I don't see the enemies on the map. Are they invisible?
You cant see them as they are hidden under the PCs icons. ;)
Ah, gotcha
Next question-
How's Flanking work against enemies that are sharing squares.
The Twickjacks don't share squares with bupkis. they use reach weapons (spears) to do their painful acupuncture.
Ok, well, I'm not sure where I need to be to flank them, but I assume I can get there.
Will it be a 5' step, or a move action?
Same as I told Ivan.
I have another rules question about Roll With t.
If I can manage to reduce that damage to zero, would I still be effected by the poison?
No damage, no poison.
Daseem is no longer poisoned.
I am currently raging, so I cannot make that Knowledge check!
Thanks GM.
Hmm looks like the forum ate my post, I think we need to use readied actions here.
Just to clarify how things work, one point of burn gives you your level in non-lethal damage. So if Daseem was down to 7 hp, he is now at 23 hp, and has 4 non lethal damage (and 12 lethal damage). Additional healing could still heal his 12 hp of lethal damage. He would drop unconscious if he took 20 hp of lethal damage, but wouldn't die until he took an additional 18 hp of lethal damage.
Bupkis currently has 7 lethal and 20 non-lethal damage, meaning that 13 lethal damage would knock him unconscious, but it would take another 34 lethal damage to kill him. Once he finishes resting 8 hours, his 20 non-lethal damage just goes away.
@Scrabbler
Getting batted away doesn't give you that kind of control. The lily pads are a challenge to navigate when you do it on purpose. If you decide to not take the blow, it's down into the dark.
What will it be?
The feat says I pick the direction my movement takes me, so I picked. If I take that blow, I'm grappled and nearly dead.
So I guess I'll go up then? Or back the way I came and land among the party?
GM, my Limb Climber ability requires me to be adjacent. This thing is flying. Can I jump up to get adjacent to it and try for the required Climb check?
Nope
@Menrozzar
five foot.
Hello... Discussion is here!
Five foot is the standar reach and it is not enough to reach the dragonfly from the edge of the platform.
Dragonfly added to map
This fight is confusing to me. Doesn't this thing have reach? Was it adjacent to us? I thought it was above us.
How come Menrozzor, Daseem and Ivan were all able to attack this thing, but I couldn't?
Because you were dazed and hanging on a ledge?
That was two rounds ago. Last round I moved to where Ivan was for cover. This round I wanted to try to attack the thing, and I've been told no.
So its clear I dont understand the situation. What are my options?
I think the dragonfly was in reach last round, but it backed away from the ledge and is now 10 ft away. You could probably jump onto the lily pad and attack it, unless it's moved up. Or you could use a ranged weapon.
GM Daseem has 5' reach currently and rolled 18 to hit and 15 damage (presumably reduced to 10). It looks like he can hit the Dragonfly from where he's standing.
@Daseem
Sorry I don't understand your 5' reach. Additional 5'reach? For 10'?
@Scrabbler
First round you got attacked -> fly to the ledge, dazed no action
Second round you got attacked -> fly to wall, dazed no action
And there is the error, You're staggered, not dazed. (facepalm)
If you have a ranged attack you could attack the insect, but sharing a space with Ivan will give you both penalties. Staying in the back you could shoot over ivan, as these are stairs and you'd have the higher ground.
Sorry I'm being confusing with 5' reach. That's 5' in addition to the normal 5' medium size creatures have.
Uskroth's Armor gives Daseem the effects of Righteous might for 5 rounds once per day. Daseem is medium size normally but for 5 rounds he grows to large (tall) so he can hit things 10' away (Size rules).
