Actually it heals me for 15 total Zedth, since Veronica's CL for the channel is 4.
Rules question: Do higher ground applies for ranged attacks too? (not that it mattered anyway)
Catcher, Combat Stamina/retraining is approved.
Roland, I just looked it up and ranged attacks do not get a +1 for higher ground. Didn't mean to cheat against you guys! I didn't realize it differentiated between melee and ranged for that bonus. Thank you for pointing that out.

No, which I always thought as odd. Doesn't add range either.

Right? You'd think it might add range or even decrease range increments by one, or some sort of bonus. I would think making a ranged attack from above would be somewhat easier than otherwise.
Side question:
Do you any of you guys play Blizzard games? I've been so addicted to their new release Overwatch... it is a blast!
I love the Overwatch video's but hate that the game doesn't have a story mode. They have given the characters some fantastic background but do nothing with it.
Totally agree about the Overwatch story. There is apparently a ton of lore written about the background story and characters but there is virtually no content or mechanism in-game to learn about it or enjoy it.
But in spite of this, the gameplay is so much fun I find myself spending way too much time playing it!
I've played a month of WoW several years ago, and I used to play Dota quite often, but I got rid of it, thanks god. I've heard about Overwatch and it really caught my attention, but I don't have a decent internet connection to play that.
Anyway, the range increment penalty is not because the arrow doesn't reach guys, but just because the target gets smaller, relatively speaking. It makes perfect sense to me, since reaching a target at 20 feet is hell easier than reaching one at 40 feet.
Plus, reaching a target from an inclined point of vision (from above) is usually harder than hitting a leveled target, since the area you can hit is smaller (unless you're hitting a spider, that is).
In the melee attacking from higher ground gives tactical advantage, playing with gravity and so forth...
Sorry for the delay. I'm sick today and I can't think straight. I'll post tomorrow.
Remove Disease!!! Oh wait, I'm no cleric... Gromff? Veronica?
Sorry for the delay. I'm sick today and I can't think straight. I'll post tomorrow.
Folks, I have a sick pet, a sick wife, and a semi-sick self. I posted a little nugget today at work but my heart wasn't in it and I didn't have time to wrap things up.
Forgive me for a bit longer. I will post again when I can.
It's fine, life happens! Take your time and I hope things get better!
Take a rest man! We're not gonna die from waiting a little. Family comes first.
Go ahead and explore. He will eventually be back. And if there is more to the camp then what we thought, shouldn't waste too much time.
Can you tone down the ooc comments in character? Respect the illusion of realism the DM crafts with each post. There is a man behind the curtain, we all know it. Pretend he isn't there.
Hmmm I thought it was funny, but ok I've edited it.
Never thought about the fact that the belt was an enhancement bonus and therefore does not stack with the spell. But barbar rage is morale so that's fine.
3 min is plenty of time. That's 30 rounds. With your bonuses and with a rope you could move full speed without even making checks. But its only a +1 over all so its not much of a benefit.
4000 gameplay posts!!
I didn't understand the reason behind this request, altho I'll gladly acknowledge it.
That's because I edited the post. I had originally written something different, in this phrase:
Of course, all this could be for nothing, but there was only one way to find out.
It was something like Of course, all this height could be just the GM saying "hey, nevermind the hole, there's nothing down there", but there was only one way to find out.
So I cannot break the 4th wall anymore.
I enjoy a little silliness. Breaking the 4th wall here and there is okay, but I appreciate Gromff's concern.
Oh, a cave! See, there is totally plot down this hole.
Also, how big is the cave entrance that Roland sees? Bit enough for a Giant, or Hobbi... Halfling, or something in between?
Scrambed eggs!
I favor taking Aersensi and Walker down with us, since the monster seems to be waking up faster than it should. It might mean that the spear is nearby.
If anything happens down there, at least the can-have-wings-demon will not be on the loose and maybe will grant us some advantage in case of a fight. Gromff with his darkvision guiding the pack would be awesome. I trust the dwarf to do that.
I hate to slow things down with this but I need more details before I can narrate further. Are you guys using Dancing Lights and/or torches to explore, or are you sending Gromff ahead to scout with Darkvision? Any other preparations before moving onward?
It makes sense for Gromff to take point, but I do also have darkvision (just no perception to speak of). I don't have torches, but do have spark to light torches or oil that the others might have.
Either way works by me guys, just go ahead and make a call, Roland does not mind.
I keep forgetting that Veronica has darkvision as well. Silly cursed humans!
Is it possible to go back a little and ask him to wait so I could fetch Walker and Aersensi? It's not a good idea to let a possessed devil about to hatch beside a defenseless harbinger, specially in a nest of snakes.
Super busy day(s) at work and home; I don't think I'll be able to get up a worthy post until Saturday or Sunday. Sorry for the delay, gang.
Not a problem. Hang in there.
Hmm, I would not have used the wand if I knew that Brother Gromff spoke their language...
-made me lol

Sorry for the pause, you guys. I apparently missed that you all had replied. I usually rely on the "(2 New)" indicator to tell me when you guys have responded to the game, but I must have clicked it and missed the posts.
I hope you're going to be okay, Macezar. Visits to the hospital are never good.

Veronica, are you still with us? It's been nearly a week since your last post.
Jeez, I didn't realiz it had been that long. At first I was waiting to see where the others were going with this, but the last few days have been a nightmare, though not to Catcher's extent.
I helped a friend of mine move three states away and pretty much everything went wrong. One of our cars broke down, one of our group was bitten by a brown recluse spider, we had to call a locksmith out to the house our friend was moving to only to have the lock destroyed, a pipe burst in the new rental house, and then I had to drive back at 4 am. 1500 km total in travel over three days.
Jeeze...
Brown recluse bites are no joke. We have a close relative here in Nevada called the desert recluse. It is basically the same animal.
Sounds like a barrel of monkeys.
Gosh, that sounds like a mess!!
At least it seems you are fine after all!
Well, Roland is ready to hit the road jack and don't come back no more no more no more no more towards the tentacle beast, as soon as he earns some xp from the snakelings!!
Well, the brown recluse bite was on my SO. They scrubbed a chunk of skin from her bite and we're watching it closely. Plus, she was given a large dose of antibiotics and we're waiting to see how it goes. The rest of us are just tired and frustrated. But it is nice to be home, overall.
Just recalling, Gromff did NOT tell us about his home being under siege, right?
It's been awhile, I don't recall.
Gromff, do you remember?
I...do not remember either. I don't know if that vision was shared, either by me or the DM. It would certainly explain his hesitance now. So no?
I remember that the vision was not shared, but you mentioned something, specially concerning your reasons it was not necessary to go there (the would resist for ages in the caves).

Boss, if you allow, I want to change some of my spells:
The spell list previous was for overland travel.
Old One:
0th: Detect Magic, Dancing Lights, Prestidigitation, Mage Hand
1st: 3/3 Mount, 1/1 Mage Armor, 2/2 Shocking grasp.
2nd: 2/2 Scorching Ray, 1/1 Bull's Str, 1/1 Rope Trick.
3rd: 1/1 Haste, 1/1 GMW, 1/1 Lightning Bolt
New One:
0th: Detect Magic, Dancing Lights, Prestidigitation, Mage Hand
1st: 1/1 Grease, 1/1 Magic Missile, 1/1 True Strike, 3/3 Shocking grasp.
2nd: 2/2 Scorching Ray, 1/1 Bull's Str, 1/1 Rope Trick.
3rd: 1/1 Haste, 1/1 GMW, 1/1 Lightning Bolt
Once we stop to rest once more, I'll replace rope trick with darkvision, I think.
Didn't we use that Lightning Javelin already?
I don't think so but I could be wrong.
I remember someone throwing it into that Ogre/giant/devil in that camp where we found DP and the green Drake that asked us to join them.
Was the the lightning javelin on a actual lightning bolt? I think Catcher has the spell. Or we might have had 2. Either way, I think it is a terrible option, giving them a weapon.
