Jehova's Arena (Test) (Inactive)

Game Master Jehova

This is the test for a longer term arena campaign, with combatants beginning at level 1 and advancing through combat. Some rules and specifics are still being worked out, so it's not ready for full campaign status yet.


1,401 to 1,450 of 1,562 << first < prev | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 | 29 | 30 | 31 | 32 | next > last >>

We will fight again in the arena little man.


Confident after a successful fight with me.. Trust me when I say it shall be different next time..


Ha ha I know you rolled horribly. It's all in good fun.


Of course Of course, No Hard feelings It's supposed to be fun, though I bet you didnt think you'd be that challenged by an elf eh?


I mean I'm a little human boy so it wasn't that surprising :).


Little human boy my arse Ha ha! In RetroSpect I messed up on my end a bit there but I recovered.. Wish I got one more hit..


Just wondering how many people have characters for the arena, so I'm willing to tally it here in the thread. Who has submitted a level 3 character with the template? If you post here with your character's name ill keep a running tally (take some of the load off Jehova).

mbauers--Shigeharu


Regarding Gin and Elmer's fight, and the Bite attack, spoilered because this is kind of long:
There is an FAQ ruling on that, although it actually still leaves me somewhat confused. I always thought that natural attacks from a synthesist's normal form actually were indeed inaccessible, thanks to this part.

FAQ wrote:

Summoner: Can a synthesist (page 80) make attacks from his own body (such as manufactured weapons, unarmed strikes, or natural attacks) and attacks from the fused eidolon in the same round?

...

Remember also that the summoner is wearing the eidolon like a biological, all-encompassing "suit," and the eidolon's shape limits what the summoner can do. If the eidolon doesn't have arms, the summoner can't use his own arms to manipulate objects, make attacks, cast somatic spells, or anything else requiring arms--while fused, the summoner's limbs are trapped within the armless eidolon-suit, and he isn't able to use them to manipulate things. The summoner isn't able to extend his own body parts outside of the eidolon-suit; if he wants to be able to manipulate things with arms, the eidolon needs arms (though tentacles are sufficient for simple tasks).

However, reading through more carefully does seem to imply that it actually would work. The first paragraph actually says this:

Quote:
Yes, but the fused character's natural attacks are still subject to the Maximum Attacks entry in the table for an eidolon of his level. For example, a 1st-level synthesist is limited to 3 natural attacks per round, whether those natural attacks are from the eidolon, the synthesist, or a combination of the two.

It's a bit odd that you basically can't reach your arms out of the eidolon, and would be limited to its arms... yet if your arms had claws, you could still hit enemies with them, provided your eidolon had arms to help deliver your own arms to the target! Or something. Seems a little strange to me, but yep, there ya go.


still working him to final submission (mostly final details and formatting), but Rolg's being entered:

eben theQuiet -- Rolg the Red


I'm polishing him right now but Vatale will be entering:

Kurama314 -- Vatale

@Jehova, you aren't looking for submissions until you open the official recruitment thread to the live game, right?

I pretty much have Rolg ready to submit, but I don't want to submit until you're ready for us to.

Let us know.

Silver Crusade

Endoralis -- Gin Kyomaru


I'm working on mine. Liane will be ready tonight.


Submissions are fine, since the character creation is all done and ready. I'd still appreciate if you'd post in the new recruitment thread once it goes up. I'm still finishing the other rule things (I've had stuff to do, I remain sorry that it's not fully up yet), but character submissions are welcome. I want to stress the importance of sticking strictly to the template for ease of character review. Mbauers, yours was awesome, thanks for taking the time to do that out proper.

@Darkwolf, yes, the synthesis's natural attacks ruling is weird, but since it clearly states that a) the summoner's body parts can't extend past the synthesis and b) a fused character can use their own natural attacks (subject to a maximum nat attack limit), I'm assuming this to mean the eidolon sort of grows attacks to fit the synthesist's, the same way it takes on his mental ability scores and buffs. This means that the eidolon can't be using the body part for something else, however (so no using your own natural claw attacks while your eidolon is wielding swords).


Completely finished.. I may have been off on gold by one or two but hand more than enough to cover any mishaps.. Now I just need another Opponent

Scarab Sages

Bruno is in progress. I still need to do gear and some minor tweaks before formatting. He'll be on the list soon. :)

You looking for a practice round? I wouldn't mind testing out my level 3 build. If so, I'll setup the thread.

Let the eastern Combat COMMENCE, I pray for your equal victory in this fight. Ebisu.. Let us show him our might... So Yes I'm up for it.


Not sure if I can start a thread myself, so let's just tack our game onto my last practice match. Cool?

The thread


Sure I have no issues with that.


Choon, you mind arbitrating if necessary? Don't want to burden Jehova...

Scarab Sages

Ya, sure. :)


Thanks! Already have a question, haha.


The Clash of Two Tian individuals was confusing and even


@Jehova:

Is there a specific reason you want that template? I just started working Kirk in and I think the form fillable sheet is a lot clearer.


Its so that he sees every bonus and whatnot and that its formatted equally for everyone so he can glance them.


It also seems to be fairly close to the Hero Labs output format... which makes it easier for me.


Took me forever As I don't use Herolab.. but Im used to Handwriting and doing it myself soo I could adapt.


My opinion is that if its easiest for Jehova, I'm happy to oblige.

I concur.


Jehova, if I've had a change of heart on Rolg's build, what's the best way to re-submit to make sure the correct build gets accepted/reviewed?

Me too. I just thought the form fillable sheet is clearer then the text file (especially for equipment and spells, stuff that benefits from columns).


Forum apparently ate last night's post >.<

If you want to change a build, just submit a second one and I'll save the most recent one sent.

The specific reason I want that format is for the full breakdowns of the nitty-gritty stuff. I don't expect you to forget which items or spells you have, but all of those little +1s from various places can get messy fairly quickly if they're lumped into a single number, so having each bonus fully laid out is helpful for me. It's also harder to leave anything out when creating the character if the breakdowns are there for you to fill in.

If there is information that is not in the template that you want to send (such as description or backstory stuff) please mark it in a Notes section after everything else, so that it doesn't mess with the formatting. If there's something you feel should be in the statblock that I didn't leave room for, let me know.


Cool. I'm updating his submission; will have it in as soon as it's been modified.


So... April, huh?

Scarab Sages

It was an early April Fools joke. :P


Lol. It was a commentary on my Monday state of mind... nothing else.

Scarab Sages

Well, ya. Me too. Time is going way to fast.


Ah, the paradox of time. 5:00 can't get here fast enough, but every day rushes by in a blur...


It's 3rd season btw ;)

The next 9 weeks I'm eagerly waiting for Monday :)

GoT?


Also its taking quite a while for the full arena to come online anyone interested in test fights, give people a chance to work out any kinks they might have


Are you asking for a fight?


sure, it's just been a while since any fights happened


HRM, Well then I would gladly you take you on my dear, though it would be a shame to spill you blood, I will be respectful enough to hold back nothing.


FYI, I feel it only fair I mention I have a new combatant for live


Thats cool, I don't think it matters much.


well set it up, and anyone have time for arbitration?
