One of the advantages of being a headstrong warrior confident of her own greatness is that you don't have to wait for decisive action!
To a pack of snails, that herd of turtles is pretty fast.
Yay, snails! :D
Just look at that S car go!
AHAHAHAHAhahahahahahah!!!
**Groan** loved it
At least I've got acid splash to lob at these buggers!
Gonna wait for Reu's thoughts on how I handle his disguise and such. Normally would just keep going, but as Reu is not really combat focused, would hate to just take away what made him special so quickly.

I realize that it's only been a month since my last big announcement, but I'd like everyone to know that I've just received my invitation to serve in the Peace Corps! I will be teaching secondary-level science classes in rural Cameroon, and once I depart from the USA at the end of May, I'll be overseas for 27 months.
I don't leave until May 21, so this affects absolutely nothing until at least then. Many volunteers have some kind of internet access at their post, but I won't know what my situation will be like until I get there.
Wow, small world! I have SO. MANY. QUESTIONS. Can I PM you with contact info?
Oh, it seems I failed to mention I houserule that a nat 20 and a nat 1 are auto success and fail in that order.
Let's see...this rule was enacted to make sure that the PCs always had a chance to hit, but also works the other way around.
Reu, your thoughts? I'd rather not make you feel like you['ve been cheated by a rule you weren't aware was in effect.
sidenote: Technically, I'm the one who makes the disguise roll and keeps it secret from you, according to the rules at least.
That's usually how things work for attacks and saves, but that's not usually true for skills RAW.
Too bad you can't crit an acid splash. But it'll do the trick!
Why can't you, Zoisa? Any spell that requires an attack roll allows for criticals. :)
Really?!
Fawzi is correct.
Critical Hits: When you make an attack roll and get a natural 20 (the d20 shows 20), you hit regardless of your target's Armor Class, and you have scored a "threat," meaning the hit might be a critical hit (or "crit"). To find out if it's a critical hit, you immediately make an attempt to "confirm" the critical hit—another attack roll with all the same modifiers as the attack roll you just made. If the confirmation roll also results in a hit against the target's AC, your original hit is a critical hit. (The critical roll just needs to hit to give you a crit, it doesn't need to come up 20 again.) If the confirmation roll is a miss, then your hit is just a regular hit.A critical hit means that you roll your damage more than once, with all your usual bonuses, and add the rolls together. Unless otherwise specified, the threat range for a critical hit on an attack roll is 20, and the multiplier is ×2.
Exception: Precision damage (such as from a rogue's sneak attack class feature) and additional damage dice from special weapon abilities (such as flaming) are not multiplied when you score a critical hit.
Increased Threat Range: Sometimes your threat range is greater than 20. That is, you can score a threat on a lower number. In such cases, a roll of lower than 20 is not an automatic hit. Any attack roll that doesn't result in a hit is not a threat.
Increased Critical Multiplier: Some weapons deal better than double damage on a critical hit (see Equipment).
Spells and Critical Hits: A spell that requires an attack roll can score a critical hit. A spell attack that requires no attack roll cannot score a critical hit. If a spell causes ability damage or drain (see Special Abilities), the damage or drain is doubled on a critical hit.
:)
Thanks folks! Now to see if a 13 hits the rafters...
I've EARNED my title now! Thank yew! Thank yew! *bows*
That isn't a typo, by the way. The implication is that Pesh is the push Zoisa uses.
INTO BATTLE!
OUT OF BATTLE! :P
Posting to all my games
Just wanted to inform you all that I am currently wading through a veritable swamp of work, obligations, and schooling. As such, for the next two weeks of I do not guarantee my usual posting rate but will attempt to update games when I am able.
Happy Holidays.
Thanks for the update, DM Default! Good luck, and we'll be right here when you need us!
With the release of the The First World: Realm of the Fey I'm pondering switching Zoisa's divine patron from Sivanah to the Lantern King. He seems to fit Zoisa's outlook better. She's not really deceptive in the way Sivanah encourages her followers to be, and her color scheme's ugly. Zoisa wants to be colorful, darnit!
Opinions?
I see no negative impacts and if it's a. Enter fit for your character I say go for it.
Yay! Thanks for the vote of confidence, Seyhannah!
Ooooh, the plot thickens!
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Kwanzaa, and a Happy New Year to all you ladies, NBs and gentlemen!
You as well. Thanks!
Everyone's still here, right?
Things slow down a bit around the holidays, but I'm definitely still around!
Welcome back, Reuleaux!
Still here...
Holidays AND moving. Been quite a time. But I'm still here, along with my monkey pal. Then again, I get the feeling that Kaspar would find a way to stay in the game even if Alem disappeared.
You know, in the Carrion Crown campaign I'm in we're fighting stirges too! The circumstances are surprisingly similar...
Here's hoping I don't catch something nasty...
Posting here every time I post in the Gameplay thread isn't annoying, is it?
Nope! :D
Not at all. I like the commentary. Lol. I'm really enjoying all of the characters in this campaign.
I especially like that Zoisa's so very different from the knightly, stoic sweethearts I normally play.
Goodbye, Reauleaux. We will miss you! :(
Sorry to you go Reu.
You know, I wonder if this stuff's recent. Stirges like fresh blood, not dry coagulated stuff, right?
