Fun wasn't it :D
I vote for a charging hurdle the table onto the northern fellows. :)
so says the distant and diminutive gnome.
lol, awesome.
Fun wasn't it :D
We may be remembering it differently. I remember pain, friendly fire, and assassinate to the back of the neck. >.>
I was typing it, dude. I was waiting on a private response from GM.

Yeah dude. :) Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who says dude these days. I forget how old I am, alright!?
I've been taking certain liberties with updating the map, like prone indicator, grease AoE, and moving the table.
Feel free to tell me to knock it off and punch me in the nuts if you'd like me to stop.
So is Bugsby going to focus on disruptive spells/battlefield control going forward?
That's my intention. I've never taken an arcane character to high levels so I'm not sure what spells are best, but I prefer to control the field rather than blast enemies.
With the amount of smack down Sven/Kalt/Lachna can do, lining up easy kills is a very efficient way of doing things.
A sorcerer casting magic missile and then having the warrior miss does a lot less damage usually than a sorcerer casting grease and the warrior splitting the guy in two.
Excellent points and reinforces my overall development plan.
With Avora's rolls of late, I'm thinking of shifting her to a "damsel-in-distress" role, myself. :)
I would much rather Dracothis' double critical over in Mists of Mwangi have gone to Avora, instead!
Yeah dude. :) Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who says dude these days. I forget how old I am, alright!?
You aren't the only one, and I daresay that I've probably got you in age. I hit 47 in two months.
You make a good point, Sven. If it cheers you up any, your Lay on Hands won't be as quick on Kalt as it would be if you used it on yourself, but it would be more efficient in another sense: I'd heal 2 points more damage for each die you heal, thanks to my fey blood.
Does that make you feel any better?
The other thought I'd have is it's naturally quicker to put your hand on yourself than on someone else. (Note: I mean that in the most literal sense, and no alternate interpretations of "put your hand on yourself" and whether it's quicker will be permitted at this time.)
Yeah, this should be a pretty epic battle.
Not that I care much OOC, and am not aware of it IC, but what's up with Avora? If you don't mind me asking.
Avora decided if she's going to keep being the target, to hide in a room until the fighting is over :D
*Grumble* Better you than if those arrows had hit two other people that were in the single digit HP *Grumble*
:D
Yes, he was actually right next to you when it went off. It hit everyone but Avora.

Genius.
Way to take them for the little guys Sven! Woohoo
I know it hard to believe with everything that's happened, but I'm not actively TRYING for a TPK. Sven has 20 HP, and he'll use all 20 :D
You big dummy. :D
And I suppose you thought AC19 was good too? Pshhhh. Nerd.
Avora is actually hoping to find something that might help her party out.
It is, and his AC is nothing to sneeze at, but that just means I can target you a few more times before you drop. I as a GM don’t view HP as a determent to targeting someone. Truth be told, his HP was a point in his favor when I was deciding who to bring, because he could soak more and I don't pull punches.
I try and view it like the NPC’s would. Avora has little armor, so they shot her, then Sven was barreling down on them so they tried to drop him before he got to them. They haven’t been targeting Bugsby (the other armor light character) because he hasn’t been bothering them. I may be the omnipotent GM, decider of all, but I won’t use all the tactical tricks at my disposal if the situation doesn’t call for it. Makes it more realistic and cinematic that way.
It is actually one of my GM pet peeves when unintelligent monsters use master tactics. A Zombie lurches forward and slams. They do not circle around for a flank bullrush into a spike pit unless a more intelligent thing tells them to.
Aha, sweet.
I know things will likely change, and zero negativity intended here, but I love that Bugsby appears to be holding the door. Don't worry, I got this!
That seems just like something he'd be thinking.
Lachna will probably be posting when she gets home from work.

So by this logic, you'd be wholly supportive of Kalt taking Tribal Scars at 3rd level? ;p
On your larger point - I greatly appreciate the thought that goes into how you're playing the NPCs. That, and the regular, creative posting of many players, is making this a great, fun game.

By extension, and I think you've already alluded to this, having average and intelligent enemies using poor tactics is one of my pet peeves. The super smart wizard who doesn't use his brain to his fullest advantage... blah.
I do find it interesting that all the people near the zombies have piercing and bludgeoning weapons, while most of the skeleton fighters have slashing ones. Silly Kalt went ahead and had multipel weapons, totally negating my perfect split!
I will be so glad when we level and I:
- Get more hit points (though the way my dice have been rolling, it'll probably be 1)
- Get more spells
- Eventually gain the ability to change into something useful, like a bear
I wanted to ask about that. For HP, do we want to run PFS style of half HD+1, or risk dice rolls? Doesn't matter to me any, but I'd like it to be a group decision.
I like PFS style for this. 2cp
Ditto on the PFS approach.
