McBugman v. Mantic0re (Inactive)

Game Master McBugman

Gameplay!

"Bring it on Mantic0re!"

Rateliff cracks his knuckles and sneers at the wuss who is failing to post.

Rateliff: HP 12 : Stunning Fist 1/1 : Active Effects: None

How do we determine starting distance? It should be a set amount, otherwise I want to start as far away as possible. Maybe just 20' away?

The Elf eyes his opponent from a distance. This meat head is going to look like a pin cushion once I'm done with him. He bows, showing a moment of respect before the fight begins. "The tattoos will be a wonderful target for my arrows."

We should also start with weapons not in hand, sort of like a Wild West duel.

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

HP 9 | Active Effects: None

20ft sounds good. We can start a google doc that has arena maps too..

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 b#%+$!

Rateliff: HP 12 : Stunning Fist 1/1 : Active Effects: None

Yeah, for future fights we can make some maps. That will add a lot more tactics to the matches.

The Elf gets the jump on his much slower opponent. He swings the longbow off his shoulder, notches an arrow, and fires it quickly at the bald man. "Catch this."

Longbow Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

The arrow slides deep between Maxwell's ribs until only the feathered end protrudes from his chest. A stream of blood bubbles from his chest and runs off the arrowhead sticking several inches out his back, making a puddle of red mud in the sand at his feet.

Rateliff charges blindly with blood noticeably leaving his body.

Flurry of Blows: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 2 = 15Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Flurry of Blows,Stunning Fist: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 2 = 19Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

DC 13 for Stunning fist, otherwise you're stunned.

Rateliff: HP 3 : Stunning Fist 1/1 : Active Effects: None

Is 0HP still up but only able to take single actions for one round, or unconscious? Also, we should make sure and "Preview" our attacks as they are made so we can describe in detail how our opponents are affected/where they are hit by attacks. For example, you just struck a one-punch killing blow.

Maxwell's fist lands with a sickening crunch as Apollyon's nose and sinus cave in. He staggers and spits blood and teeth, the world darknening around him.

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12 ?

Good point, and yeah you're laying out cold at 0.

Rateliff smile at the slight of the layed-out elf. His HP floods back and he sets for another round.

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Apollyon stands, his life surging back and his wounds healing miraculously.

"You shall not be so lucky this time, f!+*face!"

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

g#% d@~nit...

With a wide grin Rateliff charges again, thinking he's found teh Elf's weakness so early.

Flurry of Blows: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 2 = 22Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Flurry of Blows, Stunning Fist: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 2 = 20Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

DC 13 Fort Save

Rateliff sprints at the Elf and drives a knee that collapses his chest while an elbow shatter's his skull.

Good match! Lucky rolls and nothing more! I'm going to switch it up and bring Allister at you for our second pairing.

The tall, iron-clad knight grins stupidly at his opponent. "Good luck!"

Initiative: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (19) - 1 = 18

Lucky as all hell, let's do starting hp as 1 full HD and 2 (half HD+1) + 3*con mod. So Maxwell will be HD 8 + 5 + 5 + CON (1 *3) + toughness feat +3 = 24. This will give us more time to let rolls balance out.

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Rateliff just smiles at the man. Then charges.

Flurry of Blows: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Flurry of Blows, Stunning Fist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
DC 13 Fort Save

Rateliff successfully drives his knee home, but his fist strike misses the meat of Allister's head and skims off his armor.

Rateliff: HP 24 : Stunning Fist 1/1 : Active Effects: None

So my HP would be 12+7+7? Con Mod = +2

Allister smiles and spits out blood from a busted lip. "Ow!" His greatsword glares in the sun as he unsheathes it.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 6) + 6 = 14

The blade bites into Maxwell's flesh deep, leaving a cruel, clean gash across his chest.

HP: 27(32) | Active Conditions: None

you would be at 12+7+7+2+2+2=32

So Full HP + 1/2 HD + Con Mod + 1/2 HD + Con Mod + (3x)Con Mod. Ok, updated.

Rateliff winces in pain. He sees this isn't some easy pushover enemy. 'I need to finish him fast.'

Flurry of Blows: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Flurry of Blows, Stunning Fist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Though he is slowed by the large wound and Allister can easily dodge Rateliff's swings.

Rateliff: HP 10 : Stunning Fist 1/1 : Active Effects: None

Full HD + Con Mod + 1/2 HD +1 + Con Mod + 1/2 HD +1 + Con Mod.. I thought your HD was 12, is it 10?

Allister raises his sword high above his head for another attack and brings it down fast at Rateliff's head.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 2) + 6 = 10

But the monk comes to his senses and jumps out of the way of the falling blade.

HP: 27 | Active Conditions: None

Paladin HD is 10

'This is my time!'

Flurry of Blows: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Flurry of Blows, Stunning Fist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Dam stunning fist!!!

Rateliff is able to sneak in another strike under the heavy armor while Allister is searching for him after the dodge!

Rateliff: HP 10 : Stunning Fist 1/1 : Active Effects: None
So 10+2+6+2+6+2=28

The monk's quick movements begin to make Allister angry. "Stupid man, stand still and die!"

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 3) + 6 = 15

In his anger Allister has lost focus and the monk ducks under his blade.

HP: 16(28) | Active Conditions: None

Rateliff enjoys the frustration that is beginning to show.

Flurry of Blows: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Flurry of Blows, Stunning Fist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

In his zealous sweep of attacks, Rateliff drives his fists home into well armored locations.

Rateliff: HP 10 : Stunning Fist 1/1 : Active Effects: None

Allister smiles as the monk's fists clang into his half-plate. "Stupid monk doesn't wear armor!"

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 6) + 6 = 13

This time his aim is true and the blade buries into Rateliff's skull, killing him.

HP: 16(28) | Active Conditions: None

S+$~ I forgot that first attack against an opponent that has not gone counts as sneak attack with Rogue - I might have killed you. Next time... I gotta head home. More tomorrow

Good Game. Round 2 tomorrow.

Your blows crush! I like the longer rounds. GG

Rateliff's brains ooze out for a moment, then they suck back into his skull and he crawls onto his knees with a groan.

When he stands he cracks his neck and drops into a fighting stance, "Lucky shot!"

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Rateliff: HP 24 : Stunning Fist 1/1 : Active Effects: None

Yeah dude, greatswords are the s#~&, especially with a high str mod! That's made Praetor a lot of fun to play, a hit at low levels is basically an auto-kill...and just wait until I can heal at 2nd level.

The blood disappears from Allister's blade and he sinks it back into his sheath. This time the paladin says nothing, he merely extends his hand and beckons the monk.

Initiative: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

Allister | HP: 28/28 | Active Effects: None

This play style would really benefit from having multiple players on each team, 2v2, 3v3, etc. We could open up the game to people in our shared campaigns for some side action eventually, might be fun.

Also, I was thinking Human is almost certainly the best race for PvP. The extra feat at level 1 is so huge, maybe better than any other class feature for combat.

Rateliff charges the shinning tin can of a warrior!

Flurry of Blows: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Flurry of Blows, Stunning Fist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
DC 13 Fort Save

Though his charge was easily redirected and pushed to the side.

Rateliff: HP 24 | Stunning Fist 1/1 | Active Effects: None

The paladin laughs at his foes sad attempt at an attack.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 5) + 6 = 17

He thrusts the blade through Rateliff's midsection, impaling him, and leaves a gaping wound as he draws the blade back out of his foe.

Brutal rolls!

Rateliff is in dire straits!

Flurry of Blows: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Flurry of Blows, Stunning Fist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
DC 13 Fort Save!!

The cripled Rateliff is able to land a jarring strike to Allister's head!

Rateliff: HP 7 | Stunning Fist 1/1 | Active Effects: None

Fortitude: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Allister is staggered by the attack, but shakes it off quickly and readies himself for another attack. "Time to die, monk."

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 5) + 6 = 12

But Rateliff barely steps out of the way, the blade singing past his face.

Rateliff lashes out again!

Flurry of Blows: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Flurry of Blows: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Bouncing blows off the Paladin's armor.

Rateliff: HP 7 | Stunning Fist 0/1 | Active Effects: None

Allister swings his greatsword.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 5) + 6 = 14

The blade cleaves Rateliff's arm off at the shoulder, sending the large monk to the ground.

Allister | HP:21/28 | Active Conditions: None

A silver haired man sneers and spits black tobacco slime into the sand at his feet. "Might be I'll keep the pretty one alive, take her home with me."

Initiative (Lyonel): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Initiative (Allister): 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

"You've never been with two women before have you?" The fiery Ifrit says with a snarky smile. "We're the one's in charge here!"

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 Chrona
Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 Vivian

We can do the round update in the spoiler of everyone if that's easier. How much HP do you want to do?

Let's just simplify by having starting HP x3. For example, Lyonel has 12 HP x3 = 36 HP. That okay?

Lyonel notches an arrow in his bow and fires it at the ifrit, hoping to extinguish her flame quickly.

Longbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

The arrow just finds it's target but is off mark and pierces her left leg. Immediately after he fires the shot, he backs away 20ft to put distance between them.

Sounds good to me. Multiple characters will be hard without a map, so I've made this. I'm designating the current positions as the starting positions and I moved Lyonel back 20ft.

Link.

The link with also be inbedded in the thread description.

Chrona snickers with mischief aflame in her eyes as she swiftly moves on a flanking path across the hard sand floor.

She plants her feet and reaches out to Allister, speaking in clicks and hisses.

Burning Hands Reflex DC 14 Half: 1d4 ⇒ 3

On the heals of her comrade, Vivian sprints at Allister. As the flames die out the miraculous glistening metal figure flies at Allister with a shield in one hand and a Morning star coming down on him in the other!

Charge Morning Star: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 + 2 = 20 Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Her swing was true, bringing the mace down soundly onto the flame licked man.
