Fair enough. I wasn't reading between the lines clearly enough.
just so you know, I hate the dnd alignment system and I won't kill anything or anyone just because the bestiary says it's evil. Death is a very strong sentence and you need to actually have done something equally evil.
Not your fault, GM. I should specify every day.

That's perfectly reasonable. Mind, there are a lot of things that will probably attack you first...

Really? I find that hard to believe...
I know, you guys are just so charming that I cannot imagine why things would attack you first.

I adore the classic alignment system, but feel the exact same way. Only angels and devils (and Sith) deal in absolutes; plain old mortals on the other hand are just that - just people.
And I'm more concerned about Sam protecting you right now, Pike.
Haha. You're absolutely right, Sam. But IC, Pike is more worried about protecting Sam. Never was much for safety... XD
Pike is probably gonna end up bleeding out on the dirty floor of a goblin hovel, if he's not careful. :P
Yeah... that's a distinct possibility. OOC, I don't like what he's doing. But IC, he's very stubborn and still feels responsible for these youngsters, except for Kurai.
Maybe Tai should start opening doors.
Yeah but like the cloak Pike isn't going to go along with that unless someone insists.
Sec, whatever dice gods you're praying to for those rolls... please stop. Or at least induct us into the faith. Dear lord.
Also, I'm seeing something of a pattern emerging.
- Enemy gets the jump on us.
- Pike gets smacked.
- Tai practically one-shots the threat.
- And somehow Sam is dead last in initiative despite having the highest score!
Yeah I'm not a fan of this pattern either!!! XD It'll help when I get combat reflexes next level...
I know, right? I'm as shocked as you guys. These goblins aren't supposed to be that threatening!
Yeah, I was surprised to see that Sam ended up with such a crappy initiative roll (again). Honestly, the goblins and he tied, but they're slightly more dextrous than him, so they get to go first. xD
But tie goes to highest init modifier, right? Which is probably Samton's.
Oh, huh. Is that the thing? I may be misremembering my rules.
Yup, I am. Oh well. I guess everyone beats the poor goblins out. So, to modify what I said in the gameplay thread, everyone's up! xD

Oh, wait... looking at goblins' stats, they actually have equal initiative modifiers to Sam. A bit of a moot point now, though.
Tai, I've moved your token to where I think you were intending to go. If you want to move it elsewhere, feel free to do so.
OBJECTION, your honor! A touch attack of 12 would indeed hit a man such as Pike under normal circumstances. The old warhorse is not as spry as he once was, and only has a touch AC of 11. HOWEVER! These are not normal circumstances! Recall that the young wizard Samton Verro, in attendance at this very courtroom today, cast the spell Protection from Evil on Pike. The spell last a full minute, is still in effect and provides, among several other effects, a +2 deflection bonus to AC. Deflection bonuses also add to touch AC! Your honor, the defendant's total touch AC is not 12 but 13! The defense holds that Ol' Pike is still standing!
Stupid cool courtroom action music starts playing...
Yeah, I dunno. Should be apologizing really, as either Pike or myself should have noted temporary spell effects such as these in our posts. The GM has enough to keep track of without having to remember those. But yeah, I think Pike wasn't hit, just barely, by that firework shot.
Then again, looking over Pike's stats, I can't quite figure out why he's written as having 11 touch AC. His Dex is a flat 10. So maybe that's a mistake and he was hit...?
Haha. Thanks, Samton. But you're right that my T AC is 10 normally so 12 with the spell.
Welp, I tried.
Oh, I completely forgot about Protection from Evil. Well, you seem to have figured out that it didn't matter. xD
Feels like a Tower Defense map.
Haha. You guys are cutting through these poor things incredibly easily. I mean, aside from Pike being unconscious... >_<
Level 2 can't come soon enough for you guys, huh.
It's been a looong time since I played a full BAB character. Makes level 1 so much easier...
I'll be traveling tomorrow, and away until Thursday, but I should still have access to the Internet. My posting may be sporadic, but I think I'm okay. Just wanted you guys to know.
Still here. Just unconscious. ;)
"Merry Christmas, you filthy animal," said the adventurer to the goblin.
Merry Christmas everyone. I know the holiday season will be slow here on the boards. To make matters worse, I'll be travelling to Egypt until Jan 5th. In case this gets rolling again, please bot me.
Will be away from the internet the 28th and 29th for an anniversary trip. I'll be back to playing on the 30th.
The holidays have wound down for me and I'm ready to get back in the saddle! As soon as I'm conscious that is... XD

Hey GM! We'd love to hear from you soon!
