Go ahead and check in
So, I'm here
Here
Here I am
No news?
I was waiting to see if anybody else would post but I guess it's just us. So, if you've bought potions have spells, channel etc, I want you to remove about 50 percent of them to simulate a real boss battle at the end of a dungeon. Since you all volunteered to be guinea pigs I trust your discretion on what you will have used. I'll put up an opening post later today for our battle.
Okay, first post is up.
Okay, that was huge. I'd ask you not to do that again with the size change.
Size change?
Edit: Oh, gotcha. I'll stay away.
Thank you. That text size was very jarring.
My bad, I missed the notification of new posts in the page, will catch up as soon as I can. So is it only the 3 of us playing?
Honestly, I feel like this got so disjointed so fast plus how slow everything is, I think we should just restart since we've literally gotten nothing done.
Restart?
.... whooops. That was meant for a different group i'm in. Okay, so, nobody posted so I'll go ahead and continue.
I'll be busy the next couple of days, then we'll use block initiative, enimies go, you guys go kind of thing. Helps shorten fights in pbp. I'll use your average init and their average init to decide who goes first then roll to decide who goes first.
On the initiative, since he made his save, I'm just going to call that a surprise round.
You may begin combat.
well, this didn't take off very quickly.
So, I'll be on vacation for the next week, either bot me, or wait for another week. I might or might not use my smartphone on vacation.
S'okay, I'm fine with taking the week since next week will be pretty busy for our family too. But the others can still take their turns.
Okay, let's proceed.
Where's the plus one from?
Point Blank Shot
She's sixty five feet from your starting postion. He could charge her though.
Well, you never said that :)
I'll do something else then
So, when you going to do that something else, I'm guessing we lost the third and I'm waiting on you
Was also waiting for the third...
Yeah, I'm going to continue without him unless he chimes in. Which will make it a bit tougher of a fight for you guys but we'll see what happens.
Hey everyone! I will be running Passing the Torch 1 & 2 as well as Siege of Gallowspire and Fate of the Scoured God over the next 2 days. As such it is incredibly unlikely that I will be able to post. Thanks for your understanding.
Sorry I haven't been around this week, been kind of down after some personal stuff. I should resume posting next week since it's minor, just s!&~ty.
Okay, sorry about that interruption, I'd been talking to someone and I had high hopes for the future before she ghosted me. I'm better now.
All the little guys but her archers are outside the effect of obscuring mist. The mist has a ten food radius from her.
So I hit the enemy next to me?
Yerp. But I'll deal with that when it's my turn to post. Man my rolls sucked though.
I'm sorry guys. I'm taking some time off. Maybe next year..
I'm sorry guys. I'm taking some time off. Maybe next year..
See, I'd worry about that if next year wasn't in a week. I hope whatever's up isn't too serious.
So obsidian, feel like it's time for recruitment, or do you feel like facing Lothan's wrath on your own?
Why not? I built Obsidian to be very hardy. Lets try it.
Alright then.
G&+##&n, what is up with these rolls. Least the damage when I actually hit you is decent.
I'm sorry, the lack of players has kind of killed my enthusiasm. I might start this up again at some future time. Thank you for indulging my attempts to get better. Would you care to hazard a guess at what you were fighting?
Quite reasonable.
...A nymph?..
A cursed male half orc barbarian with a lot of magic items that's nearly impossible to kill without a coup de grace. My friend designed him (with a girdle of gender change) to be able come back as a recurring villain with levels in sorcerer or bloodrager and a magical tattoo that makes him read as basically whatever he wants. magic, good, evil, a sandwich.(jk) If you'd care to look and see if I made a wrong call with that lightning, the magic item is Ring of Shooting Stars.
No mention that I could see about a reflex save.
LOL, a 50k gp magic item! You are correct about the lack of a save.
Good. I thought that the case though your comment threw me. What do you think, interesting villain to bring back over and over?
Mechanically sure. I'd be curious to see the motivation though.
For coming back? People beat him. I think revenge is motivation enough if you're not trying to make them the big bad.
I suppose. You should be careful then. Sometimes recurring NPC enemies can feel forced. "A recurring enemy for the sake of having a recurring enemy." Especially since you've built him/her to be very difficult to kill.
I've only seen a snapshot of the whole, so...my thoughts are worth a grain of salt.
Well technically I didn't build him to be hard to kill. My friend did. My concept was a barbarian who seemed to be a mage and then the players get a nasty surprise when they get up close and personal. My buddy took off from there thanks to herolab.
....regardless...the fact remains that they are very hard to kill.
It can be frustrating as a player when you are faced with what appears to be 'plot armor'. Whether or not they have it, or your intentions, how it appears to the players is the litmus.
I'd have to check but I actually think a coup de grace would end him like any other character, but he also has like three separate things keeping him alive so I'd have to check.
