Oh, huh, so it does. My mistake, then. But yes, that was intended to avoid his AoO, though, as you say, Combat Expertise doesn't actually change that.
I'll give it another few hours before botting Elvina - I suspect it won't be necessary, though.
I hope everyone had a great Halloween! I know I sure did XD Not a ton of trick-or-treaters this year. I had maybe half the number as last year.
Also, the corbie borders look more pink and blue to me. The blue looks like a sateen blue
I'm colorblind, so you may well be right. xD Sorry for botting you - if you want, you can change your actions.
I'll give it another couple hours before botting Elvina.
Was in a bad accident today. As such my posting will be delayed, sorry for the inconvenience everyone.
Feel free to bot Riftun.
Oh no! Wishing you a swift recovery, take care!
Sorry I missed a day :(
Please take care of yourself, Rackal!
Hope healing goes quickly, Rackal, for you and all involved.
Sorry to hear that :(
I hope damage was only material.
I'll give everyone a chance to respond to Yuto before kicking open the door, because, as you might've guessed from the map, there's a couple enemies in there.
I'm struggling with some stuff I'll post when I can
No worries. Handle your business and such, then come have fun with us.
I'll get a post up in the morning, as both Rackal and Elvina have indicated they might need botting recently.
Yuto has kindly pointed out to me that these creatures do, in fact, have the stench special rule. Fortunately, I don't think this'll change much, but here's the Fort saves.
Oh. Well, everyone except Elvina's sickened. Strictly speaking, that would make Torra's shot miss, but I don't feel like retconning that much.
Fair!
I liked your explanation that these were recently washed trogs though :D
Unfortunately, Kikonu didn't care enough about their stench to force them to clean themselves regularly. Maybe he also liked the fish in the water, so didn't want them polluting it. Who knows?
But yes, I did find the idea amusing.
Sickened applies to weapon damage rolls too, Torra.
Although, now that I say that, I don't actually know whether the blast is considered a weapon. In this context, I'm leaning towards "no," because it's not kinetically powered by her body, so to speak. It counts as a weapon for Weapon Focus and the like, but as magic for DR, so it's clearly not got a hard and fast rule.
Ah, then subtract 2 from her damage. HeroLab seems to think the penalty does apply to the blast damage, so let's go with that.
Sure thing. With that roll, it still doesn't matter, though. xD
Because you've been fighting enemies with ferocity for so long, I forgot how relatively squishy enemies without it are at this level.
I think it applies. This spell weapon damage FAQ might be relevant to fixate a criteria.
Yeah, that does seem to imply that it does. Good to know for the future.
Oh, right. Elvina can use her remedies to get rid of the sickened condition, if she wants. Only one person per turn, but there you go.
I'll get a post up later today. Need to get my flu shot and stuff.
I'm a little concerned, as I haven't heard from Elvina all week, and I reached out to her yesterday. Hope everything is going well with her player, but I'm not sure.
Mmm... as she said last Saturday that she was struggling with some stuff, I guess she is ok but need some time to deal with whatever came up.
Reminder: Retreat is an option. Things may get dicey, so try to keep that in mind. Though in general, it's recommended that you retreat the way you came. Otherwise it's just running away, and who knows what'll be waiting for you there?
Hey everyone! Thank you soooo much for your patience.
Things have been crazy to deal with from concussions to figuring out how to get to work, to legal engagements sooooo it's been crazy.
That said, I will be returning to the campaign tomorrow! I would today but I have a 6 hour road trip to make to get a car from a friend.
So I shall return tomorrow~
Thank you all for your patience again! It's very much appreciated.
Welcome back, Rackal! Good to have you here again, and glad to see you're doing alright.
I'm a little amused at how all three attacks got a total of 13. I just find it unusual and this pleases me.
We are on sync xD
Wait to see when we go on 20 :)
I figure the dice roller still owes you some of those from your combat with the dire corbies, where they got like, seven natural twenties over the course of four rounds or something equally ridiculous.
Huh. Shoot. I miscalculated Mutilduh's attack bonus, because of reasons. She'd actually have had +9. Not a huge deal, but worth noting so that when she takes her next action you won't be shocked at her bonus.
Oh! Torra should have a +2 to hit there as well from Riftun's combat advice. Sorry to throw off the 13 curve there xD
So yeah Torra has a 15 to hit :)
Fair enough! I thought she'd added it in, but with so many buffs I occasionally miss something.
I missed the combat advice, thanks for catching that!
I am loving that the posh girl is actually the one with the most grit and coldest mind in the party :)
Hehe, me too! Nice descriptions!
Happy Friday btw! :D
Oh, right. The reason I haven't mentioned the loot is that you're currently on a bit of a time limit, and no one indicated they wanted tis search for it yet.
The true big bad of this campaign revealed!
BLACK MOLD!!!!
*gasp shock-horror*
I'm sure it'll be fine. You did head in the unfortunate direction of where there might be some folks coming.
Aah, my favorite character is here now. I wonder what I'll do with her... I'm not plotting, promise.
This is probably a bad idea!
But Riftun has a wisdom score of 8 so he's a little too trusting xD
Oh well~
Rippers~
Oh, right. No one's sickened any more.
Yay!~
Also, totally thought she was gonna eat Riftun not gonna lie. Assumed she was looking at him and Elvina because they have the lowest AC.
I'm holding off on replying so our lady PCs have a chance to get a word in edgewise.
I'm not sure whether harpies have talons on their hands or just on their feet. The illustration isn't terribly clear, either. Oh well! Probably not important.
The only thing is that talons are only usable while flying, I think, implying that they're for feet. Anyone with better insight into the rules than me can feel free to correct me.
Birds in general only have feet, so talons go there. For harpies, the common ones have bird feet but human hands. Even if they had natural attacks in their hands, I guess designers would have defined those as claws rather than talons.
Mmm... the bestiary harpy only says "morningstar", but looking at some of the pictures I would see fair them having claw attacks instead.
Funnily, Zaiobe's stats entry has 2 talons. Maybe she's some sort of mutant! (Admittedly, the AP doesn't mention that, so it's unlikely.)
Ah, I was basing this off Rise of the Runelords where the harpy monks have talon hands in the illustration but perhaps this one is different? Zaiobe's illustration isn't as clear.
