Elias Rages's page

I did. Most shameful. But I also forgot the penalty for being Frightened, so that cancels out and it's just +1 to damage.
(I was rushing to get it in before the SFS special for PaizoCon started.)

"HEY! WHAT DID I--oh wait, she said 'guppy,' okay."

Elias turns to the shark in front of him. "BUT I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU."

◆ Raise Shield
◆ Swim to tread water
◆ Strike White Wolf Jaws: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22 for Piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

A little shaken up still, Elias's swimming falters. He just pushes towards the closest enemy and attempts to bite a shark's fin.

◆ Raise Shield
◆ Swim Athletics: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 11 - 2 = 18
◆ Strike White Wolf Jaws: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 1 - 2 = 12 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 = 12

Will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Elias bites at the baron one more time, before dutifully pushing off to fall back a bit. After all, the captain said so.

◆ Raise Shield
◆ Strike the Baron Wolf Jaws: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
◆ Swim Athletics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

"Bad fish!"

Elias had temp HP from raging, so should still be at 43.

"You're the boss?" Elias snarls, "Stop being bad! Leave the fish people alone!"
He pushes forward through the water, circling part of the way behind the Baron and his mount before trying to bite him.

◇ Rage, gaining 4 temp HP
◆ Swim Athletics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26 Critical success, 20 feet
◆ Swim Athletics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23 Critical success, 20 feet.
◆ Strike the Baron Wolf Jaws: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Elias starts to sink. He has to kick his feet and focus on swimming just to maintain his position. Being underwater has downsides--and that makes him MAD. He bites down on that flipper, punishing it for missing him.

◆ Swim to tread water
◆ Strike Wolf Jaws (Flanking): 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 1 = 30 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 1 = 11
◆ Raise Shield

Elias closes the distance and attempts to bite the giant turtle.

Connecting is easy. Biting a giant turtle effectively is hard.

◆ Raise Shield
◆ Swim Athletics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
◆ Strike Wolf Jaws (flanking): 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 1 = 20 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 1 = 17

Elias swims forward. Even with all the magic help, moving through water isn't fast.

◆ Swim Athletics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16 Success, 15 feet.
◆ Swim Athletics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27 Critical success, 20 feet.
◆ Raise Shield

Elias shifts. At first he struggles to move through the water, but starts getting the hang of it. He might be able to move around, but... he opts to take the shortest route to the enemies, to keep the dragon on the opposite side for now.

He swims up and bites the closest one.

◇ Rage, gaining 3 temp HP
◆ Swim Athletics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17 Success, 15 feet
◆ Swim Athletics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29 Critical success, 20 feet
◆ Strike Red Wolf Jaws: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Keeping his shield up, Elias glowers at Rahla as he once again becomes suddenly more bestial. "JusT STOP!"

◆ Raise Shield
◆ Rage (no temp HP, since he was already raging within the last minute)
◆ Demoralize (Intimidating Glare) Intimidation: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

I made my Reflex save right after your post--23, success.

Apprehensive, huh? Let's turn that into regret.

Elias tears himself away from the mudman, deciding it's time to go after their boss.
Though wading through the mud to get to her is a bit of a chore. So it's less of an impressive charge and pounce then he'd like. Slog and pounce.

That's very aggravating, which he channels into his attack.

◆ Stride
◆ Stride
◆ Grab Athletics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

"TRY AGAIN!"

"That's nOT NICE!"
Elias once again quickly takes on his more canine aspect in response to being attacked. He gets his stowed shield back out as he tries to bite the mudman... even though "mudman" sounds like something he might not want to have in his mouth. Gross. He may have hesitated a little there.

◇ Rage
◆ Draw shield
◆ Raise shield
◆ Strike Blue Wolf Jaws: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 1 = 15 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 1 = 17

"That hurt!"

While not in his most rational or careful state, Elias still sees a need to do something if he wants to stay on his feet.

He pulls out and drinks a healing potion. It works well enough that he decides he can continue focusing on offense, and makes a grab at the sea devil's arm.

◆ Interact to draw potion
◆ Use potion healing: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (8, 5) + 5 = 18
◆ Grab Blue Athletics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
Bleed: 1d4 ⇒ 4 Persists?: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Elias howls in the face of the sea devil, but he also coughs a little so it's not as scary as it might be.

He then sweeps low to knock it over, and follows up with a bite.

◆ Demoralize Blue Intimidation: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 vs Will DC
◆ Trip blue Athletics: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29 vs Reflex DC
◆ Strike Wolf Jaws: 1d20 + 10 - 5 ⇒ (13) + 10 - 5 = 18 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
bleed: 1d4 ⇒ 2 and Persists?: 1d20 ⇒ 9

"Stop hurting people!" Elias barks at the sea devils. As he shouts, he seems fiercer. His teeth seem sharper. No, his teeth are definitely sharper, and other aspects of his appearance also seem increasingly canid. "OR I'LL HURT YOU!"

He's definitely changing, and as he bounds forward he looks significantly different. He races across the plank, down the dock, and across the beach towards the sea devil that still threatens a porter--to give it someone else to threaten.

◇ Rage, gaining 4 temp HP and other benefits (importantly, a speed boost)
◆ Stride
◆ Stride
◆ Stride; not fast enough to get there without three Strides, but fast enough to stay out of their reach while moving (unless they have 10-foot reach, in which case I move past all but red)

"That doesn't make sense. WHY DON'T YOU MAKE SENSE??"

It's very rude that they're not making sense. Also that they're attacking for no reason. That's also bad.

Elias bounds forward, leading with his teeth and his shield.

◇ Quick-Tempered, gaining 3 temp hp
◆ Raise Shield
◆ Stride
◆ Strike Red Wolf's Jaws: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
↺ No Escape if a foe within reach attempts to move away from Elias. He Strides to keep up with them.

Elias pushes his shield up between them, before biting the assailant.

◆ Raise Shield, increasing AC to 21
(◆ Will Step up to Red if White is down.)
◆ Strike White (or Red) Wolf Jaws: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
(◆ If Elias didn't need to Step, Strike White Wolf Jaws: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (14) + 9 - 5 = 18 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14)

"Don't burn books! That's bad!" Elias is annoyed. One might even call him irate.

He moves forward, and as he does he seems a little different. He didn't have so much fur before. And what big teeth!
For the moment, he uses them to to try to grab on to the first thug's clothing and pull them over, but they're probably going to make him use them more. They always do.

◇ Quick-Tempered. Elias rages, gaining 3 temp hp.
◆ Stride
◆ Stride
◆ Trip White Athletics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Flying into a rage over such a little thing. How silly.
It just makes Elias angrier.

Stepping around to a better angle, he continues trying to bite the Warden.

* Raise Shield
* Step (to flank)
* Strike Wolf Jaws: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

The Warden seems to have gotten over her fear of her imprisoned employees' rebellion.

Well then. We'll just have to make some more!

Keeping his shield forward, Elias leans back and lets out a piercing howl before lashing out to bite her again.

* Raise Shield
* Demoralize Intimidate: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
* Strike Wolf Jaws: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Elias puts up his shield, though it might not be helpful against a mage. He jumps towards the Warden again, snapping at her with his jaws.

Oh. Wow, she really is short.

* Raise Shield
* Step
* Strike the Warden Wolf Jaws: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 = 13 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 = 9
Hero Point!: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 Is that really DC 20 while she's Frightened 3? Doesn't matter, failed regardless.

Elias is so surprised it almost snaps him out of his bestial state as the more human part of his mind tries to figure out what happened. How did he manage to break a broomstick by biting the Warden?
Also, why is he running away?

Sputtering on dust, he turns around and dashes back to where he started.

* Stride to flee, as commanded.
* Cough on dust
* Stride to... go back... to exactly where he was.

Elias hurries around the broomsticks, taking on a more canid form as he goes. Once clear, he pounces.

"Chew toy!" he snarls as he snaps at the Warden.

* Rage
* Stride. This definitely provokes RS from Purple and Red. If they do attack him, he'll stop next to Red and attack it instead rather than also provoking Blue.
* Strike Wolf Jaws: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

"Aw, what cute little--hey! That HURT!"

The last word comes out more like a snarl, as Elias's visage changes. He becomes a lot more bestial, hair spreading over his face and hands. His head shifts to something canine as his teeth and nails grow larger and sharper.

Snapping his jaws, he bites back at the mouse that bit him.

* Rage. This reduces his base AC to 17; there's a reason I made a separate profile here!
* Strike Blue Wolf Jaws: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
* Raise Shield

And Elias still has his potion from the shopkeepers.

"For such a little dolly," Elias is momentarily distracted, "she sure makes a big *thud*."

The arrow returns his attention to the situation at hand. "STOP SHOOTING ARROWS AT US!" he howls, before darting around the warhound to take out his rage on it instead.

* Stride
* Strike Wolf Jaws (flanking): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Okay, Bad Idea. Hero Point: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
* Raise Shield

Elias takes a bite at the wolf that bit him before obediently falling back, to protect Mibli of course. He interposes his shield between himself and the... fiends? as he retreats.

* Strike Red Wolf Jaws (flat-footed): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
* Raise Shield
* Stride

Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21 Success, 1 damage.

"Bad dogs!" shouts Elias. As usual, he becomes more dog-like himself as he lunges at the beasts.

* Rage
* Stride
* Strike Wolf Jaws vs Red: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Elias circles around for a better angle, then lunges at the armor again as he continues trying to tear it apart with his teeth.

* Step
* Strike Wolf Jaws (flanking): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
* Strike Wolf Jaws (MAP, flanking): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

"I see it!" says Elias happily as Geshko tells them about the weak spot.

Becoming more beast-like once again, he leaps at the armor and tries to tear away some of its plating.

* Rage, gaining 2 temp HP among other things.
* Stride
* Strike Wolf Jaws: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 1 = 15 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Elias tears at the demon that hit him, then glares up at the villain commanding it. "You're next!" he snarls.

Still, aware of how badly he was just hit--and by a little minion at that, he keeps his shield up.

* Strike Wolf Jaws (Frightened 1, flanking): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
* Demoralize Nathatel Intimidation (Frightened 1): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
* Raise Shield

Elias had 20 hp +2 temp hp from raging, so that leaves me with 10.

Shouldn't the Inspired Defense condition make that a regular hit? Or did we already use that?

Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 or Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Elias is affected by the spell, but tries to hide it.

Assuming his canid form, he chases down the little demon. "You think you're scary? I'M SCARIER!"

* Rage
* Stride
* Strike Wolf Jaws (Frightened 2): 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 7 - 2 = 12 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

"Knock it off!"

Elias bites at the scout, but it's not about biting down or tearing this time. Just to grab at his clothes and twist and send him sprawling down.

And then really bite him.

* Trip Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
* Strike Wolf Jaws (MAP): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
* Strike Wolf Jaws (MAP): 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (6) - 3 = 3 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Well, in theory.

Elias had 2 temp hp from reading, so he should be at 15.

"Back off!" Elias howls at the thug in front of him. He howls before lunging again, snapping teeth and jaws.

* Demoralize Scout A Intimidation: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
* Strike Scout B Wolf Jaws (flanking): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
* Raise Shield

"Oh, thanks for coming right over!" Elias says cheerfully, before his eyes and teeth both grow sharper.

He lunges and bites at the attacker, and then pushes his shield up to hold him back.

* Rage
* Strike Wolf Jaws: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
* Raise Shield

Realizing he's fairly ineffective against the bunnies (who should not be biting dogs!), Elias turns and goes after the wolf instead.

"Sister! Bunnies should be food--maybe pets. You shame yourself!"

He doesn't... actually have any particular way to communicate with wolves, though, so he resorts to trying to bite.

* Stride
* Stride
* Strike Wolf Jaws (Frightened): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Oooh, sorry. I think I was looking at my name bolded under "before your turn." (And I was flanking at the time. Khaldan moved.)

Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21 Success for half, 6/2 = 3
Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 Failure for 5
Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13 Oof. Frightened 1.

This is backwards. Bunnies are not supposed to bite him. Elias finds the animals' unnatural behavior unnerving, and their teeth unusually sharp.

Well, he can do that too. Stomping his way out of the pile of adorable terrifying bunnies, he resumes his canine aspect and spins around snarling. "You're doing it WRONG! I'll show you!" and... snaps ineffectually at the rabbits.

* Stride (can you flank a swarm?)
* Rage
* Strike Attack (Frightened, maybe flanking?): 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 7 - 1 = 10 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

"Uck, that's the worst!" says Elias.
He then continues run to put the sermon written in his mouth. He does at least try to hold it back from retaliating with his shield.

* Trip Athletics (Frightened): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
* Strike Wolf Jaws (Map, Frightened): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
* Raise Shield

"That's not NICE!" Elias snarls. While not as full of a transformation as when he shifted into puppy form to enhance his nose earlier, the subtle canid traits he's had all along quite suddenly become much more pronounced. The canine mouth and teeth, in particular, seem much more alarming at full size.

"We were trying to help you!" The last word is almost lost in a howl, and then he snaps his jaws and bites at the... elf?

* Rage
* Demoralize A1 Intimidation: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17. While I could have reversed the order this turn so it's largely moot, Elias does have the Raging Intimidation feat and can Demoralize while raging. That also means he has Intimidating Glare, so it doesn't matter if the target doesn't understand his language.
* Stride A1 Wolf Jaws: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Elias's AC is 18, or 20 with his shield raised.

I have a different profile set up (this one), for when he rages.
I mostly did it to have a different profile picture, since his rage is a morph effect, but since I was doing it anyway I didn't put any rage stats in the main profile. Plus it's less confusing. He potentially has four different ACs!
