Graz'ul's page

Should I still select a crime for my new character, even though she isn't being imprisoned at Branderscar?

Nope. Graz'ul only rages once he's taken damage. That 35, plus the 7 I took from the cobras that never got healed puts me at...-17. 3 points past full dead. XD

I'll start rolling up a new character. ^_^

Oh, and it's just semantics at this point, but Pathfinder Cleave works differently from 3.5

Cleave (Combat)

You can strike two adjacent foes with a single swing.

Prerequisites: Str 13, Power Attack, base attack bonus +1.

Benefit: As a standard action, you can make a single attack at your full base attack bonus against a foe within reach. If you hit, you deal damage normally and can make an additional attack (using your full base attack bonus) against a foe that is adjacent to the first and also within reach. You can only make one additional attack per round with this feat. When you use this feat, you take a –2 penalty to your Armor Class until your next turn.

Graz'ul would be dead either way, but I just wanted to point that out.

Here's Graz'ul's gear for the looting if you guys want to.

Armor: Masterwork Light Wooden Shield, Masterwork Studded Leather
Other Gear: backpack, bedroll, belt pouch, flint and steel, 50' rope x3, torches (10), trail rations (5 days), waterskin.
Wealth: 54g3s

For those of you curious, while at the prison Graz was connecting with 72.7% of his swings. Since leaving the prison that accuracy rate has dropped to 22.7%, bringing my total hit percentage to 39.3%.

Maybe Brawler's Flurry and Wild Fighting were a bad idea to use together. lol

Although, most of it is my s$$&e luck at rolling dice. ^_^

WHOO! I rolled higher than 10 for initiative! lol

Swift action into Pummeling Style, full-attack. Oh, and I'm flanking! Maybe I'll actually hit!

Attack 1: 1d20 + 7 - 2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 - 2 - 2 + 2 = 7
Damage 1: 1d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 = 9 plus bleed

Attack 2: 1d20 + 7 - 2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 7 - 2 - 2 + 2 = 14
Damage 2: 1d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 1 = 8 plus bleed

Attack 3: 1d20 + 7 - 2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 - 2 - 2 + 2 = 9
Damage 3: 1d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 = 7 plus bleed

Guess not. I'm gonna go do some math on what percentage of Graz'ul attack rolls have actually hit. ^_^

If he doesn't allow Wade to touch him, Graz'ul will hurry over to his side.

"It would be an honor to squire for one such as you, Sir Balin. Might I bear your sword for you?"

If he gets bad-touched by Wade before I get there, I guess I'll just wait for initiative to be rolled.

Graz'ul already has his standard "I'm totally not a half-orc" disguise up with the circlet. Anywhere that we haven't previously assured is safe, assume it's up.

Graz'ul smiles at Razul and nods. He steps into the room.

"Sir Balin! We've been looking for you! We've already found Timeon, the poor boy. He's hiding now, awaiting only our signal that the escape route is safe. Come, sir. I'll take the rear should any diabolical surprises attack from behind."

Take note that not a word of what I said is a lie. ^_^

Graz'ul rolls his shoulders and hops in place. He cracks his knuckles and his neck.

"Let's do this!"

Oooh. I'm sorry you had to deal with that. =/

By the way, with Pummeling Style even though I'm making multiple attack rolls it all counts as one heavy punch. Graz'ul throws everything he has into one punch per round. ^_^

Let's see if I can connect with more than one attack this time.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 7 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 - 2 - 2 = 17
Damage 1: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Attack 2: 1d20 + 7 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 - 2 - 2 = 22
Damage 2: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Attack 3: 1d20 + 7 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 - 2 - 2 = 15
Damage 3: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

BOOM.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 7 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 7 - 2 - 2 = 14
Damage 1: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Attack 2: 1d20 + 7 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 7 - 2 - 2 = 13
Damage 2: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Attack 3: 1d20 + 7 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 7 - 2 - 2 = 16
Damage 3: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Well, at least that swing connected a little bit.

I'll repeat my action. Pummeling Style is still active, Wild Raging Brawler's Flurry.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 7 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 - 2 - 2 = 8
Damage 1: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Attack 2: 1d20 + 7 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 7 - 2 - 2 = 12
Damage 2: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Attack 3: 1d20 + 7 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 - 2 - 2 = 9
Damage 3: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Bleh. Swing and a miss. Oddly, undead aren't immune to bleed damage, so if that first one is still standing when its turn comes around, don't forget the 1d4 bleed.

Well, I'm glad I moved to Oregon when I did. Apparently this winter has had near-record highs so it's been mild enough that the trees are already starting to bloom. ^_^

Alright, swift action to activate Pummeling Style. Wild Fighting plus Brawler's Flurry equals 3 attacks.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 7 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 7 - 2 - 2 = 6
Damage 1: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Attack 2: 1d20 + 7 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 - 2 - 2 = 15
Damage 2: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Attack 3: 1d20 + 7 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 7 - 2 - 2 = 4
Damage 3: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

This dice roller hates me so bad. lol

Graz'ul will move in behind Bracnos as well.

I feel like I'm being pigeonholed. lol

"Alright, here goes nothing."

Graz'ul opens the door and prepares for the worst.

"Alright, you guys scope the room. I'm gonna examine this oedastl."

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

"Hrm...maybe this is the stupidity it referenced. Don't be mislead by false objectives. There must be more trials...outside? wouldn't those stairs lead outside?"

Graz'ul chuckles and opens the door carefully to peer inside.

Muscle of the Society adds 2 to this if you count lifting a bar as similar enough to lifting a portcullis.

Strength Check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Graz'ul will help.

Okay...It seems that Bracnos is the closest thing to Graz'ul since Annak and Syldran have, at the very least, 5' stepped back. Bracnos, I hope this doesn't hurt too much.

Still raging (+4 Str/Con, +2 Will, -2 AC), still Power Attacking (-1 Atk, +2 Dmg), Reckless Abandon (-1 AC, +1 Atk), Brawler's Flurry (-2 Atk, extra attack at full BAB), and Wild Fighting (-2 Atk, extra attack at full BAB). Swift action move into Pummeling Style.

As a full-round action, you can pool all your attack potential in one devastating punch. Make a number of rolls equal to the number of attacks you can make with a full attack or a flurry of blows (your choice) with the normal attack bonus for each attack. For each roll that is a hit, you deal the normal amount of damage, adding it to any damage the attack has already dealt from previous rolls (if any). If any of the attack rolls are critical threats, make one confirmation roll for the entire attack at your highest base attack bonus. If it succeeds, the entire attack is a confirmed critical hit. You can only use Pummeling Style with unarmed strikes.

Here goes nothing...Bracnos's AC is normally 15, but would drop to 14 from the fatigue of just coming out of Bloodrage.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 - 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 11
Damage 1: 1d6 + 5 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 + 2 = 11

Attack 2: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 - 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 11
Damage 2: 1d6 + 5 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 + 2 = 11

Attack 3: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 - 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 9
Damage 3: 1d6 + 5 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 + 2 = 15

Graciously, none of those hit. I REALLY didn't want to hit you with that 37 damage plus bleed. Whew. Graz'ul's rage and confusion drops. ^_^

"Nine hells. I'm sorry, Bracnos. I don't know what came over me."

Graz'ul slumps against the wall, breathing heavily.

EDIT: Didn't notice Lilith's readied Daze.

Will Save: 1d20 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (10) - 1 + 2 = 11

Seems I don't even swing at all. Yay!

Both "yay" and "crap". DC 15 Will save incoming.

Will Save: 1d20 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) - 1 + 2 = 3

Awesome. Graz'ul is now confused. =/

I'm just going to make my rolls now and see what I do and how long I stay confused.

Confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 88
Will Save: 1d20 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) - 1 + 2 = 18

Okay, 88 puts me into the "Attacks nearest creature" section of confusion, I guess we'll see who or what is closest to me when my turn comes around again. I did make my Will save at the end of that next turn though, so if I hit any of you guys, it'll only be once. ^_^

Graz'ul, did you add +2 for flanking?

I did not. Well, that last punch might have hit then.

Graz'ul need to stop getting damaged. Raging is dangerous...

Okay, when my turn comes around, free action rage (+4 Str/Con, +2 Will, -2 AC), swift action Martial Flexibility to gain Power Attack (-1 Atk, +2 Dmg), Reckless Abandon (-1 AC, +1 Atk), Brawler's Flurry (-2 Atk, extra attack at full BAB), Wild Fighting (-2 Atk, extra attack at full BAB). Graz'ul swings his mighty fists at the green one three times. Let's see how this turns out.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 2 - 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 10
Damage 1: 1d6 + 5 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 2 + 2 = 14

Attack 2: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 2 - 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 13
Damage 2: 1d6 + 5 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 + 2 = 15

Attack 3: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 2 - 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 20
Damage 3: 1d6 + 5 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 + 2 = 13

Strike three, I'm out...lol

Current AC: 12, Current HP: 22

Graz'ul will double move up that way as well.

Does the Celestial language even support profanity? ^_^

All I see is Initiative rolls for you and the cobras.

I'm on my way as well. Are you gonna roll initiative for us?

lol That was great.

Graz'ul walks back to the group.

"Looks like we have a real challenge up here, guys."

Graz'ul's a loner. He does what he wants. lol That said, I DO have a backup character, just in case. I rolled a Wild Rager, after all. I'm just as likely to kill myself as I am to kill one of you. ^_^

"The problem with an already existing language is that someone somewhere speaks it, but Bracnos is right. We need to move on.."

Graz'ul wanders back down to room 3 and inspects the Eastern door there.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Oh look, a good roll for once!

"Clearly, I wasn't suggesting we figure out proper syntax an how to conjugate verbs. Don't be pedantic. I was more suggesting we work out a system where we can communicate basic concepts. Something we could pepper into common Taldane to keep people who aren't us on their toes."

Graz'ul leans in and whispers.

"If we're gonna do something like that, why not create a language of our ow? It'd be practically undecipherable to anyone but us."

see that people, freaking bracnos was more subtle than you!

@DM: there are interpretations that it would wink out if combat lasted for more than a miniute per caster level (3 I think, given that level three is the earliest you can get craft wondrous)

Even then, the duration on Disguise Self is 10 minutes/caster level. If a combat lasts for 300 rounds, something really crazy is happening and your flimsy disguise doesn't matter. ^_^

The circlet acts as a Hat of Disguise which runs off of Disguise Self. That spell isn't one that drops in combat (afaik, only Invisibility does that), just one that gives A creature that interacts with it a Will save to recognize it as an illusion.

"Nine hells!"

Graz'ul peels the boy off his leg and holds him up by the back of his shirt like one would scruff a kitten.

"Who are you, where are you from, and what are you doing here?"

"I guess I could open it for you."

Graz'ul waits a beat before adding a sarcastic "M'lady."

He smiles at Annak and opens the secret door.

Perception: 1d2 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Graz'ul: Ever the most perceptive member of the group. =/

I should be fine to come out of rage. Uncontrolled Rage says "A wild rager's rage functions as normal, except that when she reduces a creature to 0 or fewer hit points, she must attempt a Will save or become confused." I didn't reduce the wraith's hp, and the orb isn't a creature. Dropping out of rage.

Graz'ul comes to his senses.

"What in the hells was that? Did I just get blood sucked by mist?"

He gratefully accepts Wade's healing.

Ooh, this got hairy right away. Graz'ul took damage, so he swift action rages, move action uses Martial Flexibility to gain Power Attack and uses that, uses the Reckless Abandon rage power, and punches at the mist. Likely to no effect, because it's mist. ^_^

Attack: 1d20 + 9 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 9 - 1 + 1 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 = 11

Pfft...man, he's good. =/

Oh yeah, his AC drops by 3 because of Rage and Reckless Abandon. Current HP is 23.

"Yeah, there's something in here. I can't see it, but I can feel it. Better get ready for whatever gets pissed at us for breaking the sphere."

Graz'ul spin-kicks the orb.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

"Well Brac, when they say 'expendable' they usually mean you."

Graz'ul claps Bracnos on the shoulder and grins.

"I'll take one for the team this time."

He enters the room and walks over to the sphere, picking it up, if possible.

You could dip one level into Sleepless Detective, but that's not really a solution. Intimidating Prowess sets a precedent for any number of custom feats that allow you to add one stat to a skill that uses a different one. Just a few word changes are easy.

Forensic Method

You use your intellect to logically find even the most minute detail.

Benefit: Add your Intelligence modifier to Perception skill checks in addition to your Wisdom modifier.

I'll roll Perception. What's with the West door? It looks different on the map than the others.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

May as well take my chances...

Perception North: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Perception West: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Perception South: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Perception East: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Graz'ul's powers of perception are LEGENDARY. lol

"Well, I don't see anything. Maybe the way through is at the bottom of that pit."

... I use your name

So you do. For some reason, I always read "Graz" from you. lol

Graz'ul might be slightly taken aback by someone actually using his proper name. lol

He'll wait to open the door until Razul (just noticed the name similarity. ^_^) finishes his inspection if possible. I'll let our illustrious GM determine if you stopped me in time.

Graz'ul, exasperated, sighs.

"Nine Hells...we spend too much time deliberating everything."

He walks to the wall and edges his way around until he's right next to the door, then reaches over and opens it.

Looks like you missed me saying I'd open the door if it looks safe. ^_^
