Grogg Fire-Bringer's page

hehe I have a feeling that you'll kill most people, just watch out for the little munchkins that go invisible. I know there are atleast 2 of them. And I'm serious, you should challenge the halfling and freak him out when you hit him while he's flying. The only thing I would worry about is him flying back and forth but that shouldn't be to hard to deal with.

lolz nice touch with the musket. I'm not gonna lie, I'm hosed against anyone that gets big (20 ft threat is pretty awesome), but I'm looking at the spell casters, ranged people, and a few of the fighters and I feel like I'll give them a good poking, assuming of course I roll more than 1s and 2s on damage...

hehe, yeah its fine. Also, I'm dead.

Grogg falls to the ground with a face full of hammer and doesnt seem to be moving anymore.

dont get me wrong, I think it makes sense to be able to do what you're doing. In fact I think its really smart, to do it. It just that the rules present the gauntlets as a one handed weapon which couldn't be wielded at the same time as a two handed weapon. Honestly the biggest reason I bring it up is my feeble attempt to survive. I'm pretty much dead as if I step in your reach you just step back and smash me again, and if I do as is, I get smashed 1 action sooner. Your build is pretty legit. Funny thing is I think you could trash the halfling on his roc because you take up a 5 ft cube and reach another 20 ft (20+5=25 the max size of the room) :)

Ok, I think I get it, though I'm not quite sure how you can be wielding spiked gauntlets and have the two handed reach weapon ready for AoO. In any case, Grogg is in for a world of hurt.

The hit from Rolg brings terror to the now blood filled eyes of the tiny goblin. Grogg crouches low in an effort to hide and again pounds his chest, points his gun and fires. as soon as the gun fires and smoke rises, Grogg makes a break for it.

also, does a 26 on your touch AC not hit you? I only ask because you said it 'pinged of his chestplate.' Its fine if it doesn't hit, I'm just trying to get a feel for how to survive against an angry dwarf.

ahhh, looks like someone likes to get big. Random question(s): Since you are large, where would you say that you threaten around the pillar in c12. I ask because I can see you threatening quite a few squares but with a pillar in the way, i figure there are a few squares that you wouldn't be able to hit. Also, just so I make sure I understand Reach with large weapons, you do not threaten a 10 ft radius around Rolg right?

hmmm, I just figured its the closest interpretation to sheathing a big hammer. If that doesn't work just let me know and we can treat it as dropped on the ground

Seeing the Dwarf unphased by is amazing shooting skills, Grogg pounds his chest, levels his rifle at Rolg and fires again.

Touch Attack: 26
Dmg: 3

Wow, if my bullets keep doing that much.....and I'm still in A11

hammer is slung over his back. and Goblins are the only ones that can do it. I know it sounds sketch. Its a racial feat for goblins that only applies to firearms.

whoops sorry that to hit is 2 higher than what it should be. its a 25 not 27. I messed up my numbers....

upon seeing the fuzzy red dwarf, Grogg lets out a squeak of delight that could curdle milk. Ahahahahah, Dwarf it! Dwarf it!
Grogg sets his sights on the dwarf and fires at the mass of hair and armor.

eh, its a musket (medium) and a lucerne hammer (small but still big for a small creature). as for armor :) Grogg has his shiney to protect him. :) (yes there is armor but its under what can best be described as a raggedy shirt.) Cool thanks for the heads up I've done pbp before but more story and less map so if something looks fuzzy I'll do my best to explain it and if it still doesnt make sense I'll defer to you.

Hehe, I guess you are the next person ready Llaelian. I'd claim your spot in pit 8. :)

Ahahahahahaha. Boom Boom Time!!!
Hey Rolg, let me know what speed you want the freeze out at. I'm pretty much free until Monday so I can post as much as necessary. Also just to make sure I've got this right, G is before R in the alphabet so I take it I'm up top and you're on bottom?

Initiative:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Grogg bounds out of his gate a little more excited than anyone going into a gladiator pit should. His attire is typical of a goblin, ratty shirt with some shinys underneath. His weapons however are not in the least bit goblin make. He has two weapons that look impossible for anyone his size to wield: a massive hammer and a hollow stick which Rolg would most likely recognize as a fire-arm of deadly proportions.

I'm good to go assuming I got approved.

I'm very tempted to accept. Just one quick questions though.

Are the firearms level the standard one? Which means no advanced firearms?

Hehehe. It's just standard. But in the right hands, they can still be pretty messy. Ahahhahahhahahaha.

Ooooooooo!!! Let me at em'! Let me at em!

I think its so that round 1 a mounted cavalier cant charge you with a lance for double damage or immediately smashing wizards by putting them in melee round 1. Personally I think the surprise round is good in theory, but it kind of nerfs a melee character unless they dip for about 4 lvls into the rogue so they can get a full round in the surprise round. Oh, unless they are a monk with deflect arrow. Gets even funnier with snatch arrow as you could just launch the arrow right back at them.

Why do you think it nerfs the melee character?

I guess nerf is a harsh word, but as most decent spells can be fired off as a standard action and there are feats that allow an archer to fire 2 shots at once and later fire full damage on a single arrow, wizards get a bit of a bonus because of that, but rangers get the real advantage. Granted, if a fighter just goes sword and shield, they can take feats to counter shots every round, but I think its a tad early to pull that off (unless you are a monk or unarmed fighter and snatch arrows).
