    Ok I changed my stats:

    Started everything at 10 and STR at 8.

    16 points to put WIS at 18 + 5 points to put CHA at 14 = 21, +1 point to make STR 9 = 22, and INT and DEX get +2 racial for 12. Right?

    So would I be able to tell if those sources are mages? Or is "two different sources that are not magic orbs" the best I can do? Just wanna be sure Ive got all the info before I make another IC.

    FYI: My next IC Map/ Encounter post will be ready tomorrow.

    WHAT THIS MEANS: Ham it up, talk about who gets what, and update your character sheets with your new gear.

    Take stock of your healing sureges and powers and decide to press forward or run away like little girls... or something else like lock your self in a room and try and rest before moving on.

    If noone has made a significant update by this time tomorrow I will basically move the story along anyways.

    I am putting up the combat IC.

    If everyone can post their current HP, Number of remaining Surges, and Initiative I'll add that into the post.

    Also you all can act in the suprise round starting from your marching order out of site of the Kobolds (see map)

    Remeber you only have one action in the suprise round and we will assume you already have weapons at the ready.

    Ok everyone's initiative is in the IC post now.

    You are all free to make your suprise round action. (remeber you each get one action in the suprise round.)

    Then Everyone but Jefferson and Jonas get their first round actions before the Kobolds go.

    So, I rolled a 20 on my attack roll, but it was a crossbow shot:

    Crossbow shot at M3 (1d20-1=19)

    Does that fact that I have a -1 Dex modifier mean that it doesn't count?

    20 is a crit/ auto hit no matter the mod.

    So it is an auto hit with max die damage.


    Congrats!

    EDIT: I am assuming that is for your round 1 action since you'll have to use the sneak round for a move action to get in position to fire?

    Err yea what's going on with your action Al Baron? Because I want to use my surprise round to charge M3 since hes the only one I could get to... I guess you could use the surprise round to move out the door and then on your turn use the crit on M2 or M4? I don't want to step on your action though.

    Yeah, this is the reason I'm holding off. I'm waiting for the rest of you to do your thing. While I can waste a turn on a minion, I'd rather not, as I can do far more damage than most, but as I can only curse the closest target, the minions are in the way.

    Once you take your suprise round action I'll post Jonas' action and you guys can start posting your round 1 actions with a new map for reference.

    He is out of the game for now but may return. For now I will just NPC him.

    Once you guys get back to town I may go to the recruiting thread and see if someone else wants to step in.

    Man, Im tired of rolling ass-tastic on initiative. Havin to wait on everyone just to make a roll. So sad. Maybe Ill pick up Improved initiative next level.

    Also: I remember hearing about how you can retrain feats and such but I cant find it. Would you even allow retraining?

    If it is in PHB then it is allowed.
    Every time you gain a level, you can retrain your
    character: change one feat, power, or skill selection
    you made previously. You can make only one change
    at each level.

    PHB p.28

    Every level you can:

    Change a feat (so long as you meet the prereqs and the old feat isnt a prereq of anything you have currently)
    Change a skill (so long as its on your class list and isnt one you earned automatically)
    Change a power (for one same type and same level or lower)

    But only one of those things.

    Gatcha, ok, Ill probly take advantage of that, Im not liking Burning Blizzard too much, +1 damage is nice but I dont use those spells much.

    Ok, so since I dont think any of the targets I wanna hit can see me, can I try to roll a stealth check to see if I can get combat advantage over them? I don't really see why I couldn't, I do have cover from them all with me being back in the corner and combat advantage doesn't say anything about magic not being eligible.

    stealth check (1d20 1=16), if all this checks out, just let me know and Ill go make a post.

    You sure can use stealth.

    That roll will give you CA against all of them except the Pikers and you will lose stealth as soon as you attack (all enemies) or if at the end of your turn any enemy has LOS to you and you don't have total cover or total concealment then that enemy will see you.

    No worries. Sorry I was slacking lately.

    BTW: Jefferson knows the following from his arcana check. The Kobold in the corner is a wild mage who has tapped into the primal forces that give the dragons thier powers. The power is too much to control for though. All he can do is attempt to channel the surging eneries at a target usually with unexpected results.

    He is also very dangerous as he becomes severaly hurt as his will power breaks down he will likely lose control of the massive power that he weilds.

    EDIT: while making Jonas' move I realised that the Trap counts as encounter 2 for the day so at the end of that everone got an action point.
