No problem, hope you feel better!

I do find it entertaining that the Eladrin I shot on my surprise round didn't react to getting shot in the neck with an arrow.

I suppose that no response is better than the slow, dramatic clap.

Haha, whoops, thought that was a readied action.

cytorak

I went ahead and made my roll (I think it's technically Saurfang's turn), but I missed so it shouldn't affect anyone.

Hermenegilde

hehe. we suck.

cytorak

It's fine! Everyone's fine!

Saurfang

Everything will be ok! <---Also that's a good movie!

hjparcins

Yuck, bad rolls for most of us that round.

And don't forget to take advantage of that +damage zone.

Rius

Questions;

Do I have to make one save vs Restrain, or two?

Anybody know if critical hits ignore Weakened?

Hayasa

Yeah, just one save. I only mentioned the second in case someone did any "I make the second hit have missed" schtick.

Weakened: Ongoing damage you deal is not affected, but nothing is there re: critical hits ignoring it.

Rius

Ok, cool. Let's hope my boots serve me well, heh.

I'll post in a short while; took a day and a half off work to take care of my sick g/f and now that I'm back, the place is a cluster. Need to catch up/clean up after my coworker =/

Hayasa

No problem!

cytorak

I have no flashy interrupts on the Warforged attacks; I used my one per round on Sariela's miss.

Don't worry; it'll be on like Donkey Kong soon enough.

Rius

Yeah, that ain't right.

Hayasa, I'm just dazing them each round, not stunning; you know they get one action, right?

Edit: Also, your round summary doesn't reflect my Second Wind

32 - Sariela 79/94 HP, @K18, weakened (save ends), Defenses 28/27/26/28

Hayasa

Man....I am rubbish at this! I guess thats what I get for posting late at night. Excuse me while I destroy you all!

Rius

If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.

Hayasa

Clearly this is a terrifying prospect, so Merombo suffers.

Why do you make him suffer?

Rius

There is more of him.

cytorak

Yikes, that was unpleasant.

hjparcins, do you want me to heal you, or are you going to use your Ancient Bear Spirit on yourself?

Rius

I get an Opportunity Attack against E1, right?

hjparcins

Ow! Reflex - my true weakness. It was a critical though, so that kicks in my 5 hp/round regen for the rest of the encounter.

As for the healing, I'll probably be okay. I'll get 30 hp back on my turn if I heal myself, plus I should be able to swing 3d6 of free, surgeless hp for Sariela too.

I'll also see about getting some saving throws in there for us if the need is still there on my turn. Hopefully we start rolling like Hayasa did these last couple turns!

Saurfang

Sorry it took me so long to post, guys! Yesterday, during the times when I usually check the forums, I was getting a database error.

cytorak

I guess I'll just be majestically talking to myself then.

cytorak

So, if you're under two Save Ends effects, can you only save against one per round, or do you roll for each effect?

Also, I'm trying to decide what or if I should multi-class (provided the game goes on for a while). Any thoughts? I'm guessing not anything involving healing, since we are awfully heavy on heals at the moment. I was thinking Sneak of Shadows, but I'm open to suggestions.

Rius

You get to save against everything you can save against, every round, unless there's a specific exception.

cytorak

I'm sure everyone reads everyone else's posts, but check out my action as they affect everyone. I used Mantle of Unity to bump all of our stats up.

Also, let me know if you want to replace your attack roll with the 10 I got from Rewrite the Future.

Hayasa

I can see now that there is a map discrepancy!

No, you don't, as Sariela shifted to K18. Just posted a map update/correction.

hjparcins

Hey guys, sorry its taking so long. I'm less than a week away from the Bar exam so it's getting a little hectic. I'll have something up tonight for sure.

cytorak

Is E1 dazed still? Rius put it in his actions part of the post, but he didn't mention it in the round update.

Hayasa

Both dazed effects expired at the end of Sariela's turn.

FYI guys, I'm not intending to split up NPC initiative again. It really slows things down!

Hermenegilde

Got questions regarding invisibility
If a power of mine says "a creature within 10 squares". Can I choose it ?
Also area attacks hit normally ?

cytorak

Fighting invisible dudes (from the PHB):

If you’re fighting a creature you can’t see—when a creature is invisible, you’re blinded, or you’re fighting in darkness you can’t see through—you have to target a square rather than the creature. You also have to figure out which square to attack. Here’s how it works

Invisible Creature Uses Stealth: At the end of a concealed creature’s turn, it makes a Stealth check opposed by your passive Perception check. If you beat it, you know there’s a creature present that you can’t see, and you know the direction to its location. If you beat it by 10 or more, you know exactly what square the creature ended its turn in. The concealed creature also makes a Stealth check if it takes an immediate action or an opportunity action.

Make a Perception Check: On your turn, you can make an active Perception check as a minor action, comparing the result to the concealed creature’s last Stealth check. If you win, you know the direction to the creature’s location, or its exact location if you beat it by 10 or more.

Pick a Square and Attack: Choose a square to attack, using whatever information you’ve gleaned so far about the target’s location. Roll the attack normally (taking the –5 penalty for attacking a creature that has total concealment). If you pick the wrong square, your attack automatically misses, but only the DM knows whether you guessed the wrong square or your attack just missed.

Close or Area Attacks: You can make a close attack or an area attack that includes the square you think (or know) the concealed creature is in. Your attack roll doesn’t take a penalty from the target’s concealment.

Hermenegilde

But say I use an action point. I get to deal 5 damage to a creature within 5 squares. Can I deal it to it ?

cytorak

Hmm...probably only if you beat her Stealth with your Perception check by 10 or more, IMHO.

That sounds like a GM call.

Hayasa

Yah I go with what Cyt says. All effects need to be targeted just like primary effects unless explicitly stated otherwise.

You'll need a Perception check to beat 35 (Stealth check +10) to pinpoint E2 well enough to hit her with that.

If the target is within the area, Close and Area work as normal. Targeted attacks take the full concealment penalty (-5)

cytorak

:whistle:

Saurfang

Heh heh. I think Merembo must be taking the bar exam. Good luck, by the way!

Hayasa

Either that or he is post-exam drunk, which is one of the best kinds of drunk imaginable.

cytorak

Oh, yeah...I totally forgot about that. My bad.

hjparcins

I'm back.

Yeah, had to drive a few hours to Tampa and take the Bar exam. Two day exam, and then as predicted, I had to recover a day or two (i.e. drink heavily).

Back in business though, no more future interruptions.

Saurfang

How'd ya do?
