    Map stuff- Estir moved into G8 where Evanche already was, so I've put him in G7 instead.

    Edit: Make that G9. Only just read Nealneal's post, don't wanna negate his defense bonuses unduly.

    On the upside this means she was also in the rockfall. God damn the rocks have done more damage than the dragon.

    Remember you can guys roll dungeoneering to predict where the next rock'll fall.

    In that case Amon'kul now has someone adjacent to him. Reduce his defenses by 2.

    Moved him to G9 instead, so you've still got the bonuses.

    I could roll Dungeoneering, but I'm not trained and can't hit the TN.

    So I didn't bother. All I can do is hit stuff and bemoan the lack of appreciation something has for ART.

    Amon'kul would need to roll a 26 on that Dungeoneering roll. DC 31 is HARD. Even with training and a +5 stat mod, you'd need a 16 to get it.

  • GrogGrog My sword is only steel in a useful shape.Registered User regular
    Hmm it is a little high. Let's say it's 27 then. Still hard, but not impossible for Estir and Big Iron.

    That's some heavy rocks falling, it actually did more dmg than the dragon itself.
    Now I get it! Our final boss will be the Dragonhalls!

    Big Iron is trained in Dungeoneering but still need a 20 to beat DC31 D:

    Again, fail at statblock reading. Evanche was adjacent to me while I cast greater magic weapon. the +4 bonus to att and dmg applies to her too.

    Kothargix is trained too, and I'd need a 22!

    If the minor action is available anyway, why not try for a natural 20? :)

    Oh, and suck it Dragon.

    Sorry for kinda jumping in there, but I'm heading to bed and didn't want to hold people up! But, block intitiative and all that.

    Let me Guardian's Counter that OA, don't waste you reactives yet.

    Also, shouldn't Bitterstrike have taken 7 more fire when she started her turn adjacent to the Estir?

    What's your Guardian's Counter do? I'll happily defer to the defender in this case.

    It lets me exchange places with you and take the hit. I get to make a melee basic against the attacker, but we already know it won't hit since I pre-rolled it. It does let me take the swing though.

    Oh right the theme power, yea it's nice. I wanted to move this round too and I looked around and saw difficult terrain everywhere and just sighed.

    Ugh...difficult terrain. I was thinking the power slid the targets, but I just checked to make sure and it allows them to shift.
    Trigger: An ally within 2 squares of you is hit by an attack and you are not included in the attack.

    Effect: You and the ally shift up to 2 squares as a free action, swapping positions. You become the target of the triggering attack, in place of the ally. After the attack is resolved, you can make a basic attack against the attacker.

    It does say "up to" though so it should still trigger. Amon'kul will become the target and get a melee basic, but they don't get to switch places.

  • GrogGrog My sword is only steel in a useful shape.Registered User regular
    Unfortunately you can't use guardian's counter (it still specifies swapping positions) but it'll still trigger your combat challenge, since she's adjacent.

  • KayKay What we need... Is a little bit of PANIC.Registered User regular
    Evanche shifts to H7, Amon to G7. They're not switching positions, though. Is that something that needs to be done for the power to work?

    Is that cold damage after resistances?

    If so, hooray I'm bloodied.

    Got it. Swinging now, unless you want me to use the Opportunity Attack roll from last turn in it's place, which is a miss and we can just keep things moving along.

  • KayKay What we need... Is a little bit of PANIC.Registered User regular
    21 cold damage on a miss? D:

    Or is that 11 and resistances were forgotten? I need some resistances on Alénthian. Resistances are boss.

    Nah roll em, your mba's have different modifiers anyway.

    I feel like I'm playing a bard or a warlord, taunting and encouraging.
    HP reaching critical, watch out for bloodied breath.

    Class/Powers Question:

    My Dragon Soul class power gives me resistance to Lightning, my 11th level paragon path power Breath of the Dragon does whatever damage type my resitance would be: Lightning. Fine and dandy.

    However, I have used another power Elemental Shift (and likely will for this whole game) to change the resitance of my Dragon Soul from Lightning to whatever other damage type I want for the rest of the encounter. In this case Cold damage.

    Does that mean my Breath of the Dragon power now does Cold damage for the rest of this encounter? I wouldn't think so, but I figured I'd ask anyway.

  • GrogGrog My sword is only steel in a useful shape.Registered User regular
    Hmm. Having read the powers, I'd say it does change the damage type to cold. But bear in mind that you ignore resistance up to whatever your Dragon Soul resistance is, and since it's now Resist Cold you ignore 15 points of cold resistance.

  • SteelhawkSteelhawk Registered User regular
    I know! Thats why its awesome. Whatever flavour of dragon we meet, Kothargix can adapt his resistance to it. The power seems tailor made to just this situation. Yay!

    Sadly however, it also makes my Paragon power much, much less effective against that same flavour of dragon.

    Oh well.

  • GrogGrog My sword is only steel in a useful shape.Registered User regular
    But that's what I'm saying, even though you're doing cold damage against Bitterstrike you'll be ignoring her cold resistance. No less effective than any other damage you could do.

  • SteelhawkSteelhawk Registered User regular
    Gah! You're right! I ignore her resistance up to 15 points! I missed that in my reading of the class feature, and then misread your post to my initial question! Nevermind then, all of the awesome is back where its supposed to be!

  • KayKay What we need... Is a little bit of PANIC.Registered User regular
    So, who gets the flaming weapon buff? I'm on my phone, so switching between the map and statblock is troublesome.

    Also, that little kobold is going to chew dragons up good.

    That's the plan!

    I'm trying to fit working in my 20th level character and my wish list in between working and screwing the pooch at work. Unfortunately, work is winnng. But I haven't forgotten!

    Ah crap, I was thinking that anyone who's attacking within 2 squares gains the bonus.
    It the wording kinda sounds like that.

    Flaming weapons are useless for me on account of the fact that I use implements :(

    That bonus applies to fire attack too.
    You can light a candle with spell right?

  • AegisAegis Fear My Dance Overshot Toronto, Landed in OttawaRegistered User regular
    I already cast my only fire attack and it doesn't roll damage :(

    Reading it again, I think you're right.

    I think I get more fire attacks as I level up, I can't remember (note to self: post that level 20 sheet Grog asked for).

    My theme power gives me 2 fire attacks an encounter, though they're mostly filler stuff and I haven't been bloodied to let me use it a second time yet.
