    I'm just gonna take care of this shambler real quick. You guys focus on the other one. No biggie.

    If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten in your presence.

    You could pop the bonus from that card the merchant guy dealt you (unless you've used it already, I'm not sure), that'd turn it into a hit.

    Of course, we'll probably get wiped out regardless. :P

    I forgot about that card

    OK I want to use the card. Is it a once only item?

    You drew the Keep card.

    You gain one of these bonuses (but it is indeed once off):

    Option 1: If used before a roll is made, this card grants you a +8 luck bonus on any one d20 roll. If used after a roll is made, this bonus is reduced to +4. You can also use this card to grant a bonus to another character, as long as you are in the same location and your character can reasonably affect the outcome of the roll (such as by distracting a monster, shouting words of encouragement, or otherwise aiding another with the check). (Since you already rolled, you only get the +4 bonus)

    -or-

    Option 2: For one offensive power, your attack is treated as though it has the Radiant keyword, and deals radiant damage respectively to that power's damage type. This can only be used before an attack roll is made.

  • DaMoonRulzDaMoonRulz Mare ImbriumRegistered User regular
    Yeah I went back and re-read the card, I just didn't look to see how often it could be used. Hate to burn it now, but I'm not sure I could afford not to.

    DM: Bwhahaha, foolish adventurers! Now I will crush you with one die roll!

    *Rolls dice*

    Watch as your hopes and dreams come crumbling... what?

    *Looks at dice*

    (Vader voice) NOOOOOOOOOOO!

    *End sinister voice mode*

    And such a close roll too. Had the Thundering Armor of Kledge be power bonus instead of shield bonus, Valagard's Shield would have overwritten it (since it was a power bonus based buff), thus allowing me to use Airyc like a scratching post.

    Looks like the tides are (hopefully) turning...

    Would Airyc rather have the damage bonus from Duelist's Assault, or should I try for a +3 power bonus to melee attack rolls for him via Righteous Brand? (Of course that'd require a hit, which isn't terribly likely thanks to this thing's obscene AC.)

  • DaMoonRulzDaMoonRulz Mare ImbriumRegistered User regular
    They can stack, right?

    I don' tknow if any of you guys have tried out DNDNext, you can get a packet about it from the wizards website, but I'm really not a fan of it myself.

    Not in practice, because Valagard needs to hit the skeleton in melee to provide the Righteous Brand bonus, which means Airyc wouldn't qualify for Duelist's Assault any longer.

  • TiamatZTiamatZ Ghost puns The Banette of my existenceRegistered User regular

    Nope. Both are power bonus buffs, and the Handbook states that:
    Bonuses: There’s one important rule for bonuses: Don’t add together bonuses of the same type to the same roll or score. If you have two bonuses of the same type that apply to the same roll or score, use the higher bonus.

  • DaMoonRulzDaMoonRulz Mare ImbriumRegistered User regular
    But they'd be added to different rolls/scores

    Herpa Derpa, my bad. Just saw that Duelist Stance gives a bonus to DAMAGE rolls, while righteous give a bonus to ATTACK rolls.

    So yeah, they stack :P

    Though thinking about it now, wouldn't you LOSE the damage bonus when Valagard ends up adjacent to it, cause she needs to hit in melee?

    Edit: what MMag just said. So I guess they won't stack.

    DM casts BAD NEWS on Airyc.

    It's SUPER EFFECTIVE!

    So which will it be? If you want the attack bonus and Valagard drops below 0 hit points afterwards because the skeleton doesn't die quickly enough it'll be your fault. :P

  • DaMoonRulzDaMoonRulz Mare ImbriumRegistered User regular
    I say do whatever has the higher chance of YOU hitting

    How intelligent do these things seem? Here's my plan. I swing at it, then move away trying to provoke an opportunity attack. If it takes the attack, Drell gets a free swing at it. Has he used his second wind already?

    He's kinda dying at the moment (what with the 0 HP going on there, unless someone healed him when I wasn't looking), so he's using his Unnatural Vitality racial feat (basically he can choose to be dazed instead of unconscious) to keep on fightin'! If that's the case he cannot do OAs on anything.

    Yep, I'm not the best defender when I'm dead. I'll wait on Kledge to take a shot, then I'll whap him. Hopefully Airyc can then finish him off.

    Must be a bug. I posted a Bug report in the forum. Hopefully it'll get fixed.

    Edit: Also, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with this issue.

    Just in case my post gets sucked away here are my rolls. Can Airyc do 18 damage on his turn? No pressure!
    Standard: Cleave vs AC: 1d20+11+1 = 26
    Damage: 1d10+8+2 = 17 and it's marked blah blah.

    Death save: 1d20 7 Blargh!

    I can't see that post either. Do you know what that means? These have all been ghost posts.

    We're dead already.

    Hopefully the mods will figure out whats wrong.

    I'd hate to remake a thread just cause a few posts are gone/missing.

    Edit: That leaves Cranea for the finishing blow.

    Edit2: beaten by MMag.
