Well, in either case there is my roll on the subject.
Deep in the tomb of indelible gloom, an angel waits to die.
High on the peak, where only fools seek, a dragon tried to get high.
To which one we go, well f*ck if I know, the point is to question why.

Having a maximum range of 50 squares is awesome. :D

Also,



Sorry, couldn't resist.

EDIT: Good idea, Tallan. Would someone else mind Aiding Another on Chaedi's Perception? Witht he +2 from Minharath it's a 29, so I only need one more successful Aid Another to meet the DC.

I don't know how large the ship is ... but don't forget I grant a +4 bonus to Initiative.

This is why it helps to just add the +4 as a permanent bonus on your sheet like I did. :D

If you can squeeze out a Standard Action to use it as its approaching (which I assume is easily feasible), then yes.

Hmm, so are these living spells, or something of the like? Will there be any way to identify them post-combat, through research if necessary? Just wondering. :)

Also, Risada, don't forget about dismissing the Armor bonus in order to get those THP. They'll likely do you more good than just a +1 to AC, plus you can assign an equal amount of THP to another party member, the specific one being your choice. Assigning the bonus to Chaedi might help cushion the blows of the returned arrows, though. Alternatively, feel free to keep the AC bonus and dismiss it later in the combat, though it may not be as wise.

Does anyone in particular feel they have a poor AC or Reflex Save (or both)? I might as well use Dancing Shield on my next action, so whoever is the most vulnerable, or at least most likely to be attacked, should receive the bonuses. I can always change the target during the battle if the need arises.

I'm aware of that... just gonna get close to Chaedi and use on her...

The range on Gideon's Drow Long Knife is 5/10, so he'd have to wait unil they're within 10 squares before using Greater Magic Weapon, no? As far as I can tell, that's still two rounds away, or are we handling this 'pre-combat' abstractly?
In any case, I want to make the most of the +5 to hit/damage, so after he uses the GMW, can I persuade someone who's between him and Chaedi in the Init order to use an area or ranged attack so Chaedi can use her Combined Fire and hopefully follow up with an AP turn? Minharath is exclusively ranged anyway as far as I can tell, so that shouldn't be a problem. :)

I'm going to try to use area as much as I can, then a blast if they get really close, Mind Blast. That's the fun one and my last daily, so I'm going to make it count.

@Agita:  Don't forget that all your attacks this round will get the same bonus to attack and damage, not just the first one. Any attacks until the end of my next turn from anyone adjacent to me. So if you want to use your AP on an attack, now would be the best time I think. :D

Just want to make sure it's clear. No thanks are necessary, just doing my job.  ;)

Yes, I'm aware and was planning to do so. :D

I'm a bit confused about when things are happening. Min really can't do much attack wise until they get to range 20. Where are we at right now, and is there something I should be doing. I know I've been the one holding us back before, I just want to make sure I don't do it again.
