Okay, PEP TALK! We're fighting an angry caster 7 levels higher than us. It is at approx. 75% health and at full spell capacity. Our first bruiser (The Construct) is at 66% health. We will have to hit fast and hard and have joseph focus on keeping us at a firmer consitancy than strawberry jelly. It wonj't be easy.

Not all encounters have to be won with force of arms/spells ;)

We need to make sure our opponent doesn't have time to buff. With one or two spells he can probably get his AC high enough we can't hit (or can't hit in often enough to posses a threat) (it can reach AC 29 / 31 vs. the good, using 2 spells, none above 2nd level).
On the plus side it only outsmarts most of us, and it's innate magic circle against good only affects four of us (me, rad, solara, and Venn).
However, we outnumber it almost 20 to 1, with almost half our side listed as expendable (non-critical Npc's, my summoned blob of ectoplasm).

This encounter is with a lying unicorn rapist.

Oh? I have two words: Shivering Touch.
18 Dex, example spells prepared has both lesser and normal restoration, and you need spectral hand to deliver it safely. It can reach 18 touch AC with relative ease, which will cause problems for your +5 to hit it. Also, it has spellcraft, which will paint you a an important target. And on average it will drop you to about -2 hp in the first turn of attacks. And it has SR 20 (you have CL 5). Don't get too smug. To quote avatar "Don't shoot you'll piss him off!"

But it's not the tool's fault if you use it for something else and you fail utterly, such as trying to eat cereal with a butterknife, pounding nails with a screwdriver, blogging to voice your political opinions, and brushing your teeth with a hammer.

Jojo, you really need to learn to take a joke. About 90% of what I say is in jest. I'm well aware about how powerful our opponent is. I was implying that while some encounters can not be ended by spells, most can.

Also, if we need to distract him from buffing himself, then it's probably BEST to use shivering touch so he has to waste a turn using restoration, unless he want's his AC lowered by around 4 points (average roll for 3d6). Most of what I have is a touch attack, so I'm just going to have to hope it stays at the listed (if it's close to SRD example, anyways) 13 touch AC long enough for me to hit it with one debuff.

If we can get his AC down I can give Blinding Spittle an attempt, it is something of a wild card when you fight something that do not rely on armour for his AC. Still, if we manage to blind him we've gained quite a large upper hand

This encounter is with a lying unicorn rapist.


Remember, he wasn't lying 'entirely'.  You sensed a grey area somewhere.  It's possible they were both telling the truth.   He might need to do this in order to live.  But that's not saying he didn't sometimes do it for giggles before...

Point is, enemies are easier to deal with when they are 'helpless'

Unfortunately, Jojo's the only one who knows the Unicorn said any of that, or that was partially lying/telling the truth.

All the rest of us know is that our ally's fighting a unicorn, who we have been lead to believe are all rapists in this world.

Well, of course. But what's important is what our ally is fighting against. I'm just highlighting what perceptions would be.

You can go back many years and there was a guy named Donny Osmond who probably every male teenager wanted to kick the crap out of. Leif Garrett, David Cassidy, The Mmm Bop kids, Justin timberlake, on and on.

This Bieber kid is just another of many over-hyped kids created? by the music machine geniuses to give them someone to grace the covers of 16 magazine and to get little teen girls excited. Random Youtuber [/spoiler]

Unless we polymorph the unicorn into a humanoid, it'd have to be hold monster... neither of which I have access to at this level.

Maybe if Captain Incorpreal McFails-at-scouting hadn't immediately opened fire. It's hard to negotiate after attacking. Just saying.

Except he was telling a partial truth, too, so it may have been good to investigate what part of what it said was a lie. >_>

I've been pretty good at not reading the spoilers with a name tag, just so that I can keep myself from unintentional metagaming. But I had to go back and read about what happened to jojo, my conclusion? This is one fucked up situation
