Or summon a pseudonatural "kill 'em all".

Please PM me before posting actions in the future.  Its Thanksgiving holiday in the states, and I receive PMs via email which I check regularly even if I don't check this board as often.

 


In the future please check the board more often. Its been your turn since Nov. 14th. Mixster pointed out that it was your turn on the 18th. And everyone else has complained about the delay.

[jameswilliamogle]

Could've PM'd me on the 15th, too.  Nobody posted an initiative order, and I don't read "hidden text" as its obviously not meant for me, and nobody said "turn over" or anything, so how in the world would I have any idea that its my turn?  In 3 months there's been only 2 pages of in-game text so please don't give me that crap about everyone waiting on me.

[jolt]

Let's all keep it easy and enjoy this game a little more. If we all get involved in the IC thread abit more, things will go alot smoother. So I suggest James reposts his action so Mixster can go on with the wolves.

[jameswilliamogle]

No, let him keep whatever he posted.  Its fine.  Wolf's turn.

I'll avoid posting further on this subject since we are are moving on. But look.

[Mixster]

Yeah I'm sorry about the turn order, for future reference I'll post it here.

Well here you go, I'll quote it to here as well:

Turn Order:
Jolt 60
Head of Vecna 22
JamesWilliamOgle 20
Wolf Group 1 - 20
Wolf Group 2 - 19
Dictum Mortuum - 16

[Mixster]

Dictum > It seems you forgot to add the magebane damage. It does apply to any creature with spell-like abilities? Right?

Thats after I was already moving.  It is my fault for not saying that I was moving on the 15th; I posted it in my other 5 PBP games, and forgot this one.  Probably b/c it only gets a new post every 3 days.

[Dictum Mortuum]

Dictum > It seems you forgot to add the magebane damage. It does apply to any creature with spell-like abilities? Right?

No
Only against creatures that can cast arcane spells/use invocations.

Ah right.

The sleet storm is centered on G13 for anyone wishing to calculate how far it reaches, this means it stops at N13 and G5, creating a nice rounding between them. It also goes to G21, and out of the boundaries to the western side.

About the map:

Dictum stated he took a 5-foot step to M11

And Teflar casted his blockade at N11 so it would stand in between Arrow and the Elephant.

If Dictum can only get towards N11, Teflar will cast his blockade at O11.

[jameswilliamogle]

can we drop the spoiler tags?  I don't see any point in them.  Also, where's the damned map?

[jolt]

I agree the map is hard to find.

Ok, I'll drop them

Crap I just noticed Blockade is a 0 ft range spell. Bare with me just a little longer, it's my first time playing a wizard so I'm still getting used to it.

[Mixster]

That is allright, I myself often get confused by the number of spells I have.

If you want to we can skip the Blockade? I was pretty confused why you did it anyway.

[jameswilliamogle]

So.  Power Attack.  Two Handed.  Battle Jump.  Valorous.  Leap Attack.

Whats the multiplier return on that?  Because the reasonable return to me as a DM would be x5.  But it seems like RAW its actually x8.  Is that right?  It might even be x16.

[Mixster]

Someone cast Sphere of Force on W4 earlier, so it is pretty hard to attack in close combat.

Valorous doubles the damage, right? If so: Each point of power attack gives 3 damage, your damage is tripled.

So if you deal 2d6+10 damage, and power attack for 5, you would deal, (2d6+25)*3=6d6+75 damage.

And leap attack gives you x3 instead of x2 on Power attack damage, right?

So formula for calculating your damage is: Damage=(Base Damage + 3*Power attack value)*3
That's at least the way I read it. Since damage is abstract, and the way multipliers work with abstract numbers is described to add the multipliers together and deduct one.

[jolt]

Nah leave it used. Only way people learn ...

[jameswilliamogle]

Leap Attack actually says "100%" in the errata, ie not a doubling.

2 handed is x2, Battlejump doubles for x3, Valorous doubles for x4.  Leap Attack via errata would be x8, then.  IDK.  

I don't know what sphere of force is / does.
