Welcome to the Dragon's Egg RPG subforum

Bressel's first attack was not a great success. Maybe Bressel's intimidate will add to the other, one fled, one dead, maybe all together it will break morale and scar a few away?

not too scary when the intimidator stumbles in mid battlecry and misses his attack.

Not seeing a way for Aliron to attack once the melee starts. The creature(s) in the deep keep him from going into the water to come up behind the attackers.
Not safe to shoot into a crowd without clear targets.

"Here fishy,fishy, fishy." Aliron calling the one in the water.

 

[Ireth]

Hrm... Liadan's at a bit of an impasse here. She's not willing to use her bow since she hasn't been successful with it at all yet, but she can't easily join the melee on the docks, and I don't want her to just stand around and wait for the odd fish-demon to get into range of her flail. What to do? :/

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

Baldy did the same thing. Grr. Fear us. We missed.

 

[SeverinR]

Clumsy barbarian scream and yawning battlecry probably isn't too intimidating.

3 fishes vs Hall, Baltos, Bressel and Baldhart. We might not all fit, even more with a great wolf, great ax and a great sword flying.

edited Bressel's macro, so the attack result doesn't look like the damage roll.

"...7 damage=1d12+3"


Bressel was happy to wait for the fishies, but Baltos and Hall went down, so kind of had to go too.
Was thinking of a leaping attack, but on stairs, with multiple enemies, just pictured the fish deverting him over the rail and into the water. So a simple charge was all he did.

@Ireth, are you sure a 17 is a miss? I would roll damage for that shot. I think your first arrow missed because Liadan couldn't see what she was aiming at. If she misses now, that may be the reason, but not the roll of 17. (Unless the caster is using the spell that shields arrows and corrupts Mauves.)

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

@Severin, I was sneaking in a post at work, so it didn't hit me until later that the battle started, forcing Bressel's hand. As long as it's not a barbarian that screwed up the fight. That would be a humiliation for the Iron Mountain. Now the only humilations are Badly exposing herself and two barbarians stumbing down the stairs.

Maybe the indimidate works because the fish think we'll fall down on them.


(PS - I can't always edit posts at work. I hate that.)

Well, DEX isn't a prime for Liadan (because I wasn't thinking when I made her stats, apparently), so yes, I'm pretty sure 17 is a miss. Guess I could roll damage anyway, just in case...

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

Prime/non only affects checks. For shooting arrows, a 17 is a 17. Even Baldhart hits with a 17 (though her goddess would be displeased).

 

[Ireth]

If prime/non-prime doesn't affect attacks, then what constitutes a miss vs. a hit?

 

[SeverinR]

I tried looking it up, what is base for hitting?
Can't find it.
no armor/bonus=12?
I think the sea monster was our toughest hit.
Current battle:
Aliron hit with a 16.

 

[Keitsumah]

ack ima need to check batos's health now.

(stupid cocky wolf! you better not die)

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

AC does.

Base AC is a 10.

Naked Baldhart has 8 AC. (Base -2 DEX) Now that she finally put something on, her AC is 13.

So, if an enemy gets a 14 to-hit, Baldhart takes damage.



PS- Charging is bad if you miss. If SP says we can't charge on stairs, that's a blessing. -4 AC is the penalty for a charge, meaning if the charge was legal, it only takes a 10 to hit Baldhart! (12 to hit Bressel, since he has the same armor but no DEX penalty.)

We rolled three 15s against the six-legger, and one of those would have been 14 damage! Yeah... that beast was tought. Let's hope the town doesn't hate us--I want that beast hide!

 

[SeverinR]

Yeah, that would be a bit much as well. The problem only arises if all players aren't doing it. I've run some games where every player is maxing themselves by choosing a god instead of choosing one for RP reasons. If they all do it, I just bump the monsters up a notch to compensate for it. But if you have one or two doing it and the rest not, that creates problems in that the monsters are over-powered for regular PCs.

I know I have many bonuses, but I picked my god, the god of darkness, boon was nice. I do try to rp Aliron's religious belief.
The true great boon would have been Uller +2 bow all the time.
His dex and this boon have strengthen him well. But I didn't stack them to make him an immortal bowman. dex(3)+boon(2)+level(1)+elf(1)+magic bow(1) It just has worked out that way.

 

[Ireth]

Well, I'm pretty sure that one lizard is dead now. XDD What is that, 16 damage from those three hits all at once?

 

[Nihal]

Prime/non only affects checks. For shooting arrows, a 17 is a 17. Even Baldhart hits with a 17 (though her goddess would be displeased).

I think prime attributes also affect spellcasting checks.

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

Yeah… I think spell casting is considered a check where hitting is not.

That means (religion aside) Baldhart is better off throwing a rock (DEX to hit) than a grappling hook (DEX check), but she's better off throwing a person (STR check) off a cliff than swinging a sword (STR to hit).

And she would've thrown someone off a cliff if not for the suicidal dog! Well… considering her first roll, maybe she would've been thrown off the cliff herself.

 

[senseiseth]

So within what, two rounds, the attack force went from 6 lizards to 1...*claps hands* wonderfully attack guys, just dandy.

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

Wait for the GM post. I'm not sure how many deaths. I think the first to die fell after 7 HP damage, so maybe the minions are d6 baddies? Note: even if we figure out the enemy (stats) in one battle, they may be different in a later battle. The caster was a surprise.

Not as surprising as crappy barbarian rolls. Great job, rest of the team!

Thanks, it's been great slaying creatures of the sea! This is fun!
