Welcome to the Dragon's Egg RPG subforum

[SeverinR]

Finally got to catch up yesterday,
page wouldn't load, messages wouldn't load, then I start reading the posts since my last post in DE, and the power goes out.
So I gave up on trying to post.

Never underestimate the ninja wizard.

So… Baldhart saves Ghendra, Mauve saves Gisla. What next? Ankari finds religion?

If Aliron starts trusting people...be afraid, be very afraid.
Because extreme dark magic is at hand.
It would be nice to get matching good damage rolls with good to hit rolls.

Bressel is level 1, so bonuses-+3 str, +4 barbarian feat (Str) check, no level bonus. so it would be a 9. But who's counting.

I am. Don't forget to add Bressel's level, so you have 8 points of bonuses. +1+3+4.

 

[SeverinR]

A Barbarian's to-hit bonus is as follows:

Level / Bonus
1 / +0
2 / +1
3 / +2
4 / +3

Bressel is 1st level, bonus is 0.

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

That's for hitting with an attack.

You add level to checks. I can't get the PDF to show up on the quick start thread, so my example to check with SP that my understanding was correct is the best I can link you to. He did confirm that my Lv.1 barbarian would add +1+3+4.



Here's a screenshot from the PDF, which eventually uploaded:

I'm writing up the new post right now.

 

[Steerpike]

OK posted. I have to run to a meeting so I didn't have time for a map, but I think we're good without one.

 

[Ireth]

Poor Liadan. This is just not her day! I hope the Entangled demon has low enough AC that the 10 is a hit. :/

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

@SP, my understanding is that, unless Baldhart wants to try her luck rolling another natural 20, she should stay the hell off of the tendrils. If her strength can help her (now that the grabby things are no longer a surprise), I'll send her in. Otherwise, she's just watching Nissa in awe.

Also, I rolled sword damage for Nissa, but if she can't use Gisla's sword, use her kick damage instead. Either way, I scored max damage!



EDIT - Screw asking for clarification. Baldy tries to muscle through so little Nissa isn't out there on her own. If she gets tangled, well… how useful is she if she just stands where no enemies go?

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

I exceeded my image limit, but I think it's safe to assume that my honesty won't come into question with the text version of Nissa's crappy roll. Had it been a 20, I'd have made a second post.

Seeing how Nissa's kick hit with a 9, I'm guessing Baldy's punch did as well (unless the enemy was able to increase his defense by curling up).

 

[Steerpike]

Actually, a 9 wouldn't hit (nor would an 8). I was trying to get to my first meeting, and I'm off to a second one now. When I scrolled back up to see Nissa's attack, I looked at Baldy's by mistake. However, the creature died that round regardless, so it works for me if for flavor we say Nissa hit it too Of Baldy's most recent attacks, just one of them is sufficient to kill the monster, and Aliron just killed his, so it looks like the immediate threat to Arendal is entirely resolved

 

[Steerpike]

I try not to post when I'm rushed, but I've been wanting to get back to a more regular schedule and it seemed like a good opportunity! Ah, well...I'm off again. Will update to wrap things up in Arendal later today.

I guess if the 9 did hit at all, it's because the enemy was already dead.

 

[Ankari]

I'm going to try to work my character back into the story. I have a lot to catch up on.

 

[Steerpike]

You guys don't have to roll to carry and/or drag fish demon bodies to the sea. If you want to roll for RP reasons, you can, and you can RP a good roll or a bad one as you see fit. But anyone, regardless of strength, is going to be able to move these bodies. They're not much larger than average humanoid and even if you have to drag one you can assume you are able to do so. Roll are generally just needed where there is a risk of failure, and particularly if the failure has consequences (like in a battle or overcoming an obstacle). For this kind of thing, you guys can feel free to RP as you see fit.

 

[Steerpike]

OK moving ahead today. Since we dropped out of combat rounds, I wanted to give everyone a chance to catch up, but I'll be posting later today whether anyone else does or not

 

[Nihal]

I'm just waiting your PM response, but Mauve took quite a distance from the town, thus is ahead on time I guess it's fine to let some time pass.

Yeah, I'm going to send a reply at the same time I post the update in the thread. Hopefully, on my lunch break.

 

[Steerpike]

OK, heading over to post now. I didn't get time for a lunch break yesterday, and I won't today, so I'll update now before things get crazy

 

[Steerpike]

I'm back. Update coming today. Glad to see we got some more posts!
