Good luck, no purchases, reserve reactionary, etc...


Initiative: [roll0]

[Lubirio]

No purchases, [roll0]

Dumb fighter #1 - Round 1

I'm guessing I'm the blue one, since fyrin mull is the red one?

Anyway, I start in N25, manifest biofeedback ([roll1]), then open the door in N24, making a 5ft step to N24 following it.

Fyrin, round 1



Starting in M2 with shield readied and spear in shield hand, Fyrin will open the door with a move action, take a 5 foot step to M3 then readies an action to cast a sudden empowered maximized Magic Missile if LoS is established.



Done. LoS?

[Ganurath]

LoS is established with when Fyrin opens the door, thanks to both combatants being tall enough to see over the altar. Dumb Fighter is in N24, and Fyrin is in M2. Be kind and rewind, gigz.

[gigz]

Ah, in that case Fyrin will unleash a Sudden Empowered and Maximized Magic Missile for [roll0] damage from where he stands in M2.

[Sallera]

Erm, actually, due to the fact that a combatant's listed height is fairly irrelevant, the altar does block LoS. Both combatants are Medium, and thus LoS is determined as if each takes up the standard 5x5x5 cube. Precedent on this issue should be fairly easy to find from previous Bloody Altar rounds.

Unfortunately, I believe we'll now have to rewind to the beginning of the match.

[Lubirio]

Allright then:

Dumb Fihgter #1 - Round 1 rewind!

Start in M25, open the door, 5ft step to N25, then manifest biofeedback, ([roll0]). :smallwink:

[Tanaric]

Just chiming in on this. While humans might average 6 feet tall in D&D, and other "medium" races average even taller, they still take up a 5x5 cube. This means that you don't have to crouch to stay behind 5-ft tall cover, but also means you can't see over it, as was assumed here (quite logically, mind you, but logic never really applies in the arena).

For the purposes of LoS checks, a Neraph is as tall as a Kobold.

[gigz]

Fyrin, round 1 redux



Starting in M2 with shield readied and spear in shield hand, Fyrin will open the door with a move action, take a 5 foot step to M3 then readies an action to cast a sudden empowered maximized Magic Missile if LoS is established.

Dumb Fighter #1 - Round 3

Move 1 to S11, will revise if LoS gained somewhere in there. (very likely)

Waiting on LoS, not done.

[Sallera]

LoS established as Dumb Fighter steps into Q15, triggering Fyrin Mull's readied action from P4.

[gigz]

Fyrin's Magic Missile flies!

[roll0]

[Lubirio]

Immediate action: negate 10 damage using 2PP, then move behind the wall out of LoS.
Finish movement in the planned S11, then ready an action to move of LoS is established.

[Sallera]

Damage negation is 4/pp, yes? That should only negate 8.

[Lubirio]

isn't it 5/pp? and if it's 4 I use 3 power points to negate 12...

[gigz]

Quick question, wouldn't 2 magic missiles be considered multiple sources? Meaning you could only spend the action to reduce one?

[Lubirio]

Now that you mention it, it would be 2 sources, so My DR works on both separately, and it doesn't matter if it's from different sources for resilience, it just says:
When an elan takes damage, she can spend power points to reduce its severity. So I 'd only spend 2 points, reducing damage taken to a mere 3 damage (15 - 8(PP) - 4(DR) = 3). :smallbiggrin:

[gigz]

Except it takes a swift action to reduce, meaning you could only reduce one unless you gave up another action to do it.

From the SRD

"Resilience (Su): When an elan takes damage, she can spend power points to reduce its severity. As an immediate action, she can reduce the damage she is about to take by 2 hit points for every 1 power point she spends."

[Sallera]

Your DR doesn't work at all on a magic missile. And it does actually matter, since it takes an immediate action to negate the damage, so you can't do it twice. Unless another High Ref says otherwise, I believe Fyrin's right, and you can only affect 1 of them.

[Lubirio]

Is it then split up evenly or randomly?

(if evenly 7 and 8, I'll spend 2 PP to reduce the 8 to 0, and take 7 damage)
(if randomly, please find out a way to figure it out)

[Sallera]

It would be split evenly. Right, Warmage...

[gigz]

Not quite evenly, actually. The +3 from my Warmage Edge only applies to one bolt. So one bolt would be 6 damage and one would be 9.

[Lubirio]

so I spend 2 PP to reduce the 9 to 1 and take the full of 6, but why wouldn't DR apply?

[Sallera]

DR doesn't apply to spell damage, except in a few specific cases.

[Lubirio]

(Gigz, you can take your turn now...)

Why not though, that practically means DR 2/- is 2/magic, no?

[Sallera]

No; DR2/magic is bypassed by an enchanted weapon, whereas DR2/- isn't.

[Lubirio]

Right, so to recap:
At the end of my round 3 turn, I've taken 7 damage, used 2 PP to negate the other 8 damage, and we have no LoS, your turn gigz.

[gigz]

Fyrin Mull, Round 2


Fyrin will 5ft step to Q5, then ready an action to fire off another magic missile if LoS is established.


Done. LoS?

Stats:

HP 9, AC 17 (t12, ff15)
F+2/R+2/W+2
Spells remaining 5/4 3

[Sallera]

Fyrin:No LoS.

Dumb:No LoS.

[Lubirio]

Refs:
Do the trees give cover/concealment at all?

[Sallera]

Dumb:As it says on the map itself, the trees grant concealment if you have climbed one. They would grant cover the same way as any other obstacle.

[Lubirio]

Refs:
In that case:

Dumb Fighter #1 - Round 4

I come around the wall on the west side and end movement in Q6

LoS please?

[Sallera]

Dumb:You can't end movement on the tree.

[Lubirio]

Refs:
Right :smallredface:, I will then move to one square south of it, I believe that's Q7.

[Sallera]

Refs:Listen for Fyrin: [roll0]

Dumb:No LoS.

Fyrin:You hear movement to the south.

[Lubirio]

I'll now finish my turn:

Dumb Fighter #1 - Round 4 part 2!

I ready an action:
I will attack adding psionic weapon if:
LoS is established and Fyrin Mull is within 5ft of Dumb Fighter #1
Fyrin Mull comes within 5ft of Dumb Fighter #1 while moving, or ends his action within 5ft of him.
Fyrin Mull comes within 5ft of Dumb Fighter #1 for any reason whatsoever and at any time in his turn
And I will move if:
LoS is established and Fyrin Mull is not within 5ft of Dumb Fighter #1
Dumb Fighter #1 pinpoints Fyrin Mull for any other reason besides LoS

That is if it's possible to ready 2 different actiona under different conditions, if it isn't, I'll just ready an action to move with all the conditions I mentioned above. :smallwink:

[gigz]

Fyrin, round 3

Fyrin moves to T5 and readies an action to blast his opponent with a Magic Missile if LoS is established.


Done. LoS?

Stats:

HP 9, AC 17 (t12, ff15)
F+2/R+2/W+2

[Sallera]

LoS is established as Fyrin moves to R5. Dumb is in Q7, and his readied action triggers.

[Lubirio]

Readied action: move to U10.

Dumb Fighter #1 - Round 5 (you round counting is off I think)

I used a move action already, so I ready an action:
Move if:
Fyrin Mull moves out of LoS.
Fyrin Mull start casting a spell.
Fyrin Mull comes within 10ft of Dumb Fighter #1.

Hold on, Fyrin gets to finish his turn then. He only used a move, so he'll fire off a Magic Missile at Dumb.

Missile 1:[roll0]
Missile 2:[roll1]

[Lubirio]

Sorry, you said "Done" so I assumed you were done with your turn, my bad...
I don't have X-ray vision to 'accidentally' see the spoilers you know. :smallwink:

I will use an Immediate Action to negate 7 of the damage from the first magic missile, using 2 PP, then take my turn, which involves rolling, so I'll post it instead of editing it in.

[Lubirio]

Dumb Fighter #1 - Round 5 for real this time...

Since you didn't trigger my readied action, I can make a full-round action:
Charge!!! (expending psionic focus to activate psionic weapon, adding 2d6 damage to the attack)
[roll0]
[roll1]+[roll2]
in case of crit:
[roll3]
[roll4]
If psionic weapon damage is also multiplied on a critical, add [roll5] damage as well.

Alright, then I'm gone to bye-bye land (soonish...), and I would've ended up in T6, your go gigz. :smalleek:

Dumb Fighter #1 - Round 6

I spend an immediate action to reduce the damage taken by 4, expending my last PP, then fall soundlessly on the floor, too near dead to function.

Done, no stats, just dying. :smallbiggrin:

[gigz]

Phew, close one there. Had you hit with that charge, I'd have been a goner. :D

[02youeng]

High Ref 02youeng

By virtue of firing Magic Missiles at the darkness [and occasionally his opponent]...

Fyrin is the winner, and collects the loot and XP


I look forward to the level 2 rematch, Fyrin, hehe.
