Yeah

Currently Olo's turn, then Phoenix, then CLaudius

[Master_Rahl22]

Just curious, is there any chance at all that I will need to participate in this again? I've been checking just to see if Claudius manages to pull it off, but if there's no shot I'll need to play again then I'll just check back occasionally.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

To be honest, since you are knocked out from ability damage, which recovers in 1 pt/ day, unless Claudius pulls off a heal or restoration or similar, you're gone for the fight. However, if you are revived, or required to participate, I'll send you a PM.

[Claudius Maximus]

Yeah... don't hold your breath on that healing. Nor for me winning, either.

I've been wondering for a while whether or not I can detect Rahl with my mindsight, him being unconscious and all.

[Olo Demonsbane]

Sorry all, I haven't had internet access in ~4 days.

Sharnian

Can I have LoS? And does anything happen during my turn, such as my arrows being dispelled?

[lvl 1 sharnian]

Olo

Spoiler

You see nothing, but your friend Phoenix at K24, 20ft up, and the unconcious Rahl at K25.

[Olo Demonsbane]

Sharnain

Spoiler

Etan manifests an Overchanneled Astral Construct (aug 15). Its special abilities are Improved Flight and Extra Attack.
It appears 20ft in front of me, 20ft up.

I plan to use an immediate interrupt if Claudius gets within my senses. Just a heads up.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

LoS for Olo's Turn

Olo

Do you mean in K12xL13, 20ft up?

Phoenix

Spoiler

Show

You see a large ectoplasmic creature come into existence in K12xL13, 20ft up

Claudius

Spoiler

You see part of a large ectoplasmic creature at K13-L13. You can't detect it with mindsight

[Olo Demonsbane]

Sharnian

Correct.

End Turn, in case I didnt make that clear (sorry).

[PhoenixRivers]

Current status of the turn?

[Olo Demonsbane]

I just ended mine.

[PhoenixRivers]

In that case, I'll need LOS for mine.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

LoS is in my previous post

[PhoenixRivers]

My Turn:

Spoiler

Show

My turn was spent last round on Anticipatory Strike. This is a placeholder to indicate this is the turn expended for the effect. Anticipatory Strike has no effect on my future initiative actions.

As we have now passed the expended turn, I am allowed to use Anticipatory Strike again.

My turn is complete. LOS has not changed. No external effects were generated. Play proceeds to the next player. Claudius, I believe.

[Claudius Maximus]

Sharnian:

Spoiler

Show

I don't have LoS to L13 or K13. I don't think I can see the construct.

Actions:

Spoiler

Show

I cast Confusion at Phoenix again. The DC this time is a mere 25, or 26 if he would be flat-footed (I assume he would since I am invisible to him). If he does nothing special that would change my actions, I then cast Quickened Dispel Magic in such a way that it hits Phoenix but not Rahl, by targeting the intersection K-L//20-21. This is an area dispel, so only the first effect dispelled is affected. Start with the highest CL/ML effect and go in descending order.

Dispel check 1 - (1d20+10)[28]
Dispel check 2 - (1d20+10)[12]
Dispel check 3 - (1d20+10)[17]
Dispel check 4 - (1d20+10)[24]
Dispel check 5 - (1d20+10)[13]
Dispel check 6 - (1d20+10)[18]
Dispel check 7 - (1d20+10)[20]
Dispel check 8 - (1d20+10)[17]
Dispel check 9 - (1d20+10)[28]
Dispel check 10 - (1d20+10)[14]
I'll roll more if necessary.

Then, I 5-step to B16.

When this is resolved, I'll end turn.

Sorry, I looked through and thought I saw you at A11

Dispels: Unless I misunderstood, aren't most spells cast at the same ML/CL? If so, what happens in the case of spells that are the same CL?

Phoenix

Spoiler

Show

Make a Will Save

[Claudius Maximus]

Sharnian:

Spoiler

Show

Yeah, most of them should be the same, especially if he's a manifester. I guess have him create a list? And apply my first roll to his fist spell and so on. You could also make a random order. RAW doesn't have a precedent AFAIK.

Also, I should really have made the dispel first. I don't know what the hell I was thinking risking exposing my own Confusion to my own Dispel Magic.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

Claudius

Spoiler

Show

Yeah, plus might have been able to strip away a saving throw buff or something to make more affected by Confusion.

what's your CL if he doesn't make the save

Phoenix

Spoiler

Show

Also, you are hit by a dispel magic, I need a list of your Spell Effects active on you and your CL for each

[Claudius Maximus]

Sharnian:

Spoiler

Show

My CL is 14 for both the dispel and the confusion spell. I need to roll an 11 to dispel it (I obviously don't opt to auto-succeed).

[Olo Demonsbane]

Remember, if I sense anything hostile, I am going to immediate action interrupt.

Ok, but do you mean an enemy or fighting or enemy spellcasting? How about an ally acting strange or afflicted with something, remember, you are allowed to talk with your partner about stuff, 30 words per round

An enemy

[PhoenixRivers]

@Sharnian/Refs:

Spoiler

Need more information.

Will save: Mind affecting? This matters, as some of my powers handle mind-affecting abilities differently than others.

Will save: Does the effect extend into the ethereal plane (abjuration/force/positive/negative/transdimensional/ghost touch)? If not, I am entitled to a 50% miss chance, per blink.

The dispel will need to be resolved after the will save, as I have an immediate action to take, depending on the results of the will save (provided I pass the save or are unaffected by it, I intend to manifest anticipatory strike).

If the dispel hits after that, I'll provide a buff list, with caster level dependent on whether or not the power came from me or my schism, as well as whether or not I overchanneled the power, according to the original post where the ability was activated.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

Phoenix

Spoiler

Yes, mind-affecting compulsion will save, and it doesn't affect the ethereal, I don't think (pretty sure enchantments don't affect ethereal) anyways:
Miss chance (1d2)[1] 1 means you're unaffected, 2 means roll will saveYour unaffected so you can take your immediate action now

[PhoenixRivers]

@Sharnian:

Manifest Anticipatory strike. Get a full turn.

Move from K24 to K18.
If no LOS:

continue to K12.
Schism manifest Synchronicity, augmented.

If LOS:

Spoiler

Show

Schism: Silent Still True Strike
Cast: Ray of Dizziness

Ranged Touch Attack: (1d20+29)[32], ignoring all concealment based miss chances (per true strike)
If hit, target is Slowed, no save, for 13 rounds.

Relevant information:

Spoiler

Show

Touchsight, 90 feet. If LOE can be traced, I automatically detect, no spot/listen roll needed. This functions like blindsight, but is not blindsight (bypasses protections such as Darkstalker). This is a telekinetic effect, and not a divination effect, and so bypasses protections from divinations. It ignores invisibility, darkness, and concealment.

Spellcaster's Bane: If any spell is cast with LoE to me, I automatically detect it. No roll is required.

Greater invisibility: Bypassed by See invisibility, True Seeing, and nonvisual detection (scent/tremorsense/blindsense/blindsight/touchsight/mindsight/lifesense/etc).

Note that all of the above except blindsight and touchsight still grant me total concealment (50% miss chance).

@Sharnian:

I've been aimed at a couple times with splash effects, which I can only assume are spells/powers, cast from a square that I don't have LoE to.

I've moved in a manner that provides LOE to almost any square that this could be done from. (L24-L18, and every square between)

I have Touchsight at a positively stupid reach.

I'm blinking, and spend equal time ethereal and non, so my touchsight extends even through ethereal/transdimensional spell shenanigans.

Touchsight defeats most anti-divination effects, as it's not divination (clairsentience), but an actual detection mode granted (psychometabolism).

I don't see how this is correct, but if he's avoiding my touchsight through a special ability, I'd like for you to review the exact text of that ability, not a paraphrase, to determine if it protects against all detection methods, or just divination effects, or the like. Because Touchsight isn't even in the ballpark as divination.

Otherwise, if LoE exists at L24, L18, or any square between, I should autodetect.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

Phoenix

Spoiler

Show

I'm not sure I'm supposed to say this, but during his previous turn, he moved away and broke LoE so he's still not detectable by your powers

[PhoenixRivers]

@Sharnian:

Spoiler

Show

The immediate action is intended to be immediately after the Will save. Before the dispel, and before anything else.

Since the immediate action is based on observable data (spell effect), if he moved after that will save, then it should be after my immediate action. In effect, my immediate action is interrupting his turn.

In other words, my turn occurs during his, between the will save and the dispel effect. If the movement occurred before the will save, then everything is right, and that ability just has one hell of a burst area or is a spread effect that can go around corners.

If he moved after the will save, then my turn should happen before any movement, per immediate actions.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

Right, my bad, movement was after dispel... go ahead and take your action, but first

LoS:
Roll Spot and Listen
Resolving touchsight, but AFAIK, only blocking LoE stops it

Do you have anything to block Touchsight? If so, roll Hide and Move Silently
