All Combatants, please roll initiative and declare any starting combatants.

Prior to the match start you may privately plan by spoiler or PM with your partner, but after the start any communications will need to be done in character inside the arena as rules allow.

[Ganurath]

Initiative - (1d20+3)[12]

No purchases, reserve reaction.

Shooter:

Spoiler

Show

The monk has Deflect Arrows, so you target the Artificer starting off. His AC may be higher, but you're more likely to beat 19 once than 16 twice.

[Strangie]

No purchases, reactionary reserve, blah blah blah.

Forge (Edited, make sure you read everything):

Spoiler

I'm going to try and handle that archer first. I have Deflect Arrows, and he'll have to use Rapid Shot to hit me. Get some Will save stuff for Team Player because his Will save is abysmal. Color Spray should work good. Touch attack magic would also be helpful. Also, if you can hit me with something like Shield of Faith or Mage Armor again, it would help me out a lot as I run down Shooter. You'll need to keep Team Player off my back because I intend on trying to grapple down Shooter.

I would wait until after I'm in melee range to use Enlarge Person, if you planned on using it. I don't want to be a huge target for Shooter to pelt me with, and I certainly don't need Team Player smacking me down.

[RPGAgmJAY]

I have purchases (will post later today) but a quick question first. How did Team Player score 600 gp for a 2 on 2 victory. That should only net 300 gp. Also, shooter doesn't have a purchase history on his sheet. Is this valid?

For Mac:

Yeah, forge is crafting a bunch of stuff. Check your inbox for tactics.

Good Gaming!

Scribe 2 Scrolls of Color Spray

All info now updated on Char sheet.

Reserve the right to add a couple more scrolls before we start based on a tactics conversation with Mac.

P.S. - Good character builds guys... a real challenge.

That is correct. It is very specifically stated that you can draw a weapon as part of a move action. Potions are not weapons, and thus do not qualify.

Ok, then I'll stay where I was in E-1 and draw and drink the potion.
