[lord sarthax]

There I fixed it

[Mavian]

Quick question, does that mean squeezing rules apply?

[Sallera]

Yes, it does. The rules make no mention of the space occupied having to be enclosed, just smaller than the space the creature takes up.

[Mavian]

Standard Action: Attack the horse with a shuriken
Attack: (1d20+6)[25] Range not included, should be neg -8 or so. Horses AC should be 9ish

That should make it easier on you. Especially with the general suckiness of those rolls.

[hustlertwo]

OK, I think we're awaiting confirmation from Mav that this is game.

[Mavian]

But its not game :P I'm not quite dead yet. Also, you would've had to move to attack with a lance no?

My DR reduces that damage to 2, leaving me disabled, but not dead.

[lord sarthax]

I havent seen that anywhere on the SRD.

[hustlertwo]

OK, the DR must come from one of the things I don't recognize on your sheet. Anyhow, that'd be your turn then, Mav.

[Mavian]

Its in the first line of the lance descriptive text.

A lance deals double damage when used from the back of a charging mount. It has reach, so you can strike opponents 10 feet away with it, but you can’t use it against an adjacent foe.

@Hustler
The DR comes from the Cloak of Obyrith, there's a link to it on my sheet it.

[hustlertwo]

Well, if it's a reach weapon, didn't you provoke an AoO by coming within melee range?

[Mavian]

I thought thats what his first roll was.

[hustlertwo]

I think that was a readied action. I might have missed something though.

[Bayar]

Initiate Ref Bayar

Indeed that was a readied action attack.

Is there any rules that let you dont let you to have a shield block and attack ? I mean, granting yourself total cover from soneone means that the other person also gets total cover from you...right ?

[hustlertwo]

I thought shield block was some Knight thing. That class seems to have all sorts of weird abilities.

Is this match on hold? I don't remember seeing any ref requests. If not, Mav's go. If stuff still needs to be sorted out, I'd suggest putting out the call in the Waiting Room. My not knowing about either of these character's classes or abilities sorta keeps me from making rulings as to whether Mav is disabled, or still sitting pretty in the positives because he was not attacked a second time.

[Bayar]

Disregard what I said, I suck *****.

[Lubirio]

Init Ref Lubirio

Ned's readied action was to attack yoshi if he came in range, 'in range' is 10ft for a reach weapon like a lance, the readied action goes off as yoshi enters G17, as yoshi then leaves G17 to enter F17 and attack Ned, he triggers an AoO for leaving a threatened area, which was not taken. Ned then attacked Yoshi on his turn, which was impossible without a 5ft step, which was not taken.

I'm not sure what the confusion is about, but shield block is indeed a knight class ability, and what I just said means the attack from his turn is invalid, while he gets a new attack before his turn. So we rewind to Ned's round 9 turn, after he takes the AoO.

[lord sarthax]

Ok so it's my turn? What is his status health wise and do I have both actions left? Im a bit confused.

[Bayar]

Initiate Ref Bayar

You took your readied action, but did not take your AoO.

Now it is your turn. Bear in mind, you cannot attack adjactent targets with your current weapon.

[lord sarthax]

Could I move and then still attack with my lance? I hate reach rules.

[Bayar]

Yes you can move on your turn and still attack.

[lord sarthax]
