SPARTA Cuss - TheFallenOne
Krunk - theterran


All Combatants, please roll initiative and declare any final purchases

[TheFallenOne]

SPARTA initiative: (1d20+1)[10]

so, should I got with my money as it was at character creation?

[theterran]

Initiative - (1d20+4)[9]

Doesn't matter to me...

[TheFallenOne]

looked up Improved Familiar again, had a hunch. You need 3 BAB to get a Worg

[theterran]

really?

Is that what that BAB+3 meant? I thought it meant that the worg got a BAb of 3

Any idea of other listings of creatures to get with Improved Familiar?

[TheFallenOne]

well, there's the DMG one

the one in CW is I believe the only one with BAB requirements. THere have been improved familiars spread over a couple of books I think, maybe there is a complete list somewhere

edit: this might be a good start. Though you'd have to look up the individual books for the requirements of each

[theterran]

Sweet...thanks,

Alright, switched it up to the Medium Viper from Complete Scoundrel...

[TheFallenOne]

I'll cast a spell.

Alter Self...CL Check (d20+3)[9] DC8

[TheFallenOne]

Yeah, Warforged are awesome

well, tell me if you sprout any wings

[theterran]

I morph into a tiny white Dragon, my familiar changes into a hippogriff!

We fly from our current positions to D18/E19 for the Hippogriff and to F18 for myself, we're both 15ft in the air at that point.

End Turn.

[TheFallenOne]

share spell.... Only works as long as the familiar is within 5 feet of you, since you can't take your move actions at exactly the same instant it would end once one of you moves. No hippogriff for you

[theterran]

Whoa there...technically, I could ride the hippogriff

and it's dumb we can't move at the same time!

[TheFallenOne]

hm... interesting point. Would be a move action to mount him, and your ride modifier will be rather bad...

well, that's how it is. You share an initiative, but you can't make your move actions parallel

[theterran]

Yeah, it would be more like hanging on for dear life...a shame I don't have familiar pouch...or something like that on him...as I could probably pull that off...

I'm beginning to think the AC variant might be better for me in this situation...since you can't move at the same time...

[TheFallenOne]

might be so. As interesting as the thought of hippogriff companion is, it has some limits

so, what's your turn now?

[theterran]

To cry that my Hippogriff didn't work?

In light of this info. Would you care if I switched my feat and took the AC variant?

[TheFallenOne]

as if your character is too weak without it

well, I offer you a gamble: you can have the AC, but in light of these changes we'll have to restart(and I may need another potion if you get a Swindlespitter), including rolls already made

[theterran]

LOL...we'll just go forward...I wasn't going to get a swindle spitter...but now that you mention it...it's not a bad idea!

Honestly though, I'm looking for something that can actually deal damage...

I'll keep my position, and my stupid viper moves to H19.

Viper will move to G14.

I will fly to G14, 20ft up, taking the long route to ensue that my half distance to maintain altitude is met.

Then I cast ray of Clumsiness.
RTA - (1d20+6)[16]
DexDamage - (1d6+2)[8]

Your go.

[TheFallenOne]

oww, max roll. This is bad

though shouldn't it be 1d6+1? You're CL3 and the spell says 1d6 +1/2 CL

Swift Activate Law Devotion to attack
Switch harpoon to hand

SPARTA Cuss Giga Harpoon BREAKAAA!
(1d20+2)[16]
Damage (1d10+4)[10]

If hit reflex DC 10+damage taken or bad stuff happens

let's see that roll before I continue

[theterran]

See...I've never been able to tell if spells like that are 1d6+1 (then +1 /2 CL) or if it's 1d6 (+1 / 2CL), oh, and it misses.

[TheFallenOne]

gnah, though narrowly. What's your AC in dragon form?

And do multiple climsiness rays stack?

[theterran]

18 AC atm...(3HD dragons aren't great on the NA )
I'm not sure, looking at it, it doesn't say that it doesn't stack, just that the minimum dex you can get to is 1. Its not damage, it's categorized as a penalty, not sure if those would stack...

[TheFallenOne]

me neither

move to H9
draw harpoon as part of move
Law Devotion to AC

done

In answer to the question:

http://www.d20srd.org/srd/theBasics.htm#stacking

Stacking

In most cases, modifiers to a given check or roll stack (combine for a cumulative effect) if they come from different sources and have different types (or no type at all), but do not stack if they have the same type or come from the same source (such as the same spell cast twice in succession). If the modifiers to a particular roll do not stack, only the best bonus and worst penalty applies. Dodge bonuses and circumstance bonuses however, do stack with one another unless otherwise specified.

[TheFallenOne]

thanks

good news: it doesn't stack

bad news: he got the now best possible result out of the spell

action stands, your turn
