Swordmage vs. Caster test (theterran)
Since I offered the challenge, I'll leave the map choice up to you. If you don't have anything, I suggest we take something from the Arena thread, if you're familiar with it.

Re: Swordmage vs. Caster test (theterran)
Zero buff rounds.
Initiative: (1d20+3)[5]
Your opponent for today is a two-foot tall, yellow-and-platinum scaled kobold with leathery wings twice again as wide as he is tall. Aside from a very light set of leather armor, he doesn't seem to have any means of defending himself.
" 'ey boss, looks like I forgot to bring my weapon. Go easy, wouldja?"

Re: Swordmage vs. Caster test (theterran)
Your opponent is a black scaled kobold of similar stature...
"Don't worry, I seem to have left mine at home as well...oh wait...I can lend you one of mine...I have too many!"
Initiative - (1d20+3)[8]
As an aside, I have the Mindsight Feat, so if you come within 100ft of me...I'll know your exact location, your type (which is kobold, though I'm not sure if you're dragon or humanoid at this point), and your Int Score..

Swordsy swings an empty hand as if stabbing the air with a dagger - and suddenly a blade of force appears in his hand. It disappears an instant later, but he seems to move faster now.

Re: Swordmage vs. Caster test (theterran)
I'd bother trying to spellcraft that, except that I know exactly what it is.
Which square did you start in, by the way?

Re: Swordmage vs. Caster test (theterran)
Swordsy McMage, round 2
Swordsy disappears momentarily, reappearing in R-13 stabbing the air with a dagger of force.
He then draws a halberd of force out of the air and leaps towards Terran, attempting to skewer him.
Observers:SpoilerDragoon Leap, auto pass jump check to reach his square.
Attack: (1d20+17)[24]
Damage on hit: (1d10+16)[19] force damage.
If it hits, make a fort save or be knocked back ten feet.

Re: Swordmage vs. Caster test (theterran)
Right, attack is treated as an automatic critical, so...
Bonus damage: (2d10+32)[48] force damage.
Edit: I AM SO SMART AND I CAN TOTALLY READ ACTIVATION TIMES.
...this one is a standard, not an attack action. Disregard entirely.Last edited by Jarian; 2010-10-05 at 01:53 PM.

Figures, but I made a mistake. See above edit.
Actual action coming in a sec.

Re: Swordmage vs. Caster test (theterran)
Stepping out of his daydream of being completely broken, Swordsy instead draws a bow of light out of the air and takes aim at Terran.

Damage: (1d8+8)[11] force damage.
If it hits, make a fort save or be dazed for 1 round.

Re: Swordmage vs. Caster test (theterran)
Immediate action as you begin to cast your spell: Swordsy draws a bow of electricity and force and fires an arrow at you.
Attack: (1d20+17)[24]
Damage: (1d8+5)[11] force damage, plus (1d6)[5] electric damage.
If it hits:SpoilerDispel magic counterspell attempt: (1d20+8)[20]
And yes, I know that WoC is an immediate action casting time. Disruptive Discharge specifically allows counterspelling no matter how short a casting time the spell has.Last edited by Jarian; 2010-10-05 at 09:21 PM.

Re: Swordmage vs. Caster test (theterran)
Well, to be fair, we're supposed to be playing with pulled spell damage. Assuming you took half damage from all of the attacks so far, are you still up?

I'm just curious to know how you're attacking/casting multiple times like you are...
(edit)
And are you holding any weapons when it's not your turn? (I.E. is there some way for you to take AoOs?)Last edited by theterran; 2010-10-06 at 12:56 PM.

Re: Swordmage vs. Caster test (theterran)
Many Swordmage incantations are attack action activation, not standard. The ones closer to being on par with spells damagewise (Dragoon Leap, amongst others) take either a standard or a full-round to activate. I'm using Quickblade for an extra attack per round, resulting in a total of 3 possible incantations used per round.
Note that Swordmages function like Martial Adepts, so I can't keep doing this for long without recovering.
Swordmages threaten any spaces they could reach with a melee-range incantation they have readied but unexpended. No, I'm not holding a weapon, but for a Swordmage, that doesn't mean much.My forum avatars appear to have decomposed in my absence. C'est la vie.Homebrewer's Signature

Re: Swordmage vs. Caster test (theterran)
Attack action 1: Daggerhail at junction of N9/O10, +15 elevation. Minimum damage is enough to shatter all the glass on the ceiling in the 10ft burst.
Attack action 2: Grappling Hook to edge of glass on the border of N-9/N-8 +20, using "Pull Self to Target" option.
Attack action 3: Blink Dagger to N-1 +20.
Fall for failing to maintain forward momentum. Auto-pass checks to reduce falling damage to 0.
Your turn.Last edited by Jarian; 2010-10-06 at 03:47 PM.

Re: Swordmage vs. Caster test (theterran)
Lovely...
First off, since you're next to my, my whirling swords both get hits against you.
Sword 1
Attack - (1d20+20)[22]
Damage - (2d6+7)[17]
Sword 2
Attack - (1d20+20)[38]
Damage - (2d6+7)[14]
Now, I 5ft step to L-1
Cast an Immediate spell (Spellcraft DC19)
SpoilerGreater Mirror Image Images - (1d4+4)[7]
Seven copies of me spring to life about me and intermingle with me, making it difficult to know which is the real me.
I then cast another spell (Spellcraft DC19)
SpoilerWings of Flurry
Dragon Wings of Force appear all about and pummel you for (14d6)[45] Force Damage. Reflex Halves (DC 21)
Then I turn it back to you.Last edited by theterran; 2010-10-07 at 07:02 AM.

Re: Swordmage vs. Caster test (theterran)
Close-eyed AoO with Silence Glaive when you cast your Wings of Flurry:
Blind Misschance: (1d2)[1] (1d2)[2] Result of 1 on either indicates a hit.
Attack: (1d20+18)[30]
Damage: One half of (1d10+18)[26] force damage + (1d8)[7] sonic damage.
On hit,SpoilerYou are affected by a targeted Silence effect. The Incantation technically allows no save, but that's ridiculous for a nearly at-will ability in my opinion.

And this class seems incredibly over the top imho...
