Fingers - Psionic Dog
Gullfaxi - TheFallenOne

All Combatants, please roll initiative and declare final purchases, if any

[Psionic Dog]

What's a Celestial like you doing with a Cha of 4?

Here's my initiative while I consider purchases.
Initiative - (1d20+2)[17]

[TheFallenOne]

he may be Celestial, but the foam in his mouth when he gets angry is a slight turn-off for some

I noticed my tower shield never entered my purchase log, so I overspent. I guess I have to retroactively sell the shield again and one of my faith healings

Initiative (1d20+3)[22]

[Psionic Dog]

Hmm. A very very fast Law-Devotiong Whirling-Frenzy Barbarian quadruped.

Currency: 477 after last win.
I'm feeling an armor upgrade.

Purchasing:
A Masterwork Breastplate with Armor Spikes. [400 gp]
And... Hmm.

And an Alchemist Fire.
That "2x cost for personal powers" really does put a cramp in the psionic tatoo market.

Reserve right to any reactionary buys.

[TheFallenOne]

no reactionaries

Start in M23, greatsword in hands, ranseur in mouth

looks like I'll get a taste of my personal favourite, the Aberrant Blood feats

[Psionic Dog]

Starting in M4 in the shiny new breastplate with Glave in hands and my own ranseur between Finger's Teeth.

[TheFallenOne]

how long does that work at most?

[Psionic Dog]

CL3 invisibility lasts up to 3 minutes.

[hustlertwo]

Well, at least you didn't activate your rage yet, Fallen. But looks like Travel Devotion and Law are going to fall by the wayside.

[TheFallenOne]

which was actually the plan to get him to expend his invisibility. Worst case for me was a readied invisibility+5 foot step triggered by me provoking an AoO, I charge, he gets a free attack, my action is wasted and he gets a full attack on top. Now I just need to tank his one free attack from invisibility

[TheFallenOne]

my readied action triggers when you become invisible, I move to M13. You can revise your turn from there

[Psionic Dog]

Ok.

... All things considered that's a pretty sweet spot to stand when facing an invisible foe.

Last roll neglected the -2 enlarged Dex, but he still doesn't hear me.

Well, no real incentive to go up after him just yet.

Fighting Defensively strike the first glass pane within reach and LoE that Gullfaxi moves adjacent to.

Bonus points: Since that's indirect harm it won't break invisibility.
