All Combatants, please roll initiative and declare any final purchases

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.

The tent needs to be gone. Init is unfortunate.

Are we allowed to purchase alchemical items created by the epic craft skill?

[candycorn]

I don't think that question has ever come up before... I'd be inclined to lean against it... But 20 foot smoke cubes do somewhat appeal to me, even if the cost is crazy high. Regardless, it's a call for a ref that's not me, since I'm involved in the match.

ref question

In the breaking object rules it talks about vulnerability to certain attacks such as curtains being vulnerable to fire. Would the tent be vulnerable to fire?

Candycorn/Ref Question

Can my mule have the following readied action each round:

"Move towards the aggressor of someone who attacks Overnight"

Defend (DC 20): The animal defends you (or is ready to defend you if no threat is present), even without any command being given. Alternatively, you can command the animal to defend a specific other character.

I believe precedent establishes that the mount's "ready to defend" extends to AoO's and auto-attacking next round, not to ready actions. Ready actions is covered by the Ambush skill trick. Still, anyone that attacks you will draw the future aggression of your mount.

[candycorn]

I think, to start purchases, I'll be getting a tattoo of Synesthete (-100gp).

[Jopustopin]

I'm going to purchase a Masterwork guisarme and sell my guisarme. (I sell it for 50% of the price listed in phb right?)


How close are we to starting?

[candycorn]

Correct. Items are sold at 50% value.

Currently waiting on any counter purchases from opponents.

Cole:

No. Leather is not especially vulnerable to fire (it's actually reasonably resistant to it.)

[ybot]

Thanks sallera.
We still need a ruling on Jvluso's question about the epic craft skill before I can do purchases.

[Jopustopin]

Are we allowed to purchase alchemical items created by the epic craft skill?

Any idea what the prices for these things would be?

[candycorn]

The epic skill rules say they cost 5 times as much to craft, so if they're allowed, the price would be x5.

[Jopustopin]

Any reasons why they wouldn't be allowed?

[candycorn]

Some of the more esoteric items have been, at times, disallowed. Examples include discount spells from PrC lists. It's a valid question, though I suspect they'll be allowed.

[Kyeudo]

GM Kyeudo

I'm just going to use my GM powers and rule all of the epic rules out of play. The last thing we need is 20 minute tangle foot bags getting thrown around. 3 rounds of the things is crippling enough.

[ybot]

Cole will purchase 4 acid flasks for 40gp.

[jvluso]

blasty will buy a hammer and 4 Iron spikes (dungeonscape) for 9 sp

Overnight starts in Y10 holding a Masterwork Guisarme. He has a Thunderstone in his mouth. He is wearing Leather Armor.

Postal Service is in W11-X12. He has a carrot in his mouth and appears to be very happy.

Tent is in Z10-Z11, both flaps closed.
My mount is in: Y8-Z9.

I am in Z10.

Jopus, I think your mount placement is illegal, since we don't have all our spaces occupied. Can you please adjust it to X11-Y12, to fill all our starting squares?

Blasty, Cole, if you could post your location, and items in hand, in LOS spoilers, since I don't have LOS to you, I'd appreciate.

ybot: I was looking over sheets, trying to figure out our best options vs your character, and how to chew through your 13hp... and then I realized.

The Shape Soulmeld feat requires a Constitution of 13.
Please reselect the feat, prior to round start.

Source.

[ybot]

How much am I allowed to change? Could I just change stats to give him a 13 con?

[candycorn]

You are allowed to remove the illegal feat, and replace it with a legal one, I believe. I do not believe any alteration beyond correcting the illegal portion is allowed.

[Sallera]

Correct; only the feat can be changed.

[ybot]

I switched it to sudden still spell, so he should be legal now.

Will I be able to fix other things after the round? He really isn't as good now, and if it had been caught in sheet checks I could have fixed his stats instead.

[candycorn]

Not stats. But after the round you can retire/recreate him.
