Trident: This three-tined piercing weapon can be thrown just as a
shortspear or spear can be, but its range increment is shorter
because it’s not as aerodynamic as those other weapons. If you use a
ready action to set a trident against a charge, you deal double damage
on a successful hit against a charging character.

Eh, jumping ship happens. The game might not be exactly what they thought it was going to be, that's all.

I already rolled attack and damage for my first round in my last IC post - I got 15 damage with a readied attack against the lion, so doubled is 30 - not enough to kill it in one blow, but I think that triggers massive damage, so a failed fort might kill it anyways.

I'll be honest, grappling is my weakpoint, but I'll roll a couple times and see how I do.

I'll roll an attack for my 3 cohorts as well. Do you want to roll stas for them, or should I?

lol your cleric droped her weapon oh and check the charater making page the ooc room just an insight into gantz

[Dungeon_Master]

to those quitting, good luck. in ancient rome, gladiators before emperor titus had a near 90% survival rate, unless they were delivered internal wounds.

Athas(dark sun) is a very harsh world, where gladiator arena combat is the most popular form of entertainment. combat is a core part of a gladiator game.
As players we play to be challenged, to have fun and learn new things. Characters live, die, win and are defeated, in many games to lose is to die. it is hard enough to game through this medium where everything takes a long time to resolve, but it does require an active role, not a passive one.

[Dungeon_Master]

i did my 17 to his 13 i am not grappled

ok, so no rake attacks for him, and your ready disabled the other lion which charged you

Okay, dex check for Gulah, Dc - 10

All things considered, it makes sense that she'd botch her first roll. lol

Doesn't the lion need to hit with both claws to get the grapple attack from improved grapple?

Right. Well, I'm still good to go. My fast healing will kick in and take care of the rest of the wound by next turn, hopefully. Speaking of which, it's probably my turn to post IC, isn't it?

Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a lion must hit with its
bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action
without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple
check, it establishes a hold and can rake.

oops, I thought it was claw..
guess no grapples my bad.

I was thinking of the generic entry for improve grab
Improved Grab (Ex): If a creature with this special attack hits
with a melee weapon (usually a claw or bite attack), it deals normal
damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking
an attack of opportunity (see Grapple, page 155 of the Player’s
Handbook). No initial touch attack is required.
Unless otherwise noted, improved grab works only against opponents
at least one size category smaller than the creature. The
creature has the option to conduct the grapple normally, or simply
use the part of its body it used in the improved grab to hold the
opponent. If it chooses to do the latter, it takes a –20 penalty on
grapple checks, but is not considered grappled itself; the creature
does not lose its Dexterity bonus to AC, still threatens an area, and
can use its remaining attacks against other opponents.
A successful hold does not deal any extra damage unless the creature
also has the constrict special attack. If the creature does not
constrict, each successful grapple check it makes during successive
rounds automatically deals the damage indicated for the attack that
established the hold. Otherwise, it deals constriction damage as
well (the amount is given in the creature’s descriptive text).
When a creature gets a hold after an improved grab attack, it
pulls the opponent into its space. This act does not provoke attacks
of opportunity. It can even move (possibly carrying away the
opponent), provided it can drag the opponent’s weight.

is there enough room for a charge at my second lion? or is it too close

[Dungeon_Master]
