ehm, no offence but... what ever spell you just casted, it failed. Your sheet has three scrolls on them yet none of the two spells in question are on the spell list of the duskblade. That pretty much means that unless you got ranks in UMD, there is no way you can use them other then cleaning your sword with them.

[theterran]

They are both on the spell list of the Duskblade.

Check page 24 of the PHBII.

And no offense taken

[Seribro]

*feels realy stupid now*
I looked at the spells list under the spells chapter, but they only listed the spells for duskblade that are new My appologies...

right... I think I'ld better just start posting actions now before I make an even bigger fool of myself

start game with potion in one hand and tower shield in the other
standard action: drink potion
free action drop vial

Daluth - Round 5

Move as follows starting in P8 --> P9 --> Q9 --> R10 and drawing my greatsword on the move.

I believe this grants you an AoO somewhere between my move from Q9 to R10, so I'll let you take that before continuing.

[Seribro]

Okay, why exactly did you take such an elaborate route? Why didn't you charge me right there?

At any rate, I'm allowed to take the AoO at either P9 or Q9 so the heck with it. Lets see if the dies are favourable.

attack: (1d20+7)[25]
damage: (1d10+9)[18]

[Seribro]

Pretty strong hit right there can you imagine if that thing had gone critical?

At any rate, when you move within the 5-ft distance by stepping into R10, you trigger my readied action to move out.

R11->Q12->L12
jump DC 20: (1d20+10)[30]

edit: hell, with that jump I could have just diagonally jumped the river instead...

continue your turn please.

[theterran]

I was ninja'd...so I need to redo my turn.

Does that give me an AoO?

I didn't charge because my maneuvers are standard actions

ninja'd? Oh you mean the ready action? Well, the move to R10 stays but you can rewrite it from there.

Edit: and no, for the sake of the rules, a readied action takes place just before the triggering action occurs. But this doesn't wipe the triggering action away.

For example, if I was a sniper (I believe you've been in that situation?) and readied an action to shoot you as soon as LoS was established, then you still would have to enter the LoS cause I could not shoot before you did. But since rules need a certain order of rewind, for the sake of initiative it was ruled that the readied action comes before the triggering action.

So yes, you move into the spot R10 but for the sake of rules you finnish your arrival after I have left R11 and thus that means no AoO.

[theterran]

Daluth - Round 5 (cont)

Well...since you jumped off...I still have 15ft of move left after getting to R10, so I'll move back to Q8.

There I will draw a potion.

Sorry dude, but you had two types of scrolls on you and I highly doubted that you saved your bull strength for the last moment...

Am I allowed a complete turn right now, or only a move action?

[theterran]

I believe it's your turn at the top of Round 6 now...but I'll get a ref in here to make sure...

Sorry dude, but you had two types of scrolls on you and I highly doubted that you saved your bull strength for the last moment...

Am I allowed a complete turn right now, or only a move action?

What?

[Seribro]

Well there were a few matches in the past where I saw people take readied actions and then when the triggering players was done with his turn, the guy taking the readied action only was allowed a move. I never really understood why and just wanted to make sure this wasn't such a case.
Don't really recall which matches that were either... None of mine as far as I remember.

Any ways, if its my turn at the top of a new round, then I'll better get moving.

first of, a new jump check to see if I make it back.
(1d20+10)[16] vs DC 20

[Seribro]

I guess thats a no...
reflex (1d20+3)[22] DC 15
climb (1d20+6)[14] DC 15

Edit: Okay, this is just embarrassing... I fail the jump, manage to grab the edge, but cant pull my self up...

free action: let go of the edge and just plunge down with guisarme still in hand in M12

Since I still have movement left, (climb checks are part of movement so I am just assuming that this whole failure is counted as a double move action) you see me disappear beneath the bridge.
(Walking on the bottom of the river, counting each square as double movement, is that allowed by your knowing?)

Ref Maurkov

Psychodelia gets a full round of actions. It is was the top of round 6.

However, missing the jump ended that move action*. Attempting the pull-up cost a move action. After dropping, she'd done.

Now it's the bottom of round 6; Daluth's turn.


*The SRD says that with a failed jump (and successful REF save), "You end your movement grasping the far edge. If that leaves you dangling over a chasm or gap, getting up requires a move action and a DC 15 Climb check."

One could interpret that to mean that Psychodelia doesn't even get to attempt to pull-up until the following round, but since she missed it and dropped, the result is the same.

[Seribro]

Well, that slightly changes my ending location. I'm in the water at M12 then

sigh... take ten on a swim check vs DC 10, swim 5 feet as a move action before walking out of the water and back to my cozy tree at R11 as a second move action.

So double move to reach R11, this time no readied actions or tricks, your turn.
Little word of caution, I do still hold my guisarme. And I am soaking wet. Which makes me agitated. Just so you know....
