I am completely willing to fight alone. Don't disqualify me if KC doesn't post.

[Morbius]

Same here if Kami doesn't show up I can fight alone

init - (1d20-2)[9]

BTW I still might buy stuff

[Nu]

I haven't bought yet either.

Initiative - (1d20+2)[20]

[Paladin Latham]

I'm going to give KC one more day to post (mostly out of fairness, partially out of cowardice ).

I see that the Brute Gauntlets were to your liking Morbius.

[Paladin Latham]

Pin round 1:

Pin starts the match at Y14 with two potions in hand. You see her drink one then she moves and dissapears (because of concealment from the glass)! (unless you make a spot check!)

For Refs:

Pin drinks her potion of Beastland Ferocity and moves (whilst hiding and moving silently) to V15, drawing her ladder along the way.

Pin will climb her ladder swiftly (at dc0) whilst hiding and moving silently up to T/U 15/16. She will keep her hand ON the ladder when she reaches the top, thus she will use her second move action to pull up her (still) 20ft. ladder. I won't roll a balance check this round for the glass roof unless I need to, I haven't moved to another square across it, I just got on it.

Pin round 5:

Pin moves to K/L 13/14 and attacks the glass pane above J13 with an unarmed strike, afterwords placing both hands back on her 20ft. ladder. The one with reach. Maybe. It depends on a balance check.

Attack vs. glass pane

I don't understand... why your move was void? because you missed the balance check? If that is so shouldn't you be prone in the floor as you missed by 5 the DC?


EDIT: Oh... I see, you were too far away, plus can only walk at half speed unless you face a DC 15 balance check... ouch...

I think I will stop with the hide and seek for now... and start with the... what's the name of that game that everyone has to run from one person who is trying to get them? Anyway...

Pin round 6:

Based on the rolls I made you see Pin move to G/H 13/14 after she stumbles a little. That is all.

Balance(excellerated) (1d20+2)[10] vs. dc 15
Balance(normal) (1d20+2)[12] vs. dc 10

For Refs:

Spoiler

Show

Pin will move to F/G 13/14 and, if I make the roll for excellerated balancing, she will drop her ladder as a free action, draw a javelin as part of a continuing move to dangle off the edge of the roof, putting me at D/E 13/14 10ft. off the ground. I will then attack Nu with the Javelin

Javelin Attack! (1d20+3)[7]
If it threatens (1d20+3)[11]
If it hits (1d8+4)[5]
If it crits (1d8+4)[9]

I think that my Javelin is larger so it does 1d8 instead of 1d6 and I apply strength to damage on thrown weapons right? Anyway, If I only make the second balance check I will move to G/H 13/14 as the last move action available if I fail the first (this means I would still have the ladder in both hands.

Edit: Dammit!

[Morbius]

Should'nt Pin fall in the 1st move as he(or is it she?) failed by 5 the balance? then the second move action would be to stand up(or maybe you could try to crawl

EDIT: I was thinking about doing the same thing you are doing now (but I hadn't checked the balance rules by then, now.. I see you actually need a good balance skill to just stay in the roof.

[Paladin Latham]

The roof isn't sloped or anything. Kyace really didn't elaborate that the balance check was to fall down or the necessary amount to move at all.

[Morbius]

I never meant a 20 feet fall from the roof, I mean slipping and fall on the glass basically having to stand up or crawl if you wanted to continue to move:

Balance (Dex; Armor Check Penalty)

You can walk on a precarious surface. A successful check lets you move at half your speed along the surface for 1 round. A failure by 4 or less means you can’t move for 1 round. A failure by 5 or more means you fall. The difficulty varies with the surface, as follows:

[Talic]

Initiate Ref Talic

Ok, seeing as most of the players are high refs, I'm not sure how much weight this will carry, but...

This map has no rulings in the Arena Waiting room. The map does not indicate a sloped roof. However, the nature of the surface (wide and flat), and the nature of the check required (balance) requires that the surface is somewhat treacherous. If the surface were not slippery and treacherous, it would be otherwise stable for walking.

By that, it would lead me to believe that this is treated as any other unstable surface. Pass, get 50% movement, Fail by less than 5, get no movement, and Fail by 5 or more, fall prone in square.

That's my interpretation of the balance, at least.

Other weigh ins?

[Bayar]

Ref Bayar

As it says in the map description, you need to make a balance check to MOVE on the glass. Fail and you cant move...that is how I understand it...but no DC, no other details...we should try to create a patch for this map
