    I don't believe so. It's unclear, because they are subject to other things constructs are invulnerable to. It takes 3 damage, at least. How much health does it have now?

    Three damage will be enough to incapacitate it. However, prior to that we need to resolve the AoO issue. Will rule it when I get back to books.

    I think it does take the AoO. I don't know if that's in my best interest, one way or another, but it's in his square, threatening him. Then he leaves, provoking an AoO.

    Not a ref, tho.

    If it takes the AoO, that could break the charm. If you can order it to take no offensive actions, it wouldn't. If you can't, it would take the AoO. That's why I need to get to books, to read rules for Psionic Tattoos. If it's a construct, and you created it, it could be construed as an "ally" of you, that's the issue. Will have an answer for you in 2 hours.

    After reviewing source, the Crawling Tattoo does allow wielder to claim it, However, other than that, the wielder has no control over it.

    Grushnak moves out of B2, moving to A4 (10 foot move), provoking an AoO. (The tattoo does threaten its own square). The tattoo must take that AoO.

    Flymolo, you may roll the attack for the crystal, as you have LOS.

    2nd part. Prior to the crossbow attack. Does the AoO break Charm? According to Charm:
    Any act by you or your apparent allies that threatens the charmed person breaks the spell.
    Now, the psicrystal activated the tattoo, and that is what's attacking him. The tattoo might not be considered an ally (Llince has stated his intent to protect Grushnak from the tattoo), however, the item that activated the tattoo certainly is.

    I hate precedent-setting rulings. I really do. I'd like a little more opinion before a ruling is made. Either way, Flymolo, make the AoO attack for the tattoo. Whether charm stays or not is in question though, so this match will be on pause immediately following that attack.

    It says apparent allies, doesn't it? So far I've stated explicitly that I don't want the tattoo to attack him anymore. So whether it's an ally is not in question, it's whether its an apparent ally.

    Anyways, match paused.

    See, but there, if we rule that the tattoo, and not the creature that activated it, is the "ally", then it would be, at the very least, a bluff check, opposed by sense motive, to convince your opponent of something that's not true.

    That seems the simplest course, however, and, in absence of other opinions, that's going to be the one I go with.

    EDIT: Llince, I need a bluff check from you.
    Grushnak, I need a sense motive.

    The bluff was for "Sorry about earlier. He's a little impulsive.". You were giving the impression that the crystal was acting against your best interests when it launched its attack, and that the attack was a misunderstanding, rather than intended.

    The charm spell breaks, based on what Grushnak can only perceive as an intentional attack, by something launched from an ally.

    I'll get followup on the readied action in a minute.

    The charm was successful. Although I didn't check to see if the in combat +5 modifer was added to the save. The readied action should only trigger if the charm had failed, which it did not. It was removed after the fact.

    Combat +5 was included.


    I think we're in agreement here, a charm that successfully saves, and is subsequently broken by an attack is not considered to have failed.

    Play continues from the point the charm was broken, which was the missed attack by the tattoo.

    Grushnak may modify the remainder of the turn based on the broken charm.

    Well, revised round based on the fact that is was a failed bluff. crawling tattoo isn't incapacitated.
    Grushnak moves instead to B4, enraged. "You think apologies and false friendships work in an arena match? Think again!" He fires a bolt at Llince.
    Attack roll: (1d20+10)[17]
    Damage if it hits:(1d6+4)[6]

    The failed bluff was before the charm, and the charm ending was after the bluff. How to verbally react to that?

An entangled character who attempts to cast a spell must make a Concentration check (DC 15 + the spell’s level) or lose the spell.
    Correct on the entanglement. Opponent needs to make a will save for the effect listed. For future reference, please label the actions you take. It makes it much easier to sort each turn out.

    You would have no reason to get soft cover. You were in B3(check your post yesterday), I was in B4. I stepped back to B5 and attacked.

    Your psicrystal isn't in the way because you said you both moved to B2/B3, and you were in B3, placing your psicrystal in the square behind you (B2)

    Even if you did get soft cover, it gives a +4 bonus to AC, not a percentile chance of it hitting the giver of cover. In that circumstance, your current AC would have to rise to 25, or you'd need to spend more power points to prevent incapacitation

    Another point of note. x2 crit does not equal "double the damage". It means, "roll the weapon's damage again".

    In other words, it would be
    2d6+8, not (1d6+4)x2.

    apparently because of a typo I DIDN'T move last turn, though I did fire a ranged weapon. anywho, if neither my Will save nor anything else hinders me, I'll move to C3, and fire upon Llince if I see him, if not, the tattoo that keeps hitting me for damage.

    Will Save: (1d20+1)[15]

    Attack Roll: (1d20+6)[19]
    Damage if it Hits: (1d6+3)[9]
    Subtract 1 to the to hit and damage if my target is further than 30 feet away.

    This time I barely make the Will save, but still somehow make it nonetheless. Do these forum rollers love me or what?

    Okay, you definitely see me. I'm in G1. Cover rulings need to be ruled(not my forte, but I'm almost nearly sure I get cover.) And you provoke an AoO from my psicrystal. (1d20+5)[19]AC No idea. (1d4)[3] damage, and make a DC 11 reflex save or catch on fire.

    I'll get a ref for that cover silliness.

    And I forgot the fire damage. Typical. (1d4)[2]

    Your AC can't be higher than 18, cuz that's what it was earlier. So you take 5 damage at least. How many hitpoints do you have left?

    High Ref Talic

    Yes, Llince in G1 has cover from Grushnak in C3. +4 AC is the relevant bonus.
