Re: Arena Tournament, Round 40: The Unstoppable Force vs Zanzabar
Well... that's not cool. I was gonna buy a Tower Shield and use it for cover against the magic missiles... until I read the entry for the shield...
The shield does not, however, provide cover against targeted spells; a spellcaster can cast a spell on you by targeting the shield you are holding.
Thunderstone x1 - 30g
Alchemist's Fire x2 - 40g
Acid Flask x2 - 20g
Tanglefoot Bag x1 - 50g
total: 140g.
You go first.

U-forceSpoilerNo LoS. Also, (and I may be wrong because I don't know ToB) drinking a potion is a standard action, but moving is just a move action so you your move is fine. I assume it was just a typo.

@Zanzibar:SpoilerPsionic focus is expended.
Play continues, with unstoppable force at G9. Any actions after the movement to G9 (and subsequent attack) may be amended, if you so choose.

Re: Arena Tournament, Round 40: The Unstoppable Force vs Zanzabar
A 17 touches. (from the hand. Touch vs you is 18 currently)
(1d20+7)[9] to resist the grapple.
And since...
Attack of Opportunity. You provoke an attack of opportunity from the target you are trying to grapple. If the attack of opportunity deals damage, the grapple attempt fails.
EDIT: Wait, the Arm wouldnt even get an AoO, it's only from the target of the grapple.Last edited by SamTheCleric; 2008-06-23 at 09:55 AM.

Re: Arena Tournament, Round 40: The Unstoppable Force vs Zanzabar
*sigh*
I suppose that makes it my turn... And I'm grappled.
Question: Does the hand have to make any rolls to join in now? I haven't had to look up all the weird grapple rules in a while, but I seem to recall something about being able to enter a grapple already in progress without any rolling.Priceless (courtesy of SamTheCleric)

Re: Arena Tournament, Round 40: The Unstoppable Force vs Zanzabar
SRD:
Joining a Grapple
If your target is already grappling someone else, you can use an attack to start a grapple, as above, except that the target doesn’t get an attack of opportunity against you, and your grab automatically succeeds. You still have to make a successful opposed grapple check to become part of the grapple.
If there are multiple opponents involved in the grapple, you pick one to make the opposed grapple check against.

Sam was good enough to point out to me that my touch AC is actually a 14, not a 13, as I remembered it. (That's what happens when you try to run your character from memory...) This means that his touch attack to grapple me actually missed, which brings us back to:
