Arena Tournament, Round 39: Phelonius vs Glunk

[SoD]

Right, well, seeing as we're on a ref break, I'm off and probably won't be able to get back until tomorrow morning (14+ hours). I may be able to get here later tonight, but no promises. If nothings happened in the next 4 hours or so, nothings going to happen for a lot longer.

[SamTheCleric]

No worries, we all have a real life outside of the arena. We had a good run of 7 rounds already... so that's something.

Well, since it isn't directly called out in RAW, I can't officially rule, but I'll throw my opinion out. Brief figment lasts ...until it is struck. So the tattoo does actually "hit" it. The tattoo can't discern between the image and the real, so even if it were intelligent, it would still think it was hitting it's original target. I say, since the tattoo attacks and hits what it 'thinks' is the target, it pops its power on it.

[SoD]

Bugger. I was hoping that, as an illusion, it wouldn't actually strike.

You've got four rounds while I'm unconcious, blind and stunned, then another two while I'm blind and stunned to do what you want.

This is going to hurt...

I'm pretty sure I can talk whilst stunned, but that's about it... Irrelevant. I'm even surer I can't take actions whilst dead. Good game, mate.

[SamTheCleric]

Excellent match. I got extremely lucky... those tattoos arent nice.

Well played. You were the opponent I was most scared of. I hope I don't have to fight you in the finals.... cause... I dont want to have to go through that again.

After the first attack, SOD wakes up. The second Coup de grace was illegal.


Also, there isnt anything in the Sleep spell description that the target actually falls to the ground sleeping or that he just stands on his feet sleeping.

[SamTheCleric]

Um, Bayar. It wasnt the sleep spell... it was Color Spray. He was Unconscious for those rounds where he was CdG'd.

Its legal, I promise.

A vivid cone of clashing colors springs forth from your hand, causing creatures to become stunned, perhaps also blinded, and possibly knocking them unconscious.

Each creature within the cone is affected according to its Hit Dice.

2 HD or less
The creature is unconscious, blinded, and stunned for 2d4 rounds, then blinded and stunned for 1d4 rounds, and then stunned for 1 round. (Only living creatures are knocked unconscious.)

Knocked out and helpless. Unconsciousness can result from having current hit points between -1 and -9, or from nonlethal damage in excess of current hit points

A helpless character is paralyzed, held, bound, sleeping, unconscious, or otherwise completely at an opponent’s mercy. A helpless target is treated as having a Dexterity of 0 (-5 modifier). Melee attacks against a helpless target get a +4 bonus (equivalent to attacking a prone target). Ranged attacks gets no special bonus against helpless targets. Rogues can sneak attack helpless targets.

As a full-round action, an enemy can use a melee weapon to deliver a coup de grace to a helpless foe. An enemy can also use a bow or crossbow, provided he is adjacent to the target. The attacker automatically hits and scores a critical hit. (A rogue also gets her sneak attack damage bonus against a helpless foe when delivering a coup de grace.) If the defender survives, he must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + damage dealt) or die.

But, but, but the ref said...ah damn it, I knew I shouldn't've took the honest trait. Sams right, guv. I'm out of it.
