Yorick - edroux
Deharius - Amdumbration

All gladiators please roll initiative

[edroux]

Initiative!
(1d20+2)[7]

I will investigate purchases later in the morning.

EDIT: FYI - It appears that there's something wrong with your character sheet. I won't be able to come up with a buying strategy until it's available.

There you go... A while back TTW updated their site (again) and changed stuff around, don't know why it hasn't been updated for the arena. And my name still has a typo.

I'm still working on purchases myself - no hurry.

Initiative:
(1d20+3)[7]

[Adumbration]

Purchases:
Psionic tattoo of Force screen (50 gps)
2x Crawling tattoo of Energy ray (fire) (100 gps)
Sling
Bullets, sling (20, 2 sp)

Seeing that we got the same initiative, we re-roll, right? I'll watch what you buy, but I doubt that I will buy anything more - reserving the right, nonetheless.

(1d20+3)[7]

[edroux]

I'd ask what the odds are, but I already know...

Anyway, you'll be going first. You have a higher init mod than I do.

Also, the tat of force screen should cost double for being a personal power. (I got one of my own.)

Purchases and other relevant info to come. I'm off for the afternoon.

Maybe I'm blind, but I can't find anything about Personal powers doubling the cost...

[Kyeudo]

GM Kyeudo

Powers with a range of personal can be made into psionic tattoos, but they cost double the price of standard psionic tattoos.

I hope that answers that question.

[edroux]

Well, going on Kyuedo's response to my question in the waiting room and the fact that he didn't shoot down my response to his response, I'm going to go ahead and make my purchases.

2x crawling tattoo of energy ray[electricity] (ML 2nd, augmented 1 pp) - 200g
1x potion of cure light wounds 50g

I'm ready when you are.

[Adumbration]

Things are getting out of control with these crawling tattoos... Soon the participants themselves won't have to fight at all!

Anyway, do you mind if I revise my purchases? This kinda changes some things.

EDIT: Going to bed now, doing the stuff tomorrow morning.

[edroux]

Revise in what manner? Scrap them totally in favor of others? I probably won't mind either way, but I might want to revise based on your revising. It'll be a revise-a-thon. Or not. It will likely come down to whimsy.

Short answer:
Revise away.

[Adumbration]

Y'see, if I'm to win against your tattoos, I have to drastically change my character's general tactics.

Purchases, revised, ignore the previous:
Sling
Bullets, sling (40, 4 sp)
Potion of spider climb (300 gps)

If you like, you can revise your own purchases as well. I'll start after that.

[edroux]

I revise nothing!

However, I will stock up on some more arrows.

2x arrows(20) - 2gp

Yorick Round 2

Single move to P13.
Standard action to attack with longbow. (If I'm not mistaken, you get some sort of cover from the pillar. I can never remember the rules for cover... If I roll high enough to hit, but low enough that it would make a difference, I'll look them up.)

EDIT: You've cast two spells so far and I'm guessing that at least one of them was Shield of Faith, so I'm gonna score that as a miss.

items used - 1x arrow, 1x crawling tattoo of EB

Tattoo position: Z15 (assuming it misses)

[Adumbration]

I thought it made sense, since a sling is basically a leather cup with straps.

In any case, could you care to explain how the tattoo has +7 to attack? Your manifester level is 0, and your highest ability modifier is +2.

...and a bonus on attack rolls equal to the wearer’s manifester level + his key ability modifier.

[edroux]

+2 for my INT, +2 for charging and +3 because you're wearing metal armor.

[Adumbration]

Ah, thanks for the clarification.

I'll take the rest of my turn later this afternoon. I've got some work to attend to.

[Adumbration]

The what scorpion? And I thought Fine creatures didn't get AoOs?
