Tactical Battle Tournament - acclue_lockheart vs PirateJesus (resolved - acclue wins)

[acclue_lockheart]

I choose not to take my readied actions (it only says I CAN take them not that I have to) and it comes back to my turn.

do I still provoke an attack of opportunity from behind that wall? or can I not fire when they're that close even with cover?

[Siosilvar]

Give me a couple minutes to get everything sorted out so that I can update the map.

EDIT: Instead of showing the shield arcs on the map, I'll just post who can attack who:
1,3,5,7: vs. AC 16: 5,6,7,8; vs. AC 20: 9,0,a,b
2,4,6,8: vs. AC 16: 1,2,3,4; vs. AC 20: 9,0,a,b
9: vs. AC 20: 5,6,7,8; vs. AC 24: 3
0: vs. AC 20: 3,5,6,7; vs. AC 24: 4,8
a: vs. AC 20: 3,4,5,6; vs. AC 24: 2,7
b: vs. AC 20: 2,3,4,6; vs. AC 24: 1,5
0,a: vs. AC 21: 1,2

NOTE: AC 24 is being attacked by a square where the shield line goes halfway through the square. Seems reasonable to give improved cover (as a "half" of total cover, plus regular cover bonus)
NOTE2: AC listed does not include cover from allies.

EDIT2: Yes, you'd still provoke attacks of opportunity, but your AC is increased by 4 due to cover.

Wait a sec, I thought the walls were full length. Where does it say they are low walls?

Current maps:
Terraces from hell

Shaded regions show where each respective team may place their men first. There is a low wall that provides cover for those behind it marked by the gray line.

It costs 10ft of movement to move over the low walls, as does moving over the low walls.

The pits have a climb DC of 20, although you can brace yourself off a corner for a +5 bonus.

Attacking melee gives you a +1 bonus to hit and damage if you're above the opponent, and -1 if you're below.

You gain +1 to hit (but not damage) for each terrace you are above the enemy when attacking ranged.

The regions that are marked with the teams respective color contain that team's flag.

The dark shaded regions are 30 ft pits, and the regions marked by terrace edges, are terraces.

Dark gray is 30ft pits. They are lined with various sharp objects, and cost 10ft of movement to move through. Anyone jumping or falling into this area takes 1d8 piercing damage (no savings throw) in addition to their normal falling damage.

Tan is 10ft elevation.

Light gray are rope bridges. They are treated as normal ground, but can be destroyed. They have a hardness of 1 and a HP of 10. They take 1/2 damage from piercing weapons.

Shaded regions are starting positions, and colored regions are flag locations.

Low walls are gray lines. They provide cover.

The walls have a climb DC of 20.

There is a ramp, which is marked by a white area flanked by black lines. Treat this as normal ground.

Statue Hall

Spoiler

Show

The black areas are walled off. The walls are 50ft high and have a climb DC of 30.

The gray circles are statues. They are perfect representations of the soldiers fighting. They cannot be climbed or destroyed. Every round, the statues on the red side move 5ft towards the statues on blue's side, and vice versa. Treat the statues movement as if the statues rolled a -10 for INT. Anyone caught in front of a moving statue is considered bull rushed, and automatically fails the strength check. Anyone caught between the two center statues when they move together is killed instantly. Once the two statues in the center meet, the statues begin to move in reverse from their normal direction until they reach their starting positions. Then, they go back to normal movement. Repeat the process until someone has won.

Glass arena

Level 1

Level 2

Level 3


As you have guessed, this is a multi-level map. All of the floors and ceilings are made of glass. Each 5ft square has a hardness of 4 and a HP of 15. They take double damage from bludgeoning weapons.

Each floor is 10ft below the first. The arena is enchanted with feather fall, so there's no falling damage.

The lines are glass walls. They have a hardness of 5 and a HP of 25. They take double damage from bludgeoning weapons.

The circles are glass pillars. They provide cover. They have a hardness of 10 and a HP of 50 . They take double damage from bludgeoning weapons.

The only way to pass between levels is by breaking through the floor.

[BizzaroStormy]

I see what happened. It says on the waiting room version that they're low walls but not in this one. In that case, I SURRENDER due to my strategy being shot to hell.

[Silence]

Oh. Wow. That sucks.....

This tournament officially fails.

[Siosilvar]

The tournament fails?
What does that mean?

Also; Pirate; I'm sorry about the issue with the walls. I didn't even notice that it didn't say the blue walls are low.

EDIT: Posts #26 and #27 just appeared out of nowhere.

[Silence]

It means that we need less people dropping out and more people killing each other.

[acclue_lockheart]

[Grey Cloak]
