Arena Tournament, Round 45: Greyven vs. Caleb Vestrit

[Adumbration]

I believe that the attack #2 put Greyven unconscious? Am I wrong?

Backup again, you can't move to T8 because you are large and there isn't even enough room for you to be Squeezing.

[Adumbration]

What prevents it? There's only a rockpillar on one side... If Caleb was moving between the lava and the rockpillar, then, yes, but now? Could you explain?

You are large, 4 squares. To be squeezing you have to occupy at least 2 full squares. T8 is one. Both T7 and U8 are half squares with the other half being at a different elevation. That means there's a wall that blocks you from occupying the whole square. You can't be at two elevations at the same time. At +0' you have, at most, a square and a half. That's not enough room for you to squeeze without an Escape Artist check DC30. Even if you could make the check, you couldn't attack.

[Adumbration]

Ok, so I occupy the space T 6-7 and U 6-7. I still have reach of 10 feet, which means I can reach him. No practical difference. Do you wish me to re-roll, once more?

High Ref chilepeper

That position is legal. Note you are squeezing.

We'll use the rolls you made. You get -4 attack for squeezing, and +1 for now being on higher ground.

The AoO still happens, but misses.

First unarmed swing hits AC9
Second swing hits AC16, which I believe is a hit. 12 nonlethal damage, right?

I'll let the two of you confirm my math before I call the match.

In the spirit of fairness, I'm asking a second opinion on Chile's ruling on movement. Please stand by.

Actualy, his initial choice of positioning looks legal to me. There isn't a significant difference in elevation between T8 and U8. Most of the "walls" are just artistic touches used to divide the gradual incline squares from the normal elevation squares.

In fact, I believe that is the positioning that we should go with. It was Caleb's initial choice, after all.

That puts his best attack at hitting AC 15, due to the squeezing penalties.

[Thrall_Of_Ao]

Thank you for the ruling.

Grayven's AC is currently 15, due to his weapon being wielded.

-12 subdual leave Grayven at -2hp, not dead but definitely unconscious.

It seems my PC needs to make some adjustments.

Nice match Adumbration! One more round and I think I would have had you!

I look forward to watching your next match!

Thank you for the clarification Kyeudo. Now that everything is in order, I'll call the match.

Caleb is the winner, ice cream will be served in the lobby on your way out.
