Humm I didn't know Cyn could use scrolls

So what is SG, what is ESNAII?

[Maurkov]

Sorry your trip was cancelled.

Acidic Fire is from the Eberron Campaign Setting. ESNAII is (Extended) Summon Nature's Ally II and SG is Spike Growth. I believe Cyn is going to hand the scrolls off to Leaf.

Don't be it was not like I wanted t go (today anyway)

It was not exactly canceled and more like errr postponed so instead of rushing out today I will have time to actualy pack my stuff

EDIT: Wow... I was just looking into Spike Growth... so we won't be able to see what squares will be affected?

EDIT2: Updated buying list on the 1st post

[Maurkov]

So with 5 ranks, how much fire resistance does that give you?

Re: Spike Growth, yes. It's a burly search DC.

[Morbius]

Fire resistance 5

[Bayar]

Please note sig. I will be unable, for a while, to decide on my purchases, so please dont DQ me

[stupnick]

yes, unless your a rogue, you can't even attempt to find where the spikes are... sneaky ain't it : )


in response to your updated list

i will buy 4 alch frost and 4 3 alch spark

what book is that flames blessing from? and what does it do : )

[Morbius]

what book is that flames blessing from? and what does it do : )

Tome of battle, it's a stance that gives fire resistance based on number of tumble ranks (for me it will give fire resistance 5).

Oh yeah, I guess it is fair to warn you that Bayar actually made a couple buyings before the match(he told me that yesterday), they are on his expenses chart but not on his item list

[stupnick]

i believe we are waiting on counter buys, before we can start??

i saw bayar post in the waiting room today, hopefully he's around.

[Bayar]

Hmm...a potion of protection from chaos, a CLW pot, a shield of faith potion and...enough for now. Still thinking though.

[Maurkov]

Bayar, are you finished with your buys?

Leaf has no reaction to the purchases so far.

[Bayar]

Waiting for reaction buy, and might still buy something, but not sure...

[stupnick]

well i have no reaction buys, so that means we can move onto the battle since reaction buys are done.

i will post my first action in the morning since i am first up

just wondering, since we are teamed up, can it be assumed that we could have previously handed items to our partners

[Morbius]

I don't think Bayar has finished his buyings...

[Maurkov]

Since scrolls must be deciphered before use, I will assume we shared items well before match day.

[Talic]

Since scrolls must be deciphered before use, I will assume we shared items well before match day.

Items may be traded, sold, or purchased from other characters of another player. Transactions must be of equal value in gold piece cost. Value is defined as the normal market price of such an item.

I also believe that Kyeudo's ruled that scrolls for Arena come pre-identified.

Basically, what this means is that you're welcome to trade items of equal value between teammates prior to match start, but having participants begin play with items that aren't owned by them would qualify as an action which must be done in match, as the above rule is the only one I can see which deals with item exchange between players, and would thus hold sway.

[chilepepper]

High Ref chilepepper

I concur.

[Maurkov]

Nice to see the refs are tuning in.

No problem. This my first team match. Has it been previously determined what kind of action it is for each character to pass an object from one to another? Does it depend if one takes vs. the other one gives?

Bayar: We're all waiting on you to definitively finish your shopping (while, one would assume, reserving your right to reaction-buys).

[chilepepper]

I don't know if there's other precedent, but I've personally taken things from friendlies. Taking an item from a teammate can be a Disarm attempt the isn't resisted.

As far as RAW goes, giving an item might be considered stowing an item (in someone else's hand). But going by super-strict RAW, the receiver would drop it since he can't take free actions off his turn, save speaking. Also, that makes it a move action, whereas the other is a standard action.

If we go by RAW, you'd probably have to drop it, and let your teammate pick it up. However, I'd be fine with making it a standard action to either give or take an item from a willing teammate. I'll grab Kyeudo's attention.

[Kyeudo]

GM Kyeudo

The unresisted Disarm attempt seems like a good model for taking an item from someone. I think we should go with that.

[Bayar]

K. And a pair of brute gauntlets. Spent 650 GP. Remaining: 174.

The match can begin.
