Arena Tournament, Round 46: Jeananne vs. Chainy

[dman11235]

Yeah, I asked in the waiting room. Waiting on a ref answering a question.

[dman11235]

Right, got a response, and highest modifier wins in case of a tie. Morbius has all the quotes in the waiting room if you want. Your turn.

[Fishy]

It would appear that Jeananne has gone splat.

Jeananne Round 5 pt 1

Attempt to stand up from prone, provoke an AoO.

[dman11235]

(1d20+9)[29]
(2d4+4)[9]
(1d20+9)[28]

I included the prone penalties here.

Continue, if alive.

[dman11235]

Or don't continue on a freakin' 20 followed by a 19 on attack rolls. That's 18 damage, not even Steely Resolve is saving you for a round here.

EDIT: Oh wait, curses! You're a freakin' elan! I hate elans....I hate them all....At least I'm killing your PP for the day. Let's see, unless I missed my math, you've spent 3 of your 11 on my first hit, so that's 16 points of damage you can still avoid. Even blowing all of them you'll be at 6 HP after your turn is up (4 damage off the first hit, 2 off this after you delayed damage pool kicks in). And you'll need a minimum of 5 to guarantee being conscious after your turn (well, disabled), so I'm betting you'll spend 6 of your PPs, am I right? Only leaves you with 2 left....

[Fishy]

Swift action: Actually, it's 7. Elan Resilience cuts that attack down to a measly 4 damage.

Standard action: Smacky.

Dman you don't just double the damage dice on a critical hit, you have to roll for damage again. So please fix that before continuing so that we know exactly how much damage Jeananne took on the AoO.

[dman11235]

Oh. I was told a loooong time ago that crits were double damage. Like, previous waiting room long ago. Oh well, here's the damage: (2d4+5)[10]

High Ref Morbius

I probably was not involved in this discussion...

Critical Hits
When you make an attack roll and get a natural 20 (the d20 shows 20), you hit regardless of your target’s Armor Class, and you have scored a threat. The hit might be a critical hit (or "crit"). To find out if it’s a critical hit, you immediately make a critical roll—another attack roll with all the same modifiers as the attack roll you just made. If the critical roll also results in a hit against the target’s AC, your original hit is a critical hit. (The critical roll just needs to hit to give you a crit. It doesn’t need to come up 20 again.) If the critical roll is a miss, then your hit is just a regular hit.

A critical hit means that you roll your damage more than once, with all your usual bonuses, and add the rolls together. Unless otherwise specified, the threat range for a critical hit on an attack roll is 20, and the multiplier is ×2.

[Fishy]

Could you slow down, please? The walls of dice, preemptive calculations of my death and unlabeled rounds are throwing me off. :/ Plus, your attack missed, so I was fine either way.

I'd like to get a ref in here just to make sure I have everything calculated right, and then I'll take my turn.

Okay, rewinding to Jeananne Round 5 Part 1,

Jeananne is at 8/12 Hit Points, 8/12 Power Points, and 0/5 Damage Pool.

She provokes an AoO, which hits, crits, and deals 19 damage.

She spends 7 power points, preventing 14 points of that damage, which takes her to 8/12hp, 1/12pp, and 5/5dp.

Fast forwarding to Part 2, she initiates Stone Bones, which hits, martial Spirit heals her 2 HP, which brings her to 10/12hp, 1/12pp, 5/5dp.

Then, Stone Bones wears off, Crusader's Strike is granted, and the damage pool empties, putting Jeananne at 5/12hp, 1/12pp, 0/5dp.

Then, Chainy's turn happens, he swings and misses.

Does that all seem right?

[dman11235]

Oh......but that was a 16 this morning! I swear! Take your turn.

I appears that I am done, unless that ref thing in the waiting room does something that keeps me alive.

[Fishy]

Looks like it. Good game, though!

And I like your build: Extra attacks from Improved Trip plus Martial Spirit looks like good times all around. Can I ask why you took Extra Granted Maneuver, though, since we both griped about the maneuvers available for a 1st level crusader? Why not Combat Reflexes, or Martial Study: Mighty Throw?

@dman
The discussion would only make you fall faster actually

Jeananne is the winner of this exciting ToB combat and recieves her prizes

[dman11235]

Because I was stupid and thought that refreshing my maneuvers faster would be a good thing when I only need to try to trip. Should have Combat Reflexes though. It would probably be better. My turn for a question: why feint?

Oh, and tripping+crusader=win. The only thing more winsome is if I could be a wolf (or worg, but wolfs are better). Free trip attempt after a maneuver? Yes please!

[Fishy]

Because I had literally nothing else to do, and playing the long odds was better than just plain wasting an action?

[dman11235]

But....

This attack must be made on or before your next turn.

So....just to make me look stupid by looking?

[Fishy]

Well, I would have then tried to hit you *on* my next turn, and gotten a +2 bonus to hit for my troubles.
