Gestalt Arena Test Match - Marshall vs Jain

[theterran]

A towering figure in a dark robe enters the room where you have been milling around sizing up the competition. His face is completely obscured by his hood. He raises both hands to get your attention and speaks in a deep voice.
Sam, Camael. You have been chosen to fight. Prepare yourselves!
With that he brings his hands down and the two of you find yourself transported to the arena

OOC:
You've got time for one swift action and one standard action before you get transported in case you need to adopt a stance or activate an item.

On the map, green is open terrain, yellow is difficult terrain, red/brown is the cliffs (10ft, Climb DC20, blocks LoS). Arena has a 60 foot ceiling.

Opening post should have an initiative roll, anything you said after he called your name and what, if anything you did with the 'surprise round' before being transported. After that, start fighting in initiative order.


((For simplicities sake, you start in A40 and I'll Start in AN1...that work?))

[Adumbration]

I believe that makes it my turn. Very well... I believe that we do not have LoS, due to that nasty cliff in front of you.

Actions:

Spoiler

Show

Activate Boots of Speed, free action. Fly to the height of 45 ft, remaining in the same spot. Ready an action to fire upon LoS.

If you at any point come from behind the cliff, I believe we will have LoS, in which case you can open the spoiler. (Even thought it contains some other information as well).

Your turn.

[theterran]

Crap...add +2 to all of those rolls...forgot my charging bonus

[Adumbration]

I believe the DC to pin-point an invisible character is a flat 40, regardless of your hide check.

A creature can generally notice the presence of an active invisible creature within 30 feet with a DC 20 Spot check. The observer gains a hunch that “something’s there” but can’t see it or target it accurately with an attack. A creature who is holding still is very hard to notice (DC 30). An inanimate object, an unliving creature holding still, or a completely immobile creature is even harder to spot (DC 40). It’s practically impossible (+20 DC) to pinpoint an invisible creature’s location with a Spot check, and even if a character succeeds on such a check, the invisible creature still benefits from total concealment (50% miss chance).

Your attacks only negate dexterity to AC, yes?

EDIT: Which would mean that only attacks that exceed 38 would hit.

AC breakdown:

Spoiler

Show

10 + 10 armor + 12 Wis + 4 Def + 1 NA + 1 Dodge.

[theterran]

Only 1 Crit

Confirm - (1d20+21)[30]
Damage - (1d6+6)[12]

(You loose a level for each crit)

(edit)

Again, forgot the Charging bonus

[theterran]

Your attacks only negate dexterity to AC, yes?

Yes, just Dex.

[Adumbration]

I take 10 damage, am I correct? Is it my turn now?

[theterran]

I forgot the charging bonus on the Crit Confirm as well...would that make it hit?

If so you loose a level.

[Adumbration]

No. The AC without Dex is 38, I believe.

[theterran]

Then it's 9 damage...

[theterran]

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get your AC that high?

[Adumbration]

Then it's my turn. A 5-foot 'step' back and here we go...

A flurry of gleaming arrows of force materialize on Jain's fingertips and shoot forward to stab you.

Attack #1:
(1d20+35)[48]
Damage #1:
(1d20+22)[40]

Attack #2:
(1d20+35)[55]
Damage #2:
(1d20+22)[37]

Attack #3:
(1d20+35)[44]
Damage #3:
(1d20+22)[40]

Attack #4:
(1d20+30)[34]
Damage #1:
(1d20+22)[42]

Attack #5:
(1d20+30)[49]
Damage #5:
(1d20+22)[34]

Also, each arrow is Wounding, and if memory serves correct, deals 1 point of Con damage. And due to Seeking, concealment is negated.

[Adumbration]

Damnit, sorry, wrote 1d20 instead of 1d8 on damage. Fixing that right away.

[Adumbration]

Damage #1:
(1d8+22)[28]

Damage #2:
(1d8+22)[29]

Damage #3:
(1d8+22)[26]

Damage #4:
(1d8+22)[29]

Damage #5:
(1d8+22)[28]

And I think I saw a critical there...
Confirm:
(1d20+35)[52]
Damage:
(2d8+44)[48]

EDIT:

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get your AC that high?

You can look into the AC break-down in the spoiler at one of my posts back there after the match.
