Gestalt Arena practice - "Shadow Blade" Jack Vs Stella

[Heliomance]

Hey, thanks. You just gave me an idea for how I might actually stand a chance against Stella if Etherscale ever goes up against her.

[Talic]

A chance? I'm plinking with a peashooter against this guy's cannon.

EDIT: You are aware that disarm checks are opposed attack rolls, right? Your bonus should be higher than 11, I think.

[KevLar]

True, but even so, it can't beat your +29. (Natural 1s and 20s don't apply to opposed rolls, so you don't even need to roll.)

With Free Reconnoiter, I try a 2nd time to pinpoint you as a free action.
spot (1d20+36)[43]
listen (1d20+33)[45]
(I haven't included the penalty due to distance.)

My round ends.

PS- And I'm not a guy, dammit.

[Talic]

I was referring to your character, though if "Shadow Blade" Jack isn't a guy, her parents really must not have liked her. lol.

Cease Telekinesis. Cooldown: (1d4)[3] rounds until I can use it again.

Full round action: Charge.

(1d20+28)[39]
If hit: (1d4+2)[5]
If threat: (1d20+28)[31]
If Crit: (1d4+2)[5]

I am pinpointed, adjacent to you. Note that picking up your weapon from where it floats provokes an AoO, not that my attacks are of any consequence.

EDIT: Add another +2 to those, included the "I'm invisible" bonus, but not the charge bonus. If your AC's the same, it should be 5 damage. Woo hoo. Another 30 hits and I win.

[KevLar]

Ow!
(Yes, it hit.)

Stella (Jack was the other guy ) ignores the sword.
Spring attack dance, attack, move 10 ft to the left. Foaming with rage.

The attack is a d6 slam attack, provided by the half vampire template - which I never expected to use. So no AoO.

Spoiler

Show

free action: divine might
Smite with PA +5, Seeking Smite and Ruby Nightmare Blade maneuver.
13 turn attempts left. 5 smite left.

attack: (1d20+40)[56]
damage: (1d6+31)[34]
This attack ignores any miss chance.

Concentration check: (1d20+41)[50]
If that beats your AC, the attack does double damage.

[Talic]

That's match. Nice. :) I don't think he'd last long against my whale, but he's got my ghost's number. Time to modify my ghost, lol.

[KevLar]

Sorry again, remove 2 from the attack roll. (Gosh, this is confusing.)

[Heliomance]

Feel like taking on Etherscale? You'll probably win, but I have a couple ideas.

[KevLar]

Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm glad this is over.
(The game was awesome, it's just that playing hide-and-seek in PbP format can last a whole day, as we both saw.)

I learned something, too. Get a locked gauntlet for that sword, ASAP.

(Say, can I wear a non-magical gauntlet over gloves of Dexterity? Other alternatives?)

[KevLar]

Heliomance, if you were referring to me, I'm terribly sorry but I'm done for today. Spent. Finito. Kaput!
But I'll gladly play with you tomorrow.

(And if you weren't referring to me, err... do go on.. don't mind me.)

[Talic]

Kev. Just saying, Locked Gauntlet won't really help, though I think there are Weapon crystals that do the same thing as a Lock Gauntlet.

[KevLar]

Locked Gauntlet would give a +10 to oppose Disarm. It's not auto-success, but it's something.

I really can't use a crystal, because Truedeath crystal is absolutely necessary. If I swap, I'll have to give Ghost Touch to the sword with a +1 property. That's too expensive. Or too much hassle, maybe.

[Talic]

Well, if you ghost touch, you might as well ghost strike for crits.

Just saying, there's still sunder, adn ghost touch weapons are your only link to corporeal foes. I mean, there's a touch attack, but that's not very much.

[KevLar]

I haven't focused on crits and I have nothing to boost them. I wanted Ghost Touch to hit corporeal creatures when I manifest without a miss chance, not battle ethereal ones - I can do that anyway.

As for the potential Ghost Touch Sundering weapon that may come my way... well, nothing is full-proof, is it? :)
I found out, much to my astonishment, that divine might, maneuvers and smite can give me a chance even without the sword. I'll take the chance, I think.

(Unless they are corporeal undead or constructs. Then I'll surrender, I guess.)

[Talic]

True. Nothing's perfect.
