Arena Tournament, Round 71: James Blonde vs. Lance

[HCL]

Your dagger is no longer a melee weapon when you throw it at me, it becomes a projectile, so I don't intend to make a fortitude save

anyway you triggered my ready action when you took an action in my LOS

(1d20)[2] I think I only will hit on a natural 20 since I am fighting defensively
(1d6+6)[8]

[Sallera]

Actually, due to the specific wording of the feat, I believe we decided a little while back that once the ability has been used, the weapon is imbued, and it doesn't matter what you do with it.

Edit:

Oddly, that seems to work by the RAW. They only must be wielded as melee weapons when you activate the feat, as it says "attack roll" and not "melee attack roll" in the feat discription.

Make your fort save.

Just as a sidenote, how did you reactivate death devotion and quicken a true strike with only 4 turning attempts left?

Its 1/2 level + Cha mod + 10 and since your level 1 that should round down to 15

Fortitude (1d20+4)[6]

pretty sure I don't need to make this roll but we can sort that out afterwards. rofl

[HCL]

Nope, I guess that true strike was legit. Sadly I used up my good attack roll back in round 12, GG

[HCL]

Hold on a second, back in round 11 I did not attack right away, that was a readied action to attack when you were in LOS (which would have gone off before you could run out of LOS). So that would have been my next attack roll.

[Tanaric]

Okay, what? Can you explain that last bit better, please? It sounds like you're trying to go back and reuse an attack roll.

[Sallera]

...I'm not sure what you're trying to argue. Clarify?

[HCL]

I think I just confused myself. I said "ready an action" to attack back in turn 11, but I rolled the attack roll right away because I thought it would go off before his readied action to move.

And then you confused me because you said his readied action went off before mine so I kept playing.

[Tanaric]

So... you want to reuse that roll, after you already rolled your attack for this? I'm almost positive that doesn't fly.

[HCL]

All I know is that I am confused, got greedy, and have been cheesed out. A ref can take a look at what I wrote back in turn 11, and decide what the hell happened and call the match.

[Sallera]

High Ref Sallera

I see nothing wrong with your round 11 turn, and as such...

James puts the lie to notions of bravery being a virtue, and Lance becomes a corpse.

[Tanaric]

Turtle, turtle, dagger!

Good game, even if most of it was just me running away.

Edit: And technically, he becomes a wight.

[HCL]

I still don't get how you can use a melee ability it with a projectile weapon. You can just call a longbow an improvised club and say you imbue it, then shoot death arrows. It really isn't a restriction at all.

[HCL]

Just for fun I am going to pretend the match isn't over, and try to charge you. Gliding charge to 10 feet above you, then fall. Oh, forgot to add my +2 attack for charging, doesn't matter.
