Listener, which one are you grappling? I think 1 and 3 are dead or downed. Rider 2? Or one of the mounts? I think we may have acquired a bunch of mounts...

I'll engage in the IC in a little bit, need to re-read and see what is going on, see if its my turn, thread is getting confusing, just like real battle.

The_listener, if I understand correctly, you grapple R2 off his mount, side step to T15 and leave R2 at T14 as a shield? or are you just keeping him grappled between you and the mounts?

Sneak attack damage should certainly apply, Linguz. Whenever enemy is flanked or denied dex to AC, which paralyzed certainly is.

does having 0 Dex count as being denied a Dex bonus to AC...?

The_listener, unless I'm mistaken, you can't 5 ft step on difficult terrain, however you still have your move action so it's kind of moot. Might incur an attack of opportunity thought.

Anytime you're unable to move or act you're effectivly denied your dex to AC. You can certainly sneak attack him.

And same thing for Rick, moving to P 8 will cause an attack of opportunity.

Yea, I tend to do that as well. At least, I am doing it with a friend in a solo-campaign. Whenever he'd provoke AoO or goes back on something he said elsewhere, I ask him and get confirmation that he knows that.

yeah pretty sure it would be even if he wasn't wearing an armour... As general rule, I find the dice roller loves me when rolling stats, hates me when playing... I should just make a character that never rolls any dice.

I would suggest DFA for that. Seriously, they only make other people roll. Ever. Its kinda silly actually.

Horay for natural 1's!

Incidentally, drawing a weapon is normally a move action, unless BAB is +1 or higher and combined with a normal move, in which case it isn't. But drawing ammunition like arrows is a free action.

Would you say drawing a throwing dagger is a free action? If so, Petra picks up her crossbow again (move action to pick something up from the ground). It not, she'll stand above it.

Let me show you something from another thrown weapon, a shuriken:

And that's about all I have to say on this matter, as it's just to help the DM decide. Some thrown weapons are drawn like ammo.

I'd say if it's drawn for the purpose of being thrown, it's a free action, if it's drawn for the purpose of stabbing it's not.

There you go. Linguz's google-fu gives us RAW precedent.

OracleofSilence, I was reading the DFA handbook to get a better view of the class.

Quote:
I often think the best organic representation of a DnD mecha would be a strongheart halfling or Jermlaine DFA strapped to the back of a Goliath Crusader/Dungeoncrasher. Cannons and crushing!
This was mentioned :P Now I want to play that :P
