Forgot to roll Divine Surge - (8d8)[46]

[mucco]

Your character needs purple pants.

[Medic!]

Sorry about all the edits and forgot-its, literally just rolled outta bed.

Nothing like blowing a 1/day power on a mook as a catalyst for dice-luck lol

Next round's granteds:
(1d6)[5]
(1d5)[1]
(1d4)[4]
(1d3)[1]

From what I read about spiritual weapon, it is like a spell in terms of how it hits.

This is what I got from it: It's attacks hit based on spell resistance, not attack rolls. And if it fails it is then dispelled.

I could be wrong, if someone actually finds something to contradict this let me know, otherwise that is how Bleerie's spiritual weapon is going to work.

[Archmage1]

If an attacked creature has spell resistance, you make a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) against that spell resistance the first time the spiritual weapon strikes it. If the weapon is successfully resisted, the spell is dispelled. If not, the weapon has its normal full effect on that creature for the duration of the spell.

So it attacks normal AC, but spell resistance on the first attack on a creature can dispel it.

[Allyzedl]

Alright, sounds good then.

[mucco]

Yup, it would be quite a bit stronger the other way - autohit against all targets which have no SR? Considering it can full attack, it could probably be worth one spell level higher.

Thanks to Archmage for clarifying that swiftly.

[Medic!]

Reading the entry, it looks like if something has SR, you check against it the first time you hit the creature, and if it misses it's dispelled, but if you beat the SR you don't have to check SR against it again. Otherwise it uses the caster's BAB+wis mod on attack rolls. The spell's wording is a little wonky in saying it "strikes as a spell" instead of saying "it's a force effect" for DR purposes. Just my take on it.

Critical confirmation roll
Power Attack (-4/+8)(d20+8)[25]
Damage (2d6+24)[28]

Edit: Bonuses from bleerie are not factored in. I may have confirmed it if this ant is blind.

[Allyzedl]

I posted the map, I created it, just forgot to link it.

[Allyzedl]

New round is up.

[Zman]

Are you going to NPC Dramiscius? We are so close to the end of the fight it seems a shame to keep things this held up.

[Allyzedl]

I will in an hour. Then the 24 hour limit will be up.

[Allyzedl]

New round is up.

[Allyzedl]

Everyone gets 3k xp, so everyone except Zaavariel should have a total of 49k xp, and Zaavariel 48k

[Archmage1]

and it is a detect magic fest

[mucco]

I got Abjuration, Conjuration, Enchantment, Evocation and Transmutation on me.

Causing Abjuration and Conjuration on everyone else as well.

[Allyzedl]

Everyone detects magic everywhere! lol. I'll post on the IC thread in the morning. Way too tired to DM right now.

I wish I could just do what I did to Gale the first time she used detect magic, but the magic here isn't that strong.

[mucco]

Ah, we're at a level when that spell isn't very useful anyway... everyone is a christmas tree of magic items.

[Allyzedl]

It would be shocking if there was an NPC that didn't give off any aura from detect magic.

[mucco]

Important and sneaky ones won't because of Nondetection.

[Allyzedl]

I guess I lied, Bailey responded.

Ask away at him if you please. I'd rather have long posts than conversations that last a few days or a week in RL. As I suspect most people would as well.

[Archmage1]

so... If Gale used the monocle on an item under detect magic, what happens? It never says that the detect magic has to succeed, just that it is cast. Besides, Gale should be able to take 20 on the nondetection check, so long as there are no time requirements :)

[Tharione]

mostly detecting magic for two reasons:
someone radiating transmutation
or someone radiating illusion

the latter especially is troubling.

[Archmage1]

well, at this level, perhaps someone really enjoys combining invisibility and silent image...

[Allyzedl]

For detect magic on Bailey, all that you can detect is that his cloak has magical properties.

[Archmage1]

well, if you want them, spellcraft check on it
(1d20+16)[31]

[Tharione]

/wouldn't be scanning an invisible person for shapechanging

and an illusion like silent image would be a good thing to know someone is casting yes.

[Archmage1]

er... That knowledge check directly contradicts observed events. Shouldn't a critical failure be a bit more... believable?
contradictions: Ants were incapable of flying, they mostly ignored Gale.

I guess that Gale would believe her memories are false, as the check contradicts known facts.

[Allyzedl]

Even with a nat 20, you can't have knowledge on every creature that lives in the shadow plane.
