3.7 Split the Party

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

"But then the Dragonborn took a deep breath and exhaled over those that had surrounded him. His breath made garlic breath smell pleasant in comparison. Harknail, Reusol, and Blastishy were sickened by the dragonborn's poisonous breath. Which was interesting since Neither Harknail nor Blastishy needed to breathe."

I take it that this is just flavor text then? cause normally i would have seen it as that, but u did use what sounded as a key word and sounded like a condition, like slowed etc. if this is not the cause sry for the miss understanding and no this was the right game that i meant to post in. sry for the confusion.

Ah, now I understand. Yes, it was just flavor text for taking poison damage, not a condition. I was confused because the other game seems to be using sickened as a condition and I had seen that more recently.

I don't see anything about sickened in either the 3.5 PHP or the 3.0 DMG.

(It is a real condition in 3.5, you'll find it in the SRD - a side effect of the cloudy conjuration feat. I may start putting conditions in a different colour to help separate them from flavour text)

Thanks for the info. I only have the PHB for 3.5 and not much more for 3.0, so I'd never seen that feat. I'm liking how it's playing out though, making this wizard seem even more mysterious and dangerous and necromantic than is normal for a wizard

Meanwhile, back in my game: Tag Blastishy, Llewelyn, Reusol, and Harknail.

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

sry joe but another thing came up, and it does affect what i do next.
joe i don't know what Blastishy's life is at. and these # for damage seem off for they are rolling d20 for damage. as seen
Atk vs Ac, Damage: (1d20+8=22, 2d6+4=10)
Harknail,Claros,Reusol,Blastishy, Damage: (1d20+7=18, 1d20+7=10, 1d20+7=24, 1d20+7=20, 1d6+4=7)
is this correct? for this does determine my next action, for if was true then he has to heal a lot of people and himself. he would be at 17 hp just from that hit alone and bloodied. sry for all the confusion.

[harknail]

I updated the iPlay4E health status here
But you can't see the damage unless you've sent me you google account so I can add you to the campaign.

Summery, no one is yet bloodied. Harknail and Llewelyn are the most injured (26 of 43 for Harknail, 20 of 32 for Llewelyn). Blastishy and Reusol have each taken 7 points of damage. I don't think anyone is in need of healing at this point.

Those D20's were to see if the attack hit, the damage was only a d6 or 2.

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

Ok then hear is what i would like to do for this round. Blastishy will move to 20 E and his spear glows blue once more. striking at his he uses to much force for his own liking sacrificing accuracy for power, he should have known better. but what is done is done. he hopes his friends can finish the foe off. Blastishy in his mind will say to Harknail "Wait for me to get behind him before you strike again" He is doing it his mind for the dragonborn seam to know common. movements in battle are far better if they are unknown to the enemy and known by your allies.
[dice=20]+8 vs Ac= 12
damage [dice=8]+4= 11
Harknail will get +3 to hit and damage on his next turn.
as will Reusol.[rand=180230232886970043160552361514419373018226120620977974316275212914]

Reusol

See the only real avenue to my current target mostly cut off i step past the shard mind and warforged to see if i can get around these boulders. Getting to A22 hopefuly i see a new target, unable to reach him quiet yet i unleash a bolt of eldritch energy, my skills at such ranged magic woefuly inadequate.

Eldritch bolt vs ref
[dice=20] +2 = 13

[dice=10] +7 = 8

"i will be your opponent lizard..." trying to make it see like the shot was just to get his attemtion.[rand=5005567027255893472757391864433908987776283174753780381397344172]

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

um i think your forgot to add in the +'s Blastishy gave. you you can add +3 to attack and damage. so that would be a total of 16 vs ref to hit and 11 damage if it hits. Also as i know there is no longer a -4 to shooting into close combat. I give it to all who were next to me, and you were. so you can use the + on any target not just the one i try to attack, so you do in fact get the + to the one your trying to hit.

Blastishy's attack had much magical power behind it, but the agile brigand was able to avoid the blast which hit the rock behind him.

Blastishy has to hit in order to grant a bonus to adjacent allies, and the bonus is only +1 to hit, not +3. The +3 only applies to damage. And since he missed, no bonus

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

I Reread the power and ya it is only +1 to hit and only on a hit. O well i hope he still hit anyway .

[harknail]

It looks like Reusol would much prefer melee combat. From A22 he is at perfect charging range, and his Erdrich Strike can be used during a charge. Would you like to change that Eldritch blast into a charing Erdrich Strike?

[nobu]

Reusol

omg yes, i forgot about charges, +1 more to hit when you charge right? Its been a while since i actualy played 4.0 dnd.
Did you want to keep the same rolls then?

11 +10 vs AC =21?

[dice=12] +14 = 23[rand=7586097975727171562770245363935858464394765906046842418424785137]

+14 = 23

It's +1 to hit, not +1 to damage. But either way, #3 is dead.

Reusol's Blade of Annihilation did just that when combined with an Erdrich charge, the foe was annihilated and left as a dead body on the field.

[harknail]

The remaining brigand noticed the Drake rider falling and called out, "I could REALLY use some archery support down here!"

[harknail]

Tag Claros, Llewelyn, and Harknail. It's been a week so I'll NPC these characters if they don't get moves posted before I can get to it (which will probably be sometime this weekend)

[Bennegar Moore]

As a second brigand fell to the party's attacks, Claros suddenly tasted bitter iron in his mouth. As he vanished into the Ranger's shadow and rematerialized next to the shardmind, he realized that he had begun biting his lower lip in anticipation, distorting his face into a strange mixture of a grin and a snarl. This cultist fool had to die.

It was beginning to go beyond the simple dangers of battle. Claros could FEEL his enemy's death in his own heart. He could see the black shadows of his target's lifeblood in the mist of his shroud as it descended, spewing from the imagined gash that the assassin was planning on leaving in that scaly hide...

He brought his Deathstalker Longsword up above his head, still stained scarlet with the blood of his last victim, the blood-soaked tip shining almost as bright as his eyes as it pointed skyward. The shroud around the dragonborn flashed, and Claros closed his eyes, the image of the battlefield frozen in his mind's eye.

He could still see the brigand, some five feet in front of him, each and every weak point laid open, begging to be ripped into. As the blade whipped downward, Claros bit even deeper into his lower lip, sending as much power into the arcing blade of his attack as he could. He snapped his eyes open before the blade of shadows reached his target, and his eyes quickly adjusted to reveal the damage done by the attack that he knew had hit his target square on...

The brigand had started to laugh at the silly attack that couldn't possibly reach him. He had gotten no further than a smile when the attack hit him after all. The smile slipped from his lips, he dropped to his knees, then collapsed face forward on the ground, dead as a doornail.
