OOC Discussion and Table Talk
Re: OOC Discussion and Table Talk
Good to have you back!
One quibble: please put bonuses in your rolls instead of adjusting THAC0. For example, I think Khogeki has a THAC0 of 10 and is wielding a +3 sword. I'd like that rolled as "Jade Destiny: (Thac0:10): To hit: [1d20+3]". For reasons I won't get into, the unmodified THAC0 matters.

Re: OOC Discussion and Table Talk
Ok. Will fix that in the macro.
Does that mean I just rolled a 19?

Re: OOC Discussion and Table Talk
You rolled a 16, which is a modified 19. Under normal circumstances.
Re: OOC Discussion and Table Talk
One more adjustment: For some reason, I thought that Malibran had a ring of fire resistance. Without one, he would have failed his save, taken 25 points of damage, and I'd be rolling to see which of his items was destroyed. But he was also plunging into the water when the fireball hit, so I'm going to say he was under water when it went off and he took no damage. I've edited the post to bump Malibran's HP by 6.
Don't mistake that for kindness; I just don't want to roll item saving throws.
Also: I'm playing that item saving throws are only needed when the character fails his saving throw.
I have moves so far from Malibran, Tanner, and the Unseen Servant. Is everyone else waiting to see how Malibran's wish turns out? The monsters probably won't be.

Re: OOC Discussion and Table Talk
Honestly I'm trying to formulate a plan but coming up short from this side of the wall of fire.

Re: OOC Discussion and Table Talk
For malibran - is he now in melee distance to any creature in the vicinity? He'll need to pick up his shield and mace that he dropped. Is he able to pick these up and attack (or cast a spell) in this round?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Re: OOC Discussion and Table Talk
I'll say that Malibran's mace dropped right below him, but the shield, being a big flat thing not that different from a sled, drifted about 20' away. He can pick up the mace and attack or cast this round, but retrieving his shield would be his only action.

A couple of notes:
Whoops. I forgot about this. I'll update the post when I get a chance, but please (dice roll) consider Tanner to be standing on the ledge at the start of this round.Urson wrote:Tanner

All the water is gone, including the water around Hallagad. The room which was a great big pool of water is now like a big empty 15'-deep swimming pool.AleBelly wrote:Hallagad grunts as he tries to simultaneously hold his breath and free himself

Re: OOC Discussion and Table Talk
Yeah, he was holding his breath due to the creature's stench.

Zero problem. I figured it was either that or the Helm wasn't going to work in Hades.

If Rool polymorphs into a huge spider, can he use his skills to move silently/hide in shadows?
Re: OOC Discussion and Table Talk
Ok, for the oldest-school grognard in the group:
How do I calculate THAC0? I've never really used it.

Re: OOC Discussion and Table Talk
If you have the DMG, just look up your PC's level and see what the required score is to hit AC 0.
I don't have my books handy, but I have Tanner's THAC0 listed as 4 here.

Re: OOC Discussion and Table Talk
Sorry, folks. I was at work until 10:00 tonight, so no update today. Hopefully tomorrow!
Re: OOC Discussion and Table Talk
Did you catch my question about Rool polymorphing?
Re: OOC Discussion and Table Talk
Oh, sorry. I'm going to say no. A giant spider is too big to hide well, and moving silently is a skill that doesn't transfer to when the thief has taken a different form.
Re: OOC Discussion and Table Talk
Ok, I'll get things corrected.

Re: OOC Discussion and Table Talk
You didn't forget - I linked to the save in a weird way. Didn't notice until now.Zhym wrote:Combat Round 2
(I forgot that Hallagad also needs to save vs. paralyzation for the stink; please do so for the next round).

Should be
Save vs paralysis [1d20] = 13
Re: OOC Discussion and Table Talk
Oh, good.
BTW, Hallagad can make another strength check. Same as before: roll half his strength or under to break free.

Hi Zhym,
Can the Unseen Servant take mental actions? (ie: can he order his ring to create a gust of wind to drive off the insects now that he's no longer flying?)
Thanks.
