Now we need Kong's roll.

Let's see if he can get a roll above 10. 
So far, we've rolled (before modifiers) 2, 3, 4, 5 and 9. 
After modifiers: 2, 3, 6, 7, and 13. 

...

[Flay Crimsonwind]

How does a natural 20 sound to you?

[Anomander]

Nice roll man.
Don't forget to state your position on the map, guys.

[ariasderros]

"AH" umm... "22"?
One square right of the bottom left square. (In case I didn't line up right.)

I would have been walking most of the time, but Blimp-ing some of the time, just to see over the grass.
Sooo: 1=I am floating; 2=I am walking.

Rolled 1d2 : 2, total 2

And Osle, any specific changes to how the grass affects Kurt, given that he's tiny? I'm mostly concerned about cover and concealment for me or the enemies, as well as whether it would impact his ground movement.

[oslecamo]

For simplicity's sake, count yourself as medium for cover/concealment purposes. Tiny size already has built-in modifiers in the form of attack/AC/Hide bonus. Your movement speed is unnafected.

[ariasderros]

For simplicity's sake,

[Nanshork]

I think Jeremy would be in AH23. 

[sirpercival]

Zax is at AF24.

[Sneaky_Sable]

I can see Rabbit being somewhat in the front, so let's say AF22 for positioning. Though with the terrible initiative roll I got, the action will be over before I have a chance to go.

[Flay Crimsonwind]

AH24. KONG SMASH!

[ariasderros]

We roll as a group, we take our turn as a group. Its our turn - their turn -our turn - their turn.
No need to worry about "initiative order".

Ah, yes, I knew I was forgeting something.

Since PbP combat is quite slow, all members on each side all act on the same iniative. At the start of combat everybody rolls iniative and the side with better one goes first.

If I understand correctly, that means, thanks to Kong (Flay), we go first.

[oslecamo]

^That would be correct.

[ariasderros]

Looking through My Kirby, I'm thinking about some changes.

Changing Inhale as follows:

Inhale (Ex):

(click to show/hide)

As a standard action a Kirby can inhale large amounts of air. This grants the Kirby the Full of Air status, which is required for the use of some of its abilities. While Full of Air, the Kirby is holding its breath and is counted as having prepared to do so, see Suffocation page 304 of the DMG for details.
As the Kirby grows and develops, his ability to inhale the volume of air improves in speed. At 4th level, Inhale becomes a Move action. At 7th level, Inhale becomes a Swift action.

And also, making Deep Breath occur at level 11.

These changes serving two purposes:
(A) making it so there are no dead levels.
(B) making it so that there isn't such a huge gap of power between level 9 and 10, when Inhale becomes swift.

Also, a third change, to Inhale Enemy:
Making it so that non-flying enemies get a +2 to their saves (cumulative with the stability bonus, which would total to +6), instead of cutting the DC in half.
That was inherited from Umbral Blot, and is way to much of a cut to the effectiveness.


Thoughts?

[ariasderros]

Want me to roll to hit the ground? I mean, knowing how the MinMax Board roller works, I'll probably Crit Fail and sneak attack God or something, but ...

Player: I shoot at the ground.
DM: You fail to hit the ground, but you deal massive damage to Shar. Her sister seizes the opportunity to end their feud for once and all.
Player: wait, What? Ignoring the rest how how'd that even happen, or how'd I do that much damage, I thought we were using the Oerth Pantheon?
DM: We are. You missed so badly you caused a continuity error, as only with a manipulation of quantum reality could that shot have missed.

[oslecamo]

 

But  just to make it clear, you usually can't declare the whole ground as your target, just a 5-feet section. So if you miss one patch you can hit another. Where your ally is standing.

Thoughts?

Sounds good.

Well if I critically fail, sure, but otherwise I guess I either miss the proper 5' square, or accidentally hit the cloud golem looming over us.

[sirpercival]

or accidentally hit the cloud golem looming over us.

[ariasderros]

I'll wait until after this battle to implement.

[Sneaky_Sable]

<Artificer Venkman> We've been going about this all wrong. This Cloud Golem's okay! He's got ranks in Profession: Sailor, he's in Eberron; we get this guy laid, we won't have any trouble!

[oslecamo]

Before I can advance this turn I noticed something

Nanshork:Your survival doesn't reveal anything that Rabbit didn't remember, besides that Wolvos aren't creatures found in Earth, and the specimens you see should be controleable by a trainer of your skill level. However since that's all a free action, want to do anything else?
