Between your Dex drain and my entanglement, he should be pretty easy to hit, assuming he isn't dead.

By my calculations, the Cornugon is outside the range of orb of electricity.

It is a close range spell, so for Vist the range would be 25+40=65 feet.

But Vist is only 40 feet up from the ground, while the Corugon is standing atop the portal tree which is 100 feet high (as detailed on the legend), meaning there is also a 60 feet vertical difference besides the 60 feet horizontal difference. Meaning the actual distance between Vist and the Cornugon is some 85 feet.

I guess that also means Vist was out of range for the Stun Ray last turn, but I'll let that go since I missed it myself and would mean an heavy redo of the turn.

I guess I should see if I can area-bombard the Bone Devils.

Actually, I mathed it out again.  Where Vist 5' steps to, its 40' in the XY plane.  Add in 35' of vertical (assuming the Cornugon is 10' tall, I'm aiming for the top half).  According to Pythagreus, that's 40^2 + 35^2 = 2825.  The square root of that is 53'.

If Vist 5' steps "up" at a diagonal, putting him 45' above the ground (allowed with Perfect Fly) gives us 40' in the XY plane and 55' vertical.  Thats 68' by Pythagrean.

Vist is Caster Level 21 (16 + Archmage 2x + Orange Stone + Ring of Arcane Might + Craft Magic Tattoo).  That's 5 feet/2 CLs which is 21/2*5=50 (rounded down).  Plus the base of 25' gives us 75' of range.  75' > 68'...just in range!

Being an air elemental sometimes has it's perks.

EDIT: Fix't the math, forgot the Cornugon was on top of the pillar, not on the ground.

If D&D implemented the taxi driver way, things would be so much simpler to work out. @_@

In that case the Cornugon is out since all that Dex drain seriously lowered its touch AC.

Out as in dead?  Or what?  Did I need both Orbs?  Cause there is a devil in my face who could become more intimately acquainted with the 2nd shot if it wasn't...

Never mind.  Just assuming Vist can make the trivial knowledge check to know about the Regeneration, Vist is gonna assume that the Cornugon isn't dead.

I'm guessing this is probably referring to  the simpler method subsequent D&D editions went with for determining movement distance, where each square of movement is 5-feet regardless of whether or not its diagonal. I've never heard that referred to as "taxi driver" though, so I could be wrong.

Anyway, I feel kind of useless wasting my turn hitting an already-down enemy with just one attack so it stays down, given that I'm built around doing multiple attacks. Should I do the full attack routine anyway just to pretend I'm more useful this round? :P

This won't be an issue if I ever get to Paragon level 12, since I can just use a free action for a single attack at that point. That's several levels away, though. :(


It won't really matter anyway, since I've still got to get near an enemy so I'd only get to make 3 attacks maximum anyway this turn. Time to stab and run.

Nobody's posted in a week.  You guys gonna take your turns or do I have to finish off all of the devils on my own?  I'm not sharing the XP!

Sorry, I've been distracted by my procrastination, finishing Dark Souls II before III comes out, and  having deadlines to meet. Still got one of those, in fact.

Sorry, this is largely on me. Been busy with grad school and such lately, among other things.

Entering threatened squares never provokes AoOs.  Its the leaving that usually does.

Yeah,  but moving through them also does so I like to play it safe (sometimes). :D

Most likely I'll end up adjacent anyway.

I believe Aeloru hasn't taken actions for this turn yet.

Well, yes, but I was wondering if the amount of targets had changed.
