Let me guess, that's your kobold, and you're trying to lead us into an attack/trap? :P

What was the joke about catgirls and D&D physics again? :smirk easiest kill in the arena.We'll see about that.
Anyway, for such cuteness, I'll kill you last if you stay out my way.Don't get fooled. She's a beast. :smirk
We'll see about that.:facepalm That comment was based on the saying "Every time you try to apply physics to a fantasy setting, God kills a catgirl."
Don't get fooled. She's a beast. :smirkNo, beasts haven't existed since 3.0. :smirk

KNEW IT! Should I post mine..? :huh
See, you'd think I'd be worried about the giant anthro-whale. No, no, I'm worried about the tiny little spider. What is he plotting? He looks like he's plotting something. Doom, perhaps? With a side of bacon?

With a side of bacon?Actually, I'm freaking out about the empty pedestal right now. After that, the kobold is the main threat, followed by wob nair.
Can we get a list of who the players are in this game? Clearly we have:
sirp
shiki
impk
venn
jojo
phae
It seems there are 11 of us, unless one or more of them are NPCs. Who else is involved?
OK to yell stuff at the other characters at this point?
Having seen a bunch of his creations I fear PhaedrusXY. I don't know which character he's playing but ... (shudder).
Also, I think the empty pedestal is the most dangerous entity here. I'm actually having some trouble remaining rational due to it.
Well, what if it's just literally an empty platform? The Wizard could be messing with everyone. He seems the sort for psychological games.No, he wants a proper fight. His goal is to see who is best at fighting, not play petty tricks on us.
I think it's a pixie.If that's the case, we'll see him when the AMF's turn on. However, I doubt 4 LA would be a good idea in this game, considering that the DR 10 is far less valuable than normal.
Maybe it's an Alchemically Invisible creature (PF template)?
I have pics for the anthro whale if the player is interested:(click to show/hide)
Curse my lack of automatic and bonus languages... Wait, what happens if your Int bonus is higher than your number of bonus languages? I might be able to get common, if overflow bonus languages can be (any).
Race And Languages
All characters know how to speak Common. A dwarf, elf, gnome, half-elf, half-orc, or halfling also speaks a racial language, as appropriate. A character who has an Intelligence bonus at 1st level speaks other languages as well, one extra language per point of Intelligence bonus as a starting character.

Quillwraith, Innabinder, TheAbyssDragon, FlayCrimsonwind, HeadofVecna.
Will we have any kind of indication that there's an AMF active or do the characters have to figure that out themselves by noticing that some of their abilities don't work?
I'm really interested to see how the tiny spider plans on protecting the pile o' goodies. He's got to have some kind of secret.Let's play a game called reach into the pile of treasure without 'finding' the spider. Wouldn't it be terrible if you put some armor on with the spider inside? Considering my character can actually fit in pockets, I wouldn't count on finding him before he's out of the AMF's LoE, and I'd hate to know what nasty presents he'll leave from the pile o' loot.

Having seen a bunch of his creations I fear PhaedrusXY. I don't know which character he's playing but ... (shudder).Thanks. :lol I've actually been second guessing myself. I didn't really have time to make a new character from scratch, and so recycled one that I'd made for an old game, but never got to use. It's heavily based on one of VennDygrem's old characters that he played in a (brief) PbP we were both PCs in, in fact. ;)
2) A soulbow with the Wild Cohort feat (and some kind of flying animal cohort).I had also considered making some kind of soulbow.
Should we all state actions in PM now or wait for our turn to come up in initiative order? Oh, and what are the distances to the center pile and between podiums?
It's a move action to grab "Something useful' - something good for you, but random. It takes a full round action to find something more specific, like a sword, with a stiff notice check required to find something even more specific, like "A +1 eager consumptive sword". If you have two minutes, you can take twenty.
And how far is it from the pedestals to the edge of the clearing?Should we all state actions in PM now or wait for our turn to come up in initiative order? Oh, and what are the distances to the center pile and between podiums?
Wait for your turn order, and post it in the thread. Once you leave the clearing, switch to PM's. Oh, 40 feet.

And how wide are the pedestals?
On the bright side, this one is rough;y 32x as powerful.three cheers for Gordon E. Moore.

Also, good timing, I was just beginning to get a bit worried about this.
It appears Wob Niar has managed to get away, and the alliance - iron man can actually take control.Who's Wob Niar?
the hunter is seeking items, the kobold is up and dislikes the alliance, but everyone else has either run away, is on our team, or is in the process of being eaten. :D
It's funny how closely this is mimicking the actual book.So the metalman is equivalent to Cato or Clove. The face-mask guy is foxface or thresh, and gelatinous cube ~= Glimmer.

Who is mimicing who otherwise?
Who's Wob Niar?It's an anagram. Once solved, it should be easy to connect to a character.
Rainbow?
Rainbow?We have a winner!
Two words. I assume "Bow Rain" although Rainbow works just as well.Bow rain can't be assumed applicable, even if it is likely... wait, this was the DM talking... :plotting
Rainbow. (http://i.imgur.com/4ii5U.png)Exactly. Actually, can I sig that?

Badly injured and lying on the ground next to the whale-man, the winged woman rapidly rolled away a couple meters on her side (Tumble check (1d20+3=22) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3562564/)), escaping (safely) her assailant. Now on her knees and more or less free, she flew upward as high as she could.
Crawling
You can crawl 5 feet as a move action. Crawling incurs attacks of opportunity from any attackers who threaten you at any point of your crawl.
Prone
The character is on the ground. An attacker who is prone has a -4 penalty on melee attack rolls and cannot use a ranged weapon (except for a crossbow). A defender who is prone gains a +4 bonus to Armor Class against ranged attacks, but takes a -4 penalty to AC against melee attacks.
Standing up is a move-equivalent action that provokes an attack of opportunity.
Not really... it would be easy to figure out if I had the book around, I only ask because I don't.It appears Wob Niar has managed to get away, and the alliance - iron man can actually take control.Who's Wob Niar?

I'm pretty certain you can't tumble while prone. Even if its possible, there would be a -10 on the check just to move 5 feet.Quote from: srdCrawling

Sorry to go all rules lawyer. But since this is all player-versus-player, a laissez faire interpretation of the rules is likely to be problematic. On that point, the extra attack for a successful trip with the Improved Trip feat got skipped. Since I already previewed this post I'll roll in the next one. And again, sorry for piling on more misery Shiki
Tumbling While Crawling: Though the rules don't say so, there's no reason you can't can tumble 5 feet as a move action when prone. The check DC is 20.
If you put any weight in the Rules of the Game articles (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20040622a) at all...I guess that makes that Rules of the Game article the primary source here.QuoteTumbling While Crawling: Though the rules don't say so, there's no reason you can't can tumble 5 feet as a move action when prone.

Although it explicitly says that this is not covered by the rules... So...
Besides, even if you tumble 5 feet, that doesn't put you out of reach of something with a 10-ft reach, unless you tumble a second time and by then you're out of actions and all you did was roll a few feet away.It does if they only moved to just within reach when they went to hit. I think whaleman wanted to avoid the AoO from tripping, and moved to just close enough for him to hit.
Whaleman should get a hit in anyway though, considering I dun fucked up and forgot he had improved trip. Fuck you sleep deprevation! :shakefistSo, Whaleman get's the extra attack rolled above, and if Wob Niar survives, they get away?
Also, I'm noting seeing enough rolls in the trip section for a trip. There should be 1 touch attack to start the trip, and one str check from each.(click to show/hide)

Fuck you sleep deprevation! :shakefistDoes this refer to the attack already rolled or an AoO from moving while prone? The ruling going my way is one thing. But I don't think it would be fair to Shiki to get an extra attack just because the bonus attack earlier was skipped. There should at least be the opportunity to revise actions.

although the whale guy gets Str + 8 and wob niar only gets Str, wobniar still has a chance of resisting.
Another thing to consider just popped into my head. Can one begin flying from a prone position? I think its necessary to stand up first, but there may rules on this I'm unaware of.I can't find a ruling one way or another. I'd say that it depends on flight maneuverability. If it can fly up at any angle, take off from prone should be fine. If they need forward speed, it makes sense for them to need to stand first.
All good questions I don't have the answer to, I'm afraid. Time to troll teh interwebs?Rules Compendium says nothing, Players handbook says nothing, DMG says Nothing.
I think we are waitring on Quillwraith to do something.I thought we were waiting on a ruling on flying from prone and whether Wob Niar is still alive and managed to get away. :eh
I think we are waitring on Quillwraith to do something.Sorry, been doing other stuff.
How about this: Head gets the blow in that was rolled above. Should Shiki survive, she can successfully fly away. If she dosen't, she hits a tree branch, falls back to earth, and suffers a two ton curbstomp. Sound good?Seems fair. Both have a chance of success. (dependent of Shiki's Ac and hp, which I don't know.)
Remind me not to get in either the Whale or kobold's way. :PYou're playing the ooze, though.
Yeah, but now I've leaned how high your static mods to damage are, and through a little extrapolation of what you said you were playing before, I've noticed you've got to have a pretty sky-high AC. Gonna still have to watch myself.Want to change sides and not fight me yet? :P
Want to change sides and not fight me yet? :PRemember he could just eat you.
I'm rubbish at that sort of thing :(Here is what I do: I go here (http://www.angelfire.com/rpg2/dungeonsunlimited/), find a map that is reasonably close to what I want, and then draw a grid on it. Then I put down single letters for peoples' names. Like this (http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=5294.0). It's pretty quick and easy, but works well enough.
I recently realized that I could have optimized so much better.Yeah, I realized that one of the things I took is pretty much useless due to a house rule I'd forgotten about. :shakefist Ah well. It shouldn't matter much.
I recently realized that I could have optimized so much better.
My schtick is going to be difficult in the late game if a particular one of you is still around. So I'm hoping someone does my work for me. :DYour Schtick is going to be difficult at this stage in the game. I know exactly what your doing, and how to counter it. :P
Oh really? I was talking about something which you haven't seen.And how exactly do you know what I've seen? :eh
Hmm, you had told me he was about 40 feet away. Oh well.
PM'd actions to Wrex. Whoever is after me is up.
I thought Shiki had survived.Which was immediately followed by her
Has anyone tried PM-ing him?Not I. Anyone have Wrex on a friend list on any other sites to see if he's all right?
