Well, each type of interrupt trigger has its specific triggered attack,  though basically it just determines whether it's a strength or dexterity based attack. I believe all other factors are the same, since I'm unlikely to have combat advantage shaker anyone to apply sneak attack to the duelist's prowess attacks.

Do duelists get some sort of feature that lets them take multiple Immediate Interrupts in a round of combat?
Because I thought everyone only ever gets one Immediate Interrupt/Reaction, but as many Opportunity Attacks as you want.  :???

I believe that's a bit of shortsightedness on WotC's part. The intent seems clear to grant multiple parry-style attacks, but they kind of forgot about that tricky rule.

I'm probably going to get rid of this power at my earliest convenience. Of course, with fewer ripostes, that leaves that one enemy still up. Gotta survive to get rid of the attack. :P

Bah, Inspectre is correct. I confused interrupt with opportunity actions. In looking it up this morning to confirm Inspectre's suspicions, I found it is Opportunity actions that are once per combatants turns while Interrupt actions are once per turn only.

That is my mistake. Though since it only killed one skeleton and had minor impacts on the others I will leave them up in that post and will run it correctly from now on.

Did we short rest after the last combat?  We didn't right?

Yes, there was what could be considered a short rest so you have your encounter powers back.

I believe on area attacks you need a separate attack roll for each target with a single damage roll for all but I don't have my books at the moment to confirm.

I thought it was single roll for everything because 4e liked simplifying.

I'll check now.

Edit: You're correct.  Ugh, so many rolls.

New rolls are up, Elven Accuracy got used for the lowest roll instead of the first one assuming that's alright.

Now that I am looking at my books again. Looks like Close blast 5 is different from close burst 5. A blast is a true 5x5 square, where a close burst 5 would center on you and be a 5 square radius. subtle difference but there are some diagrams on page 272 of the PHB1.

I assume the damage you want to do is against the two near the thrones and I can get one of the other skeletons in that blast but I cannot get the other two in that radius.

Venn, I had meant to put something in about the light you dropped and forgot about it. I will get the map updated with the lighting effect.

Woohoo!  Unless this wight has some BS "get out of flanking free" card, his AC is better than 23, or he manages to drop Galadren with a single 14-damage melee hit ( :o )  he just ate 41 damage from Dunor and Galadren!  Go rogue bros!   :D

That was a nice couple turns. Yeah that damage was pretty cool. In the midst of the response post but will have to finish it up after work since it has the enemies turns too.

I hope I had your AC correct for Dunor Venn. I had it at 19 which went up to 21 with Second Wind. I know there was a lot of up and down with your HPs this round. Math looks like this. You had 14 hitpoints before your turn. Ongoing damage at the start of your turn dropped you to 9. Then you gained back 7 from Second Wind which put you at 16. Then you took 9 and 5 damage from the boneshard's scimitar attack(assuming I have your AC right), which took you down to 2. 4 damage from the skeleton minion takes you to -2.

Since it's late right now and I am tired I want to make sure I am not missing anything that would have been done wrong on my end.

I'll let you resolve the Duelist Prowess attack and on who it should be directed. Since it is an interrupt it could be used on any of the 3 that attacked you this round.

Sheesh - the wight can suck HP twice in a single round?  I smell limburger.  :P
Wish I had been able to use my action point to shoot him again before he could do that, but with reload as a minor there was nothing I could have done there.
I'd say everybody needs to unload on the wight with everything we've got left - Thurnan probably can't take another round of double sucking.

Assuming Tanthalus can get Dunor up again, is there a rogue power he can use to shank the wight with flanking?  Galadren is providing flanking so that means Combat Advantage/Sneak Attack.  As a cleric does Tanthalus get the Turn Undead usage of Channel Divinity?  Or was that Divine Glow encounter last turn the "Channel Divinity" usage?
