    read it Rita Repulsa's voice. And silly, one can fake an alignment! right?

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    You can fake an alignment in behaviour, but you can't fool a Paladin's Detect Evil without going to great magical lengths. :P

    Why are you trying to bring my idea crashing down? If for the purposes of the argument she's a massive powerful being/sorcerer, hiding her true alignment would kind of be necessary.

    I'm just being argumentative for the sake of being argumentative. I do things like that quite often.


    In reality, Erith does have a fairly big role to play in the story, but it's got more to do with her position as the head of a minor House than being an immortal sorceror.


    I can't promise you that there aren't other massively powerful sorcerors waiting in the wings, because if I did, I might be lying.


    However, I'd like to think that I could come up with something more original than 'Your party's mentor and benefactor is secretly evil and using you to gain power'.

    I would think so.

    People in this thread might find this tweet amusing.

    Lazuli: It is your turn, by the way.


    (If someone takes too long to post, by the way, I'm skipping their turn to move the game along. I'll give people a few days before that happens though.)

    OK, I cannot think right now. What do I have to roll for Magic Missile?


    Also do I have to aim at a specific skeleton or can I just target the nearest one?

  • NovaNova

    You need to roll for Spell Resistance, if your opponent has it. In this case, the skeletors do not have it; in further incidents, you would roll 1d20+your caster level.


    You do need to specify your target, but in this instance, you can just say 'the nearest one' and I will know which one you are referring to.


    So, all you need to do currently is specify your target and roll damage.

  • Super LazuliSuper Lazuli

    OK dank je.


    I forgot that Magic Missile always hits, yes.

    It hits, but it is also affected by Spell Resistance, if your opponent has it.

    I know, but skeletons don't.

    But I don't! D:


    I just had the idea when I was thinking one day. I like making characters.


    Also, extra Hit Dice, since they couldn't possibly come in until level 3.


    (Rolled: 2d8. Rolls: 7, 4. Total: 11)

    I just realized that I can technically have each of my weapons in hand, dagger and scimitar, and not take penalties as long as I don't attack with both at once.

  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse
    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!

    I'm fairly certain the penalties specifically apply to your off hand.

  • All NinesAll Nines

    Ah. I wasn't sure what to make of Two-Weapon Fighting's wording, but I guess that makes sense.

  • All NinesAll Nines

    It's also your turn, by the way.

    Yo. Clockwork.

    Do I take a penalty to my prospective attack roll for attacking when the eventual skeleton is at the doorframe?
  • NovaNova

    I believe the skeleton gains a +4 partial concealment AC bonus.

    Ah. Okay. Which means switching weapons was probably a silly idea, especially since the other two casters can help ne with plinking away at them. Ah, well.

    EDIT: Wait, the partial bonus is that high now?

    According to the rules:



    To determine whether your target has cover from your ranged attack, choose a corner of your square. If any line from this corner to any corner of the target's square passes through a square or border that blocks line of effect or provides cover, or through a square occupied by a creature, the target has cover (+4 to AC).


    When making a melee attack against an adjacent target, your target has cover if any line from any corner of your square to the target's square goes through a wall (including a low wall). When making a melee attack against a target that isn't adjacent to you (such as with a reach weapon), use the rules for determining cover from ranged attacks.

    Wouldn't the skeleton that just attacked Nom Lam be subject to either Nom Lam's readied attack, or mine?


    If you saw the parenthesis that I just removed, never mind that; I didn't know that you could take a 5-foot step as part of that.
