sorry the boards weren't showing anything for me also, I was freaking out a little
It does that sometimes, I've taken to checking out the gameplay/discussion threads of all my games every couple of hours to be safe.
It's the first time for me, I've seen people comment about it, but I had never experienced it yet, guess I'm not a newbie any more.
I think you guys also missed my post.
you posted you used clw, I was posting at the same time, waiting for Adria to give local knowledge and Nazz is entering temple right?
Sounds right.
paranoid now, but it looks like were back underway
Hehe. I only start to worry about posts after a few days. :P
if I'm at my computer I am constantly refreshing it to see if someone has posted. Wow, that sounds like I do not have a life, come to think of it I Don't have a life!

Same here.
I do 90% of my posting via my phone. I refresh a few times per hour as long as I'm not actively working.

Also same, if I go more than a couple hours without posting it's because I'm asleep.

Also same, the asleep part and refresh part, not the phone part, except for those rare moments like tonight that I am off and get to leave the building. So I am taking my wife to the county fair, and will not post for a few hours, look at me being outside in the daylight.
We are level 1 right?
... yes?
The fifth level magic missile threw me for a loop. I get it now.
Oh! I didn't even notice that, nice Siff :3
Yeah, we officially have a glass cannon. :)
... what would Nazz be?
Highest HP, Diehard, Decent AC, highest consistent round for round damage output. On your way to being the tank.
Just wait until we hit mythic.
I say check the AP's GM thread. I hear there's some good advice in there.
Yeah Mythic tends to wreck the monsters so might be good to get some practice in retooling them early. Also we've got 4 melee frontliners and our mage can one-shot most CR 2 enemies so you may want to look at group o group battles since its the 6 on 1 scenarios where we're likely to roll over stuff.
Sweet!
From someone who's run it, Book 1 will be okay in terms of challenge but Books 2+ on will require some rewriting of encounters or nerfing of mythic.
Ok off to bed, Got work tonight, but I'll be on later.
if it gets beefed up a lot, you all don't mind if Iradyiel hides behind someone do you?
You can hide behind Esmeralda. She has Bodyguard. :)
should I bring my own wheelbarrow and shovel? Or at least Dates for snacks?
Only if you bring enough for Bruno too. :P
umm. the wheelbarrow thing or the dates thing, you know I meant the food, not picking up women, I mean Iradyiel would be your 'wing man' and all, but hiring them...you know.... ew
Got real busy at work now. Big MMA fight tonight.
Um, yeah, next time I wouldn't recommend putting the spell's effect, its targets, the type of save and the DC under a spellcraft skill check. I didn't bother reading it till Siff pointed it out in-game since I didn't see any targets or DCs so I thought he was just buffing himself or something.
Also was the concentration check for him to cast on the defensive or something, if not did the spell go off? I'm confused.
The assumption was that since he goes last, somebody's sure to hit him before he casts, thereby requiring a concentration check which I'm pretty sure he failed.
I think she is assuming someone is going to ready to disrupt his spellcasting.

right, the confusion is she posted his actions even though he goes last in the init. order, so she rolled the concentration assuming someone would hit him. Or at least that's my opinion.
Okay...

But on spoilers: my thought was that players could read any spoilers, they only denote where character knowledge is limited. That's kind of how table top works too where everyone gets the story. And in pbp, most people don't have their characters repeat whats under spoilers for everyone like they would in a table top. Should I be assuming players do not read spoilers though?
Normally I do, but since everything concerning the spell was in the spoiler I figured it was a buff, if no one made the spellcraft check or disrupted it how would I have known roll a save?
Speaking of, how did Ira's thrown attack make his spell fail? The only way a spell requires a concentration check is if you're casting on the defensive or you get hit with an AoO or Readied Action while you're casting it, I don't know how getting attacked before your turn would require such a check, that would severely cripple casters.
Normal dice is 1d8+6. Charging with a lance doubles that. I think. Now I'm doubting my memory.
*checks*
Yup. Fear the charging dwarf!
The taking damage before your turn thing only counts for spells that have a casting time of one full round. In that case if you get hit between your first and second turn, you have to make the check because you're still casting. Or continuous damage like acid arrow or being on fire.
But yeah in this case he wouldn't really have even started casting util his turn, by which time he was already dead.
Would have been even scarier if you crit.

Yes, I thought about that after I had posted. I was going for story flavor by making him cast an ominous spell, and also wanted to give Siff's spellcraft skill a chance to shine. But sounds like I ended up confusing the combat:( I shouldn't have made him cast before his turn.
But, I believe Darya is right: I think "Injured while casting" requires 10 + damage dealt + spell level. That's how Iradyiel's thrown knife required the check. Right?
In any case, I certainly won't post DCs inside spoilers any more, and if I need a save and someone didn't post it I'll just roll it up. Sound good?
