Rage song will always give you the better stats even when you're fatigued as you are getting the bonus as part of rage song not your barbarian rage. You however are still fatigued I believe.
Ok, awesome. Then I'll hold onto my potion of Invigorate for a rainy day, then.
Ok, just want to be clear. So when I'm fatigued I can't enter my own rage, but I can accept the reduced rage from Beltzer's rage song. Is that what you're saying?
Yes.
And then when my fatigue is done I can get my stronger version of rage, whether on my own or from the song.
Yes and no. Raging Song always gives you the better of your Rage bonuses. However, you still must factor in the fatigue penalties until you recover. So, in a sense, you effectively get stronger when your fatigue recovers.
cheers
Ok, I get it now. Looks like I needed a 2 to hit on my AoO (if it triggers) and I rolled a 1. Yeesh.
I hope one of them charges me and gets gored, though. :-)
Arlan, maybe spoiler all of your durations. I've never seen so many before.

Done.
Holy crap! You guys are good at killing orcs. I'm not used to seeing these kinds of numbers from 3rd level. I'm going to have to step up my game to keep up.
Wow.
Bels rage song sure as hell helps but yeah... We are not doing so bad. ;)
I've posted the hit point thresholds for common orcs in the spoiler above: 11 to stagger and 23 to kill due to the ferocity.
cheers
Oh boo... I failed to kill the last one there. :( Haha Still, only by one.
EDIT: Did I really just say "Oh boo"?!? Hahaha Okay Something is wrong with me.
Varin, when will you be able to use Roll20?
I am taking my laptop back to the shop tomorrow so hopefully tomorrow evening. It is a pain. I have been using my phone for everything but it won't log on to Roll
ok, good luck
Thanks. Sorry for the inconvenience again.
No worries.
@Beltzer, please account for your rounds of Rage Song. If you maintain it this round, it will be your 3rd of 7 rounds for the day.
@Everyone, please update your avatar profile for HP damage and resources used.
thanks
I'm keeping track, I'll update everything after the battle is over as it'll just be the rounds of the fight +1. I'll change hp as I take damage as that's a little bit more important.
I am standing on Yellow Orc basically. And you can move through friendly squares so I shouldn't have screwed with your movement.
Heya, I accidentally drew her intended direction rather than her actual movement, so I have both on the map. Sorry about that. I am assuming that I can split the full-round action in a standard now and a move after?
Guys, my posts will still be coming, but I just got a call that my father needs surgery. This may impact the quality of my posts. I do not know how much I will be traveling or when. If I need a few days with no contact, I'll give you some notice first. Thanks for understanding.
I hope your dad is okay Mohs. Take care of yourself man.
Sorry to hear.
Hopefully it goes well and it's nothing serious. Take it easy Mohs.
Ah, holy hell. I'm sorry to hear that Mohs. Don't overexert yourself.
Mohs, family first. Just give me a heads up when to DMPC you.
cheers

I hope everything works out ok!
Laptop is f$+!ed. Had to be sent away for repair. 2 weeks at least.
Imma go punch something.
Hey Lys. How do you want to handle this next batch of orcs? I say we call them out, I plant an acidic cloud over the door, and you plugging them with a readied action. Our melee friends can charge in and clean up.
Sounds like a good plan to me. I'm kind of feeling we're not going for the beacon as fast as we can, though. I hope it's not too much of a problem, but hell, I ain't leaving no one behind.
We already got the beacon, just need to clear out this sector and head to the gate and then it'll be reinforced.
Mohs, is that spot for you on the map correct? I ask because that's where I put my line for Arlan to move, but I didn't move and your image is there instead.
The beacon is already lit. We need to head to the gate and hold it next. I think we can spend maybe another 3-4 rounds searching and moving towards it before we really really have to hustle.
Yeah, in the writeup from DM Jubal it said I moved, but I didn't move on the map. Mohs, if you did intend to go over there, could you move one square south from your current position and I can go back to where your character is now? Reach weapon and whatnot.
There's another beacon near the hopespring.
I appreciate you guys discussing strategy here. Your table talk.
Cheers

DM Jubal, did you see my above post? I'm supposed to be where Mohs is on the map...
I can move if you need me too. I moved myself, but it looked like the space was clear.
I have shifted myself one square ( marking the old one in case the DM objects

Why didn't you move yourself? The lines are for me to keep track of your origin and paths... for traps and triggers and stuff.
Please move yourself, in case that wasn't clear before.
cheers

Not sure, for some reason I thought you just wanted us to put the line. It's fixed now.
Arlan,
How upset would you be if I drop acid cloud and you get caught with a bit of friendly fire . . .
Arlan will be mildly upset. I, on the other hand, will think it is hilarious.
Ha! Wrong building Arlan. I just looked at the map. The orcs are in the northeast building. The last batch of four came out of the one to the northwest, and the building has been checked by two of our companions.

By the way, no traveling for me! My dad doesn't need surgery after all!
Now let's fry some orcs! (And maybe singe Arlan a bit!)

Yeah, I didn't know which one it was. I fixed it on the map, now. And that's great about your dad!
Great news about your dad!
I'll post tomorrow morning, long, long day today.
Great news, Mohs!
It's fixed.
Sorry, I am rather distracted this weekend. I am working a con.
For the record, I am still demoralizing with the intimidate checks. It was always an interesting mechanic to me and when I played my bard character focused on debuffs, he did this A LOT... but in face to face games I would normally just say, "I demoralize him".
It's interesting to come up with in character reasons as to why you are intimidating in the midst of combat and unfortunately... in character it looks like you are doing nothing, even though out of character it is a nasty debuff.

Yep, I'm planning on doing a little de-buffing while I fight as well. My Enforcer feat lets me free action demoralize someone for a number of rounds equal to the damage dealt. Then I want to get a Cruel Amulet of Mighty Fists so every time I hit a shaken foe they become sickened as well. I'm going to get Pummeling Charge so I can run in, flurry someone, hit them and they're shaken and sickened. Then I might for good measure hit them with a Knockout punch (hero point) that they'll get a -4 to their save now. Kinda cool if I can pull that off against a Giant leader or something.
I'm also going to get some grappling feats with chokehold so I can take care of some enemy casters.
@DM Jubal--as I plan out my progression and what sorts of items I might want, I'm wondering: would you consider allowing the Brawling enchantment on medium armor? As written it can only be placed on light armor, but man, us unarmed fighters have enough drawbacks as it is, you know? I suppose I could save up for mithral but that's gonna be pretty pricey.
@Keltza, I can't get to Roll20 atm but are you within 30 feet with line of sight/effect to an orc?
@Arlan. Yes, brawling on medium armor is not a big deal.
Cheers
Great! That just saved me 4k hehe.
If you can wait till 5th, my next feat I'm looking at Craft Magic Arms and Armor.
That would also be awesome. I already have +1 armor, so if you craft it it would only cost 1500.
Note to self--reconcile with Mohs before level 5.
Not to be a killjoy, but I haven't see a great boutique of magic items in the first two books. So maybe lower your expectation of awesome optimizations.
Cheers
