Cyroa Posted February 23, 2010 Author Posted February 23, 2010 Ok, first off, everyone gets HP since I'm adjusting the power after I already made the sheet. It has subtle now (so much for thinking I got a good handle on these silly rules! ). So, DC 20 notice check to get your full defense I guess. DC 36 (base 16, all are penetrating btw, +5 from power attack = 21+15 = 36).
angrydurf Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Ace'll burn that HP for a heroic Feat: Interpose, He has uncanny dodge and with skill mastery gets a 27 on the notice, so he's at full defense. He'll interpose for Avenger and the attack will miss him.
Cyroa Posted February 23, 2010 Author Posted February 23, 2010 Curses! *shakes fist* Jack of Blades is up. Then Avenger & Phantom at the same time. No turn for you Ace!
Gizmo Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Hey, turns out Jackie B can make DC 20 Notice checks at will with Skill Mastery! Apparently I'm better at this character building thing than I realized. Go figure. Okay, so, let me make sure I understand what's going on. EDS is still technically in space, right? So, out of melee range if Stabby McJokejoke wants to keep breathing? Jack's 'behind' the portal now; is this one of those 'can only see it from one side' sort of bends in time and space? Beyond that, the plan is still to get him into the actual room, yeah?
Cyroa Posted February 23, 2010 Author Posted February 23, 2010 He is just inside the room, with the portal at his back. You cannot see from one side of the portal to the other unless you have some special senses. So if Jack is "behind it" he can't see EDS who is "in front" of it. (You could enter the portal from either side if you wanted to go into space or be sucked into space when he lets that 'selective' go...)
angrydurf Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Minor technicality, EDS would have to get the attack Extra to actually suck us into space with the portal. Imperfect logically but its the same principle that says summoning lava from the earths mantle or plasma from the sun is a blast effect not teleportation. Since he's unlikely to do it anyway probably doesn't matter but I am a fan of unsolicited pontification :D
Gizmo Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Well, Jackie B totes has 'special senses', but I take your point. I guess my question is whether the plan is to just buy Phantom time by keeping EDS busy, or whether it's time to start attacking him in earnest.
angrydurf Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Well IIRC Jacky B and Ace could keep our DS distracted for 27 rounds before any rolls need be made ... But I think Cy has given this version at least a little sense motive :D
Cyroa Posted February 23, 2010 Author Posted February 23, 2010 heh and partial immunity not enough to ignore you (cause that would suck) but to make it doable but challenging And yes, I know he can't just "suck you through" with the standard power... but the extra is definitely possible. :)
Gizmo Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Ha! Social fighters so crazy! It looked like EDS had +15 to Sense Motive, right? Hrm, that's pretty good. Probably can't get away with many move-action Bluffs... Alright, Jackie B will move to get around to the other side of the portal, standard action Feint at DC 31 then surge to Power Attack 5 (1d20+10=30). Oh snap! Critilicious. That's DC 22 + 5 + 5 + probably 4 from Autofire = DC 36, with whatever descriptors Phantom's powers usually have, since the sword is made out of her magic.
Gizmo Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 "What does the scouter say about his toughness save?" "It's over 19!" "What?! Over 19?! There's no way that can be right!" Yeah, so that was insane enough I felt obliged to give Jackie B an in-character response (Benefit #57 of a High Bluff: never letting on that you need a new pair of underwear). I can't believe that didn't even stun him! This is going to be rough...
Cyroa Posted February 24, 2010 Author Posted February 24, 2010 I rolled well I thought you were gonna stun him too ;)
Cyroa Posted February 25, 2010 Author Posted February 25, 2010 I believe Avenger and Phantom are up... (and still not sure exactly what Phantom's trying for here...)
Cyroa Posted March 1, 2010 Author Posted March 1, 2010 That's a reflex save from everyone (including Phantom). Power 13...so DC 23? Not sure what effect that has on Phantom's preparations. Or even what exactly she's attempting... Also, EDS will be shrugging off the Dazzle effects as he's immune to Fortitude (at the end of the round obviously) I believe.
Gizmo Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Reflex save vs. DC 23. (1d20+15=33) Alright, so Jackie B will down/up off of the ceiling and make a couple Power Attacks against EDS, courtesy of a surge. Power Attack 5 (1d20+10=19) That's DC 27. He might fumble, I guess! Power Attack 5 (1d20+10=21) That's another DC 27.
Cyroa Posted March 1, 2010 Author Posted March 1, 2010 tough (1d20+18=38) tough 2 (1d20+18=34) nothing for you... Sorry. (Good rolls though, huh? )
Gizmo Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 *gnash gnash gnash* Clearly we need to set up a combined attack or a crippling number of debuffs here. Do Taunts from multiple sources stack? What's Phantom working on again?
angrydurf Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 ... where did my turn go? Interpose doesn't take up your turn.
Cyroa Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 still looking for some Reflex saves Durf: oops my fault. not sure what happened...um, so HP? (and you still get to go this turn)
Cyroa Posted March 11, 2010 Author Posted March 11, 2010 Um.... here's the init again... EDS Jack Phantom & Avenger Ace It is Phantom's and Avenger's turn... and I still need the reflex saves from some people. also the concentration check for Phantom (I think; not sure how the ritual thing workd) + knowing what she's doing in the first place. (not pressuring you Alder; I know you're behind/swamped)
Avenger Assembled Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Avenger passes the save I'll wait till Phantom goes, since Avenger's waiting to see if the ritual works.
