It seems as though my Hold Person was likewise lost somewhere, which irritates me.

Tarlyn, any suggestions on what to do to avoid this happening in the future? And in general add a bit of sanity to the combat system?

At 3.5 we roll Init. only once, at the beggining of the encounter and we keep that for all the battle.

How many werewolfs are alive now and what is their % health?

Remember the pm I sent you about that? It rolled 18 on it's save. Maybe you misunderstood?

Very nice idea lostboy, if the hold person fails we can get with that the werewolf, especially if it has lost 5 DEX and 5 to mental stats due to touch of idiocy and ray of clumsiness!

On a similar note, did anybody find my Ray of Enfeeblement that I was supposed to cast last turn? I don't mind if I missed my turn entirely, as long as we can agree that I either did or did not cast it.

I second NeoT's call for a more organized anarchy.

Whooops, I somehow completely missed that. Mental blind spot. Very sorry. I still think a bit more organization would be useful though.

Yes I agree. From now on I will wait to post after everyone has posted their actions in the thread this way there will be no confusion ;)

Combat posting

Post by steveflam »

OK here goes for Combat!!

1. Specofy who you are casting your spell or battling against i.s #1 2 3 or 4 etc .... ok?

2. State everything in the game thread for battle, so I can follow it easier.

3. Initiiative yes still do it.

Draven sits this round out of combat as he's making a noose to capture one of the bad wolfys. No need to roll intiative for him.

Depending on the outcome of this round, he will decide what to do next.

Will we make init. roll each round? Not as 3.5, once at the beggining of the encounter? It's easier that way.

Has the ray of clumsiness gotten the werewolf?

Ah and what about Marentor's ray of enfleebment? If he did it in werewolf 2 we will have more chances to get it with the rope. :wink:

Yes I presume that 14 save fails? It will be retroactive to the beginning of round 3 HB. Sorry about that. ;(

Ok as well as the Touch of Idiocy for Hailang's 5 points of damage.

To answer Van's question about targeting, Cornelius targeted the werewolf closest to himself.
Delight is to him- a far, far upward, and inward delight- who against the proud gods and commodores of this earth, ever stands forth his own inexorable self.
