Throne of Shadows Discussion Thread

[Tadanori Oyama]

To avoid cluttering the main thread with OOC additions, I thought this would be a wise choice.

I would also like to take this chance to say that I (unlike Neil) have complete confidence in Jason's abilty to take some hits and stay up. Besides, the fireball is gonna go off as soon as he'd bloodied so even if he does drop later the bonus for having a bloodied ally in the area of effect will apply (unless a goblin somehow manages to drop him in one hit). Way it give to the team, Jason!

Of course, if Jason manages to be a total badass and doesn't actually get bloodied, than I suppose I'll look kinda dumb. Also, if anybody ever needs to move three squares closer to me in a hurt, just say the word.

And props to Neil for the one hit blooding of that goblin.

Ugh, I suspect that I will get bloodied this round, as long as not all of the goblins hit me, i'll be ok. Then next round, if i can hit, there is going to be a lot of prone goblins

[nbneil]

Aelar is a badass, much like Ohm. However, he CAN be hit.

FYI: I am heading away for Memorial Day weekend, and may be unable to update. I say may because I do at least have my phone (and I can tether). I'll keep you guys posted.

[Tadanori Oyama]

So Thomo, I didn't roll my attack/damage because I didn't know how many goblins would be struck by the attack (if any) or even if the attack would go off.

Since readied actions are a big strategy with me, would you prefer that I keep this method, of holding off on the rolls until they actuall happen, or would you prefer a make an educated guess ahead of time and put rolls in my "ready action" post?

[Thomo]

I think I would prefer it if you held off until they happen. So at the start of your next combat post put in something like:

Readied Action: Kill Stuff <Roll>
Move:
Minor:
Standard:

That way if things do get changed about (positions and whatnot) you have a somewhat more accurate idea.

[Tadanori Oyama]

Excellent. I love being a controller.

[Tondi-]

Tondi- can. I don't think I have his number

So you want knees broken?

Actually I talked to him last night, I think he may have had trouble seeing the threads because he didn't think anyone had posted. I'm sure he'll get onto it soon. I'll msg him just in case.

I don't know about knees, maybe just one

[nbneil]

Well, I did move the threads which can screw some things up initially. I'll probably move the Shadowrun one too into it's own forum with a discussion thread. Keeps things organized.

[Tadanori Oyama]

We'll see how much you like your "order" when we've got Foromians in all their Lawful Neutral nastiness crawling about! Freakin' ant people...

[Thomo]

Hey now, there's an idea...

[Tadanori Oyama]

The genius little goblin fucker blinded BEFORE the reaction went off! Fuck!

Addition-
Sweet, saved the first time around! I am going to Avenging Light the crap out of that Hexer!

[nbneil]

I have to say assassins are pretty effective. I hope they do more shadow classes.

[Tondi-]

This bugbear is going down!

Also I'm not sure if its noticeable but i'm intentionally not using obvious powers and fighting away from people as to not reveal i'm anything more than a normal traveller.

I'd appreciate it if everyone takes that into consideration if we survive. Of course if i'm forced to do something obvious in front of you all go crazy with the call outs

[Tondi-]

A Question To All: The weapon I picked has 'augmentable 1' on it. I've had a quick look but can't find much info other than - to augment the power i need to use a power point. What the hell is a power point?

[nbneil]

You have to be psionic (except for the monk). Psionic classes do not choose encounter powers, but can instead augment their at-will powers for greater effects. You start with 2 power points and gain 2 more every time you would normally get an encounter power. I don't think you can use the augment feature.

[Tondi-]

Can I still use the power unaugmented?

[nbneil]

I would assume so.

[~Wattsie~]

Two solid hits and i was almost dead, guess the minions are on vacation i Thought my GM from the the weekly game i play was a hard ass but...oh shit Tondi can read this can't he I mean my glorious, kind hearted, knowledgeable supreme GM from my weekly game is much nicer than this Thomo.

[Thomo]

Oh come on, I'm not that bad - I haven't thrown minions at you yet - or set up a skill challenge and trap you in a pyramid so that you only have 1 healing surge

[Tondi-]

You think thats bad! I had a DM who made me shoot a baby once!!! What type of twisted mind does that!

Also I think your doing a great job Thomo and the grid is working great, also in general just a awesome guy...so about that fumble...

PS. This is my first time being a player in 4E so i'm having a blast!

[Tadanori Oyama]

My position on the grid needs to be updated. I moved around to N-12, behind the wagon.

You are right Thomo, you haven't throuwn an industructable Blood Deam in or an army of Dopple gangers. You doing a great job! i just wanted to have a stab at Tondi

Sorry, I should know better than to update it late at night...should be fixed now.
