Something that isn’t stone but that is disguised as stone also counts as unusual stonework. A dwarf who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a Search check as if he were actively searching, and a dwarf can use the Search skill to find stonework traps as a rogue can.

Construct Traits: A psicrystal has immunity to poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, disease, death effects, necromancy effects, mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns, and morale effects), and any effect that requires a Fortitude save unless it also works on objects or is harmless. It is not subject to critical hits, nonlethal damage, ability damage, ability drain, fatigue, exhaustion, or energy drain. It cannot heal damage, but it can be repaired. Psicrystals do not have the usual construct traits of darkvision and low-light vision. Psicrystal Granted Abilities: The psicrystal described here has the special abilities of self-propulsion, alertness, improved evasion, share powers, telepathic link, sighted, deliver touch powers, telepathic speech and flight and personality and Spell resistance. (If its master chooses not to activate the self-propulsion ability, the psicrystal reverts to a speed of 0 feet and has no Strength score and no Dexterity score.) Skills: A psicrystal (with its self-propulsion ability activated) uses its Dexterity modifier instead of its Strength modifier on Climb checks. It has a +8 racial bonus on Climb checks and can always choose to take 10, even if rushed or threatened.

SauroGrenom 01-30-08, 11:51 PM	OK... Not sure what I'm up against. Please check one more time to make sure that Kracknol's +14 Knowledge Psionics skill doesn't apply at all. With that and his knowledge dungeonering skills he knows a more detailed description about aberrations and any psionic creatures. If the creature is phrenic, then it counts as psionic. Assuming there is no mistake, and kracknol knows nothing of his foe, i'm looking at either a celestial charger, dragon, androsphinx or lammasu. If phrenic creatures are added in, then it could be a phrenic tiger (legendary or half-celestial dire). I'm thinking that a winged quadruped would be described differently than a normal quadruped, so I'm thinking the celestial charger right now. I hope it's not a phrenic legendary tiger. That would be just evil. Kracknol starts in the back corner of his starting area with a potion of invisibility and his axe in hand. Quaff the potion as his first action.
Salrantol 01-31-08, 07:16 AM	Your opponent is neither psionic nor an aberration. And yes, if it had wings, I would have mentioned them. Initiative order Foe Kracknol Round 1 The celestial charger casts shield of faith and moves out. Kracknol quaffs a potion of invisibility. Foe [155/155] [shield of faith [71]] Kracknol [117/117] 20/20pp [invisibility [31]]
SauroGrenom 01-31-08, 09:49 AM	Activate Boots of Flying and move near the top of the cavern while flying forward. http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=cavern;a=Name,M,29,29,2 3,23
Salrantol 01-31-08, 05:38 PM	On command, the boots sprout wings at the heel and let the wearer fly, without having to maintain concentration, as if affected by a fly spell.The subject can fly at a speed of 60 feet (or 40 feet if it wears medium or heavy armor, or if it carries a medium or heavy load). It can ascend at half speed.You can't reach 10' height (as implied by your post) and move as far as you wanted forward, since it's 20' of movement just to get to 10' height.Round 2 Kracknol sees his foe come around the corner and sniff around where he is, looking right through him. I should have posted up through here before looking for your action, sorry. You can change your action if you'd like.http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=cavern;a=Name,M,29,29,K racknol;b=Name,L,14,20,16,22,21,22,25,25 ,Foe
SauroGrenom 01-31-08, 08:15 PM	Seeing his foe foolishly wandering so close, Kracknol seizes the opportunity and musters all his power charging forward with unbelievable speed to slash repeatedly at his foe. The gleaming blade burns with an inner light as it comes down for four penetrating attacks. There is an error on my sheet. Since his BAB is +11, Kracknol has 3 attacks. The following is correct. +1 Deep Crystal GreatAxe of Suppression +18/+13/+8 melee, 1d12+10 [20/x3] Slashing [+11BAB, +6 STR, +1 Enhancement] Free action: activate boots of speed Free action: use 2pp to charge up the deep crystal axe Swift Action: 11pp Psionic Charge (+8 to damage) Charge directly at the foe and use Power Attack and Deep Impact as follows: +18=+18 +1 Haste + 2 Charge +2 Invisible -5 Power Attack vs flatfooted AC 1d12+10+2d6 (Deepcrystal)+8 (lion's charge) +10 (Power Attack) +16=+18 +1 Haste + 2 Charge -5 Power Attack vs flatfooted AC 1d12+10+2d6 (Deepcrystal)+8 (lion's charge) +10 (Power Attack) +11=+13 +1 Haste + 2 Charge -5 Power Attack vs flatfooted touch AC (Using deep impact) 1d12+10+2d6 (Deepcrystal)+8 (lion's charge) +10 (Power Attack) +6=+8 +1 Haste + 2 Charge -5 Power Attack vs flatfooted touch AC (Using deep impact) 1d12+10+2d6 (Deepcrystal)+8 (lion's charge) +10 (Power Attack) Refill the deep crystal as a free action after each hit. If all blows hit, Kracknol has enough pp to refill the axe 4 times and have 1pp left over. Man, I really hope one of those is a 20. That would be nice.
Salrantol 01-31-08, 09:13 PM	pwned by the natural 1 on the first swing. Round 2, cont. Kracknol bursts forward in a blaze of attacks, his axe sweeping powerfully--too powerfully, as he leans into the first attack too much and the blade digs into the floor. He yanks it out and swings again, but he feels a magical aura pushing the blade away, as he leaves a trail of trimmed hairs in his axe's wake. Annoyed at this, he lights a fire in his mind and pushes the fire into his arms, powering his blade through his foe's toughened skin as though it were paper. Seeing blood, he uses his mental energy to repeat the horrific attack. Foe [72/155] [shield of faith [71]] Kracknol [117/117] 5/20pp Round 3 The dice gods strike back--TWO natural 1s. The foe unleashes three attacks, but can't come close to hitting Kracknol. Kracknol ?
SauroGrenom 01-31-08, 09:36 PM	Frustrated by his own excitement, Kracknol steels his mind to focus and attack more carefully. He brings the blade around for another 4 powerful swings. OK, so this guy has a flatfooted touch AC of at least 17 (else the 16 would have hit). Dang! He's large as well... So a large guy's flatfooted touch ac is 9+ deflection, sacred, profane bonus. For a flatfooted touch AC, shield, armor, natural armor, dex and dodge bonuses don't count. There must be some kind of bonuses on him that total at least +8... I suppose there could be divine or sacred or profane bonuses, but all that would be custom stuff, and monsters don't get custom stuff. I'm waiting to see this monster's stats at the end of this. Edit: Now that I look at it, I think the 1st and 2nd swings are the ones that missed... so that's a bit different. This guy's flatfooted AC is >26, and that's easier to see than a FFTouch AC of >16. Regardless the FF AC of at least 27 with the time involved in the battle is an interesting feat as well. OK, so that's 11pp, and two hits for 2pp each and one "charge" left in the blade. So that's 3pp remaining and a blade charged with an extra 2d6 damage. Let's try this again. Kracknol manifests Hustle for an extra move action. This he uses to recover psionic focus. Now repeat the haste, full attack power attack as before, only this time use the one psionic focus to deep impact the 1st attack. Only the first hit gets the bonus 2d6 damage, then Kracknol's out of pp. Bonuses on that attack sequence will be 14/14/9/4 with the 1st attack vs the touch AC.

Just so you know, the foe isn't flat-footed against the second attack, because Kracknol is visible, having already attacked. So it's just a normal AC above 26. I'll run the next round in the morning.
Salrantol 02-01-08, 07:18 AM	Round 3, cont. Kracknol unleashes another flurry of attacks, exhausting his reserves of mental fortitude, but only manages to connect once. Foe [34/155] [shield of faith [71]] Kracknol [117/117] 0/20pp Round 4 The foe strikes a piercing blow through Kracknol's shoulder, but her other attacks miss easily. Kracknol?
