News and Whatnot

This is an 'on' week for ECL10+.

Last week, I mentioned that our numbers are thinning. Then we had a pretty decent week turnout. I'm hoping to work on advertising in what avenues we have available. If anyone has avenues for advertising it - I welcome the added publicity.

New Rulings - Courtroom

  • nothing ruled on yet

Current Discussions
  • Sweeping Strike - I think this is pretty much clarified, but I'll review first before adding it.
  • Grease - non standard uses - how does it affect non-held but attended objects? Not really a lot of discussion on this - is it really not an issue?
  • Obsidian Steed (Figure of Wondrous Power) - what's its CR? (for prebuffing and for rewards)
  • Metamorphic Transfer - what are its limitations?

The Council Decisions/Revelations
  • Flight Houserule - This is resolved and it is pretty much removed with a small caveat for the sewer map. Check the council or the rules thread for the updated item.
  • Plains clarification - To resolve the question of whether someone can be prone behind the low obstacles. Again - it is updated in the council and the rules thread.
  • EL12 and EL11 monster fight lists are added to the rules (or will be shortly)

Current Topics
  • none


Idle Conversations

These are topics that have died down but had nothing come of them. We may reinvest time into them should they continue to be an issue.
  • Council - Mechanics of the "Awaken" spell is currently being discussed in the council.
  • Council- Delay rules are still being discussed.
  • Courtroom - Sauro wishes an elder decision on using an intelligent cohort as a mount. [and what tricks/training it requires]
  • Council - There is a discussion on how quickly you should be able to aquire ethereal equipment.
  • Courtroom- The rules for Ride and Handle Animal are under discussion.

thanks for the run. 2 Minor things Ivellios is ECL 5 so he should get 1500xp and 1600gp

Inertial armor has a ML 1 so it runs out before the next fight so shouldn't be in the ongoing effect part.

Thanks Sjiggie

Done

Thanks TA; that may end that short-lived experiment.

Anyway, fight looks good at a glance. I'm a bit confused by those final rounds - looks like his Hippogriff made two dive attacks in a row against me, which is impossible, but I think it may be a copy & paste error. And in any event, the outcome is pretty solid, as I figured it would be. Niwrad just lacks good defenses, and being Riley's favored enemy makes him an easy kill for her. But at least this was his third fight, so Huxley's death here doesn't hurt him in future fights.

One thing: please add Riley's used Protection from Evil potion to the wrap-up. And thanks for the run, particularly given whatever it was that made this week so hard on you.
Edit: Oh, and Riley gets 100 gp from her Craft (Painting) free activity, not 72.

only one dive attack the other was (as you said) a copy & paste error

May 06, 2009 16:31:58 		@Turanson: Thanks for the run, Turanson. The outcome was pretty much as I expected, as most of my good SLs had been used, and I need to do some shopping, since I leveled during this 3FC. It would have been nice if that hippogriff could have hit at least a little bit. Also, your "separate fight thread" part is incomplete; it only shows the character sheets, not the round by round battle. An inclusion of our post-separate thread part tactics would be appreciated as well.

@Zevox: Good fight, even if the outcome felt all but preordained to me.

@Telin: I'm probably not going to activate Niwrad this week, as I need to update his character sheet a good deal. Now that Niwrad is 4th, its time to say good bye to dear, loyal Huxley (Riley slew him anyway, right) and hello to a new animal companion. I'm thinking Dire Bat as mount/scout, but if anyone has any suggestions, I'd be open to hearing them.
