News and Whatnot

This is an 'off' week for ECL10+.

As I've said elsewhere - I'm real impressed with how things have been running here these last 3 months. I was hoping more to come out of 4e CoCo - but at the same time - I believe that taking our time with something so new is a pretty good idea.

A couple of rulings came up last week - one headed to the Courtroom and the other headed to the Council. Please weigh in on the issues if you get a chance.

New Rulings - Courtroom

  • Addendum to the house rule for Energy Missile to expand it to all powers that have a +1DC/+1PP augmentation line to make it +1DC per +2 PP augmentation. Looks like a unanimous vote there.

Current Discussions
  • Grease - non standard uses - how does it affect non-held but attended objects? (spell component pouches, holy symbols, etc)
  • 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
  • EL14 list has been posted - comments are welcome.

Current Topics
  • Zevox posted an EL13 list for monster fights. He is looking for comments as well
  • Clearing up a couple of muddy issues with the maps - Forest map in particular. Also - if there are other map features that we need to resolve - speak up.


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.

In general - if you have errors on your sheet - it is a good idea to disclose it to the pitlord and to your opponent(s) before tactics are written. I'm not mad - but it was certainly a surprise.

Mar 16, 2009 13:04:45 		Two things that likely won't affect the result - but will certainly make it less one-sided:

1. The ACs can't beat the steed's DR (Magic and Cold Iron) - so each hit should deal 5 less damage.

2. The Hoary steed has "Misty Breath" - though now that I look again - it looks like this is an ability it would need to use (as opposed to the nightmare who is constantly wreathed in smoke). Nevermind on this...
