Please don't edit the sheet after the deadline or you will lose the match.



News and Whatnot


New Rulings - Courtroom
The following rulings were voted for by MWB, Zevox, Telin, crazy, and Erithmu. Sauro voted against. Seeing as how Hirm is AFK right now, I'm counting them as "decided". Though they still have not been added to court decisions...

  • You can not find invisible creatures merely by moving through thier square- they can merely opt to let you pass by. The only exception is if you end movement in the same square as an invisible creature- you will then effectively know an invisible creature was there because you will be "moved" to the last legal square you occupied.
  • A Shadowdancer/Assassin's HiPS does not require concealment or cover to use- it merely requires a shadow nearby that is not their own. This shadow does not have to be visible to the observer or even grant any sort of concealment itself.


The Council Decisions/Revelations



Current Topics
  • 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.


Idle Conversations

These are topics that have died down but had nothing come of them. Personally? I blame the terrorists.
  • Council - Mechanics of the "Awaken" spell is currently being discussed in the council.
  • Courtroom- Good grief, we're talking about the Bag of Tricks again. Sooner or later Lelenia will level enough that we can put these discussions behind us. :-)
  • Council- Delay rules are still being discussed.

Granted! You get a fight in the sewers, but it is a 4-way ffa with three monsters.

...erm, wrong thread B-)

Fixed.

Does anyone find this as amusing as I do?

Darrgon
d20: 3 rolls, 3 average
Sunstroke
d20: 5 rolls, 9.2 average
Orgauth
d20: 4 rolls, 5.8 average
Soren
d20: 18 rolls, 8.1 average

Note that Sunstroke rolled a 14 for initiative... so if you take that one out - he's pretty low too...

first six rounds of the huge team fight in the forest are up. more to come in morning.

I also see something in Darian's tactics that wouldn't work by the rules and thought you should know. He wanted to manifest Control Body on Undeath From Above.
Target: One Medium or smaller creature with humanoid physiology
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 min./level
Saving Throw: Fortitude negates

Immunity to any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects or is harmless).

Since Control Body requires a Fortitude save and does not also work on objects, it cannot affect Undeath From Above.

That was exactly the rules question I had in the Tavern before writing tactics.
Check out the discussion there.

Ah, I see, when I went to look at the power I didn't really get past the part I quoted, since I saw the combination of "creature" and "Fortitude negates" and thought, "Undead type ftw" and didn't read farther. Never mind then.

Other than wondering what I did to round 5, all I have to say is that Snake-Eyes' Animal Affinity should be on himself (I think it was just a bookkeeping error) and should reflect his ML of 6.

The dorjes he used for it is ML3

lonewolf, you forgot to apply the ally penalty and bonus to Torik vs. Volley (the horse was prebuffed; even if it didn't see action, it should be no different than leaving out a prebuffed ally because it's huge and your fight is in the sewer). It should be 1125 xp/gp for Torik, and 225 for Volley. Please fix it so I can adjust Torik.

Looks good, but rewards are 2025 xp and 3375 gp (don't use the XP:GP ratio when you don't have to). Also, there's an hour and a half left on FoM.

thank you for the run. it seems i had a lot of luck with where flutterthought wanted to go, given my tactics. natural 1 on the save vs. glitterdust was quite a sight (or blindness?), too.

Any Idea when you're able to finish them. Will it be before the pairings. Do take your time for it I don't mind having it hold over but I rather avoid if its possible.

TEDs & Enoch vs Darian is done.

I will attempt to do my other fight tomorrow on my lunch break ~ 11am est. I should have rewards up a few hours before the pairings, if that helps those competitors at all.

Sorry for all this. I've been a bit of a mess the last two weeks.

Don't worry, we are all busy these days :P

Yeah...I've feel like I've been busy for the last ten years. Balancing trying to maintain a social & dating life, taking care of disabled parents who can't live alone, and trying to launch a career in a brand new field is taking its toll on me.

Looks like this fight will be held over. I never got notified that the company's anniversary lunch is today & I have to attend whether I like it or not.

@McJarvis: Darian only used 51 pp in this weeks fight. Also on first glance it looks to me that you didnt include his political career(didnt do the math yet)

thanks for fixing.

defensive precog - 1
control body - 9
solicit psicrystal - 5
energy ball - 10

53 pp

My mistake was that I somehow thought that solicit psicrystal is only a 2nd lvl power.

But this makes the whole thing an even greater mess:
Darian is only allowed to use 51pp in that fight, so that last Astral Construct is not possible...

As much as I hate to give you this additional work, I believe this needs to be fixed.
