#42 TelinArtho May 09, 2008 8:59:13	Thanks for the run Callix. There's one minor issue during the fight and one that is in the summary. The issue during the fight won't change things though. The issue during the fight is that you can't move diagonally around a hard corner as you have Uguudok moving in round 8. He would have to do the 5ft step to the north in one round, 5ft step to the west in the next round. Now that said - @JackSnape - that tactic you used with the longspear was quite a good idea. It enabled you one shot per round while still keeping a threatened area. That said - you might want to invest in a 1-handed thrown weapon (javelin most likely) - because then you wouldn't need to drop your weapon at all and, most importantly, you can advance at your opponent each round if you choose. On the rewards part - I need to know if the poisoned arrow is one of the recovered ones (since it is the first miss and it looks to me that the first arrow is recovered - I think it is recovered). If it is recovered, please note this in the Prebuffs/Ongoing Effects section of the summary. Thanks for the run.

I know that feeling. Had about the same roll history with Varuxor and Eland a few times. Dice gods seems to stick with some characters more than with others.
#84 salrantol May 12, 2008 9:16:16	The Dark One vs Felice tu'Ria is up. Ambush and Stinking cloud won this one. Please post if there are problems with this fight. I'm not sure anyone (short of ghosts) who fails the save can beat Ambush + Stinking Cloud in the temple. I wish I could complain, but I can't.

But on the positive side you didn't fail to cast a spell due to ASF now did you?
#122 MindWandererB May 13, 2008 13:11:16	Actually - on rereading the power - it does indicate a motion must be made. This wouldn't prevent Lord Lorian from manifesting other powers that don't have that line in there though. This is flavor text. Psionic powers never have somatic components.
#123 mcjarvis May 13, 2008 13:17:11	This is flavor text. Psionic powers never have somatic components. What about powers with a range of touch?
#124 TelinArtho May 13, 2008 13:20:50	@MWB - I agree - psionic powers do not have somatic components. However, it does state that a pointed finger is required - and that means disintegrate is not a "purely mental" action. McJ has a valid point on the touch powers as well.
