He's technically in the battle so he gets experience anyways. More than you in fact because he's... fresh I guess? He can still learn new information about fighting from watching it in action.

[Rolepgeek]

That's my point.

2 probably level five or six enemies, each with CR of 6 or 7 in all likelihood, and Ganron's level one. This one encounter will shoot him up to level 3 as a full-fledged Character class, if he survives, in all likelihood, if I remember how we did the system.

I will also get shot up by about 3/5 of a level. So that's nice.

[Rolepgeek]

Also, in case it wasn't obvious(And apologies to everyone else for whom this is probably stupendously boring), this is great fun for me.

I made a duelist character. He's dueling a dude, complete with witty banter(he's still an arrogant prick, though, as evidenced by his 8 Charisma, he's just a clever arrogant prick).

If I was a bard, I'd take a feat to boost my attacks every time I made a witty comeback, and a feat that debilitated my enemies with every terrible pun I made(max of once per round, lasting one round, of course).

[Nerjin]

I'm going to assume you meant North-west.

It's also important to note that since you have the Duelist feat you have a constant +2 dodge bonus against everyone. You basically upgraded Dodge to gain it so... You can't do the +1 to AC thing.

[Rolepgeek]

...Dodge bonuses stack, Nerjin. They're one of the few AC bonuses that do.

[Nerjin]

Oh! So they do. Whoops. Ah well. It didn't matter on this one.

[Rolepgeek]

Erch.

That's a lot of bonuses...is it a magic sword or something? Where's that other +3 damage coming from...hnnnnnrrrg

18 or 19 Strength...+5 Attack bonus...Fighting Challenge...

I'm hoping there's a way I can win this via puzzle or taunts or something, because I'm not actually sure if I have stats advantage. Especially since he rolled a one.

Just need a crit...

[Nerjin]

Large Longsword: 2d6 damage.
Bonus from Fighting Challenge: +1
Strength Bonus:

[Rolepgeek]

Oh I see you put both dice separately.

Well, shit. I roll half the damage dice he does, with a smaller damage bonus.

I really do need that crit.

Steely Strike should be useful for that, since the bonus to hit should apply to the crit confirm too, as will Emerald Razor, since it's a touch attack. Actually, when I think about it, Shadow Blade Technique will probably be best for that, but I don't know if they'll call it magic or not. And, of course, if I can last that long. I have better AC than him, and better Attack bonus, and have my maneuvers, but...he probably has quite a lot more hit points, and deals more damage with each blow.

And then fight Paul, to boot.


I beseech thee, oh great Critzocoatl, grant me aid in my time of need. I have sacrificed fourscore dice and more to your holy grace, and have been a loyal servant of thee in all my days. In this dark hour, grant me the aid I seek, I beg of thee.

[Nerjin]

As a knight he would tend to. Theoretically he put you into the negatives with a crit. I'd avoid that if you could. No one wants to see Borus get a big head over this stuff.

[Rolepgeek]

Is there a reason I only moved five feet, rather than 19 or so?

It doesn't matter at this point, just asking though.

I hate when combat consists of sitting there and smashing each other, since that's never how actual fights go; I like it much better when they're mobile, and this fits Dereth's style anyway.

Oh, and just in case since it'd be easy for you to forget; Battle Ardor gives me another +2 on Crit confirmation rolls.

Also, Emerald Razor is an auto-hit unless I roll a one(he has 20 AC). Which of course means that that's exactly what will happen, in all likelihood.

Probably should have gone with Punishing Stance from the start; puts us on even ground for both AC and Damage, but I have the advantage in attack rolls, and he has the advantage in hit points. Which means, as usual...it's up to the dice.

[Nerjin]

Standing jump attempts double the difficulty. YOu rolled 19. Standing 10' jump has a DC of 20. I let you go as far as you can.

Don't worry, I'm checking this stuff as it goes. I own the book after all.

[Rolepgeek]

Ah, I forgot about needing Leaping Dragon Stance to always count as having a running start.

[flabort]

Dude. Just thought of a homebrew feat now. At least the rough bits of it. Remind me to refine it later.

Strike and retreat
Prereqs: ??
Effect: Once per turn if your movement takes an enemy out of your threatened range, as if they had moved, you may make an attack of opportunity against them; this uses your attack of opportunity for the round.
Special: If you have more than one attack of opportunity per round, you may still only make one on your own turn.

[Rolepgeek]

That would be interesting if it wasn't broken.

Basically doubles the number of attacks you get per round at the 'expense' of losing an AoO.
