[OOC] Matters of Discussion

[copatt]

Just wanted to let you guys know that I am on call today through Tuesday and at DDXP Wednesday through Sunday. I'll still be checking in and posting, but may be slower than my norm.

[TCSilvermane]

Can I make a listen check to attempt to centralize exactly where the vampires/evil things are?

[TCSilvermane]

Hello?

[Cheaplaffs]

Sorry for the delay - I'm not sure how that would work in combat, but in game terms you can certainly use a listen check to determine where a noise is coming from, or if there are creatures nearby.

This wouldn't help you very much mechanically, though, since I've never heard of using a listen or spot check to compensate for darkness.

[TCSilvermane]

I just needed a somewhat general direction along with distance.

Also, I know a vampire is undead, but they are 'intelligent' undead. Does this make them vulnerable to mind affecting spells?

[Cheaplaffs]

It would depend on the spell. Things like sleep, no. Things like charm person, possibly, but they would get a +2 resist due to the Dark Matter.

[TCSilvermane]

The spell is color spray. It is the only thing I can think of to use in this situation

EDIT: Ill post after I get an answer to this question Sorry about the speed of my posting.

[Cheaplaffs]

Yeah, a color spray would work. That is if you can funnel it somehow not to hit Elliot or Jacob. If you have any spells that hurt undead, that would be worth its weight in gold right now, and is what Elliot is calling for in-game. Keep in mind this is your action for round 1, so you have to take Round 2 into account too. If you don't do anything to prevent yourself from being gazed upon in your post, you begin Round 2 dominated by a Vampire. Each round you should make a will save to break free of the Vampire's control, with a +2 if he's making you do something against your will, such as attacking allies.

Remember you also suffer a 25% spell fail while casting with Dark Matter, but I guess it's better than hoping you'll hit something with Elliot's revolver.

just an FYI, I'll not be available from 5:30 or so today until around noon tomorrow.

No, I dont have any spells that are specifically against undead. Being who Maeva is, she mostly has spells for trickery, mind affecting, or touch attacks, and of her spells, only color spray is going to really do anything right now.

From the descriptions you have made, it seems as if we are grouped together, not very far apart. I think it would be easy to keep the two out of the color spray with just a little movement.

Last time I did a d100 it acted weird. Lets see how it goes. 1-25 is a failed spell.

Dice Spell Failure:

(as this is an older post, these rolls are interpreted by the older (more basic) dice roller code)
d100:	40+7(47)

Dice Spell Failure:

(as this is an older post, these rolls are interpreted by the older (more basic) dice roller code)
d10:	4

Ahhh, waiting on a ruling on my detect undead spell, please, Cheaplaffs. We're kinda stuck until you make one.

[Greaven]

Lol and I'm not sure if the horse is dragging me to my death yet

[Cheaplaffs]

Silvermane - I need to know the effects of your color spray spell to apply it to the enemy.

SRD? Lol :P

2 HD or less: The creature is unconscious, blinded, and stunned for 2d4 rounds, then blinded and stunned for 1d4 rounds, and then stunned for 1 round. (Only living creatures are knocked unconscious.)

3 or 4 HD: The creature is blinded and stunned for 1d4 rounds, then stunned for 1 round.

5 or more HD: The creature is stunned for 1 round.

[Cheaplaffs]

Okay. xD Well, I could have done that!

Thought maybe you'd do my job for me there. : P I guess I'll make those rolls for duration later.
