[OOC] OOC And Metagame

[epelj1]

Tall enough? I thought Half-Orcs were short, for some odd reason.

6'3" Bareris takes after his mother

[epelj1]

Hope everyone's ready for some fun!

[JustDave]

Welcome back everybody. To sum up the current situation, you are at the end of the tunnel. The pesky fire beetles have not bothered this far down the tunnel (about 1 furlong which is 1/8th mile which is about 230 yards). Jaya has alerted some nasty undead things to your prescence. She then hopped down. Waiting on all players to make some kind of post now. Do you move down the hall? Do you stay there? Do you try and keep quiet? or some combination or something I haven't thought of.

[JustDave]

Game mechanics allow free movement through friendly spaces. You could setup archers in front and have them move back after firing. Waiting on Bareris to post to make sure all are in agreement to move back down the hall.

[Alexader]

I felt a time travel in the force

[epelj1]

You're just jealous because you're hammer didn't killi t.

[Alexader]

Yes it did, lets see 7 normal damage +5 positive energy which ripped at the fabric of it's existance verses Jaya's 3 damage after DR to piercing weapons

Just because it only takes one extra straw to break the camels back, it doesn't mean that one tiny straw broke it

Why is it epelj1 that the games i play with you are always the fun ones, lets see, bastards of eberus, still running through the sewers with the mage Cough* winning

Evil Campaign,............. rocking!

and here we are again. We'll see how this one turns out

[epelj1]

Yep, and without that one tiny straw, that camel would come and kick your ass.

[Alexader]

Sure would , well he'd try

Read edits last btw

[Statutory Plum]

to Specify Ysuran is readying a melee attack as soon as a creature comes within striking distance. I believe this is called a "brace" action for specifics.

[epelj1]

Excuse me, I'm ignorant.

Would this supersede any other attacks/initiative? IE: as soon as the monster comes within distance, you strike? Almost like an AoO for entering a threatened space?

And, yes, I know that you don't actually get AoOs for entering threatened spaces, just making the analogy.

[Valeur]

Brace action works the same as a delayed action, but is keyed not to initiative but to a specific contigency action. In this instant, it would be someone moving within striking distance of Ysuran.

At least, that's how I remember it.

[Battlechaser]

He forgoes his standard action to act as soon as one of the remaining ghouls is in reach, thereby changing his order in initiative.

[epelj1]

Readying an Action: You can ready a standard action, a move action, a swift action, or a free action. To do so, specify the action you will take and the conditions under which you will take it. Then, anytime before your next action, you may take the readied action in response to that condition. The action occurs just before the action that triggers it. If the triggered action is part of another character's activities, you interrupt the other character. Assuming he is still capable of doing so, he continues his actions once you complete your readied action. Your initiative result changes. For the rest of the encounter, your initiative result is the count on which you took the readied action, and you act immediately ahead of the character whose action triggered your readied action.

Taken from here.
