[OOC] Out of Character: The Dragons Eye

[holyblade]

Sorry about not being on lately. Had to do the opening night of a school play and the after parties as well as some other activities. I promise to be on more often if my schedule doesn't try and eat me.

[rngrbob]

Okay if it dose holyblade let me know by leaving me a pm.

[OodSigma]

Oh, we have 2 Wolves

[nyttyn]

Double werewolf

all across the sky

[rngrbob]

Yes we do OodSigma, have two wolves in the party lol and yes double werewolves all across the sky indeed nyttyn.

Ryuken, what are you trying to sense motive on Alec? seeing if he's nice enough to trust and befriend? jw okay.

[Ryuken]

I used sense motive against his bluff check.

Alec is embarrassed and tries to cover up his changing expression when the beast invades his thoughts. He attempts to hide his angered features by smiling and this is his "success" of that action.

That's why Amalia saw a glimpse of his anger and wondered about it

[rngrbob]

I seen that now, I understand what you were doing.
So yes you did see a glimpse of Alec's anger towards Decarde, which he didn't hide to well through his fake smile. Since everyone in
the tavern can actually see his hatred for Decarde.

[nyttyn]

Two 19s in a row. Do I get a extra turn?

[Ryuken]

Holy cra.. two 19s in one post ... you sure you're not cheating somehow? And then these skill rank/ attribute bonuses I just hope you have as much luck when we meet our first enemies

[holyblade]

dang. I sorta meant for Alec to be mad at the wolf that turned him into a monster, but I guess that plans out the window. Oh well, now we get to see how badly I lose this card game. Can I make a wisdom check to play my hand instead of a bluff check please? I can fluff it so it makes sense...or I can just suck it up and play it normally

[nyttyn]

Wisdom makes more sense for you to do a card roll if you play based on a cold, calculated logic.

Decarde, however, does NOT follow this cold, calculated logic.

And as a hypothetical example, here's the result of one round of combat against Decarde.

BAB +1, Str +7, forging BAB for power atack...

Dice ATTACKCHANCE:

1d20+7

(20)+7

Total = 27

Dice Damage:

2d4+9

(3, 2)+9

Total = 14

x4 damage because it's a scythe critical, and..

Well, you just suffered 56 damage.

[OodSigma]

I wouldn't be gloating about battle just yet. That tends to upset DMs and seeing as you are our only vampire it would be pretty simple for him to put in a few "Sunlight" spells and their ilk. Remember, vampires have the most strengths, but also the most weaknesses.

[nyttyn]

The man asked. On a serious note, IIRC there aren't any base spells that qualify as "sunlight." Being vulnerable to the sun is pretty crippling though.

I will probably have to get a magic umbrella like the one from Order of the Stick to counter it.

[OodSigma]

Sunbeam and Sunburst specifically do extra damage to Undead and even more extra to creatures who are vulnerable to damage from sunlight. What do you mean "base spells"?

[nyttyn]

Extra damage, yes.

The oh god face melting that occurs from natural sunlight? No


<---Is very technical.

Edit: Sunbeam even do extra damage under the sunlight argument. Vampires are vulnerable to sunlight, and not bright lights in general. They still take extra damage for being undead though. Sunburst specifices double damage to sunlight vulnerable creatures, so it does in fact inflict extra damage under the sunlight argument. They also take extra damage for being undead.

Both are thankfully moot right now since they're rather high level spells, being 7th and 8th level.
