Pt. 5: The Journey to White Mountain

Attack, Great hammer:
Attack = + 4 (half level) + 7 (prime attribute) +2 (powerful build) +2 (rage) +2 (favorite weapon) -2 (power attack) = +15
Result of the throw of dice "1d20 +15" :

19 + 15 = 34

Attack has 50% chance to miss due to condition "Blind".

Spend 5 vitality to activate raging assualt

If attack hits:
+14 (2 handed heavy weapon) +5 (favorite weapon) +4 (fire, primal weapon) + 5 (power attack)
Rage, greater +10 / Raging assault +15 (once daily, 5v) = + 54

Result of the throw of dice "1d10 +54" :

2 + 54 = 56

But then again, I have Evasion and a high reflex

Archer 1 adjusts around the boulder so he has LOS on Virgil. He shoots two arrows.
1) 24 vs Ref = miss
2) 25 vs Ref = 17 damage

Archer 2 can't help but also take a few shots at the marshal standing in the clear.
1) 14 vs Ref = miss
2) 27 vs Ref = 16 damage

13+9+3+1 =26 vs reflex
Dmg=24

If they are still standing oli will use rapid spell and do it again.

Robyo wrote:Both Virgil's shots hit the archer by the waterside. The shock grasp damage is not a crit, however, only the bullet damage. If you had crit with the spell attack roll, it would be max damage. Please roll spell damage... and did you spend a move action for gun mage?

yup, stated

Ok, I will roll, but I disagree with your interpretation of the rule.  

shocking grasp damage
Roll(5d6)+2:
4,2,4,6,1,+2
Total:19

Spell damage of shocking grasp is actually tied directly to the bullet attack roll.  The spell's roll is only to determine Daze or not.  The Daze roll can miss, but the Shocking Grasp still hits and does damage.  

Gun Mage specifically says:

Gun Mage: As a move action, you briefly charge your held
firearm with a basic magic ability you know that normally targets a
single foe. If you hit, you discharge the magic ability’s effect in addition
to other damage dealt.

I take that to mean, if I crit on my hit roll with the bullet, the spell damage should crit as well.  The 2nd roll can completely miss and they still take the Shocking Grasp damage, just not the Daze effect.


Did he drop with the second shot or is he still up and Dazed?

Robyo wrote:
And you're welcome to disagree with my ruling, but I don't read Shocking Grasp as auto damage + save or be dazed. It's save and take no damage, or fail save and take damage + dazed. Gun Mage also doesn't say anything about the spell benefiting from a critical hit. It's separate damage dealt. You still get max damage (bypass DR) with the first bullet, obviously.

Neraka: Another GM mistake, the Shambler's bites were vs Reflex, so that's another 14 damage to Neraka.

Yeah, I figured it out after I posted earlier, when I looked at the board. Please be as specific as possible as to your actions and targets, so things can run as smooth and quickly as possible. Fireball hits the vynes too. It is singed. Both creatures are still up, however.

Does Oli go again?

The fireball adds more damage to the Large vyne monster. It is too much hurt for the plant creature and it crumples to a wilted, scorched pile of detritus.

He seems to be a 1-hit killer, which is very valuable in Radiance, considering the crazy crap monsters can do

Sweet! Stats?

Thunder wave, 30' cone all medium and smaller creatures knocked prone, no save.
