Chapter 2: Fell Tunnels

unless you can pitch me on how a fancy halberd trick can get you to hit someone as far away as a full move (open to ideas), you would use your move action to go from far to near to the enemy, drop your weapon (I think a free action), use a quick action to draw the javelin, and use a standard action to throw it. I think despite being thrown it is still considered a ranged attack so to would use dexterity, not strength, to make the attack. I didn't see anything on "thrown weapons" in the book being an exception to this, but could be wrong.

Nah, I thought he was within hooking distance, so I was going to try to grab him like a hook grabbing a bad performer off the stage. If he's that far, I'll just javelin him!

Ranged attack by default do not deal miss damage

As for Jomsviking's question, I am trying to remain consistent with the distances I have been giving. As such, Hrafe cannot make it farther in one turn than I dictated. Near and far are subjective to the battlefield, and in this case Hrafe is almost not even in the same fight as the elf, so one movement gets him far from the elf and the second gets him near, but he would need another move to actually engage in melee and he only gets 2, not 3

I'll allow Hrafe to fight in spirit, but to make sure we are on the same page, the elf doesn't get 3 movements while hrafe only gets 2, the elf only gets 2 movements, but he is so far away that it would take hrafe 3 movements to catch up but he only gets 2 each round like everyone (assuming you are using your action to move a 2nd time).

I admit, having the enemy run away does make stuff like this complicated. Effectively, Hrafe and the elf aren't in the same combat anymore. It almost became 2 fights: those dealing with the half-orcs that hadn't gone down yet, and those chasing the elf who was fleeing. Hrafe just so happened to stay back the most to deal with the half-orcs.

As the book says, "To earn this bonus, however, you have to come up with some story about what your character has done that could boost party morale." What has Hrafe done?

It is now Edgar and Ylliane's turn.

Edgar would need 2 moves to reach the enemy, but he knows the enemy can't teleport anymore this battle.
Ylliane could use one move to just barely squeeze past Hrafe, and make a ranged attack, or use two movements to engage in melee.

Hrafe can give one person a +2 to one attack or to their AC, PD, of MD against 1 attack

Will move twice.

I'll allow it for now mainly because Makasi and Hrafe go at the same time and this is supposed to be your action. I'm still on the fence if fight in spirit applies right now, as it reads like it is meant for players that didn't get to be part of the fight at all or that got knocked unconscious and would otherwise do nothing on their turn but a death save. I will do some research on my end to see what will happen if this ever happens again. The main thing is that Hrafe participated in 80% of the fight and is still conscious So I am not sure if this is what they had in mind with this rule or not.

Posting for Ylliane due to inactivity

She misses, dealing 2 damage
