(OOC) General Discussion

Did any of us make any checks to determine DR?

I'm asking for the defenses for my 1 piece of info.

Also have to make sure Jasir thanks Petra for providing ammo. 4 rocks 4 hits and 42 damage. XD

@Itami
AC 18, touch 9, flat-footed 18

Fort +1, Ref –2, Will +3

DR 5/slashing; Cold immunity; undead traits; Weakness vulnerable to fire

My math might be messed up because I'm not parsing the rounds correctly.

Just for clarity's sake, Selah dealt her damage to Fell 3, not Fell 2 based on her positioning. That was one thing that messed me up.

Sorry if I posted the wrong number Fell.

Okay, I will attempt to revise my original damage tracking attempts based on what WhiteDwarf said about Seelah's hit and Varin's DR offered by Smiley.

Were those the only two errors?


REVISED DAMAGE TRACKER (in Round 2) :

Foes Damage taken: We just learned they have DR vs slashing, etc., hence 'ish'


Fell 1: 1 Pet's disrupt undead + 22 Jasir's magic stones = 23-ish

Fell 2: 31 Ulfr's rock + 5 Varin's magic stone= 36-ish + 10 Ulfr's rock = 46-ish

Fell 3: 20 Jasir's magic stones + 17 Seelah's smite = 37-ish or more (magic sword?), and it's GONE/destroyed

Fell 4: new arrival, 0 damage


Heroes' damage taken:

Ulfr: 6
Jasir: 1
Petra: 3
Varin: 6 + 10 (DR -1 counts against the slam attack, but not against the negative energy magic, unless GM says otherwise?) = 15?
Seelah: 3
Kaelith: 6


Azote & Tork: 4 each

[QUESTION FOR GM: At level 5 Channeler, does Tork have 1/2 of Azote's hp, or does it have less?]

Minus the DR also so almost all of the hits except Seelah's are -5 damage. Fell 2 would only take 26 from my first rock, 0 from the 5 damage hit, and 5 from my second rock for a total of 31.

The rest looks correct now.

IDK, the magic stone spell SPECIFICALLY deals 2d6+2 to any and all undead and says NOTHING about being bludgeoning damage. It is magic, it attacks like a spell, and DR does not work against spells has always been my understanding.



@HeroOfSometimes: Is it out of line to ask you to rule openly on how much damage each undead has taken? Players can't agree what gets reduced and by how much. I will accept it if you rather the count keep going with the '-ISH' ambiguity....I'm just checking what you're comfortable with since it's coming up for the first time and may affect later battles.

I've got my own tracker. I've been treating the bullets as bypass. But I think I was doing it wrong, I think I got them confused with the life trap spell that specifically targets undead. Regardless, I'm not retconning for a few HP of damage.

I suppose I understood "treat them as sling bullets" as referring to being able to use a sling to attack with them because THIS IS THE PHRASING:


If slung, treat them as sling bullets (range increment 50 feet).



But they are still a magic spell, their damage is not typed, see this line:

Each stone that hits deals 1d6+1 points of damage (including the spell’s enhancement bonus), or 2d6+2 points against undead.

It is transmutation magic, the stones have been altered beyond their original composition. (Was my interpretation, YMMV, obvi.)

Hey guys, full transparency, I'm a bit preoccupied at the moment with life stuff. I'll try to stay as engaged as I can without taking away time from my family, but expect that the frequency of posts will remain around current levels for a bit.

Also, I'll go back through and recalculate the damage. Thought I was keeping pretty good track, but I'll yake another look.

I think i messed up my count. You might have it fine. I'm doing two sleep studies this weekend, so I've been really exhausted.

@HeroOfSometimes: No worries, real life comes first!


@Greemology: Sleep studies? Sounds interesting.

To Not clog up in game chat
Petra gave Varin 6 stones.
I have only used (I think) 2 so far.
I feel like he can just keep them in a pocket or side pouch if needed.

Ah, got it. I mean the 2d6. Need to pay more attention. Not sure why I clued into it on yours.

I say we have Petra spell go off save some spells and attacks.
