[OOC] Who Wants To Go On An Adventure!!! (FULL)

[Dragonbud]

@gammaflux@akje No snacks!

@TheWizardLizard It might be a trap

Does anyone know of anybody that would like to join us since I'm still going to have one spot open. I would prefer if it was someone that was trusted instead of someone off the streets that would join and then get lost because the weren't here the whole time and leave

@Kronshi

Well Spoopy was my +1 so I'm good.

[Dragonbud]

Believe in yourself Carver, because Alula totally believes in him.

How far can the power of love carry? In case carver needs a boost

[TheWizardLizard]

Love makes the world go round.

And it has been known to provide a +2 circumstance bonus to certain skill checks.

[Spoopy Scary]

Carver's only true love is justice.

[The Wanderer]

Speaking of Carver, anyone else find it ironic he has a diplomat skill, but is unable to lie?

@The Wanderer

Carver can make you like him, but is unable to lie about your bad haircut

[The Wanderer]

"How do you feel about our arrangement?"

"You are a vagrant liar and a cheating bastard who takes advantage of everyone around you, and the deal stinks of deceit like a dead rat rotting away in a grainshed."

[Kronshi]

@The Wanderer

There is a difference between diplomacy and bluff

Diplomacy: the ability to make people like you and compromise with you

Bluff: the ability to lie to people very, very well

[Dragonbud]

I'm just surprised that someone was able to jump over Carver without invoking an attack of opportunity

@Dragonbud

Well in this case, in DnD terms, it was by all technicalities Carver's turn and he chose to use charge, while charging if you enter any adjacent enemy squares then you provoke an attack of opportunity. So basically Carver was to busy with his face in the shield charging to stop and swing upwards.

@Kronshi

I knew charging was flawed, but I couldn't remember why. Nice work Carver.

[Voltus_Ventus]

I was going to suggest an ambush but Carver went thumpin' his shield.

@Kronshi

In DnD terms, charging into threatened area doesn't provoke AoO.
Charging trough or out of threatened area does. So Furnace would have been able to take a AoO against Carver, but he's not hostile so the option is usually skipped. Now what the bandit did:
As a move action (at half movement speed) you can move trough threatened space. Moving trough a hostile characters space ads 5 to the roll.
If you fail you still move but provoke.

So what the bandit did was legit, he'd just have to make two tough acrobatics rolls. (one to make the jump, one against Carver's maneuver defence + 5). If he'd failed the first he'd fallen on his face, if he'd failed the second he'd gotten a stab up de hurtybits.

@akje

Yes, but most DnD rules are up to the DM's discretion, it's how I run things and, according to DnD, adjusting the rules to fit your play style is legitimate. So how I did things was just as legit, but either way you make a good point and I did do an acrobatics check for both but considered the fact that he was able to even make a check to be because of AoO

@Kronshi

I'm not debating on how it goes in the game. your game, your rules.
It doesn't have to be just like dnd. Though if you refer to dnd rules as an example, the reference should be correct.

If you want to stay completely true to dnd:
Carver performs a shield bash, bandit evades (so high ac due to dex). bandits turn: he moves trough Carver's space and makes 2 acrobatics rolls successfully, then makes a single kick attack. I'm assuming the bandit has a sweet dex and low armor to pull that off, and (like Separ) something like improved unarmed strike, otherwise the kick would provoke after all since Carver isn't surprised or flanked.

[Spoopy Scary]

Alternatively, my idea is to ruin the whole duel and defeat the swordsman by killing his friends via ambush. Who's up for that? Eh? Eh?

@Spoopy Scary

Oh, god, you went and did it. Carver is NEVER getting over this.

[Spoopy Scary]

Carver is forever guilty by association and will never be able to clean his hands of this. He must his renounce his role as a paladin.

Or, alternatively, he's going to try and kill/subdue Arastroph so he can get back to the honor duel.

Beware the fury of a patient man.

[Kronshi]

Well shit, I didn't see Carver joining the swordsman happening, well Arastoph is probably fucked.
