I will be using these images to represent your characters on the board:

eyestott:


garmr:


Hanasawa:

[eyestott]

Hahaha okay.

[kiwieagle]

So should I submit a character sheet, Caled?

[eyestott]

Yeah!
You don't need to upload it as a picture, just list all the stats.

[eyestott]

Will you be on the australian team?

please say yes

Will you be a tank?

please say yes

[caledfwitch]

So should I submit a character sheet, Caled?

yea man just put it here we're all ears

Spoiler: Movement rules

Each square on the gameboard represents 5 feet.

A Medium or Small sized creature takes up space of 5 feet by 5 feet. (or 1 square)

Therefore, if your speed is 20 feet, then you can move up to 4 squares with 1 move action.

Diagonal movement alternates between counting as 1 and 2 squares of movement.

This picture explains it further: X is where you are.



You see that 1st diagonal space counts as 1, but the 2nd diagonal space counts as 2, which is why it costs 3 squares to get to the 2nd diagonal space.

So here's a question:



eyestott and Hanasawa are currently engaged in melee with spider A.

eyestott has speed of 20 feet, and Hanasawa has speed of 30 feet.

Can eyestott reach spider B with one move action? How about Hanasawa?

[AngryPidgeon]

The one thing other RPGs do right is hexes over squares.

[eyestott]

I cannot reach, but hanasawa can if she goes right 3, then diagonally up and to the right 2. However, as she moves out of Spider A's threatened square, she will be open to an attack of opportunity

[FakeGod]

Very good!

Hanasawa actually ends up provoking total of 3 attacks of opportunity from the spider A when she moves in the route you described.

Good thing creatures only get one attack of opportunity! (there are exceptions to this rule)

[eyestott]

Spiders cant really get feats that would allow that, though, right?

[FakeGod]

Generally, creatures without Int score, such as spiders, cannot get feats, but they could still have bonus feats built-in.

For example, there might be a special strain of spiders called "Hunter Spiders" that are stronger, more agile, and have Combat Reflexes built-in.

Having high skill ranks in the appropriate Knowledge category is vital in recognizing such strain and its abilities before seeing it in action. (failed Knowledge rolls are often accompanied by dire surprises)

I would totally do this btw, I've never played a full campaign and I don't understand how it works that well

[Nexus]

I haven't heard back from Caled, but I did offer to DM. I would prefer Pathfinder, due to the fact I prefer it to 3.5.

Obviously I live in GMT, so you'd have to deal with weird hours, but if anyone is interested in playing with me running, I would be happy to do so.

[FakeGod]

Nexus, how you are planning to run sessions over the net?

I am genuinely curious.

[Nexus]

Roll20 was the plan. Used it before and it works fabulously.

[animorpherv1]

Roll20 is pretty amazing.

[FakeGod]

Fascinating!

[notscience]

hi

[Nexus]

y so sarcasm

[FakeGod]

I signed up, and I'm listening to the tutorials atm.

[FakeGod]

Wow, I really like how they represent visible spaces.

I think they call it dynamic lighting?

[Nexus]

You mean like Fog of War?

[notscience]

Is it too late for me to /in this

[FakeGod]

You mean like Fog of War?

YES
