Here's the macro code of making an attack with PA calculator built-in.

Code: Select all

Macro = #PA

?{Power Attack Value|0}

Code: Select all

&{template:DnD35Attack} {{pcflag=true}} {{name=Verdante Holz}} {{subtags=says "screw the crossbow here comes the greatsword!"}} {{attack1=hitting AC[[1d20cs19 +20 -#PA [PA] ]]}} {{critconfirm1=Crit?:[[1d20cs19 +20 ]]}} {{damage1=for [[2d6 +#PA [PA]]] dmg}}

[DiamondSentinel]

Cool, thanks!

[DiamondSentinel]

Also, greatsword would be 2*PA

[GuyInFreezer]

Also, greatsword would be 2*PA

I realized but I didn't bother fixing it since it's the concept thing.

It should work by just slapping 2*#PA instead.

[DiamondSentinel]

3.5 days, folks!

Anias, Human Beguiler

[Who]

Wait you're not the face? Who's the face?

[Who]

GIF lacks the cha and class skills to face, DS lacks the cha and class skills to face, Hana lacks the skill points to face, I can intimidate but let's not solely rely on intimidate that's not going to end well, and Conman lacks the skill points to full face.

[Who]

Actually I can't face with intimidate, or at least, not past level like 4 or so.

I can start bluffing at level 9 if that helps. Also I can disguise at any level. I can only disguise myself until L5 though.

[DiamondSentinel]

FG's friend might be going face.

[FakeGod]

I don't know if he will continue to play after Sunday.

You shouldn't rely on him to fill a gap in your party composition.

[Who]

Wait shit, I'm going to have less AC than I had as a wizard.

Is that bad?

[Brian Skies]

Wait you're not the face? Who's the face?

I could, but I'm sure the optimized sub-party will figure something out.

[FakeGod]

Brian, I added your character to the campaign.

[Who]

Wait you're not the face? Who's the face?

I could, but I'm sure the optimized sub-party will figure something out.

Our options are:
Hana dumps another stat to raise int by 2 points and then pumps bluff
Conman switches a few points away from other skills and fully pumps diplo
You switch a few points away from other skills and fully pump diplo, or dump something and go 18 int and pump diplo
GIF, DS, or I switches class
We murder every NPC we find (I'm CN, so I would tolerate it just barely depending on how annoying they were, what about the rest of you?)

FG proposed an interesting puzzle:
It's L9, we enter a room with 4 tough-looking snake-people and an eye on chicken legs. Snake people are surrounding the eye, snake people are large, eye is medium. Snake people are wielding greatswords. We know that that the eyeball can use Antimagic field, 3 times per day, 1 round each, standard action. Radius of 20 feet. We don't know what that is. (We don't know if it's a Spell, SLA, su, ex, etc). The snake-people are surrounding the eyeball, it's impossible to charge it.

The room is 40 feet across, squareish, with a 20 foot ceiling. There are 3 exits, all of them are 10 feet accross. We start in one of those. What do we do which doesn't rely on winning initiative?

The best GIF and I came up with was:
Wall of Force on one exit, DS or I covers one exit, the other covers the other. The casters stay in the exit they started in and hide behind whichever melee is protecting that exit. They also buff and heal while backing up. The exits are only 10 feet across and the snakes are large, so if the snakes want to go through they have to do so single file, in which case DS or I could probably take them out even in an AMF. Casters spam magic to deplete the AMF uses, once the eye is out we can wreck everything with magic.

Our biggest risk is DS dying 1v1 against a snakeman in less than 3 rounds. (Also if I died 1v1 against a snakeman in less than 3 rounds it would be a problem, but my chest is bigger than his, he would almost certainly die before me)

[DiamondSentinel]

Level 9 I'm still useful. That's when I get L3 spells, and various other stuff, so I should be able to 1v1 a snakeman. My only concern is if we encounter quite a few enemies. My weakness is groups of enemies that I can't take out with a full attack.

L12 is, of course, my weakest level because it's right before I'd get full channeling, but we might not even go that high, so it's not a problem.

Could you 1v1 a snakeman without magic though? That's the important part. Whoever fights will be fighting in an antimagic field.

[Who]

The other thing is, the snakeman can create magic darkness. The antimagic field counters that though, but they might pull something like hit one of us with an AMF hit the other with darkness.

I will be able to. I should have knowledge devo, and then I'll also have power attack. I told you before. I use magic to augment my characters, but I make them not dependent on magic because of said possibilities.

Edit: Yeah, Yuan Ti are monstrous humanoids, which is under nature, a knowledge I plan on taking.

[FakeGod]

[Who]

I just found out I will not be able to make it on Sunday. Or at least, I won't be able to make the first like half.

[FakeGod]

Thanks for letting me know.

[Brian Skies]

I will face under the condition someone else maxes Sense Motive.

[DiamondSentinel]

You could Just go with Diplo and Sense Motive, and then whatever you need for your build.

[Who]

DS is busy maxing knowledge because both his build requires it and because knowledge is a good skill to max in general, none of the rest of us have it as a class skill.
