Would it be alright if I mailed instead of posting them? Not a big deal right now, I know. Most abilities will have physical effects, like wings for flight, and the like. But It'd rather not give away what my creatures are resistant to, unless it's obvious to the opponent. Heavy Deflection, Fast Healing and the like might alter the other guy's strategy. A little nonsense, now and then, is cherished by the wisest men.

As a result, I'm going to have to ask that Menu choices be posted public, and will be listing them along with the creatures themselves on a round-to-round basis. It's a technical necessity of the way the match works. "Whadda ya mean, Orcs get levels too?!?"

If your character can't see or hear something, then they shouldn't be reacting to it. Its only logical.

If that's true I sure as heck wouldn't have wasted a power on flight, man. *Quote:* The first round summoning die is: 2 Cast Summon Monster III for 1d4+1 Pseudonatural monstrous scorpions. umm... how is this combination possible, exactly?

If your character can't see or hear something, then they shouldn't be reacting to it. Its only logical. Which is also why I post the results of your respective Spellcraft/Psicraft checks to determine what each other is casting/manifesting. Letting you know what your character knows. I wouldn't have to bother with it if we simply assumed that you know everything you can read in the posts. *Quote:* The ceiling height in the tavern is 12'. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- woah... where was this posted? If that's true I sure as heck wouldn't have wasted a power on flight, man. Nem Z, it is rule 10: *Quote:* 10) The tournament venue consists of a 40' square board made up of 64 5' squares of wooden floor paneling in alternating light and dark colors. Summoners are asked to make every reasonable effort not to damage the establishment, either themselves or with their summoned creatures. A raised platform sits at either end of the board, raising the Summoners 5' up above the level of the board. A Summoner can kneel down and reach a creature occupying any of the three spaces on their Summoner's Row adjacent to their platform (for the purpose of touch spells and the like). The ceiling of the Inn is only 12' above the floor level (and thus only 7' above the Summoner's heads) The 5' space surrounding the board is clear of all impediments (other than the summoning platforms), and Inn staff will make every effort to keep them clear, but beyond that distance are numerous patrons who will be observing the match. Their safety is of considerable importance, so please keep a tight control over both summoned creatures and area effects. "Whadda ya mean, Orcs get levels too?!?"

How does that affect my ability to cast a dispel on a wall? I'm not seeing where in the dispel or wall description that it requires me to know what was cast.

However, without an appropriate Psicraft check, your character cannot determine whether the power that manifested the wall has a permanent duration (and is thus subject to dispelling) or has an Instantaneous duration (and thus cannot be dispelled). The same would go for a psion trying to figure out if a spell created wall is dispellable or not. They would need an appropriate spellcraft check to recognize the spell (and therefore know its duration).

Posts: 3566 (06/03/05 08:28:03) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Well its up to you. You have to decide whether your character would risk a dispel magic on trying to get rid of a potentially non-dispellable wall. I'm not saying they wouldn't, just that you have to consider that when making your decision.

You can guess that it might be dispellable...some arcane walls are, some aren't. I mainly brought up the Arcana/Psionics issue to explain why people keep making their spellcraft checks against other casters, but keep failing them when it's Psi vs Arcane/divine caster. Dispel Magic most assuredly would work against (most) powers, and Negate Psionics against (most) spells. "Whadda ya mean, Orcs get levels too?!?"

Not a big deal just reminding you. Yeah I meant Natures ally, sorry about that. Also about my casting the speak with animals I knew that as soon as i casted it that round the next i would be able to summon the elementals, but if i didn't cast it then that next round i couldn't be able to cast a summons again because it would a lower summoning die. Chance I take for messing up my prep spell. It will be sad to see that character go because of a prep spell mess up lol. He still has a chance.

Thus the statement that you control no squares at the end of round 1 is true.

Not a big deal just reminding you. BP quotes it correct. The stats are as of the end of round 1, the creature appears on your turn during round 2. It's a bit confusing to hear about creatures appearing then not seeing them on the scoreboard, but it's easier to see the "directly applies to me" stuff right up front. And please don't take any razzing by the commentators too seriously, and DEFINATELY not as criticism from me. I'm just trying to make up some good dialog as I go, and I'll grab a bit of anything I see to build it with. You're still in this, if you get a lucky break here or there.

Didn't mean to have you think that i was taking that stuff seriously. I am just giving myself a hard time for that bonehead move at the beginning. It is just a note for next time not to post the first info right before studying with a wife that is bugging me lol. I love the dialogue and it provides something good to read. Want you to know that I am loving this game and learning quick. But what I want the rest of you to know is that if/when Andorax starts another game I will be much better prepared and much wiser.

The third tourney (already have the layout blocked out in my mind) should be an astounding spectacle...but in order to really work, I'm going to very badly want 16 summoners to compete.

Also you having second thoughts about walls and the small amount of rounds.
