The Creeping Killer(s) [OOC]

[Sandman XI]

Targeted: A targeted area effect is an option for any effect that normally requires an attack roll. It allows the effect to “attack†everyone in the affected area. The attacker makes a single attack roll for the effect, comparing the result to the Defense of each potential target in the area, meaning the effect may hit some and miss others. The targets hit by the attack receive the normal saving throw against it, but do not get a Reflex save to reduce or eliminate the effect, unlike general area effects. The Evasion feat does not apply to targeted area effects, since they do not allow a Reflex saving throw. Attack and Save DC trade-offs apply to targeted area effects, since they require an attack roll.

As for the Drain part, yeah, I figured Drain Toughness was too farfetched, so I will go with your suggestion:

Drain Constitution 13 (Extras: Area [burst], Selective; Power Feats: Accurate 2, Precise 2)

[Dr Archeville]

A) You never said it was a Targeted Area, and

I'm pretty sure we're not using Targeted Area effects here (we're still working on getting the House Rules section fully updated). I'll double-check, though.

[Veiled Malice]

Sorry I haven't posted yet. Be assured that it's not that I've forgotten, I just have had a ton of real life crap to deal with.

I'll get to it tomorrow, promise! *crosses fingers*

[Dr Archeville]

It's the holidays, and final exam time for folks who're in school (and my work schedules gotten much more hectic). A slowdown isn't exactly unexpected ;)

[Veiled Malice]

Okay, so I missed my own deadline, but I at least posted.

Anyway, Mashin-kun now has Flight 5, using 10 of his 14 pp.

[Dr Archeville]

Sounds good

Oh, and Sandman, since I can't find anything on not allowing Targeted Areas, that's fine to use. (But next time, be sure to tell me that that's the type of Area you're using!)

Nyrath?

[Dr Archeville]

Sandman, since that is a Targeted Area effect, you'll need to make some attack rolls.

[Sandman XI]

I already did, in the post that I mentioned that I was using the area

[Dr Archeville]

.... d'oh!

Hrm, seems Invisible Castle's changed policy somewhat, only registered/logged-in users can put notes in their die roll fields.

One blob (paralyzed) left with Con 1, another left with Con 6.

[Sandman XI]

Before I respond, I'd like to know if Nyrath is still with us.

[Dr Archeville]

I've no idea :(

[Dr Archeville]

Also, since Knight got a crit on those blobs, his Drain Con thing may have actually taken out one additional blob. I'm chatting with the refs on how crits work with Targeted Areas and Non-Damage effects.

[Sandman XI]

I was wondering about that myself.

[Sandman XI]

*pokes thread with a stick*

[Dr Archeville]

Still waiting for Refs to get back to me on the Area thing, and as it is you're the only PC around since Nyrath's not returned yet :(

[Sandman XI]

How about another player recruiting? When Mongrel Angel was the only PC around you got Wesley, Vigor, and Mashin-kun.

[Veiled Malice]

Hey, I'm still here!

...Kinda... <_< >_>

[Dr Archeville]

No need to recruit, this thing's almost done (there's one more visible blob-monster, and... something else ), but Knight is asking Mongrel Angel some questions.

VM, go ahead and make an attack roll for Mashin (assuming he is indeed planning to attack it).

[Sandman XI]

there's one more visible blob-monster

So the crit asploded another one? Cool Mongrel Angel hasn't answered in a while. Can I assume that she's knocked out or shocked or what have you? Either that or you can NPC her doing aerial support again. I'm sorry if this sounds rude, but I want this game to have some progress :)

[Dr Archeville]

So the crit asploded another one? Cool

Er... two visible ones (the Refs still haven't voted.)

Mongrel Angel hasn't answered in a while. Can I assume that she's knocked out or shocked or what have you? Either that or you can NPC her doing aerial support again. I'm sorry if this sounds rude, but I want this game to have some progress

In the interest in moving this along, I'll say she's flown up and out as soon as the two on her asploded.

[Dr Archeville]

Sandman, I need a Notice check from Knight to see what he can detect, and a Medicine check to see what he understands.

[Sandman XI]

Notice and Medicine (1d20+10=14, 1d20+7=21)

If I can take 10 on the Notice, I'd like to do so, but I rolled just in case.

[Dr Archeville]

I'll say you can, yes, since the blob's paralyzed.

For now.

Dun dun DUN!!!

[Sandman XI]

Should we make Sense Motive checks or are the zebras running away just background?

[Dr Archeville]

A DC -5 Sense Motive check tells you "they're scared s#!tless of the blobs!" ;)
