What's your bonus to Acrobatics / Adoration DC / remaining hitpoints? 

Permalink

You have +3 Dex? ...But of course you do, and that's why you have 14 AC with a buckler on.

If you're using Acrobatics, you can deny both opportunity attacks something like 25% of the time, deny one but not the other 40% of the time, and deny neither of them 60% of the time. (These are very rough estimates.)

Against your pathetic Armor Class,

You didn't say it was pathetic earlier, why's it suddenly pathetic now?

Permalink

Earlier I thought you had -1 Dex and hide armor on!

Permalink

Right, what I'm saying is that - it wasn't pathetic in your eyes because it showed potential for wearing better armor down the line, but, you just learned that my Dex modifier is four higher than you thought it was, so my AC has even more potential for - 

Permalink

Against your pathetic Armor Class, the weaker one makes half the attacks they attempt. The stronger one makes 75% of them.

(If you were wearing hides your AC would be 18, by the way, and the stronger one would miss on a ten.)

Permalink

If I were wearing hides I'd take an armor check penalty to Acrobatics, and I wouldn't even have the movement to cure moderate Lyvina -

Permalink

You would have the movement if you'd taken the Travel domain - 

Permalink

But then I wouldn't have Adoration!

Permalink

You could swap out Strength (Ferocity)!

Let's say Adoration gives you a 70% chance of negating one attack.

If, at the end of this, only one attack hits you, you survive (unless it's a particularly unlucky confirmed critical). If both hit you, you've got like a 50% chance of going down; it depends on what they roll.

Permalink

Put that together and your odds are, rough estimate, something like 93.25%. 

Permalink

I like those odds better than I like Lyvina's if we leave her there.

Permalink

This is my own fault, I don't want to put all the rest of you at risk as well!

Permalink

You can pay me back the next time I'm the one at fault and you're the one with the magic healing hands. 

Permalink

Yeah, you can pay him back next round, when someone confirms a juicy crit on him with a to-hit of 14.

After this fight I'm taking you shopping for armor.

Permalink

But if the Pope goes down, that's both our healers, and Altronus is hurt, and we're leaving him with three people -

Permalink

If I use total defense, even flanked their strongest fighter needs a sixteen or higher - hm, unless they Aid Another - no, I think it makes more sense to just try and take him out -

Permalink

I've just got this awful apprehension that if we don't have any healers conscious this spirals into a TPK.

Permalink

🤨

Permalink

...Or a TPK minus Choryon.

A 3PK.

Permalink

I'm at full health at 63 effective hitpoints and fast healing 4, I'll be fine unless they focus me.

If the Field Marshall carries smelling salts, common sense says she's got health pots too. If Barry goes down I'll just walk over there and grab one.

Permalink

Do we have enough loot to pool for raise deads?

Permalink

Barry should know, he's the treasurer. 

Permalink

We can't afford raise dead, but we can do reincarnations
