Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Server closed. One CR 20 Pit Fiend captured, chatted with, helped by the (now deceased) frontier trader. The Ice Devil, as a Summon during combat, doesn't count.

Let's see... Rilyrr's 16th, Kaylin's 16th, everyone else 17th?

One vote cast, for Jason, 1000 bonus XP

Jason: 3550
Rilyrr: 3200
Kibin: 2550
Eldon: 2550
Elorin: 2550
Kaylin (1/2 xp for no player): 1600

Log Attached; oh, and who roleplayed best this week?
Edit: Rilyrr's 16th, oops.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

A couple of GM goofs....

Holy damage does lethal damage, because it's an energy attack and thus bypasses damage resistance, and since it's a good effect, it bypasses the regeneration and does lethal damage.

The posion that kiled the frontier trader should have taken a minute to be lethal. The immediate effects of it was 1d6 constitution damage, the secondary damage which goes into effect a minute later is death.

EDIT: We're also all immune to posion, so it was kind of useless to make a fortitude save except for the disease. And the disease is pointless, as eating Hero's Feast cures all diseases. And I keep forgetting to add the +1 bonus to attack rolls and will saves...

EDIT EDIT: And my breath weapon penetrates all damage resistance, because it's a supernatural effect. Hmmm...

EDIT EDIT EDIT: Out of curiosity, do you have any type of instant messaging client that you use, such as AIM or MSN messenger?

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

He was killed by a poison's secondary effect? Yeah, he'd definitely still be alive, then. Secondary effects from poison have a 1 minute delay, 10 rounds, more than enough time for us to have finished the summoned monster, noticed the trader's poisoned state (with prompting from him, probably), and cured it. If he's a druid, he could probably have neutralized it himself in that time, anyway.

Holy does not bypass the Pit Fiend's regen because the extra damage is added as weapon damage, which requires that it also be silver to bypass the regen. Against the Ice Devil, silver is not needed so the good alignment effect of Holy is sufficient.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Notice the holy description. Moderate evocation [good], which means it's a GOOD EFFECT. Thus, it should bypass regeneration. It also uses Holy Smite, which is a good effect...

EDIT: Which probally doesn't bypass the damage reduction. Just the regeneration. Hmmmm.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Not quite;
No mention of energy damage.

No; he got poisoned twice, and ran out of Con (bad rolls - a 6 and a 5, assigned him a mere 10); it's damage, so stacks.The Fort saves were for the numbing cold slow on blue, not red's poison and disease.Not, however, Energy Resistance (Cold), which he had a few points in.Not that I use, now.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

That's what it shows up as under Detect Magic, not what it does.

"Regeneration (Ex): A pit fiend takes normal damage from good-aligned silvered weapons, and from spells or effects with the good descriptor."

Compare to an Ice Devil's: "Regeneration (Ex): An ice devil takes normal damage from good-aligned weapons and from spells or effects with the good descriptor."

And a Chain Devil's: "Regeneration (Ex): Chain devils take normal damage from silvered weapons, good-aligned weapons, and spells or effects with the good descriptor."

Holy makes the weapon good-aligned, and adds damage vs. Evil critters. Unless it's both good-aligned and silver, however, it doesn't get through the Pit Fiend's, unless it's a spell or similar effect; a Holy Smite spell would get past, but the weapon effect Holy merely aligns the weapon and increases base damage. Unless it's also Silver, it's not killing the Pit Fiend.

sorry, forgot to mention it earlier but I got enough xp to level so I get 3200 xp?

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Hmmmm. Okay, maybe I was reading a little too into it. My breath weapon would still be good to bypass many creatures damage resistances, however, I need to remember that.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Yep, I'll go back and edit in a moment.

And yes, it's Su, so it works in making, say, a Stone Golem chill out.
