Level Up 2 - Finished

[Formerfish]

Okkk this was something I was worried about.

[Not Known 15]

Ok. We need another attack on Alpha Delta, and unless it`s a 9+ strength attack, another attack after that.

[Formerfish]

Attack Delta

Original Roll String: 2d4 (STATIC)

2 4-Sided Dice: (4, 2) = 6

I wasn't sure what would happen with pedits popping up.

Invalid because static.

[dsjstr]

For the rule about when it stops splitting with 5 HP or less is that before or after the slime takes damage?

[dsjstr]

If second attack brought delta down to 5 so I'm wondering if Delta is at 2 or 3 HP or 5 HP?

[Ircher]

For the rule about when it stops splitting with 5 HP or less is that before or after the slime takes damage?

The splits are considered after taking damage, so if an attack reduces the slime to 5 HP, it won't split from that attack. (Also keep in mind that splits occur immediately. Say a slime starts with 30 HP. The first attack deals 4 damage bringing the slime to 26 HP before the split and 13 HP after splitting. The next attack needs to deal only 8 damage (not 21 damage) to prevent the slime from splitting further.)

Attack Delta

Original Roll String: 2d4 (STATIC)

2 4-Sided Dice: (2, 1) = 3

As this is static, please reroll.

[Formerfish]

Ok that's not working.

Original Roll String: 2d4

2 4-Sided Dice: (4, 2) = 6

[dsjstr]

Attack Delta

Original Roll String: 1d8

1 8-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

I believe 2+ kills

[dsjstr]

Delta would have split and made Echo who has 8 or 9 health if I did the defense role correctly. We can probably take care of echo too and hopefully not get another split.

[Ircher]

You can't attack split slimes until the next round. (The good news is that they can't attack you.)

[Gamma Emerald]

If we participate by attacking a split slime but not an original, do we get EXP? I’m not getting dicked over on EXP if I can help it.

Yes you do. Any action counts for the purpose of gaining experience.

[Not Known 15]

The rest of us should use Focus. We don`t need MORE slimes.

[dsjstr]

The rest of us should use Focus. We don`t need MORE slimes.

Agreed!

[inspiratieloos]

Focus gets countered if you take damage.

We can target down Alpha, at 23 plus a split it should be in range if we use two double slashes and only summon 1 new slime (that won't attack this round).

Double Slash is a

double attack

. A very bad idea.

[inspiratieloos]

Double slash has consistently been treated as a single attack the entire game, that's why things like blessing and aid only give it +1.

And the split ability says when the slime takes damage, even if it was two attacks it still deals the damage in one go.

[Not Known 15]

that's why things like blessing and aid only give it +1.

Then that has been applied incorrectly; after all, it is supposed to be two attacks at once. Ircher?

[Ircher]

Originally

, the intention was that double slash would only split the slime once;

however

, based on the way I worded the ability ('To be very clear, "taking damage" in this context means per attack,') I think double slash

would

split the slime twice because double slash is indeed considered two attacks. As far as blessings and that ilk goes, that's likely a case of me being forgetful/not thinking, but double slash should receive the bonus (or penalty) on both attack rolls. I will try to do that consistently from now on. If you think I have made a mistake, feel free to pm me or point it out in-thread.

[Ircher]

(expired on 2020-01-02 15:31:46) left in the round. You have four actions left unless I miscounted.

[the worst]

Focus!

[Jackal711]

yeah let's not risk more splits yet

Focus

[inspiratieloos]

Focus

[Ircher]

Not Known 15 takes a deep breath as he attempts to recover from the shock of the slimes splitting. He then leads the charge as he slashes at the smallest slime. (6 on Alpha Delta {1}.)
(Defense:)

Original Roll String: 1d2

1 2-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

Even though the slime dies, this roll is still relevant to determine the health of the split slime.

After Not Known 15 slashes it with his sword, Alpha Delta splits into two smaller slimes. Formerfish follows up Not Known's attack. This time, the slime is too small to split any further. (7 on Alpha Delta {2}.) dsjstr then stabs Alpha Delta, and the slime stops moving. (5 - 1 = 4 on Alpha Delta {3}.) **Alpha Delta is

dead

.**

the worst takes the opportunity to focus and concentrate on making his next attack count. Jackal711 and inspiratieloos do the same.

Alpha moves towards Not Known 15. Alpha Alpha also moves towards Not Known 15.

[Ircher]

Not Known 15 leaps out of the way of Alpha, but he gets caught by Alpha Alpha. He escapes from Alpha Alpha's grip as fast as he can. **Not Known 15 has

21/23

HP left.**

dsjstr stands paralyzed as the slime Alpha Beta comes and hugs him. Eventually, the slime lets him loose, but not before a few holes in his armor were created by the slime's corrosive acid. **dsjstr has

7/15

HP left.**

inspiratieloos sees Alpha Charlie's slow movement in advance, and he jumps over the slime and runs to a safe distance.
