Level Up 2 - Finished

[inspiratieloos]

Should I not attack this round so i dont draw any more fire?

Given the lack of other people doing anything at all you'd probably be attacked anyway.


You could tornado Beta+Charlie which would really reduce the potential damage.

Attack Delta

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

[inspiratieloos]

Nice.

So, Beta and Charlie are stunned, 50% chance that Delta is dead, any kind of damage will kill it 100%, David can still attack or someone could use Speed Slash.

Edit: Instead of the speed slash someone should aid me instead.

[inspiratieloos]

David double shot Alpha

Original Roll String: 2d6-2

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

[inspiratieloos]

Someone tornado Beta and Charlie again?

[inspiratieloos]

Attack Alpha

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

[inspiratieloos]

Welp

[inspiratieloos]

At least it takes the defence off.

[inspiratieloos]

Alpha was already dead, 7 damage-1d2 is 5 or 6 already.

Better to aid Jackal.

[inspiratieloos]

Aid Not Known

One more aid for Not Known should be 2 guaranteed kills.

[inspiratieloos]

Nvm, cross slash +1 dmg is now guaranteed, we win.

[inspiratieloos]

I don't think there's anyone who can take a useful heal action.

[inspiratieloos]

Should I attack because of the very low chance that former will be one shot? Wouldn't it be 1/1-7 * 1/8 * 1/2?

Assuming only one person gets attacked.

Players can't be reduced to 0 in one hit if they have more than 1 hp.

David can scry this round since we don't have NPC actions anyway.

I think this turn just wail on it and see what the scry results are?

[inspiratieloos]

Worth a shot.

[inspiratieloos]

Attack

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

[inspiratieloos]

Luck mitigation:

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

[inspiratieloos]

.... How often do you expect luck mitigation to trigger?

[inspiratieloos]

Pretty much, the moment you switch from one to two dice per roll the chances of luck mitigation being relevant if you count them together go from ~1/30 to ~1/3000.

[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).

[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.

[inspiratieloos]

Focus

[inspiratieloos]

Attack Alpha (focus)

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

[inspiratieloos]

12 damage, after defence that puts it at 11-13, so after split it'll have 5-7 HP.
Unfocused Double Slash?

Another Unfocused Double Slash on Alpha Delta Alpha.

The other focused attacks on Alpha Charlie. The other people can use aid to smooth out the damage after we see the rolls.

[inspiratieloos]

Alpha is cursed and has no defense.

Attack Alpha

Original Roll String: 1d6 (STATIC)

1 6-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

Original Roll String: 1d4 (STATIC)

1 4-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

Good point.

So it was at 11 after my attack, so it might split to 5 or 6. If anyone aids me or you that's a kill.

Formerfish's first attack puts ADA to 5-6, the slime splits if it's at 6 and then dies to the second attack, if it's at 5 it'll survive to 2 hp. 2 aids on FF would guarantee a complete kill, 1 aid means a 50% chance of it dying or surviving at 1 hp, no aid means a 50% chance it splits and dies (leaving a 3hp new slime) or a 50% chance it survives at 2hp. So 1 aid would actually be worse than nothing, but 2 aids would be good.

[inspiratieloos]

Attack Alpha Charlie

[inspiratieloos]

Well that sucks.

After damage and splits it should be at 4-5 hp, so one more decent attack on AC should kill it. We have 2 more actions left over, though I'm not sure there's enough active players.

[inspiratieloos]

Killing a slime effectively heals for 1d8, so just hit Alpha Charlie with a Double Slash.

[inspiratieloos]

I guess for the last action someone can hit ADA to make sure it's dead?

[inspiratieloos]

Since we're having issues with player count:

Official Contest Submission - Active Skill

Name:

Heavy Blow

Cooldown:

4 CD

Description:

Attack for [Attack Dice]+[Attack Dice]+4 damage, this skill uses two actions. (uses one action in Adrenaline Rush)

[inspiratieloos]

I think the first one could end a lot of fights on it's own in one round without a downside, dead enemies can't retaliate after all. 20 CD is kinda pointless since fights don't take that long, might as well just say 'you can't use active skills for the rest of the fight'. I assume 'act as if they have quick strike' means 'this skill grants initiative'? That makes it even stronger as the entire party can just use it regardless of the action threshold.

The downside on the spell seems extreme, it's just going to cause a player to not do anything in any fight until it expires, might as well just say 'you can't act for the next x fights'. The length of the spent debuff also seems very long.

[inspiratieloos]

Problem is that we have no idea how many people are active.

Anyway I was going to suggest pretty much exactly what Not Known already said.

Attack ADAA

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

[inspiratieloos]

[inspiratieloos]

Still alive at whatever it rolled for defence.

[inspiratieloos]

Echo might still be alive at 1 hp if it rolled a 2 for defence, so someone should support Not Known.

[inspiratieloos]

I always forget that one.

[inspiratieloos]

Alpha Echo is already dead.

[inspiratieloos]

So, Alpha Beta. I can use a skill, would it be better to just hit it hard now (probably use Double Slash) or let some other people use normal attacks first and then try to finish it in one shot with Heavy Blow?

[inspiratieloos]

DO NOT USE

DOUBLE SLASH

!
It is now treated as two seperate attacks. It will split the slime twice.

We want to split it twice anyway? Preferably we split it 2-3 times and then kill it this turn so we don't get attacked.

[inspiratieloos]

First hit puts it at 45/46, second at 22/23.

About 25% chance of a heavy blow putting it at 5 hp, that seems better than using a normal attack and guaranteeing it splits again.

Heavy Blow Alpha Beta

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (2, 3) = 5

Original Roll String: 2d4+3

2 4-Sided Dice: (4, 2)+3 = 9

[inspiratieloos]

What do we do with the Cultist?

We left the previous cultist for last because he was helping us by reducing mana costs, but we're not really using spells against this fight anyway. OTOH morale damage is relevant now, a slime at <28 hp shouldn't regenerate morale under the new system and one below 85 should only regen 1 point per turn and the scared status pretty much puts an enemy out of the fight, we could keep the new cultist alive because she makes fear a lot more economical. Ircher how does splitting affect morale, does the new slime spawn with 100% morale or does it copy the parent slime?

[inspiratieloos]

Cast minor heal on dsjstr

Original Roll String: 1d3

1 3-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

Yeah FF you should probably hit AB with something.

[inspiratieloos]

It still has 1 HP left.

[inspiratieloos]

Just have David use double shot on ABB? We have enough actions left to kill it but I'm not sure there's any active players. Then again we can probably kill the split off slimes next turn anyway.

[inspiratieloos]

Also valid

[inspiratieloos]

Fury Blade is meant to be used when you're at 1 hp cross slash and double slash are better otherwise.

As for the cultist, she doesn't have stun resist but she does have quite high defence. Focussing down the slimes first is probably better. We'll probably chip away at her quite a bit when there's no good slime targets anyway.

Attack Alpha Beta Beta

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

[inspiratieloos]

Hmm guess we mis-calculated somewhat. Let's just finish the job.

Attack Alpha Beta

Original Roll String: 1d6 (STATIC)

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

Original Roll String: 1d4 (STATIC)

1 4-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

I think the problem was that the slime doesn't necessarily have to use it's defence roll on the first attack, which isn't an issue normally since everyone at higher level rolls 2 dice anyway.

[inspiratieloos]

AAB should be at 12 hp at most, that's within range of double slash.

[inspiratieloos]

If the cultists defense is an issue I can use fire, I am just not strong enough to face the slimes

You'll be fine. You'd probably be worse off attracting the attention of the cultist anyway.

Though slimes are weak against fire and with the mana reduction and your low base attack rolling d3*2+1 against slimes is better than rolling 1d6.

A bit awkwardly, depending on the exact defence roll and split ABB might either have gone to 6 and split into 2x3 or it might have gone to 5 and not split.

dsjstr, I'd suggest using fire for d3*2+1 against ABB.

[inspiratieloos]

I'm hoping dsjstr will kill ABB so David can hit Andromeda, otherwise aim him at ABB.

[inspiratieloos]

So that's 3 damage, that might kill it depending on the defence and split rolls.

Eh, better safe than sorry.
David attacks ABB

Original Roll String: 1d6-1

1 6-Sided Dice: (6)-1 = 5

[inspiratieloos]

Attack ABBA

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

[inspiratieloos]

With defence that puts it at 6-7 splitting to 3-4.

[inspiratieloos]

Probably better to spend just 1 mana on minor heal to get FF out of danger than 3 on getting everyone 1-2hp that probably won't matter.

[inspiratieloos]

Also Formerfish, before getting healed make sure to use adrenaline rush for the free fury blade and then a normal attack at double damage.

[inspiratieloos]

FF you might want to heal yourself.

[inspiratieloos]

Heavy Blow ABA

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (2, 3) = 5

Original Roll String: 2d4+3

2 4-Sided Dice: (3, 1)+3 = 7

[inspiratieloos]

3 is fine. As long as you're above 1 you can't be killed in one blow.

[inspiratieloos]

Heard, point me in the right direction and I'll pull this trigger.

Alpha Beta Alpha

[inspiratieloos]

Yeah, though you do still hit at *2 damage with normal attacks at 1 hp.

[inspiratieloos]

David Double Shot ABA

Original Roll String: 2d6-3

2 6-Sided Dice: (6, 3)-3 = 6

[inspiratieloos]

Don't worry, at your level you respawn with exactly the same stats you have now. We have reserves.

[inspiratieloos]

Yeah, but we kinda have a serious deficit in actions due to the low active player count and we can heal him if he goes to 1, not acting just means everyone takes more damage because the fight takes longer.

George, I'd suggest casting fire on ABAB.

Attack ABAA

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

[inspiratieloos]

Wait and see what he rolls, if he rolls a 2 or higher it's dead anyway.

[inspiratieloos]

Ah, my bad, I thought new players started at lvl 3.

[inspiratieloos]

That should be ABAA dead

[inspiratieloos]

19, hit for 10, assume 2 def -> 11, assume high split -> 6, so 6 damage is exactly lethal even if it high rolls I think. Am I overlooking something?

[inspiratieloos]

And ABBA is already gone, the slimes available are AA, ABAA and ABAB.

[inspiratieloos]

Well FormerFish, time for you Barbarian class to shine.

Probably Fury Blade -> Meditate?

[inspiratieloos]

Fury Blade AA then meditate I think.

Attack AA

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

[inspiratieloos]

You're on 1 hp so fury blade doesn't incur CD.

[inspiratieloos]

It should be at 8hp now I think?

Attack AAB

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

[dcie]1d4-1[/dice]

[inspiratieloos]

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

[inspiratieloos]

Someone cast fire on it?

[inspiratieloos]

Probably not, AAB is going to create a ~24hp and a ~8hp slimeling already next turn. Maybe hit the cultist with some attacks?

[inspiratieloos]

If the slime rolls a 2 on defence then it's 0 + 6 goes to 2, if it rolls a 1 it's 1 -> split to 3-4 -> dead.

Neither scenario is great. Maybe George should switch to a different target, that way it's guaranteed at 3-4 without a split and a second attack/fire cast should probably kill it properly?

[inspiratieloos]

Attack AABB

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

I guess if I roll 2-3 I can switch off as well.

[inspiratieloos]

I just realised that fire lvl 2 exist and that it's better than attacking vs slimes at lvl 6.

[inspiratieloos]

David attacks AABA

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

[inspiratieloos]

Fire on AAA

Original Roll String: 1d4*2

1 4-Sided Dice: (2)*2 = 4

[inspiratieloos]

It should be at ~20 now.

[inspiratieloos]

So, 100 -> 93 split to 46-47 -> 39-40 split to 19-20 -> attack for 3 triggers defence 17-19 split to 8-10 so that last fire spell should put it at 1-3 hp.

[inspiratieloos]

2 player actions left I think, George's aid doesn't use an action.

David attacks AAA

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

[inspiratieloos]

Yeah Tornado doesn't seem very good here. The slimes are resistant and the cultist has high defence.

[inspiratieloos]

Specifically aid GE, because that one gets doubled.

[inspiratieloos]

Fire AAAB

Original Roll String: 1d4*2

1 4-Sided Dice: (3)*2 = 6

+1

[inspiratieloos]

I think it's dead?

[inspiratieloos]

We have 1 new 8-9 hp slime being spawned next turn atm, so it's probably worth starting on hitting AAA.

[inspiratieloos]

I think it's dead?

AAAB is still alive.... has 4 or 3 hp left.

20 hp, 3 damage -> 17 split to 8-9 -> 9 damage -> 0 I think?

[inspiratieloos]

[inspiratieloos]

Fire on AAABA

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

[inspiratieloos]

You've been healed so you won't die.

[inspiratieloos]

Fire on 5A

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

[inspiratieloos]

It never stood a chance.

[inspiratieloos]

Fire AAAB

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

[inspiratieloos]

She'll probably flee now that the slimes are dead, but hitting her can't hurt.

[inspiratieloos]

More fire or what?

Fire is kinda useless against things that aren't weak against it. Even against slimes it wouldn't be very good without the discount.

[inspiratieloos]

Ask about what her cult actually wants to accomplish/believes in maybe? Surely a cultist would want to expound on that?

[inspiratieloos]

Stat point into MP

Double Slash Alpha

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (5, 2) = 7

Original Roll String: 2d4-1

2 4-Sided Dice: (2, 4)-1 = 5

[inspiratieloos]

Third attack on the same enemy.

[inspiratieloos]

Attack Charlie

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

[inspiratieloos]

Probably Gamma Emerald?

[inspiratieloos]

Healing costs mana, meditate is free.

[inspiratieloos]

Anyone who can do an aid action on that?

[inspiratieloos]

I don't think there has ever previously been an instance where a damage over time effect lasted after a battle ended. From a logical perspective, you should probably take all the damage at once at the end of the battle. At the same time, most statuses etc. clear after a battle. I'm going to go with the middle road of you take damage on the final round of the battle, but the status clears after that.

I think the logical assumption is that for most status effects you can easily deal with them without further harm when there aren't enemies actively trying to kill you.

[inspiratieloos]

Double Slash Beta

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (5, 6) = 11

Original Roll String: 2d4-1

2 4-Sided Dice: (3, 3)-1 = 5

[inspiratieloos]

That puts it at 6.

[inspiratieloos]

Iirc orange stuns, green poisons, purple casts fear, yellow acid. Don't remember red and blue, should probably be in the thread somewhere.

[inspiratieloos]

White is a damage caster iirc, not sure about black. Curse maybe?

Attack Golf

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

[inspiratieloos]

Crit, so it should be stunned.

[inspiratieloos]

One more action left. Maybe Tornado on Alpha and Echo?

[inspiratieloos]

Someone kill Golf.

Attack Echo

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

[inspiratieloos]

Probably better to have an attack on Echo first and only if that doesn't kill it Tornado it, if Echo dies to the attack we can use Tornado to stun two other slimes.

[inspiratieloos]

Golf is already dead.

[inspiratieloos]

We have red purple black and silver.

Black seems like the most dangerous, red and purple relatively harmless, we don't know silver but if it's similar to previous silver slimes it's slightly worse than red and purple, it also has defence.

So obviously hit black with a Tornado, silver is the best one to stun of the others but it has defence so Tornado might fail while it's a guaranteed hit on the others.

Best would be Tornado Hotel+India and 2 aid actions on the person casting Tornado.

[inspiratieloos]

Aid Jackal for some extra damage?

[inspiratieloos]

Attack Hotel

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

[inspiratieloos]

Double Slash Juliet

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (1, 3) = 4

Original Roll String: 2d4-1

2 4-Sided Dice: (4, 2)-1 = 5

[inspiratieloos]

That's Juliet dead.

[inspiratieloos]

It means you get -2 to all die rolls, so probably not.

Maybe wait until someone uses a double slash on a still living target and aid them?

[inspiratieloos]

Tornado seems good.

[inspiratieloos]

^this could use an aid action.

[inspiratieloos]

GE meditate?

Attack India

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

[inspiratieloos]

Attack Alpha

[inspiratieloos]

Attack Alpha properly this time

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

[inspiratieloos]

David attacks India

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

Original Roll String: 1d3

1 3-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

[inspiratieloos]

The one thing I'd really want is the scroll of resurrection but that's out of our price range.

We have some healing items already and so far the few healing spells we have are enough. Morale is only an issue if we encounter some dedicated morale harming enemies and in that case the scroll isn't going to do much good anyway.
Enemies tend to leave people who aren't attacking alone already so invisibility if also meh, though it could be useful at the end of a turn to avoid a round of damage maybe?

Then there's the offensive crystals. Ircher does the second hasted action count against the action threshold? If it does the fury crystal is pretty useless, if it doesn't it's close to double damage for three rounds.

[inspiratieloos]

We have a morale spell already, so the scrolls will only save a little bit of mana.

The fury crystal seems like the only item that can really turn a loss into a win.

[inspiratieloos]

Murder the Slimemancer ASAP?

We have an about 60% chance of killing him in one turn if we throw Heavy Blow + 3 Double Slashes + David's double shot at him. Then we possibly have some aid actions and some tricky dice abilities to mitigate bad rolls to improve the odds.

[inspiratieloos]

Tiny Slime doesn't have mana so probably not too many exotic abilities, even if we fail, all we're wasting is some overall damage from stacking penalty and we can potentially stop him from getting his mass summon off.

[inspiratieloos]

Cultist is immune to crowd control.

[inspiratieloos]

Wrong cultist:
- Passive Skill "Control Mastery": This creature is immune to all crowd-control effects (including stuns and silencing).

[inspiratieloos]

Neither, we don't have enough damage now that we've used an action on crowd control, so it's better to split the attacks to avoid the stacking penalty.

[inspiratieloos]

So, two double slashes on slimemancer, two on cultist?

[inspiratieloos]

Double Slash Slimemancer

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (2, 1) = 3

Original Roll String: 2d4-1

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

[inspiratieloos]

Keep in mind that up to lvl 6 fire is more effective against slimes than attacking as long as the cultist is alive.

Attack Zykkia

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

[inspiratieloos]

Attack Zykkia

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

[inspiratieloos]

Zykkia is dead I think, 19 damage vs 14 hp and only 1d2+2 defence.

[inspiratieloos]

Good point. For some reason I had it in my head she'd go unconscious at 1 hp.

[inspiratieloos]

Attack Slimemancer

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 6-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

[inspiratieloos]

Slimemancer

[inspiratieloos]

Attack for the bonus and then use David to cast minor heal on you.

[inspiratieloos]

Do we have anything that can hit the Slimemancer?

[inspiratieloos]

So... Kill Proto-T slime?

[inspiratieloos]

Formerfish, are you going to attack?

[inspiratieloos]

Cast minor heal on David

Original Roll String: 1d3

1 3-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

David casts minor heal on Formerfish

Original Roll String: 1d3

1 3-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

[inspiratieloos]

Attack Zykkia

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

[inspiratieloos]

Proto-T is dead, seems we've decided to go for Zykkia next.

[inspiratieloos]

Cast fire on slimemancer

[inspiratieloos]

Take out Zykkia?

[inspiratieloos]

And hope some non-disabled people show up?

[inspiratieloos]

GE, Cerberus and Jackal are fine, if they show up we don't have an issue. Without them the scroll is probably worth it.

[inspiratieloos]

Attack Zykkia

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

[inspiratieloos]

Trick die

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

[inspiratieloos]

2 more actions available, those should be fire on Zykkia and heal on David, so either one more person shows up and does fire+scrolls FF so he can heal David or two more show up and FF can regen morale at start of next turn.

[inspiratieloos]

Obviously someone needs to cast fire on Zykkia, apart form that either just pile on the G slime or maybe cast some tornadoes to reduce incoming damage. David also needs to be healed.

[inspiratieloos]

NK, maybe you can cast heal on David?

Attack Proto-G Slime

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

[inspiratieloos]

Aid Jackal

[inspiratieloos]

I think it would be better to use as many aids on Jackal as possible to boost his heal all.

Attack Proto-G Slime

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

[inspiratieloos]

... Well, that was easy.

[inspiratieloos]

Should I use heavy blow on the sharpshooter?

[inspiratieloos]

Heavy Blow Cultist Sharpshooter

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

Original Roll String: 1d4+4

1 4-Sided Dice: (4)+4 = 8

[inspiratieloos]

6-8 HP left

[inspiratieloos]

So, who to attack next?

[inspiratieloos]

Attack Alpha

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

[inspiratieloos]

Attack Alpha

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

[inspiratieloos]

Attack Beta

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

[inspiratieloos]

dsjstr meditates then me and NK finish her off?

[inspiratieloos]

Heavy Blade Alpha

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (6, 5) = 11

Original Roll String: 2d4+4

2 4-Sided Dice: (1, 1)+4 = 6

[inspiratieloos]

We barely have enough people to fill the actions, no sense wasting someone on scrying on pretty basic enemies, they're all the same anyway so knowing what they do doesn't really change our strategy.

[inspiratieloos]

Attack Charlie

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

[inspiratieloos]

Just a note that if you have any feedback/suggestions, you are still welcome to provide them. Particularly, I am interested in your thoughts regarding the current balance of some spells like say Magic Arrows.

The reading isn't entirely clear, it says it costs 1 mana and uses 1 mana per target, is the cost a minimum because you need to have at least one target or is it a cost to use at all and then +1 for each target? (seems to be just 1 per target as GE used 4 mana for 4 targets)

I don't think it's very useful, you're spreading out damage while it's usually better to focus on one target and you're triggering a defence roll on each one. Against these guys with 1d3 defence you need to spend 4 mana, over half your pool for multiple fights, just to do more expected damage than a double slash and then it's still inefficient because you're damaging multiple targets slightly instead of just killing one. Being able to just spend x mana to do xd8 to a target (and triggering only one defence roll) would make the damage actually efficient, but then it'd still be a niche use due to the mana consumption being unsustainable and needing to spend 2 just to break even with double slash.

[inspiratieloos]

I think Charlie has 2-4 HP remaining?

[inspiratieloos]

Skill, what would even be a good spell for this situation?

[inspiratieloos]

Attack Beta

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

[inspiratieloos]

I don't think you've actually used an ability yet.

[inspiratieloos]

Attack Delta

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

[inspiratieloos]

So.... Do we just hit it?

[inspiratieloos]

My main issue is that it could just as easily be a summoner in which case we do want to kill it as quickly as possible.

[inspiratieloos]

Double Slash Alpha

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (3, 1) = 4

Original Roll String: 2d4-2

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

[inspiratieloos]

Attack Alpha

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

[inspiratieloos]

Wrestle Alpha to the ground and take the necklace

More seriously, seems like Alpha is immortal until the 7 turn timer runs out, so I think the strategy is to just put them at 1HP and then wait?

[inspiratieloos]

Yeah

Attack Alpha

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

[inspiratieloos]

Well, we do want to bring alpha down to 1 HP in case they become vulnerable at some point.

Attack Alpha

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

[inspiratieloos]

Well, guess that's done.

[inspiratieloos]

And take off 1 hp.

Debuffs probably next round, so they'll last for the 2nd phase.

[inspiratieloos]

Alpha has healing grace, so any attack will put them at 1.

[inspiratieloos]

Skip turn

[inspiratieloos]

What happens if multiple people use redirection shield on the same target?

[inspiratieloos]

I wouldn't use magic arrow, they still all get a 1d3 defence roll on each shot, so even two magic arrows on the same target isn't that likely to kill. Provoke+redirection shield seems like a better tactic.

[inspiratieloos]

Cast Redirection Shield on NK15

[inspiratieloos]

Jup

[inspiratieloos]

Probably try quick slash on some low hp enemies?

[inspiratieloos]

NK still has those redirection shields, so he should probably provoke again.

Ircher, does blessing improve the rolls for the redirection shield counterattack? If so should it be cast on the person provoking or the person using redirection shield?

[inspiratieloos]

Cast Tornado on Delta and Echo

Original Roll String: 1d6+2

1 6-Sided Dice: (1)+2 = 3

Original Roll String: 1d6+2

1 6-Sided Dice: (4)+2 = 6

Allahandra casts lvl2 Tornado on Hotel and India

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (4, 5) = 9

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (6, 3) = 9

[inspiratieloos]

Someone available to Speed Slash Oscar?

[inspiratieloos]

If I get another +1 shouldn't Echo have taken 1 damage and be stunned? Also you forgot to add the blessing bonus to my redirection shield.

[inspiratieloos]

Blessing gives +2.

Edit: Oh, I see, forgot to take into account it was a lower level Bless.
