Should have said no.

[My Name is Immaterial]

I don't remember Rolepgeek ever making this question in a game I played, so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.

[Rolepgeek]

When you're describing results and such, it's a small thing, but could you try to bear in mind where the AC bonuses come from? While, granted, there will still be true misses even against hulking brutes, simply because of screwing up or lucky dodges, most of the time against Celles, for example, attacks will hit...they just won't do anything/penetrate. They'll bash her tower shield, or glance off her armor. Her dogs, being the mutated beasts they are, are similar, though they're more likely to dodge; attacks will likely kinda just scratch the surface/scrape off some of their fur at best(unless the worms have been doing touch attacks, of course). Iron Guard's Glare can be thought of as interfering with attacks by waving a pointy stick, or being a glare that makes opponent's intimidated, with attacks being therefore less forceful, and thus less likely to hit weak points or hit with enough force to do damage.

Just a simple thing, is all, but it helps with suspension of disbelief and immersion.

[Remuthra]

It really does. Maybe a list could be made of our primary AC bonuses for ease of writing?

[My Name is Immaterial]

@ Rolepgeek.
I think I've done that, but I've slowed down recently. I will do that more in the future, though.

Eh, it doesn't have to be that specific. Just, like, it's pretty obvious Celles gets it from armor and shield, while Gregory, Greghir, and Kemik get it from natural armor. Edrick and Alaris have about as much from Dex as from armor, and Cade has it from...somewhere; 'Misc' doesn't really say much(Mage Armor is an Armor bonus, btw)

[My Name is Immaterial]

What did you think of the newest turn?

[Rolepgeek]

I liked it. Disturbs/scares me that these worms have high natural armor bonuses in addition to high attack bonus, but not surprising. Thank you! ^^

I understand if it's more stressful and all, but it also gives us more info; if these worms have been making touch attacks, for example, I'm screwed.

Oh, guys, the nearly dead worm I hit with Leading The Attack still has effectively -4 to it's AC until my next turn...

[My Name is Immaterial]

Thank you for the feed back! By the way, it is your turn.

[Rolepgeek]

DERP

Kemik is a male dog, by the way.

Goddamn it, I'd forgotten I didn't end up making them sisters.

[My Name is Immaterial]

I'll now start to use more gender-pronouns, then.

[Rolepgeek]

Though it doesn't matter thanks to Cade's crit-shot, don't forget Greghir has Combat Reflexes. Unless one of them confuzzled her, she would have gotten some four AoOs, in any case.

EDIT: And don't forget punishing stance! You might not be, I don't know, but Kemik's damage rolls have been on the low side if you've been using the extra damage die(per attack, that is) with Punishing Stance.

[Zako]

Wow, great rolls by Cade there.

Thanks for telling me about that armor bonus stuff. I must have misread that.

I think I have, but I have to know, how did your dog learn a Warblade stance?

[lawastooshort]

Er shall we flee? In any case I will shoot it a bit with my crossbow first.
