Drop sap (free action).
Cast Blade of Blood as a swift action.
Charge, wielding hammer two-handed. 2d8+1d6+4 damage, +5 (+3+2) to hit.

+ an extra 1 to damage and to hit!! YEAH! Go Team Chanting Bard!

[GiglameshDespair]

Bonus to hit is always good. So a theoretical maximum of 27 damage. A minimum of 8. Assuming Avalanche hits, of course.

So, this is an over-level encounter? My knowledge roll passed, I should at least be able to tell the CR...given this is a "thinky" battle, I also need to know a thing.

How does one make sure these things don't attack your own people? Is it designed to recognize them somehow? How does it know not to hurt them?

I know I passed my knowledge roll.

I also like that it is vulnerable to magic when we have no offensive magic. And wizards and druids are banned, lol, what's magic. Sort of waste of time there.

Also, blargh. Hit me with 9 damage through 18 AC with the Hex and damage penalty.

So much blargh.

It is an overleveled encounter, though not so much that you couldn't beat it. And last I checked, Culpa is a priest and Ava is a favoured soul. And it hit you for seven damage, not nine. I forgot to add the damage penalty, and added it on. Besides, it rolled pretty high for damage regardless. And yes, they are designed to have basic recognition of people.

[Dwarmin]

Most of it is still buff/healing magic tho...

The Lawful evil answer to this encounter is human shields!

[GiglameshDespair]

Yeah, divine magic, especially on the early levels, hasn't got much direct damage.

[Dwarmin]

Yeah, not to say it's not in our reach eventually-eventually Ari will be our best spellcaster/wandslinger. He just needs to know fireball instead of "dancing lights".

[Dwarmin]

Also, what do you guys think of my awesome plan? I figure it's either dumb/safe, at which point it won't risk hurting one of the hostages, or it's smart/aggressive, at which point I suppose it won't care what it hits.

[flame99]

What book is Blade of Blood from? Since WotC took down DnDTools, it's become nigh impossible to check spell effects, and I can't find the book it came from online.

[GiglameshDespair]

The changeling could at least try using it's bow...

PHBII, I think. As a swift action, add +1d6 damage or take damage (2d6, i think?) to increase that damage to +3d6 on your next attack.

Good plan, if you can do it without it hitting you?

Also, if a good damage roll did you 7HP, and my wand will totally autoroll d6+1 HP back every turn, we get to hit it for free for 5 turns!

AND THEN I CAN FINISH IT OFF WITH SOME DANCING LIGHTS! IN THE FACE!

[Harbingerjm]

The changeling could at least try using it's bow...

-2 to ranged attack rolls, -4 for target engaged in melee, +4AC to target for soft cover, no Sneak Attack or crit chance because Construct... Yeah, while it's difficult to guess my odds with no idea what anyone's needed to roll to be successful, I'm thinking no.
I'm just going to go continue disposing of the squishy meat things that aren't immune to my primary damage source.

[Dwarmin]

Ava's hammer too stronk.

Next up, enemies immune to bludgeon damage!

[Nerjin]

Isn't that essentially the entire party?

[flame99]

Isn't that essentially the entire party?

Aside from Osirio having a guisarme and I think the Prayer Aid and flails can do piercing as well as bludgeoning? Yes.
