Time to do what a rogue does best, hide and then strike from an advantageous postion when everyone is dealing with their frineds.

Fire Bolt at Risey's back.

Samara sneers, extending her first and second fingers at the supposed shopkeeper, "Oh, I remember your sort well, stripling. Burn!"

We can kill her after, if need be. We need some people to focus on the upcoming bandit raid...

[My Name is Immaterial]

That's why I'm incapacitating, so she doesn't escape.

[Flying Dice]

1d10 costs nothing and isn't going to kill her. Unless the elf spy is actually a 1st level Commoner with bad luck.

[GiglameshDespair]

She's a herbalist. Fighter, she ain't - we don't know how much health she has. Maybe not a lot.

Can your flamebolt crit?

[kj1225]

Why fight when you can run away and get the drop on your enemies later?

HONOUR

[Criptfeind]

Because we can't hope to outrun them for real, they have dogs that are certainly faster then us. And elves in the woods man. Better we prepare (especially since we are in a clearing now I believe) to meet them head on than get stabbed in the back.

So. Basically.

Only on a natural 20.

And that's only the OOC reasoning why it's not terrible. In character Samara is just a self-centered ass whose natural response to being betrayed is to start flinging pain around and sort out the corpses later.

You say that as if there was any other way to crit

[Criptfeind]

Fighters with the champion archetype can crit on a 18-20!

Which is just such a random ability when I think about.... Seems sorta weak as well... Maybe if it came with the barbarians greater crit things.

[GiglameshDespair]

Apparently fighter champions are pretty weaksauce.
Quite a shame it's the only fighter archetype i havee access to.

[My Name is Immaterial]

I can send over the relevant text, if you want. PM me, if you're interested.

See below: random-ass archetypes.

Yeah, you got to be a special kind of Fighter to get access to be able to do basic combat stuff like parrying, tripping, or feinting. But I guess everyone else can still do it with a common attack roll and descriptive DM:ing

No, it's just unlikely anyone else will be able to do a ranged trip at this point. Doesn't seem the rest have any whippy things or hooked polearms. But that doesn't mean you couldn't try...also, what does melee range matter in a game with no maps, or defined distances? Flavor.

See, the thing is, alot of this stuff is not stated really directly in the rules. It's left up to the GM and players about how to implement however complicated they want it to be-it's more open ended. Like, you could try a feint, right? Even tho I'm not sure what it does. I'm sure we could figure out something.

Anyway, the things with gilg with done more or less on the fly, over PM discussions-no one else bothered to contact me and  to try and work these experimental custom things out, so what do you expect. If I end up making anymore of those decisions, I'll put them somewhere in the OP for everyone to read.
