Where did you find the rules on the maximum amount of damage you can block? I can't find it.

Er, as far as I'm aware, there isn't a limit. However practically speaking if someone rolls like a 32 against an ally on 2 hp, my average roll of 19 or so  isn't going to be helpful, and even trying would be a wasted action. There's similarly little point in trying to block most attacks past a certain point, effectively healing an ally for a few points of damage probably isn't worth an action unless that few points of damage is enough to keep them from going down.

Thanks for fixingz.   

[Dwarmin]

Ahh, OK.

I just saw Caern get critted twice, and both he and his magical clone crit failed on attacks, so I decided to retroactively go back and have you intercept the attack. I thought you'd want to do so.

[GiglameshDespair]

I think we need to try cutting the Life Fibers shadow threads that are connecting the enemies to the pillars.

[Caellath]

I forgot to check the map at home for a way towards the closest thread, but I remembered I'd better take down the shadow man instead of moving away and getting AoO'd.

[Criptfeind]

I killed the shadowman with an interrupt action, no worries about that.

[Caellath]

Oh yeah, I see the note now. Well, then I'll have to wait for tonight to post my turn proper unless someone gives me coordinates I can move the Caerns to.

[Caellath]

Double post because I want to know how tall those huts are. I want to get at that shadow halfling.

[Dwarmin]

The spiders on the opposite roof are 20ft high, so it follows he's 20ft as well. Should have noted that...

[Caellath]

There, fixed. Sorry about the delay, weekends are usually like that.

Spoiler: Strawberry/Blossom Star, "Mage" (click to show/hide)

Hero Name: Strawberry / Blossom Star
Archetype: Alien Ditz
Level: 1
Player: IronyOwl
Physical Description: The TC-45 Mobile War Platform is a lumbering marvel of military supremacy. Thick, heavily scarred plating conceals room-sized machinery designed to provide titanic strength and energy augmenters powerful enough to level or create buildings, all wrapped around an invincible core of impenetrable support beams. It knows no equal in war, striding ponderously through the battlefield as though it belonged there, and can wipe out entire cities if left unchecked.

Of course, its pilot is an eight inch long centipede, so most of the inhabitants of this dimension just see a young woman wearing a frilly pink dress.
Bio: Strawberry (his "real" name can't really be pronounced using the gigantic slabs the locals try to talk with, so he uses his translated "League Name") was a bright young soldier and pilot in training for the... well, its name can't be pronounced either, but "Doughnut Coalition" is sort of the right translation. An extradimensional empire of centipede-like beings (known as 'Caramels' as translated from their tongue), its supremacy was unmatched in all things.

Alas, this arrogance proved to be their undoing. After the disastrous Gnome Wars of 323, the Coalition realized the awesome, unimaginable physical power of certain alien horrors simply couldn't be matched by conventional methods. They began experimenting with ever larger and more powerful designs, hoping to stand toe to toe with beings of such unbridled physical force as a gnome. However, while their engineering was beyond reproach, their pilots simply could not keep up. Any Doughnut pilot could operate a Snuggle (based on the infamous and fearsome rabbit), and their elite could easily handle a Joker (intended to go toe to toe with a gnome in contests of raw physical force- though not always successfully) with proper training and experience. But beyond that, all but the best of the best simply lacked the Soul Power to power and control such behemoths.

Strawberry was among such best of the best, and underwent constant training and experimentation to push the limits of his ability ever further. Having witnessed but been powerless to stop the devastation of the Gnome Wars, he was filled with the utmost determination to do everything he could now that he was able. Arguably he did, culminating in his ascension to the sole current pilot capable of managing the awesome and ridiculous Blossom-Class War Platform. A gnome among gnomes, its abilities were beyond reproach: The Coalition finally had their weapon.

Unfortunately, by this point they were rather broke, and one soldier, even a very good one, does not an army make. The Doughnut Coalition was forced to accept the grim reality that invading and conquering the fiercely defended lands of the gnomes simply wasn't viable at this time, and instead sent their crack pilot on an extended reconnaissance mission. Though greatly saddened, Strawberry took this as an opportunity to do some more good, to truly come to understand his enemy (and future valued subjects) before his people have to fight them again. Someday, this world will fall under the yoke of the mighty Doughnut Coalition, and when it does, Strawberry will be leading the charge.

Until then, he's joined the Legendary League because their members travel a lot, test themselves against ever greater threats, and have one of the highest tolerances in the world for for seeing a frilly mage sitting there with a blank expression on her face while a centipede hangs out of her mouth and chews on it.

Well, if it's any consolation, I accepted you to play in the alternate universes that you submitted this character into a good deal earlier.

[IronyOwl]

Well, if it's any consolation, I accepted you to play in the alternate universes that you submitted this character into a good deal earlier.

Alas, I just couldn't get into the system or think of a character I liked earlier. I think the unorganized bane/boon/feat systems are deceptively intimidating, because listing them out by attribute like you did for the first two seemed to help immensely.

That said, this is that most ideal of characters that I'll be proud and happy to have made even if I never get to use him, so it's already a victory.

[Caellath]

Nice to finally see you around, IO.

As a note (not a complaint), if IO does join then he'll take the secondary path/role I'd picked. If that happens could I swap Creation for Alteration?
