Re: (079) What a Gnome Knows

OOC: Doesn't matter much for this combat, I suppose, but doesn't Leudigar fight as "2 men -1"? Would that make a difference on the To Hit rolls? And does he seem to notice if his newly-acquired dagger is easier to use or does more damage than it should?

Freid bashes at the witch, hacking and stabbing, giving no quarter to the hag! He will try to kill her and failing that force her back out of the doorway, so the others can get to her,

If Leudigar can still hear fighting coming from the north branch of the hallway (coming from the mess hall), he'll move in that direction after retrieving his sword and see if he can engage whatever they are fighting from behind.

I'm pretty sure I either posted, or PM'd, or emailed you a while back on this, but I couldn't find it just now. Anyways, yes, that was the position I initially played, but I after the first adventure I thought it had proved to be overly fiddly, so I flipped the Tracker over to Man+1 FC (same as 1st level fighter). All in the interest of test playing the DD ranger and getting it "right" :)

In the heat of battle he hardly remembers much other than trying to survive. The dagger certainly wasn't a problem for him; it came easily to hand when he needed it.

Zax arrives to a blocked passage and watches in dismay as the two ungainly long-legs go at it, barely managing to score hits on each other. He seeths silently at the rear, arms twitching...

Re: (079) What a Gnome Knows

I guess I don't recall reading that anywhere. Does that also affect his HP?
That's half of the advantage of the ranger class. Don't know if outdoor tracking is a fair trade for needing more XP to level.

No; changed Fighting Capability does not alter HD or hp.

Re: (079) What a Gnome Knows

Fried dodges the hag's hesitant push with her dagger, then deftly steps inside her reach and runs her through with his sword. "Oooh," gasps the Hag, "Oi so wantad im" and then crumples in a heap.

The fighting is suddenly over.
Fried vs The Hag

Because the combatants are in contact at the start of the turn, there can be up to three rounds this turn.

First Round
Fried was the attacker and has the advantage of superior reach, so he will continue to attack first.

Man+1 1d20+1=15, which is enough to hit AC4, so it's a hit. 1d6=5 hp damage. The Hag only had 2 hp left, so she is slain.

The combat is abruptly concluded!

Once he sees the fighting is done, Karl cleans his dagger and resheathes it. Then he finds and picks up his sword.

Now he can turn his attention to first aid, if needed. (He's been hit, but I'm not sure about the others.)

The Herald pushes past Freid, barely pausing to issue a brief Nice work compliment, before continuing down the hallway to see if there is more danger behind the hag.
