Warm up thread: Alicia

[Anastasia]

Okay, this will be largely done OOC. Your enemy will be a Nessian Pit Fiend. You start 100ft away from it on a perfectly blank and featureless plain since this is an OOC combat demo. You have no time before battle for spells or preparations, you're going in raw. Do you have any auras or automatic abilities that affect the Nessian from here?

[Ebiris]

No passive effects at this range.

Taking 10 for 52 on knowledge planes to get an idea of its AC and SR values.

AC is around 50 and SR is around 45. Approximately. No need for italics by the way, this is just warm up.

> roll 1d20+17
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+17 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{18}

Alicia opens. Go, Alicia.

[Ebiris]

Okay, a few ways this could be approached. Ordinarily a nessian probably wouldn't be worth expending too much effort, but since she's been caught with no buffs active I'll start off with a quickened time stop. -1 swift action and -1 11th level slot.

[16:15] <@Ebiris> roll 1d4+1 time stop rounds
[16:15] <Rei-chan> Ebiris rolled : 1d4+1 time stop rounds --> [ 1d4=4 ]{5}

Round one of time stop.
Fly 100 feet into melee with pit fiend.
Cast repelling shield (automatically swift as it's abjuration and 3rd level)
Cast righteous wrath of the faithful SLA

Round 2
Cast recitation SLA

Round 3
Cast Foresight SLA

Round 4
Cast Many Moments of Prescience

Round 5
Cast Assay Spell Resistance (swift) for +10 on SR checks vs the nessian
Enlarge to huge size via Alter Size divine ability (swift)
Cast true casting

The time stop ends, Alicia  is now bigger than the nessian. Being huge gives her +16 strength, +8 constitution, +5 natural armour, but also -4 dex and -2 AC/attack. Still comes out ahead, and her swords do 3d6 base damage now. She still has another swift action from mutliaction so she casts critical strike with it (keen, +1d6 sneak attack, +4 insight on crit confirm rolls) and we finally get to the whole point of the build where she full attacks.

She uses a maximised/vivacious Combust for her channeled spell. It's a 2nd level spell that does 10d8 fire damage, but with her metamagic that becomes 80 divine damage. No save against the damage but SR applies. 5th level slot with the metamagic applied.

Currently she attacks at +60 with her current buffs. She'll 5th level arcane strike that for +65. Righteous wrath gives her an extra attack, and perfect TWF lets her do that extra attack twice, so here we go with that full attack!

[16:38] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+50
[16:38] <Rei-chan> Ebiris rolled : 1d20+50 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{59}

Oh, +4 on all those hits. Forgot bane.

Rolling SR for that now, I assume a full attack channel only needs the one SR roll and the same result applies for all attacks since it's the same spell. Adding her +3 spell power bonus since she's guaranteed to have damaged the pit fiend before the spell hits.

[16:39] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+53 SR
[16:39] <Rei-chan> Ebiris rolled : 1d20+53 SR --> [ 1d20=8 ]{61}

And now damage for each one. Not adding the heartfelt blows gauntlet damage since it's fire and immuned.

Turn done, hopefully pit fiend dead!

1655 damage. Ow.  Suffice to say it's a splatter as I'd expect. Now granted a normal Nessian is geared and gestalted so they're a harder mark, but yeah, that was ugly.

Congratulations, Alicia. Next up I'll run each NPC in your node through it, if applicable. You can also have Marie try and fight one, in case you need a combat demo with her.

[Ebiris]

Sadly Marie would have to run away vs even an ordinary nessian.

[Anastasia]

First up is Antenora vs the Nessian. We begin with init straight off.

> roll 1d20+17
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+17 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{20}

> roll 1d20+9
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{18}

Nessian opens. First thing he does is quicken/maximize a meteor swarm on Antenora, which is meaningless since she nulls fire. He then uses blinding speed to rush in and try to charge her down, stay in close.

> roll 1d20+52
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+52 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{58}

That hits Antenora. Damage. Does not beat her DR - an unlikely situation, admittedly, as most of the gestalt ones take measures to beat the material components of DR. But it's a combat demo so whatever, and if it's that close, I'll note it at the end.

> roll 3d8+17
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 3d8+17 --> [ 3d8=11 ]{28}

541/550

Antenora takes a move action to fly 70ft back. This provokes an AoO.

> roll 1d20+52
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+52 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{67}
> roll 3d8+17
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 3d8+17 --> [ 3d8=12 ]{29}

532/550

Ow. She then uses her boots to charge as a standard action. She eats another AoO charging in due to reach.

> roll 1d20+52
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+52 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{61}
> roll 3d8+17
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 3d8+17 --> [ 3d8=10 ]{27}

525/550

Double ow. It doesn't stop Antenora and charge hitting is a go.

> roll 1d20+56 (+2 charge, +4 fiend dread, +13 smite evil, +14 furious strike, +5 might of the planetar (second swift action to cast this), -30 PA)
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+56 (+2 charge, +4 fiend dread, +13 smite evil, +14 furious strike, +5 might of the planetar (second swift action to cast this), -30 PA) --> [ 1d20=16 ]{72}

Hit. Damage.

> roll 3d8+558+4d6+8d6 furious strike
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 3d8+558+4d6+8d6 furious strike --> [ 3d8=16 4d6=8 8d6=37 ]{619}

Ouch. Nessian's still up and bleeding pretty good from that but not down. This time it's going to hellball Antenora.

> roll 1d20+37 SR
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+37 SR --> [ 1d20=13 ]{50}

Beats her SR so Reflex for Antenora.

> roll 1d20+36 Reflex
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+36 Reflex --> [ 1d20=14 ]{50}

Halves. Damage incoming.

> roll 10d6 sonic
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 10d6 sonic --> [ 10d6=29 ]{29}
> roll 10d6 acid
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 10d6 acid --> [ 10d6=37 ]{37}
> roll 10d6 electricity
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 10d6 electricity --> [ 10d6=39 ]{39}

Fire skipped since immune. Additionally she has acid and electricity resistance 20, so -40 for them damage. 65 damage total.

460/550

Also, Might of the Planetar gives +7 natural armor and a net +2 Con for her, so refactoring.

490/580

Now then, the Nessian also goes to full attack her, since that's what it does.

<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+47 (-5 PA) tail --> [ 1d20=15 ]{62}

Antenora's AC is currently 58.

425/580

Ow. Antenora would be bleeding more and using swift action healing in a more serious battle, but for no she'll repeat round 1. AoO takenx2.

> roll 1d20+47 (-5 PA) claw
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+47 (-5 PA) claw --> [ 1d20=18 ]{65}

<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+56 (+2 charge, +4 fiend dread, +13 smite evil, +14 furious strike, +5 might of the planetar (second swift action to cast this), -30 PA) --> [ 1d20=18 ]{74}

Aand that'll be a knockout regardless of dicerolls.

Realistically, an in play Nessian is roughly a match for Antenora 1 on 1, with variance depending on precisely the build, boosts in play for both, resources left and so on. Seems about right.

[Anastasia]

Next up is Latha vs the Nessian. He's sorta banged up now, had better days and really wished the DM found someone else for a combat demo. Sucks for him.

> roll 1d20+13
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{33}
> roll 1d20+8
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{26}

Nessian opens. Starts with a hellball this time since why not?

> roll 1d20+37
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+37 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{46}

Beats SR so we have a Reflex save for Latha.

> roll 1d20+40 evasion
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+40 evasion --> [ 1d20=1 ]{41}

Tragic. Pain incoming.

> roll 10d6 fire
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 10d6 fire --> [ 10d6=32 ]{32}
> roll 10d6 acid
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 10d6 acid --> [ 10d6=42 ]{42}
> roll 10d6 electricity
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 10d6 electricity --> [ 10d6=40 ]{40}
> roll 10d6 sonic
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 10d6 sonic --> [ 10d6=32 ]{32}

Immunes acid and resistant to fire and electricity 20, so a total of 64 damage.

441/505

The Nessian otherwise closes in, charging into give Latha a good clawing.

> roll 1d20+53 (+1 haste)
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+53 (+1 haste) --> [ 1d20=13 ]{66}
> roll 3d8+17
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 3d8+17 --> [ 3d8=15 ]{32}

Does not beat Latha's DR and it's 40, so no damage. Latha goes now.

Later, need a break, will pick this one up later.
