Elements D&D (3.5) The First Age of Alamnar by Bender74d

DC 15 isn't that high... Also, they might have more than 1 HD each.

No, because they all shrugged it off. I would guess that they would have +0 to their will save, at maximum +2. Even then, the chance of failing your save is 60%. The chance that they would all succeed is 2.56%. That's pretty slim.

[Purity_Riot]

Why would you assume such a low save?

[bigbadbanana]

I am assuming that they are fighters of some sort.

While walking down the path four individuals jump out in front of you.  They are humanoid in size but something is a bit off about them.  They have dark reddish-brown skin, red noses, and yellow eyes that match the color of thier teeth.  They are wearing black tinted leather garments.  All appear to have a well polished longsword on them, however two seem to be holding javelins.  The four humanoids stand aggresively waiting to see what you do.

hint
they arent human

Uhh, okay.  Apparently I don't need that feat?  Makes it a pretty pointless feat.

I guess I'll draw my weapons, use a move action to approach one of the humanoids, and attack defensively.  I'll use my second action to attack with my main weapon and my extra attack per round to hit with my off hand weapon.

OOC: You only get that extra attack when you make a full attack. You're using a Standard Action, which only allows for one attack. Full attack is a full round action.

[Glitch]

...fine.

I'll just hit the guy with my sword.

In order to get all your attacks you cannot take more than a 5ft step, so you get one attack with one weapon. (with two weapons out and fighting defensivly your at a -5 to attack.)

You swing your sword at the enemy but miss slightly to the left.



I'll continue the battle when i get home from work

OOC: -4, not -5, and that's before his BAB and his strength modifier.

If you want to make an attack with each sword as a standard action, you need to take the feat 'dual strike' from Complete Adventurer.

Yeah realized my math was off on my way to work so i left early to come home and fix it....i have his attack bonus at +1 already based on the duel wielding and resubtracted the duel wielding and defensive fighting into the roll (1-2-4=-5).  The correct total negative is (bab +1)+(str +2)+(duel -2)+(defensive -4)= -3.  But he rolled a 6 to attack so he misses regardless.

Enemy 1 raises his sword above his head and slashes it in Geoff's direction.  Luckly for Geoff the sword does nothing but cast a cool breeze on his skin. (miss)

OOC: Where are you getting -4 for fighting defensively? I've always heard it as -2?
