TOPIC: Green with Envy run Sunday 1PM - 3 Spots available

MasterED wrote: Ok, because there are no FoB compatible weapons (other than my hands without a to hit bonus) I think the Monk will not be useful here.

Looking at the class roster we are melee heavy so I am going to switch to Druid (if no one minds). We could use the healing and at least the spells will land.

Sounds good Ed. I will make note

Thinking new bracers as my rare to actually help deal damage on a hit. Need to see what i have on healing and put a whole stock aside for this run. Maube kirt/brad can offer a bulk discout for rhe amount we're likely to need.

I'm thinking even the Fighters should go ranged, despite the loss in AC.

With +1 Drow Lt. Crossbow, Drow Sting Armor, +1 Bolts, and Boots of the Drow I can reach +5 to hit (21 AC), versus a +1 Drow Blood Sword and Drow Commander Armor would only give me +4 to hit, +1 damage (but 23 AC).

Do we still take retribution damage when attacking at ranged?

Also, we should bring along Drow Rations (uncommon, Heal 5 pts but stunned one round) to heal up for 6 pts per person in puzzle rooms

I was thinking of some strategies last night (because bored):

Using the 100 ft spider silk rope to attempt to tie up/restrict the monster to lower it's to-hit bonus/actions?
Using the Large Sack over the head of the monster to blind it to lower it's to-hit bonus?
Loading the wizards and bard up with Stone Rain (UC) and Ice Dart (C) scrolls while the rest of us use our turns to administer Green Spotted Mushrooms to them to keep them alive (Cleric using Cure Lt. Wounds scrolls)? I'm thinking we would want to keep all non-scroll attacks and healing for the later rooms (assuming we make it that far).

Just some thoughts.

There is no retribution damage on Ranged attacks.

It might be worthwhile to go ranged for the added AC, still use an uncommon melee weapon and shield?

Anyone who has damaging scrolls, the Wizards would love you forever for the donation.

I don't think we will need more than 8 Swirling Shadows scrolls all run (4 for Wizard, 4 for Bard)

I don't think you can feed other people healing shrooms/potions.

why not? It burns your action on the turn to do it.

You definitely can, how else would you use a Mystic Mushroom/Potion of Death's Door/Fallen Star Mushroom?

The question is how does that affect the player eating the mushroom? I take my action to "feed" the mushroom to someone else, but does that cost the other player an action to "eat" it?

Well by that logic it doesn't require a dead character use an action to "eat" it so why would it cost a living one the action?

And beyond that if it doesn't cost me 1 action to feed myself a mushroom and a second action to eat it why would it cost 2 actions for someone else doing it?

I have tons of 2015 common and uncommon consumables. For this run I'm happy to sell them at cost (which I consider to be $0.10/common and $0.70/uncommon). Just give me advance notice on what you are looking for and I'll bring them along. You can give me back what you don't use.

I plan to wear the Girdle of Wealful Health and bring probably 50 of the 1-pt healing mushrooms for myself. Since this isn't Grind we should have plenty of time to heal up between rooms, getting 2pt of healing per 1pt mushroom.

The human fighter would be +5/+2 melee (22 AC, 32 hp) vs the +5/+1 ranged (19 AC, 28hp). So it may still make sense for them to melee.

That's exactly what I was thinking, that the eating portion is technically action-less (not a "Free Action", because that's something entirely different in TD/D&D).

I will take a store of like... 26 Ice Darts and 6 of the uncommon damage scrolls (that's 2 of my storage token containers worth) Will also take 3 shifting shadows (add that to my token pile please )
