My goal is to piss someone off enough (probably in a D&D thread) to redtext/avatar me. Apparently my posting isn't bad enough.

By the way: do I know what makes the torch happy, vs what makes the torch not happy? Is it one of those things where it's more powerful if I make it happy?

Edit: I'd be ok if this weren't the case and we just kinda handwaved "here's a new thing you can do" on occasion.

edit: This is a note to me to switch out Killing Flames for Delbun's Eye next level, because I just don't get to use Killing Flames often enough. If I can get a late power swap (I haven't used Killing Flames since we hit 25), I'd appreciate it, but I also understand if I need to wait to 26.

You made it back safely, which is no small feat. Some of those wilderness encounter tables are brutal. Even more so in an ephemeral dreamscape! We'll see how many hexes you can crawl tonight Monday, August 28th, at 7 PM PST.

Would you believe you missed an encounter without any auras? No, you shouldn't because there wasn't. But a rousing game of keep-away was played with a childish trillith, and an ambush with someone who is absolutely not Undead Female Thor is about to begin. Absolutely. Not.

I hope the interview went well.

With that Spiral Tactician feature, I'm pretty sure that enemies are literally better off never ambushing you. At least then the opposition (you guys) don't get a full round of actions while the so-called ambushers just get a surprise round. That look on their face is pretty great, though.

Here's something I don't know about 4e rules.

Spiral Tactician lets me take an action during the surprise round. Which means that I'm aware of the situation, and effectively not surprised.

Can I use an immediate action? Is that immediate action the one move I can do? Can I do a move, and an immediate action, during the surprise round?

There has to be a ruling of some sort, because of stuff like the Battlefield Archer's Combined Fire is a reaction that one could feasibly use in a surprise round. Someone's figured this out before.

edit: I threw the question in the 4e thread. I know I've read specifically you can't use APs on surprise rounds, but I've got nothing on triggered reactions/interrupts.


Edit 2: Here's the talk:
