Zadok, use the Hypertext d20 SRD!

Exactly, I used to have that site bookmarked, but apparently forgot to or was unable to transfer the bookmarks to my new laptop when my computer died.

It is my impression that magical bows added to hit and the ammo added to damage. Yes, it does mean a +1 bow doesn't do much, especially when there is an masterwork option. Though I suppose if you swung the bow in melee ... ... Bows with more than +1 bonus are still better than masterwork bow though.

Excellent point, Andrew, but I've never seen a D&D monster with "Damage Reduction x/masterwork"

I thought that the bow gave the +1 to the arrows for damage as well. You may want to look into it, because if it doesn't, why would you ever enchant a bow with +1 when you could just get a masterwork bow which would do the same thing AND cost 2000 gp less?

I spoke with trevor, and he said he's positive that it is listed in the book somewhere..... when i have some free time, i'm going to find it and then let you all know.

Read it. according to that, if you pick up a plain old arrow and fire it with a +1 freezing bow, the arrow will have both the +1 and freezing properties for that attack only. If the arrow doesn't break and is picked up later, It will no longer have those properties.

I am unable to see the map. Is anyone else having this issue?

i am

map? what map?

there is a .jpg link in jerry's post (view source and scroll way over to find it) or use IE to view the post. it shows up as a broken picture (box with a red x) and if I try to go to the source it says 'oops, you don't have access' or something along those lines. not sure what the issue is...

lucky you..... i don't even get the red X

Whoops, was tinkering around with Dropbox (which is sweet, by the way). Should work now!

ooh, new map looks cool. I'll be posting tonight.

posts to come by Laurie and I tonight.

you coulda just modified your previous post ya post whore :-P

then it wouldn't have shown new posts! also, you posting only to call me a whore is a slightly whorish maneuver...

but we all knew I was a post whore. we also thought you were above it. apparently we were mistaken. Way to try to call me out on something that everyone already knew was fact and doesn't bother with anymore. epic fail. Get back to posting in the legit manner, because i can whore topics better than you ever could (remember me vs zmx or whatevertheheck his name was?)

in an effort to not clutter the ooc thread, I am taking this subject to a better arena.

see: https://amurizon.rpg-board.net/anything-f3/post-whore-thread-t239.htm#4468

but isn't the purpose of a forum to post mindlessly?

Anyway, I hope we slay this golem soon....... I ONLY have 7 hp, and i've nearly lost half my hp already

lol, I'm losing more than that with each hit I take. Even my rage isn't gonna keep me on my feet much longer...and another hit like the last and my rage will expire and I'll be halfway to dead :D

Well... we're definitely putting the hurt on this thing. Hopefully we've made enough progress that one unconscious person won't be the doom of us all...

Heh...that's assuming of course that we are actually hurting it and it isn't just soaking all the damage with its DR +3 or w/e

Heh. Hey Laurie, looks like you forgot Philo's Fortitude save - it's ok though, it ended up not mattering this time. Just a heads up for next time!

yeah, that would be brutal... hopefully it's not some variation of a flesh golem... (EDIT: it's dead, please ignore)

Philo leans away from the noxious cloud, but it doesn't reach her.

Krytox, Alterith, Squin, Rasa - please make Fort saves.

I thought from this part of the DM post that she wouldn't have to make a fort save?

ooc: Krytox does not get a flanking bonus in this current formation, but here it ended up not making a difference.

I think I'm going to start using the d20srd site. The flanking rules weren't spelled out clearly I guess where I was reading them. I misunderstood which squares gave flanking, but this one makes much more sense. Thanks for the info!

so basically flanking works only if you have an opponent between you and a friendly character and you are on direct opposite sides (or opposing corners).

Yeah cool!

Good call Alex - sorry Laurie, I goofed on the Fort save thing. You were right to refrain from making a Fort save.

Jerry texted me and said that he'd be back within the next day or so. He has apparently been having connectivity issues, but assured me that a DM post would be coming soon. Just giving you all an update!
