FFD6: The Dicening: The Discussion: Uno, Dos, Tres, Quatro, Cinco, Cinco, Sies

Argh, sorry. Wanted to make a post yesterday. Gonna make one now.

Teal, planning! I like it!

Speaking of which, this is our average damage this turn. Accuracy to be determined later.
Jade: 13 damage,
Argath: 11 damage,
Caspin: 8 damage,
Vera: 10 damage,
Prasad: 18 damage,

This isn't quite accurate, cause if you're hitting them, you've already rolled high enough to do more-than-average damage, but I'm not going through the math with that much precision.

I'd recommend that we focus down on the weakened bees, before they start healing each other, or calling for help. I hope that, between the five (or, rather, four, since Argath's gonna be sitting this one out) of you, you can take two of them down. Though honestly, probably hoping in vain. If the mages both cast their spells on the newly-arrived guard, it should hopefully be either dead, or sufficiently weakend for you guys to kill it, by the start of our next turn. You'll take damage from 2-3 standard bees (depending on how the turn goes) and the guard, which will thankfully focus on Jade.

Sooo...

Fie+Docus: Start casting fire and aero on the guard bee.
Prasad: Fire on Bee 4 (20 HP)
Caspin: Attack Bee 4, or, if Caspin takes that out, Bee 3
Everyone else focus down on Bee 3 (32 HP) and hope you roll well.

What would be ideal would be to just have everyone focus down 4, and, when that's dead, switch their targeting to 3, but I somehow doubt Krylo wants us to handle our battles that way.

And I think killing the guard is a better use of the mages' time and mana than killing the standard bees. Also, I really hope they run out of bees before we run out of mana. Maybe Jade should apologize, or Docus should.

Speaking of which, this is our average damage and chance to hit this turn:
Jade: 13 damage, 70%
Argath: 11 damage, 60%
Caspin: 8 damage, 40%
Vera: 10 damage, 60%
Prasad: 18 damage, 60%

Actually, Prasad has 50% (roll three, drop the highest--reduces his accuracy considerably), Jade has 90%, Vera and Argath both have about 70%. Not sure on Caspin, I'd guess around 55%.

Not sure if you forgot the hunter's roll or if you're assuming people can roll 1s (2 is the lowest anyone can roll as we're using two dice), but I did the math the other night out of boredom utilizing a table with all possible, and differing, dice combinations.

[Geminex]

Wait...
For evasion, do you have to roll equal? Or higher? Cause I've been assuming higher, but that's just because, you know. Past midnight.

And I'd like to see the table you used to determine Prasad's probability.

Edit:
Okay, looking at your math, looks like it's "equal". Which is cool.
I'M NOT BAD AT MATH, PEOPLE.
I just don't know the rules.

Though, wait, you've confused me. If you need to roll equal, then Vera's got 92% and Argath has 83. If you need to roll higher, then Vera's got 83 and Argath has 72. Neither fits. Of course, I'm wrong as well, soooo...

Krylo, I tried to ask you on IM but didn't have any luck, so I'll ask here.

Do healing items like High Potions work at full potency on undeads?
IE: Does a zombie take 50 damage from a High Potion?

[Dracorion]

Krylo, will Docus' hands break if he keeps on making puns?

[Geminex]

Only one way to find out. Besides, there's way worse out there.

Mind you, I still take credit for encouraging them, but responsiblity?

Nuppers.

Despite being the statistically better choices, for in character choices I think Kole should attack Virulent Zombie A and Elsa B. Elsa would probably attack the zombie attacking her before a teammate, and Kole would attack a zombie attacking a different teammate before Elsa.

Elsa only does 1 more point of damage then Kole, so barring really bad rolls both zombies will die.

[Teal Mage]

Like I said, you don't have to listen to me. Don't know how easy it is to tell which person the Zombies are attacking given how clustered we are though. But its really up to you to decide how to play this. They're your characters, you know?

I'll be offline until tomorrow morning, because I'm not feeling well, so if Krylo really wants to move the game ahead in the meantime, Arden will cast Cure on herself.

Edit to make my stance clearer: Arden charged at a pair of Zombies who would be able to kill her on a bad Evade Roll, instead of running into the Data Room to escape their Infection Abilities (smartest thing to do), because she isn't the type of character to leave her allies to take a spell in her place. What's the tactically best thing to do isn't always what the character would do, so, its up to you all to decide if you want to go with what I suggested, or something else.

[mauve]

I'm cool with attacking either one. I'lll try and post later.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Hey Menarker, should we focus on sword dude, or down the two mooks?

I'm personally in support of annihilating the weaker two first.
