What are we waiting on right now? If no one minds me asking.

It seemed like Jhishma was deferring the Duke's questions to someone else.

Quite.

Is the crossbow +1 add +1 to damage or attack bonus?

Both

Image of Grok having tea in high society is priceless :D

But alas, I think his invite got lost in the mail or something.

I think each of you has spent most of their lives actively holding your hands over your ears yelling "La La La" anytime anyone started to discuss lycanthropes.

Lycanthropes are boring, I prefer geopolitical history... :P

lotsa meetings today. posting will be limited

Ok -- never at any gaming table have I rolled like that -- and had that much damage behind a single swing! Please check my math, and if I'm not allowed crit damage on Divine Strike, deduct 11 for 49 damage.

Critical hits should be epic, memorable moments! I would totally count it!

You are correct that GWF does not apply to divine smite.

I also read somewhere that Savage Attack only lets you roll an additional damage 'die' not 'dice', so I only did 1d6 rather than 2d6 for that.

Sweet Christmas Nar! I'm going to have to examine all of that when I get home, but it is likely that your attack exceeded the target's 20 hit points. I'll describe the effects (and what else you see) later this evening.

That all looks legitimate. On a crit, you reroll all dice, so Divine Smite fits right in there. Your right about Savage Attacks, and correctly applied the 1d6 (this is why half-orcs may favour greataxes with that 1d12).

Now, that's totally OP damage, given that the creature only had 20 hps, but man you gotta give Nar the slow clap on that one.

Sorry guys I was on vacation and I thought Id have internet.

@azira Spending hit dice is normally your hit die plus your Constitution modifier, which for Grok is +4. Does Grok have an ability that increases this?

No, sorry.. Errouniously looked at the "saves" column. +4 is right, in that case grok is still 2hp out. I'll spend a second hit die to bring him up to full hp.

Busted! (jk, I make the same mistake all the time, looking at the save column instead)

Chaos! I'll post the results of this first round this evening. Portent is indeed awesome!
