FWIW I decided against using a Scythe for the damage output on a leap attack. But it's not even a new idea, this particular build is an old PFS build, although not with Bloodrager as that is banned in PFS.

It hails from 3.5e the Shock Trooper build. Although it's less feat intensive than ST

*cough* when I pick up vital strike it'll get even worse

Would have thought not pfs as the feat is 3rd party/3.5 esque. Unless I am looking at the wrong feat.

Also vital strike unfortunately wouldn't work as can't vital strike on a charge (it's a standard action) (and the vital strike dice don't Crit)

Edit: Can't find bloodline strike right now for those extra d6s, but those likely won't multiply either Unfortunatly. The general rule is extra dice don't Crit, flat damage does (except swashbuckler as its precision :p)

Ooh great point. I forgot that. Maybe need to revise my build. Although vital strike will make for better damage when otherwise jumping is not an option(which is rare but still an option)

Since Leaping Strike can only be used as part of a charge perhaps I should look into the feat chain that allows one to charge on a 5ft step and make turns during charges

Just as a heads up / assurance / warning.

In canon, Ajax the lesser commits SA. I am only referencing his intention here, nothing more. One way or another he'll be out of the picture long before anything else.

Yeah Tiwaz is gonna end their feud quickly if no one else does. Strongest man has to set a right example to the weaker ones. Acting like an animal is no beuno.

Indeed. Apparently these kids need to sort out their priorities.

Also, hello all! Sorry, I honestly thought that I'd posted a greeting. Thank you all for your kind welcome.

YOU LAUGHING NOW, A-A-AJAX?
Mar 25, 2023 1:26 am
You did tickle him
Mar 25, 2023 2:27 am
Ooooookay
so
Kouru is only mostly dead!
Because he got a crit fail, and that's gonna hurt, but his "confirmation" would have passed Ajax's AC. Since it wasn't a second failure, it didn't confirm, and no gods get involved due to that.

Luckily there might be a certain Sun Priest who can stabilize him. Poor Kouru tried to stop the inevitable. But looked badass in the attempt

And how many people can say they wacked Ajax in the dinger and lived to tell the tale?

But MAN, the ONES just keep COMING tonight!

I realize I made a terrible mistake naming this game.

"Not-Dyssey" rolls off the tongue far better.

Thank you Yeo...

Joms, to clarify, are you looking for someone to fight you on behalf of Kouru to determine Priam's fate, or someone to fight you on behalf of Priam because dude's 80?

Ajax dodges the blow but slips back to his knees. As Kouru speaks, Ajax's eyes dart like a cornered beast.

Booty! You can't claim me like some - some statue!

With that he leaps and lands another blow across Kouru. The soldiers cry out, indignant, ready to stone him. Their clamoring mixes with the proclamation of Tiwaz.

From near the altar of Zeus, King Priam of Troy approaches cautiously with the steps of a broken old man.

I will give you the fight you demand, Luwian. I deserve such a fate for my foolishness. But let me make one last plea to the divine.
For what it's worth, the temple had surrendered by the middle of the fight with Polites becasue Tiwaz is terrifying. Priam came out after Polites' death.

Also, did this guy just yell "SCREW KING ODYSSEUS" while standing in front of King Odysseus?

Tiwaz is technically right - the most dangerous kind of right! At least about Odysseus. See above for the claim over Priam situation.

Yes for Priam's fate. Although it is a duel and I suppose Priam also has the right to name a champion.

Also, did this guy just yell "SCREW KING ODYSSEUS" while standing in front of King Odysseus?

Not in so many words. Although yeah definitely screw that guy for trying to interrupt an honor duel that was accepted before the Goddess of Honor Duels

This is my least favorite way of being right. But I'm trying to die a legend here.

My dude, are you trying to die in what is effectively session 1?

I am going to veto this. Story-wise, the temple and inhabitants were claimed for Sparta, so they're part of the share of Menelaus. He absolutely outranks you.

Practically speaking, Priam had like 60+ sons. Killing a prince and taking his sword is something quite a few soldiers were able to do. Priam is the king of Troy.

Mechanically speaking, the honor of killing the king of the nation you've had under seige for a decade is worth way more than 2750 GP.

He's a sentimental, regretful, mournful old man, yes, and it'd certainly be better for him to die in battle. But due to the conflicting claims, this is the call I'm making. I appreciate your patience.
