I figured that was what happened. Something tells me Felbatista's a druid...

"Lucian watches the hideous, drooling creating running directly towards them - chased by the ogre." - HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I love pugs, but that's still funny.

@Shockwave - alternative explanation...he is a barbarian with a premature ejaculation problem cursed to his current form by an unsatisfied witch. Watch out when he goes into a rage...no leg is safe.

Welcome to the party Felbatista!

2... Okay, how did his near Nat 1 mess up this one?

hey fel, just an fyi I drop notes in-game in OOC spoiler posts. We're waiting for your initiative roll.

Can Aregano do a Monster Knowledge check?

Arcana (elemental fey shadow), Dungeoneering (aberrant), or Nature (natural)?

Do I get any penalties for attacking in pug form? Since I can't exactly Wild Shape now...

@Aregano: Don't you pick which type of Monster check you do first?

@felbatista: ummm... I would say your attack bonus remains the same, and your damage dice for physical attacks is reduced by 2 because of size. So, like, if you were going to do a melee basic for 1d8 you'd now do it for 1d4. But the damage dice for magical attacks should remain the same. That's not a permanent ruling let's just say that's a side-effect of the collar right now.

Hmm... I think that's too much for my tastes. Assuming he would be willing to do so, can Algotin remove the collar during his turn, even while immobilized?

Yep. Immobilized just means unable to run away. Technically anyone with two hands free can do it.

Is a knowledge check a "standard action"? Or is it a free action? Does Aregano need to do it during his turn?

Well, checks depend on what you're doing... so like a jump check would be part of a move. In this case I'd say it's a free action since you're just trying to access knowledge you may or may not have.

How much does Spike weigh? Less than 20 lbs I hope (my Shih Tzus weigh 11 lbs and 15 lbs each)...

Aregano is considering picking him up with a Mage Hand and moving him 5 squares into the air...possibly out over the water.

Less than 20 pounds indeed, yes.

Um... I'm not sure that's how it works?

fel, how do you want to play this?

Whoops! I thought it was all good since you didn't say anything about the plan part and just said he was less than 20 lbs.

What part doesn't work?

I guess the part where Spike doesn't know what's going on. If he's ok w it I guess it's ok, I originally thought you were going to tell him about it.

Cool. Then I'll wait for Fel's response and change my post accordingly.

Oh, shoot! Think I may have posted a little hastily seeing this here. (Why so hasty young hobbit?) Either way will wait until confirmation and will edit my post as well.

If needed.

It's all good. We'll just wait for fel.

Thought thaen, I think you took "infantile" maybe a little too literally... think more like "child" and less like "little baby in diapers."

I have no idea about what Aregano's trying to do... What's your plan, thaen?

And Spike's weight is in his sheet. Both in Shifter form and in Pug form.
