Okay - then can you give me an example outside of DR/Magic where a creature strikes as a magical weapon?

(also - when quoting the FAQ - please do provide page numbers so others can find it as easily) - that one above is pg20.

Hmmm... you are right; that ruling seems to be in contrast to the incorporeal text....

I can't seem to find anything.  I suppose magic fang and amulet of mighty fists seems to be the only things that actually make them magic weapons, so I'm not sure how the mechanics work.

Amalia vs Zodiac II is started. I can't believe I didn't get more done today - but that's the way it goes some days.

OK, I think Bernik vs Reginald is fixed now. I just bumped Bernik's attack up to Round 5, which gives the same result but saves Reginald a scroll (of Scorching Ray) and a use of Burning Hands.

Bray vs Aranea is up here

My comments Show

Boy that looked like it'd be over in 2 rounds, and then realizing Mage Armor was up made about the next 12 swings into near misses.  Aranea's bite could use a bit more damage, that DR was deadly.  Although all those poison saves should have added up to more than they did, in a fair world.  Overall, I think that was a lot closer than it probably looks, given Bray's huge HP and the tiny damage of the Aranea -- but that poison could have kicked in at any time

Also: I'm so out of pitlord practice; sorry, I'm sure it's riddled with mistakes!

@Uknits -
Thanks for the run!
I have a few comments - nothing that would need to be changed on my account, but if there are changes, some of these could be relevant

--Dennerel is specified as starting in a front corner, not sure why he's where he is; this could change a bunch, depending on LoS, including that initial arrow

ACs were designed to block access and get AoOs, but while they did a great job, I think they missed some AoOs too
--Rd 4 AC should get an AoO for ranged weapon firing; same in Rd 5
--Rd 6 AC should get AoO for movement too

However - I got super lucky there, and I absolutely am thanking the dice, and certainly hope the outcome stays as-is

Thanks for the fight!

Whoops.... you are right about the corner.  It was hiding and it's late.  I rolled for the corner as you didn't specify and it doesn't matter as he still had line of sight.  Cover on the first shot would be debatable, but since that hit didn't affect the fight anyway, it shouldn't matter.

As for AoO, he 5' shifted and I forgot to mention it in round 4.  In round 5, he wasn't next to an AoO until it charged him.  Round 6 was a withdraw since there was no reason not to.

sigh,thanks for the run...
sigh... well, now he has a ding, I don't have to fear being arogant...
ouch, I didn't count on those ACs in round 1-2... should have had him just dodge and snipe, let him run through 150 rounds of ACs... or done a proper rage smash, made him vigor instead of dodge...

but two misses?  one on a ******* charge?  that was at 15 to hit?  the hell? thats a 75%! why did you curse the dice!
the secound was just 13 or 65%.... but still?  were was my crit?

@Eluria - thanks for the run.

The only thing I would note is that when Bray "bumps" into the invisible aranea - that would provoke.

Definitely was an error in my tactics not to have shield rebuffed - even though I would have lost anyway.

I'll have to come up with a solution to make the poison a problem for those with DR, though I suspect that will come down to having some sort of magical attack that can't be easily Resist Energ'ied...

Well see what the next level brings for sure.

I'm sad to say it - but this week  has gotten away from me and it is looking more and more likely I will not get to the remainder of the Amalia vs Zodiac fight. If I am not exhausted after encounters tonight though - I'll try to fit it in.

No promises though.

If someone can pick it up and do it - great. If not - I will finish it up after pairings tomorrow sometime.
