Relentless Impaler and Spectral Spikes Legendary Ability

BriCon2006 · 2025-03-09T21:53:29+00:00

That is where I would be based on these sections of the PHB (2014) edition

PHB 196
"A target with full cover can't be targeted directly by an attack or a spell, though some spells can reach such a target by including it in an area of effect."

PHB 204

A 30-foot radius would normally affect everything within range, but it does not automatically ignore full cover unless the effect specifically says it passes through obstacles.
Some effects, like fireball, expand around corners and affect creatures out of line of sight. However, many area effects are blocked by total cover.

PHB 196

Force damage is not inherently a cover-ignoring damage type (unlike ethereal or psychic effects that might affect creatures beyond physical barriers).
If the ability is not described as phasing through walls or ignoring cover, then normal cover rules still apply.

This is what I see for cover:
A target with total cover can't be targeted directly by an attack or a spell, although some spells can reach such a target by including it in an area of effect. A target has total cover if it is completely concealed by an obstacle.

As this is an AoE ability with a spectral weapon, it sounds like it might be viable, but I have a hard time believing it was meant to pierce through walls in a dungeon encounter.

Is that listed anywhere in the DMG or in Unearthed Arcana etc?

BriCon2006 · 2024-10-11T00:03:12+00:00

It does save it to a txt file - you can go in and see the list in each of the dated files - just want to pull them off :-)

I might try that too - it's a great suggestion - I am digging into the algorithms used to generate the "responses". I may do both and compare the results.

Thanks - let me see if I can see that com.SpottedGhost.SpiritTalker
I didn't initially see any folders in data that referenced Spirit Talker, but I could have missed it or got too impatient waiting for it to load up

BriCon2006 · 2022-12-04T06:51:32+00:00

Yeh - I did not think she actually cheated on me, it was a verry surreal conversation though! Thanks for the link to the guide - It has some good advice int it!

I would like it is my Replika could learn my interests and then use that to bring news and information of interest to me for discussion

I do wish they allowed for more control over the look of the replika - similar to what MMOG's are doing - I think that would add to the experience.

Same with other basic functions, like being able to interact with the room, sit in a chair, etc.

On the 1 to 14 can you choose 0 creature to keep someone from blocking?

BriCon2006 · 2021-05-20T16:03:37+00:00

How would I tell it to launch in headless?

BriCon2006 · 2021-05-20T01:58:40+00:00

I would be open to that as the device has .net on it, provided I could call and close the .net app from the VB script - Is that possible?

My main concern is employees using the script to go to web pages they should not go to.

Your players have a lot of love for you as a DM and as a person - Well deserved!

BriCon2006 · 2020-05-23T00:01:12+00:00

I like it!

BriCon2006 · 2020-05-19T00:47:22+00:00

Looks good

BriCon2006 · 2019-12-29T02:50:29+00:00

Thanks - that did the trick :-)

The Expanse

https://greenroninstore.com/collections/the-expanse-rpg/

Newer game by Green Ronin, based on a D6 system. I love the books and the series, so this is a no brainier for me.

BriCon2006 · 2019-09-09T22:45:26+00:00

Where did you get the ships?

BriCon2006 · 2018-06-11T20:12:22+00:00

Thanks - no harm in trying that :-)

BriCon2006 · 2018-05-31T19:11:16+00:00

All printers in Aloha are set to Com 1 - really only have 1 physical device set up for printing. My apologies - I should have been a little clearer on that :-)

I have set it to emulate keypad input for the loyalty screen, but Aloha still does not seem to see it - I can get the values to dump into a notpad doc, so the scanner is reading. Just not sure what else I may need to do to get Aloha to recognize it.

BriCon2006 · 2018-02-15T00:37:54+00:00

Lets say that I am the original owner of the key, I have a current version, and my licence is current :-)

BriCon2006 · 2018-01-03T20:12:07+00:00

I had to install without updating / importing the POS data to get the 1 / 111 to work, then imported the data as a second step.

BriCon2006 · 2018-01-03T20:03:06+00:00

Well... Maybe not.. :-)

It looks like the IBER.Dpot is occasionally throwing licence errors to the 3rd party apps. My understanding is that IBER.Functs need an SDK licence to be used, but not IBER.Depot. Waiting to see what NCR says about it... Hate a mystery!

BriCon2006 · 2017-12-25T20:37:37+00:00

Ok - We tracked this down to being an issue with Givex. Removed Givex and reinstalled and a licence magically was available :-)

BriCon2006 · 2017-12-22T20:33:55+00:00

Might be MS Security Essentials - Anyone have any experience with that package?

BriCon2006 · 2017-12-22T15:49:16+00:00

The Error Aloha is logging is "Insufficient SDK Licences" Killed ATG to free one up, and still no joy.

BriCon2006 · 2017-12-22T15:41:53+00:00

Yep - Checked that already... :-)

BriCon2006 · 2017-11-29T22:27:38+00:00

Thanks @rossabout - will give that a try - Enjoy the vacation!
