    (1d9)[ 7 ]   Bah.
   
   Spoiler 
   
   
  
   All Combatants, please post character sheets and roll initiative. 
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The_Chilli_God: Fear the wrath of  Froy , the Shirtless Commoner!
  
    Initiative  - (1d20+1)[ 1 ](2) 
  
  Edit: Feck yeah! Natural 1! Try and beat  that !
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Bayar: Run for your life ! It's  Carl  the basketweaver ! 😁
  
  Init:  (1d20)[ 1 ] 
  
  Just need to pick a feat and some skill points distributed and stuff...
  
  K, that made me laugh. Go ahaead and take first turn.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The_Chilli_God: Well! I can see from our rolls that we're already off to a wonderful start!
  Just holler when you're ready.
  
  I was  this  close to making Froy a basketweaver as well, but I thought it ironic to make him a tailor who doesn't have a shirt.
  
  PS: Your sheet isn't public yet, I don't think.

conversations.value: The_Chilli_God: Ah well. Start in W11, with  trident  pitchfork and one torch drawn.
  "Hey, look't me! I'm in the arena! Woot!"
  
  Double-move to P11.
  
  Your move!
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Bayar: Sry for that. Publicized.
  
  I start in D11 and double-move to O11. You can see that I am wielding 60 baskets, put one inside another one, thus creating a two-handed weapon, according to the improvised weapons rule in Complete Warrior.
  
  Your turn.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The_Chilli_God: Right! Attack number one: With  trident  Pitchfork fury!
  
    To hit  - (1d20-2)[ 17 ] 
    Damage  - (1d8+2)[ 7 ] 
  
  Edit: =D
  Your turn.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Bayar: Ouch! That hurt !
  
  Basket strike !
  
   (1d20-1)[ 19 ] 
   (3d6)[ 7 ] 
  
  I only have 3 HP left :(  Hopefully it will hit.
  
  Edit: It seems you went to hell in a handbasket 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁
  
  Edit 2: Oh and forgot the +3 STR bonus.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Bayar: Oh, and a crit !
  
   (1d20-1)[ 19 ] 
   (3d6+3)[ 8 ] 
  
  Edit: 18 damage means you are dead. I smashed your brains to pulp with handbaskets.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The_Chilli_God: Well-played! You just can't say no to a critical hit. =P
  
  And now, may I take this chance to ask two questions about the theory behind wielding 60 baskets in one weapon?
  
  The first one would be: Baskets are quite soft as far as improvised weapons go, don't you think? Even if there's 60 of them. Ever been hit in the head by a basket? It doesn't hurt much. I reckon the theory behind this would be sounder (though less funny) if you stuck to, like, a 60lb tree or something other than baskets.
  The second one would be: How are you wielding 60lb of weapon when a human could only wield 50lb before getting out of the weapon stage and into the Large-creature-only stage? To say nothing of only 58lb being your light load. What was your rationalization?
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Bayar: umm...was lazy to calculate and thrown a random number?
  
  And yes, I got hit by a basket once. If made out of twigs, those buggers hurt alot.
  
  Wow, never saw the restrictions, ah well, noted for next time I bash people up with baskets 😁
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The_Chilli_God: Oh, well, sure. If they're made out of wood, I'd understand. I was under the impression that these were made out of flax, though.
  
  One more thing. You rolled another 20 on that confirm crit roll. Care to confirm that crit crit hit?
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Bayar: there is a crit crit?
  
   (1d20-1)[ 1 ] 
   (3d6+3)[ 17 ] 
  
  That is not a 2 I rolled. My 0 from my 20 has chipped off from too many 20's 😁
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The_Chilli_God: Well, no. Not really. But there was that chance of a triple-20.
  It would have turned out the same way, but it's always fun to find out if you did score a triple-20.
  
  Like this character a friend of mine played, he triple-20'd with a thrown soggy carrot. Against his own party member, no less. Now  that  was funny.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Bayar: that amount of succes behind the throw of the carrot would mean that it could shoot into the target's ass at great speed, causing force damage. At least in theory that is 😁
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The_Chilli_God: The DM actually ruled it flew straight into the target's open mouth (cuz he was singing quite horribly at the time, see) and choked him to death.
  
  But that works just as good. 😛
