   All Combatants, please roll initiative and declare any final purchases. 
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Sallera: Init:  (1d20+6)[ 20 ] 
  
  Purchases:
  From before, sell shortsword (+5), buy mw shortsword (-310).
  I'll also buy a potion of Shield of Faith (-50).
  
  Edit to the edit: I remembered  why  I'm not wearing studded leather.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: madtinker: Robin, init.   (1d20+3)[ 22 ] 
  purchasing potion of cure light wounds.
  Edit: and a sling and ten bullets
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: madtinker: Question about your character sheet:  Are you applying dex to shortsword damage?  I don't think weapon finesse does that.  Is there something that does?    Also, I can see a seven for attack bonus; 5 dex, 1 small, 1 MW.  What am I missing, some swordsage feature?  (Sorry, I only have basic rulebooks and SRD).
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Sallera: Aye, no problem.  Dex to damage is from Shadow Blade, and the additional +1 is from the Swordsage's Discipline Focus.
  
  Edit: Although now that you've made me look at it more closely, I note that it adds Dex to damage, rather than replacing Str to damage with Dex to damage, so I do 2 less now.  S'what I get for insisting on playing a Kobold.  &gt;&gt;;;
  
  Edit again: 😦 Oh, bugger.  Apparently despite three separate sheet checks, neither I nor anyone else noticed that Weapon Finesse has a +1 BAB prerequisite.  Ehm... well, it had no effect in my first match, since I drowned myself in quicksand, and the second I won by DQ, so... should I just replace that with something else before we start?  Going to be completely useless now. 😳
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: madtinker: Notice my edited purchase includes a sling and bullets.
  Lets do this bad thang.
  Robin, Rd 1

  It's happened before.  I think with this exact feat since the requirements are bloody stupid.   Since its never actually been used, just swap it for something else, and we'll call it good.

  Not done, need to see results.

conversations.value: Sallera: Probably not a hit, but if it is, taking the higher result for  (1d4+3)[ 7 ]  +  (1d6+1)[ 7 ]  fire.
  
  Done.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: madtinker: To clarify;  The standard action of shadowblade gives you two attacks, right?
  and, where was LoS established?  I had a readied action to attack you as soon as it was.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Sallera: Shadow Blade gives you two rolls, you can either take the higher one, or take the lower and do an extra 1d6 cold.  So in this case only the higher roll counts.  And your readied action would have gone off when I was in T13, I think.

conversations.value: madtinker: So I need eight damage or I'm a dead half-orc.

  Was a good match, rolling max damage certainly helped me. ^^
