conversations:  What do we define the conditions for the panels disolving as.
  I know it states any action on them causes them to disintigrate, but is that include free actions? would it dissolve if something touched the pannel from below.  Has any better list of things on the panels ever been made?
conversations: darkillini:
conversations: human
conversations:  Any action qualifies, including free actions, but not nonactions like performing an AoO. I don't think touching from below would have an effect(map specifies 'actions taking on them')

  Start in Y13, Hide shield equipped, holding lit bullseye lantern pointing west, heavy mace and lit sunrod
  
  Tent is in Y-Z 13, entrance facing west is open

conversations:  start in B14, holding  5 potions in left hand
   
   Spoiler 
  resist energy ones + invisibility
   
  
  
  symbiont not attached to me starts in B13
  
  you see rage claws shaped, (and because i know you'd figure out any description i gave you) airstep sandals shaped, and dissolving spittle shaped.
  
   PETA the anteterminator turn one 
  
  5 foot step to C15, shift a potion to right hand drink potion
   
   Spoiler 
  resist fire
   
  .
  symbiont flys from B13 to Z13, through ante's space,then as a free action buzzes its wings this should count as actions taken on both B13 and Z13
  
   no longer will the panels be there, so tent, ante, and symbiont(now stuck in tent) should all plummet to their doom correct?
  
  
  *edit was for word order, and grammer
conversations: darkillini:
conversations: human
conversations:  heh, that's clever.
  
  Anyway, though the idea is nice and technically legal far as I can tell, I'm pretty sure such a no-save-no-nothing-you-die trick would be outlawed(especially since this one pretty much invalidates the whole map for future Rounds). Same thing happened when Aberrant Commoner money-nuked Scorer with Attuned Gems. We blink in surprise, then we laugh, then we get out the banhammer.
conversations: TheFallenOne:
conversations: human
conversations:  Aww, but the race is fun.
  And how would this be any different from any warmage initiative battle,  where you get one shot by losing initiative.
  
  In this case if the tent had been closed to start it wouldn't have worked, which I was afraid you were going to do.
  
  Must say im glad I finally came up with something that threatens the banhammer though haha.
conversations: darkillini:
conversations: human
conversations:  Yes, it's sort of an honor 😛
  
  I don't mind losing the match to this idea; ANTE did what he was made for, the finale here is just a bonus stage after completing the game. Can give some extra a accomplishment, but in no need necessary.
  
  I fear though for future Rounds on this map when this trick is legal. Any fast-moving tiny or smaller creature can net a first-turn no-roll kill, be it a symbiont, animal companion or familiar or whatever. It could easily reduce the matches to a simple panel tag instead of proper fights.
conversations: TheFallenOne:
conversations: human
conversations:  Ya.. I mean how many tiny or smaller ACs, or familiars can you get at level 1and with aa 60 ft perfect fly speed.
  
  I can see why half delkar could be banned, they basicly get a free +2 throwing weapon each turn, let along the tiny pet shenanigans that were just shown.
  
  If its banned... and he's now lvl 2 since winning... can I change him to a diffrent race haha.
  I did want to make him a baurier origionally lol.
