Can a rope of Entanglement work on elementals say air ones.
I glanced through a few books, where is this item listed? I'll look it up and find out.Originally Posted by william

This is a game thread for a Play by Post Not general thread.
In regards to your question, it depends on the version of D&D you are playing.
1e and 2e Elementals do not have specific types listed in monster description. If anything, an elemental requires a magical weapon to be damage (I am assuming--it's been a while and they may only need silver weapons). The rules don't prevent you from grappling them. A rope of entanglement therefore would work unless the creature had magical resitance that may counter the object.
in 3e/3.5 creatures can have the incorporeal type which makes them immune to non-magical weapons and physical damage. The rope would not work on them. But the air elemental is not incorporeal, so it can be effected by the rope of entanglement.
In 4e, there is no write-up on a rope of entanglement (yet or I am unaware of them). Creatures of non-physical state are called insubstantial, but that simply means they take 1/2 damage on all attacks. A rope of entanglement would immobilize them unless they had a phasing ability or teleport. There is no straight air elemental writeup in 4e (at least in MM1, so a DM could desire to give it the insubstantial ability.
The DM is free to rule otherwise and that these creatures can not be effected by the rope. But he/she must be consistant in their ruling, given that a PC in 1e,2e, and 3e/3.5 can take the form of an air elemental in some way.
Wait just a god damn minute here.
What the hell is with this new thing, me not posting in time? What? It hasn’t even been the 24 hour mark since the last combat post was made! And what’s with this sudden new rule? Nowhere, NOWHERE have I seen it mentioned in any of your other threads in the group… until now. I can understand forgetting little notes, but this is too big a pisser to just freaking forget until now all of a sudden. I’m more than a little upset at this sudden magical new rule with shitty time constraints. What the hell, man. Seriously. That wasn't cool.
I think what Vodka is trying to say is, why weren't we previously informed of a time limit. Also what exactly is that time limit?
And from what I read of the description of the creature, our melee effects had no visual effect on it?
Agreed, lets set out any rules we need to know to avoid surprises or disappointment.
This sounds to me like the attacks were a success, just not any flavor involved in the description.Rultar's strikes true twice as well as Silt's jab.
Ah indeed I missed that in my haste.

I appologize to vodak.
You may move your PC to the top of iniative order before the creature for the second round. We willa ssume you delayed to be on top of the next round. Since the creature has attacked you may attack on round 2.
The influx of Pc's has had to redesign my posting regiment.
1. I usually have a daily post on moves. For now on, I will post around Midnight on the results of all posts. You will then have a whole 24 to get to post. Should you miss the post, I will move the PC, usually out of harms way or repeat the action it did the previous turn. You need not post on your iniative order but your action takes place in the iniative order.
2. Considering the make up of the creature, the damage you did was not as significant as you would like. The flavor I attributed is the holes left in it's form. And the fact they start closing up should be enough of a sign of what you are dealing with. It is but a minor action to use any knowledge skills you posses to determind the makeup of the creature.
Remember that monsters in 4e have a crap load of hitpoints.
Okay, so let me ensure that I am getting this straight... For each round, we can post in any order, yes? Doesn't matter what initiative order we have, just so long as we get a post in during that time slot? Yes?

To makes things simple, you are correct, that way you don't have to wait for the person ahead of you. If you wish to trigger your action after an another player, you may do so. You may also change lower your initiate order if you choose as per Delay.

As long as you have one. Remember that your mounts cannot attack less you have mounted combat feat. In any case, that's still a standard action on your part. They also use your move to get around.

so dismounting and readying for combat would be 1 standard action, and the only moves I can make, correct? No spells, etc?

Unless you want to make a DC 15 acrobatics or athletics check to leap off your horse. If you failed, you fall prone on the ground, ending your movement. You still have your standard and minor.
You can attack while remaining on your horse, any move action moves you and your horse while mounted using the horses speed.
Drawing a weapon is a minor action.
I forgot to add that furious assault is a free action encounter power that only triggers on a hit. Would have edited it in, but the forum likes to double your rolls when you do that.
