BOSS BATTLE MECHANICS (do not respond)

[pharology]

Everyone rolls a d20 to act, one roll per person per round. Please bold the action and roll your character makes for the round.

Here is a rough diagram of the arena, it will be updated in real time to keep track of the spread.

General

The lantern will dim the longer the algae is on/around its enclosure. If the lantern is extinguished, the boss gets stronger. Beware!

No need to roll for buffs, just assume they take effect immediately, and they will not take up the action for the round.

Debuffs and status ailments from any source cannot be evaded nor mitigated. This also applies to any debuff or ailment the boss sustains.

The algae will keep spreading along the ground for as long as there's an untouched spot. It will advance one tile per round.

Characters standing on the algae will be inflicted with Hunger and light damage after a time. If your character is inflicted with Hunger while taking an action, divide your roll result by 2 for your action for the round. If you get a .5, round up.

Characters may attempt to stall the algae’s progress by damaging the floor, but there is a chance for the boss to summon an add to spawn algae elsewhere on the arena.

The algae is immune to everything except Me Patra.

Fighter-specific

11-20 is a successful hit. 18-20 will make that character the boss' priority target for the next round, priority to the highest roll. 20 is a crit.

The boss has high resistance to magic, debuffs and ailments, but low defense. Doesn’t matter what element the attack is, as long as it’s physical.

The boss enjoys using debuffs and immediately heals any damage he takes.

Utility-specific

If you're rolling to attack, Fighter guidelines apply.

No need to roll for healing HP, it's always a success, and it will not take up the action for the round.

Using Me Patra on the algae or a character with algae-induced Hunger is not a free action. Utility characters must choose between cleansing the algae on a single tile, or cleansing Hunger. Roll a d20 in case of a crit.

20 to cleanse will cleanse both the ground and the character standing on it. The ground remains free of algae for a round.

This section will be expanded when characters discover more of the hidden mechanics. Please look forward to it!
