Default Tactics

Cruxus

• Stay at range, using Eldritch Blast, use minor to Curse, range 10, +7 vs Ref, 1d10+5+2 dmg +1d6 if target cursed

Nik

• If engaged; Cleave, especially if minions are present, unless he can use Footwork Lure to either prevent an enemy from flanking, or set up a flank for an ally. Both are +12; 1d12+6. Cleave does 5 to another adjacent foe (will target a minion if possible), FL allows a 1 square shift and slide target into vacated square.
• If not engaged, move to attack nearest foe(s), then as above. Mark target if it is still there. Note - if engaged with one enemy, can use Pass Forward to move up to 5 squares without provoking OAs from that enemy, as long as he ends his move adjacent to said enemy (used to engage other nearby enemies if it will protect party members, or to set up flanking).

Tactitus

• Use Direct the Strike to give BAs to those that can use them. Alternatively use Grasping Tide on clumps of enemies.

Hope

• Stay at Reach, use unaugmented Demoralizing Strike against focus target (+10 vs AC, 1d0+6 damage, -2 to defenses until end of Hope's next turn), or if damage is especially high, unaugmented Energizing Strike (+10 vs. AC, 1d10+6 damage, ally w/in 5 gains 6 temporary HP). Use minors on Ardent Surge as needed. If crit'd by an adjacent enemy, uses Daily power of Great Hunger Halberd to deal weapon critical damage dice to triggering enemy.

Ditzie 101

How does that battlemap site we're using work anyway?

Follow the latest ditzie link you find in the thread. The tokens are moveable, move yours and any enemies you manhandle as needed. Press enter to save. You get an url, paste this in an sblock in your post. The next player in line will be using your url, you're not "saving over" my battlemat, we're generating new ones all the time.

To add shapes, just drag it from the toolbar at the top, double-click it to get a big list of differently-colored shapes to choose from. For bonus awesome, change the text to something descriptive and click the speech bubble to save it.

Shift-click-drag to change a token's dimensions. For speed, just drag your pointer far above and to the left of the token to set it to the minimum size (which is pretty sensible for condition markers). Alt-click-drag clones a token, handy for curse markers.

Advanced class: Double-clicking a shape brings up a lot of interesting settings. Most interesting is probably the browser at the top. Click "Beta" to get to root level, then find the directory named "Hellzon" (Ash's token, should be near the bottom). In the "Characters" directory, there's a wolf token for Tacticus' summoning power.
