[QUOTE="mgshamster, post: 7294810, member: 6806321"] I can explain that. My original archer build had to start the combat hidden in order to cancel his disadvantage from the Sim's darkness and/or invisibility. I always shot the Sim first, as two arrows would take him out and I didn't have auto-advantage from the oathbow against the Sim. I figured starting the battle hidden would be allowed, as he started the battle with 6 rounds of buffs active. This was all before he had immunity to poison. Start hidden, shoot the Sim (likely concentration would break), bonus action hide, shoot Sim again. Sim dead. Shoot CL (advantage from Oathbow would cancel any disadvantage). Likely concentration would break. Use action surge, fire three more times with tri-vantage. With average damage modified by probability to hit per the standard DPR equation, I could kill them both in one round, but he'd be back with 1 HP thanks to contingency: Revivify. This gave him one action to use, and then he'd be dead. But all that's out the window now, because of immunity to poison. Ah well. Anyways, that's why he was so focused on preventing people from hiding. It's also how I know that he was the same person as the other forum, despite him trying to deny it over and over. [/QUOTE]
