As it looks like Darv is freeing the caster this round, how extensively tied up are we? I'm right next to a giant, and I have Improved Unarmed Strike, so I can presumably attack with my feet etc., would it be possible for me to make an attack this round?
In all seriousness, I will admit I heartily enjoy building mechanically strong characters. But I'm not the soulless optimizer that builds everything to tower over everybody else. In the sheet I posted for this game, you'll notice a goodly number of my spells focus on messing with the enemy, and making it easier on my allies. Support spells, hand-in-hand with debuffs, and a little blasting. If all goes well, they'll make everyone look good.
(except the bad guys, of course. )
