The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Does D&D even account for tactics like that?

In a way. Its far more useful to keep shooting one target until it goes down, and then move to the next in general, because every round its up its doing attacks. So the only time it makes sense to spread out fire is if you can potentially put down individual targets quickly by yourself (mook equivalents in D&D for example) Essentially, if you have five targets out there who will each take about five rounds worth of attack from an individual attacker to go down, its better to have five, then four, then three and so on than have all five standing until they all go down.

There's stuff that makes a bagel good?

I don't understand, how in this thread, we haven't talked about bagel bites yet. It seems so natural.

Fluffernutter will do the job...according to its manufacturer, anyway.

That at least varies relative to particular edition a bit, but I'll accept its true about 5e. Sometimes its difficult to pull off that specific one if someone doesn't have an effective ranged attack. But its uncommon for it not to be possible to multiteam somebody.

Isn't it traditional for vampires (courtesans or not) to be undead rather than alive?

I always try to have some form or ranged attack. I was rather annoyed while playing a Warlock in 4e that the caster we were having difficulty with was at a range of 20 and was a Warlock, using Arcane Blast, which for a player Warlock has a range of 10. OK, crossbow it is.

Vampire lore exists mostly as something for successive writers to make exceptions to in order to show how unique and edgy their particular take is.
