Juliana Returns From The Grave
After review with Manzanita, I agree -- barely -- that the defensive intent behind Bront's post wasn't entirely respected.
So.
We go back in time a little bit.
Bront -- the Rat Leader LongTooth just finished taunting you, your race, your courage, and the color of your underwear.
He's got a reach weapon, and a "come n get it" look on his face.
{Your PC has no way of knowing LongTooth has a "readied action" by the way, nor what it might be, so strike this from your memory.}
Beside you stands Hallidor, who is also ready for something -- something...
Hallidor speaks to Juliana -- "What.. what do we do NOW?"
What DO you do?
(Thankfully, I don't think changing your actions here effects the other PC's actions too much).
Personally, since 97.7% of the time Juliana's actions would have had no dire consequence, I don't think they were tactically unsound -- 20/18 is the real problem. But, let's move on.
Zaeryl, is it correct that you drop your ranged weapon, draw your club, and attack without moving?
