Will the corresponding Chuck Norris Bear Trap be in the DMG? It gives a bonus to the Punch to the Face maneuver.

Well not exactly. If I see a giant coming at me (I'll probably hear it much sooner than that), there are spells I can use to slow him down and weaken him. A bodak is kind of a sudden thing. Gaze attacks have such a sudden quality to them... you see it, you're either alive or not.

DM: The bodak sends his gaze at you *rolls dice* He hit. You died. Player: I don't get to save? DM: No, 4e streamlined all of that. Here's a new character sheet, let me know when you have it ready... ok, your turn, Driz'ztylon. That's one reason I wouldn't like saving throws baked into the...
