This is exactly why a cleric with the travel domain is a better choice for this tactic. Also, why bring just one fighter? Heck, in one case the cleric brought three people in on top of the BBEG. Right past all the traps he had littered the slope with. :D

Um... I don't think Conaill was being serious...

This one's for ThirdWizard Goodbye d6! We finally got'em, ThirdWizard, we finally got'em... ;)

Saw the thread title and number of posts and was immediately reminded of a post by Quasqueton asking how a question with such an easy answer could have so many posts. I should have known. :\ Just one more comment on the lack of civility in modern culture. Regards to bouncing lightning bolts...

The nice thing about having a spouse who games includes not having to choose between sex and gaming... My worst would have been in high school. I was rushing to a game and T-boned a pickup truck that had pulled out in front of me and stopped. I was driving a four-wheeler. This messed up the...

More Cool: Orcs - They have finally gotten past the pig-headed humanoid origins on Monster Manuals of old and grown into a race that can be an ongoing challenge to PCs.

I have been playing LG in Raleigh, NC (Gran March) since last year and let me tell you: combat almost always happens in a way that makes scouting and sniping unfeasible. People don't usually bother with with much hide skill because the box text for the adventure assumes the PCs walk into...

Definately true. If there is one thing I can't stand, it is players who like to play 'Gotcha!' with the GM, even when I am just one of the players. Carry on!

So kept him from taking a useful spell because it had immediate application in a specific situation the player knew of? So it helps him out this one time, so what? Would you rather he took another combat spell? It isn't like he was making a sorcerer and took it as one of his two starting 1st...

My point exactly.

Ah yes, THIS debate again. For the record, Spellcraft is for (among other things) IDENTIFYING spells, not recognizing that someone is casting one. To the example of charming guard, I would expect a guard in the decribed situation to be pretty alarmed if someone started casting a spell in a...

Um, that is only on a FULL attack. Even a dire octipus only gets one attack with a standard action.

and more uniform then is normally the case... PS - I think it speaks well of you that you joined the thread.

I find that 'Teaching the players a lesson' rarely works out like the GM would prefer. Have you just explained to the players that not every fight is intended to be fought and that they won't necessarily miss out on something if they don't fight it?

In any case, you have had your answers and suggested solutions. Anything else?

RealArcade when I clicked. Must be a troll.

I remember that Dungeon. I believe the monsters were called 'Househunters' or some such.

If all you want to do is have them try to use the net to entangle, then I would say that one of the riders would make the actual touch attack attempt while the other made an assist. I would require ride checks from both though. And they would draw AoOs.

Not to mention that the account was opened today...

It was an absolute blast. Great exercise too! Really makes you realize how static untrained fighters are, eh? Ah, the days of rhino hiding... I remember one story I heard from the SCA where a guy who was known for not taking hits was struck so hard in the helmet that it was dented and he...
