Here are the stat blocks for Ashlann and the wolf. Edit: Changed to Edena's version Ashlann, Narrin’s Squire CR 3 Male human ranger 3 NE Medium humanoid Init +4; Listen +2, Spot +8 Languages Common, elf, orc _________________________________________________ AC 20, touch 14, flat-footed 16...

Unfortunately the wolf is only a 2 HD animal that has a Grapple of +2. It could not pull off what you described. The wolf's trick is tripping after it bites. I like the idea of the ranger coming to Narrin's rescue, so I will work up a stat block for him and the wolf, too, then post my version...

I started the battle with the dire bear in the clearing, Lidda hiding on one side 30 feet from the dire bear, Narrin and Claire on the other side hiding, each 50 feet from the dire bear and 35 feet from each other. Grom was always 100 feet behind the dire bear, so that is where he starts...

Yeah, rogues can be very dangerous if played properly. Sneak attack can ring up some nice damage. Remember, though, that concealment of the target negates sneak attack. So darkness or fog around the target disallows sneak attack, flanking or not. Ok, new scenario. I will take a stab at it...

It does not deny Narrin his dex bonus to AC. But it does allow Lidda to sneak attack. There are two basic conditions for sneak attack. The target is denied his dex bonus to AC or the target is flanked. There are others but these two are the main ones. This is found in the sneak attack...

It could have happened that way. But that is not as fun as mauling people with a dire bear and frying them with maximized lightning bolts. :cool:

Lidda's first attack was a sneak attack because Narrin had ran the 120 feet in round 1 to be next to her. Running denies Narrin his dex to AC until his turn in round 2. Her sneak attack in round 2 was because she was flanking Narrin with Hennett who threatened Narrin with his shortspear.

It's in footnote 3 in the chart on page 151 in the PHB.

I ran the battle again with the following changes. In round 1 Hennett Dimension Door's to the square north of Lidda again. He is carrying his shortspear. Narrin now has a +2 greatsword (+12 attack, 2d6+10 damage). I also changed his feats to Cleave, Improved Sunder, Iron Will, Power Attack...

Its on page 222 in the DMG. Check the DMG errata, however. This paragraph has been errata'd to say that for each "+" of enhancement the weapon gains 2 to its hardness and 10 to its hit points. You find the ordinary hardness and hit points on page 158 in the PHB. Note that Lidda's weapons are...

I ran the battle and it only took a little over 2 rounds. Here is what happened. Round 2 -Lidda tells Hennett that the brigand thinks she's an assassin, but the elf is not necessarily hostile. She then adjusts 5 feet northwest and shoots at Narrin twice. 10+18+1=29 and natural 1, one hit...

I am going to play the battle out, perhaps a few times, just to see what happens. I am really enjoying this little scenario. I will start with the setup after round 1, but I am making one change. Hennet, on his turn in round 1, would never run. He would Dimension Door next to Lidda. His...

As promised, here are the dire bear, Hennet, and Grom the half-orc ranger. Dire Bear CR 7 N Large animal Init +1; Senses Low-light vision, scent; Listen +10, Spot +10 ____________________________________________________ AC 17, touch 10, flat-footed 16 HP 105 (12 HD) Fort +12, Ref +9, Will...

OK, I will make the changes in a second. I will also get the ranger, bear and Hennet at 12th level posted tonight. I can't wait to see how you put it all together. :cool:

The iconic characters were printed in Enemies and Allies at levels 5, 10, and 15. Here is Lidda at level 10. I know you said level 11, but 10 is close enough considering our other 2 actors are only level 5. Edit: Updated to level 12. Lidda CR 12 Female halfling rogue 12 CG...

Yes, the mistakes were corrected in the new stat block posts. Claire's skill points are good as you had them, then. My post has the extra points spent. I will correct that. Edit: Actually, I just noticed that Claire has two cross-class skills with ranks (Search and Spot). So with the 6...

Claire has 3 too many languages, perhaps four if she started with a 15 Int. She only has 26 skill points but should have 32, unless you wanted those extra 6 skill points for those 3 extra languages. If so, then your skills and languages are correct here, unless she started with a 15 Int...

Mostly correct. There are a few problems with Narrin. I will post both in the new stat block format in the DMG2 and Dungeon magazine. Claire, cute elven mage CR 5 Female high elf wizard 5 NG Medium humanoid (elf) Init +7; Senses Low-light vision; Listen +2, Spot +2 Languages Common, elven...

Wow, never noticed that before. I wish that was in the grapple section. :confused: It seems that losing any dex bonus to AC plus the -4 penalty to AC is enough for pinned opponents, though. I wonder if the footnote here is a mistake?

A couple of comments. You cannot attack with two weapons while grappling (PHB 156), so you cannot attack with your primary hand and your off hand at -6/-10 in a grapple. On your turn you get to make as many grapple checks as you have BAB. Thus a 6th level fighter could make two grapple checks...
