[QUOTE="Mal Malenkirk, post: 4566105, member: 834"] [sblock]Err... I was waiting for you to act before updating, Garrick! I figured you'd do something about the monk in the doorway, either throwing a shuriken or moving to attack in melee or whatever. Anyway, I'll edit the map this evening. Leyra; yeah, I lapsused when I retyped k12. He is at K14 on my current map. Velmont; I maintained the original intent, which seemed to be vacating the doorway and lure him outside so that more PCs can attack him. Given his poor fortitude score (a pitiful 16) and your high AC (25 vs +12 to hit), it was a perfectly valid tactic even if you underestimated the real risks and odds of success. Quick math tells me that the worst case scenario (get hit by AoO and miss the lure attack) was only 22% while the ideal outcome (His attack misses and yours hit) was 27%. To get even more geeky, his AoO does an average of 2.6 DPR (damage oer round) to you. Your lure provided 7.85 DPR (factoring in Dagran potential damage from a reaping strike) + 45% of letting Dagran mark him and prevent him from just shifting back and launching shuriken on his turn. That strikes me as a good tactic. (Get me in th OOC thread if you want to argue maths!) Basically I saw no reason to do a complete retcon since the tactic struck me as perfectly sound, even factoring the penalties and risk of AoO. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
