[QUOTE="FormerlyHemlock, post: 6632192, member: 6787650"] Concur. Melee is lame. Last night my PCs boarded and defeated a neogi deathspider with 26 umber hulks on it and a neogi wizard captain, and they did it on the strength of skeleton archers, Spike Stones + Everard's Black Tentacles in a choke point, and judicious Counterspelling. (I didn't give the neogi Dispel Magic.) I honestly thought they were going to die even with 24 skeletal archers on their side and only 1d4 umber hulks emerging per round, but the difficult & deadly terrain spells carried the day and no more than three enemies at a time ever got into melee range. (I'll take credit at least for the awesomeness of Spike Stones taking 30 HP off each umber hulk since I was running the NPC who cast it.) If the umber hulks had a ranged capability, or if the PCs hadn't proactively targeted and disabled the four neogi ballistas early on, the neogis would have won. Missile >> melee.
