Regardless of tactics, a certain number of damage dice must still be rolled and tallied.But to say that tactics don't matter doesn't seem right to me. If the PCs had decided, instead, to try and purge the spirit, then it would never have got to the point where the dwarf fighter could finish things by jumping into the water and pushing the stones down. How is that not making a difference?I thought I explained this in quite a bit of detail. Maybe it's just me, but I think there's a pretty big difference between standing next to a pool of water saying a prayer to Moradin to purge a spirit (the dwarf is a multi-class cleric and so is trained in Religion, and so might have tried this), and jumping into the water using your axe as a construction tool.I also explained the consequences, and how subsequent checks exploited those consequences, in some detail.</blockquote>
