[QUOTE="ryryguy, post: 5268066, member: 64945"] [sblock=ooc]Wow, ENWorld seems horribly slow today! Anyhow, I will go through and answer your questions... I should be able to update tonight. The stat block is their basic melee attack (used for OA), they have another attack that is not a basic attack. It does 6 damage (with a lower chance to hit). The cows are pseudo-minions (basically hand-waving by me). But it's safe to say that one can survive one hit from a broodling, but not from the big guy. For clarity, let's say two broodlings hit on the same round, or three broodling hits total will kill a cow. Or a critical hit if a broodling gets real lucky. Also, I will go ahead and tell you now that if necessary, you can round up the cow which escaped into the forest. It will take more time and cost everyone a healing surge for running around in the dense woods... but it is a good backup plan should you lose both the remaining cows in the pasture. (It looks like Papolstaanas is pretty close to handling the broodlings around the one anyhow.) I was unclear in my description before, but Chaku isn't prone after his movement (unless he wishes to be). I was just trying to describe visually what it looked like - the goliath doing a sort of awkward limbo to get out from under the cow - but the result of his move action is that he is standing in an adjacent space. As stated above, Chaku is not actually prone. But to answer your question, a prone creature cannot [b]shift[/b], but he can be [B]slid [/B](or pushed, or pulled). So your ability would indeed work on a prone target. Now that you know that Chaku is not prone, I'll let you guys decide if you still want to slide Chaku away. He's not as vulnerable, and Jynxx had to forgo making an attack to do it, but Chaku might like the opportunity to get distance for a charge attack on the creature (though who knows where it will move on its turn? you could do the same thing but wait until next turn to set up the charge?). Mezegis should get the final say here - hopefully you can answer before I go to update tonight. Also, [B]Jynxx[/B] - you still have your moment of prescience ability, can you give guidelines for when to use it? To negate the next hit? Probably better: the next non-broodling hit? Or next hit on a bloodied target, or next hit by the big guy, etc.? Jynxx also has his minor action remaining this turn, it might be wise to use a Majestic Word on Chaku or Az (though she pumped her defenses so...) [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
