[QUOTE="DM with a vengence, post: 680954, member: 1679"] A quick questrion: Where is this 'Fight Club' you speak of? Now for the advice. You are already dead. Hitpoints can be drained so quickly you won't even realize they're there, DCs and saves can go into the high 30s, AC and attacks can easily go over 100, and in general there are so many ways to reduce your opponent to a corpse in a single round that there's no way to effectively defend against them. So you need to hit harder and faster. 1) Win initiative, if they've won, then you're dead. 2)Look for ways to negate their abilities on their side, and then beat the crap out of them. Here are some ideas. Get a Contingency loaded with your most powerful healing spell. When reduced to 10 hp or less, you get a free Heal or Cure Critical Wounds. Hasted with continual Horns of Blasting. A horn of blasting stuns you opponent for one round, you can use it with your haste action and then move up and beat the crap out of your opponent. Horns are also only 12k gp, so you can get 3 or 4. Fighter focusing on Trips/Disarms. Most people don't bother with a secondary weapon, and if you can keep them down and away from their sword, you can win the battle. Anti-magic grappler. Most characters are weak without magic and even weaker when grappling. Grab hold and twist their arms off. Miss chances are your friend. Get a Ring of Blinking and a couple of Swords of Sublety and that rogue becomes a sneak attaking death machine. [/QUOTE]
