Message: <blockquote data-quote="NewJeffCT" data-source="post: 5779999" data-attributes="member: 10784">Part of the adventure Stolen Lands from Paizo.  The disgraced cleric of a nature goddess comes seeking redemption, saying he had a vision of a long-lost temple of his nature goddess, but that it was guarded by a foul tempered bear.  The disgraced cleric said if he can restore the temple, he can regain the favor of his goddess.  Seeing a quid-pro-quo situation, the players helped him out and found the temple, thinking the restored cleric could then help them out with healing & whatnot, when needed.Since my group is a bit higher in level than the suggested for the module, and it's 4E and not Pathfinder, I made it into a family of dire bears.  The PCs storm the temple and attack the bears.Unfortunately for the PC, even though I needed 14 or higher to hit the artificer/swordmage, I rolled an 18 and a 19 and dropped the PC below zero.If it hits twice, the bear's normal attack is to then make a secondary attack, which it did.  It then attempts to grab PC, which it needed a 16 to hit, which I did.  After grabbing, the bear can do its Ursine Crush attack which is an auto-hit if grabbed, and that took the PC down below negative bloodied.I was not sure what bear behavior would do if confronted with an already dead opponent.  Would it rip dead PC to shreds, or would it continue to defend its turf and attack next available opponent.</blockquote>
