[QUOTE="Dr. Zoom, post: 155411, member: 409"] Yes they attack using all their natural weaponry with a full attack. They do not need anything special to do so. The attacks listed are the creature's normal and natural attacks. Some creatures have feats that help their attack routines, however. If the troll moves more than 5 feet in a round, it cannot take a full attack. It makes one attack (standard action) with its primary weapon, which is its claw. Check MM page 7 for more details. You use the [i]aid another/cooperation[/i] action found on pp. 135 and 62, respectively, in the PH. Essentially, one character is the leader and the other is the helper. The both make a strength check. The helper rolls against DC 10. If he makes it, add a +2 to the leader's check. If he gets a modified 25 or more, success! Yes, he may retry as many times as he wishes. He might trigger a trap, however. See page 60 in the PH under the [b]Retries[/b] heading. Depends, I guess. Sure, they will eventually smash it open with their weapons. If there are no villains or creatures around, just let them bash it open and continue. It is not too exciting rolling for each hit and damage. Treat it similar to taking 10 for skills. If there are villains around, let them bash it open, but give the bad guys ample time to prepare. They should be perfectly set up for an ambush, and the spellcasters should be buffed and ready to go. Don't forget to roll for random encounters, too. This action makes lots of noise. My fighter-types always try to break down doors first. But sometimes you got no choice. [/QUOTE]
