[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 2790337, member: 2020"] I didn't think of that tactic, obviously. Take a 5 foot step, then take an action that would normally provoke an AOO. A spellcaster's best friend, THAT one! - With that tactic, Lidda is much more dangerous. There is no way Narrin or Grom can stop her from filling them full of holes (with her bow shots.) They can attempt to grapple: that seems their only reasonable chance against Lidda. DethStryke, I totally agree. The bear would have stretched Claire out with one claw (then Claire would have pretended to be dead, if she was still above 0 hit points) and gone on to attack Grom. Grom, after being clawed and bit, would have most decidedly gotten out of there (a Withdrawal action.) Then he would have tried to decide what to do next. - Well put! If the bear grapples and thus loses it's Dex bonus, Lidda would most certainly sneak attack. Can she sneak attack twice as a Full Round Action? She is allowed 2 shots with her shortbow on a Full Round Action. What about Lidda's Precise Shot Feat? Wouldn't that negate her chance of hitting Claire, when she is firing into a grapple? - Ok, once the dire bear has someone grappled, it will strike at them with it's claw/claw/bite routine (all natural weapons) at -4. Or, it could attack with it's claw/claw/bite routine, and the moment one of it's claws hit (the first one, hopefully, for the bear) it would grapple as a free action, then claw/bite at -4 for it's remaining attacks. The bear would go for a pin (claw, hit, free action grapple, other claw, bite, then pin next round) but it says in the book that the bear can't claw/claw/bite a pinned opponent. Or can it? :confused: [/QUOTE]
