[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9251920, member: 6801845"] Have you ever been in a forest? Seeing anything a hundred feet away or more is unlikely. Assuming absolute best case scenario for the party they [I]might[/I] be able to run down the troll. But in most cases, they'll want to try to immobilize the troll and attack from more than 60 feet away, so say 65 feet. Fire Bolt has a range of 120 feet, the first round they can close to 95 feet and do maybe 16 points of damage if every single person in the party has a 120 foot cantrip. You get one round and then it's out of range. Why would the troll not come back? It knows it can keep kiting them and wear them down, all it has to do is fight for a bit then run away. Seems like that would be a standard tactic. But yes, if the party gets a [I]ton[/I] of help they can win. All it takes is stacking the fight heavily in favor of the PCs. Of course if you [I]don't[/I] assume best case scenario for the PCs then the PCs die. [/QUOTE]
