The artificier uses most of his skills in buffing the warforged and miscellaneous stuff rather than trying to blast stuff. He had also buffed ready for the BBEG and so didn't really want to change tactics - he had an undead bane crossbow and missed lots.like i said before, with hindsight there were a few alternatives we could have tried - but we had a plan (soak it in oil, light it, surround it, splat it) that just went the way of the pear.just remember though, if the psychic warrior had been standing next to the warforged, ready to melee, no jumping or running on walls, he would still have been killed outright by the crit. If he hadn't done anything the blow had a 50/50 of hitting (& Killing) my ranger. So the tactics, daft or not, really didn't impact the death. the only alternative would have been a shoot and run tactics or just hide behind the warforged (which is the warforgeds characters solution to every fight btw)My ranger specialises in throwing axes, and carries 4, but was standing up front rather than trying to throw through the front rank. We hit it up front with two flask of oil and some holy water (and then missed with the torch to light it....). We thought about alchemists fire but we were down to our last flask and didn't think it was neededNot saying we handled it brilliantly, but for an misc encounter, in a straight corridor - room - corridor set up, we would have been OK apart from the crit.</blockquote>
