[QUOTE="Tarryth, post: 6128982, member: 6746322"] [b]Death Urge/Full Attacks[/b] Talk about a Resurrect Thread spell... But I think that it is necessarily implied by the spell text that, if taking a full-round attack, the affected character MUST make a full-round attack including the most damaging effects he could make. "[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Trebuchet MS]On the subject’s next turn, it looks for the quickest method to end its life and attempts to do so" [/FONT][/COLOR] The quickest method, technically, is the one that does the most damage. If you have the option of doing a full-round attack including all your attacks/weapons, it MUST be done, because that IS the fastest method to end its life (if you do more damage that way rather than a spell or something else). Perhaps this is dependent on intelligence scores for the creature to 'realize' that the technically best option is to use the complete full round attack...but I think its rather obvious. Thus a Chaos Monk ought to Flailing Blow, given that it is the BEST way of killing himself, and using that full-round action. If there were a firepit or a dragon near, the BEST way of killing himself is being careless. [/QUOTE]
