I made my DC 15 tumble roll. I use Improved Trip to melee touch attack him with my Guisarme and I do 45 points of damage. Oh and look, I rolled a natural 20 with my attack, so the Vorpal portion of it cuts off the head of the dragon if I roll a 2 or higher. A 3 on the threat. That hits. Yeah! The dragon's dead. Take that you sleezy Wyrm! HA HA. You are dead, so your Strength and Dexterity are zero, so I win the Trip opposed roll as well and trip you!" <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />How did you phrase it Danny?Oh, come ON! <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /></blockquote>
