[QUOTE="Chimera, post: 2842593, member: 2002"] Party attacking Gnoll Village. BBEG and his druid minions getting away with bunch of elf bodies to complete a dark ritual. My Wizard runs over, drops a nice fireball on them, killing all of the minions (rolled so well that they were dead even if they made their saves). Five nearby Gnoll warriors run over to kill my Wizard. Our Scout and Rogue take down two of them with missile fire. My Wizard 5' steps back from remaining three and [i]Benign Transpositions[/i] with the Huge sized, telephone pole swinging Psychic Warrior. Oops. Bad day to be a Gnoll. Not used, but considered: My Wizard, being LN, has no problem getting through an area that damages Good creatures, which means the entire rest of the party. He walks across, then BTs someone over. Repeat process. The same could be done in cases requiring flight, spiderclimbing or any other 'special' means of crossing an obstruction that only the Wizard finds himself capable of doing. My Monk/Rogue with [i]Slippers of Spider Climb[/i]. Yeah, that's him crossing the ceiling or moving along the wall. The trap was on the floor? Oh well, better luck next time. Better yet, crossing the ceiling toward the BBEG after quaffing a Potion of Invisibility. We've had two of them so far asking where the fifth member of the party is when I'm doing something like that. In one case, I was already behind her. Spider-climbing Invisible (or not) Monk/Rogue using what has become nicknamed "Monk Crack". AKA, a [i]Necklace of Fireballs[/i]. Sometimes just [i]running[/i] around using it. Fighting along the top of a cliff. The Psion creates a strong construct and has it attempt to grapple the enemy Cleric, then walk off the cliff. Would have been great if the player hadn't rolled so poorly and the GM so well. Same tactic could be used as per the Zombie Pool. [/QUOTE]
