Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sunseeker" data-source="post: 6828816">How did the wolves knock the Giant prone?  They don't have the Pounce ability.  They have Pack Tactics, which gives them advantage when an ally is adjacent to the target.It's worth mentioning, the Fire Giant could sacrifice his ability to attack, and take the Disengage action and move right through the wolves as if they were water, which is what he should do.  Also, why is only the Paladin in range?  Are all of the casters staying at maximum range?(120 feet for Wall of Force), if so, how did the wolves make it into combat with the Giants in order to provoke opportunity attacks, as their speed is only 40 and it would have taken them two rounds to reach the Giants?  Did the caster conjure them at the maximum range, aren't the giants in some kind of den or something?  Assuming, at huge "tall" size a Fire Giant is 2x2x4, then all four of them, resting comfortably, would need at least double that amount of horizontal room, so a square-footage area of a minimum of 20x20, assuming they have some space in there I would imagine their den is something along the lines of 40x40.  And they're completely trapped by wolves?  That's just unbelievable.  Even if the wolves were set side-by-side, forming a barrier across the room, it would take 8 of them to do so, so at best you'd have a two-wolf-thick line.  If a fire giant charged that line he'd make it look like a trail of ants in his path.So what I'm really saying is that I'm questioning your math.  This situation seems very, very fuzzy.I'm not sure how your AD&D initiative and speed factors are working in here, but it feels like there's something else heavily working in favor of the party.</blockquote>
